The Blithe King’s appearance did not affect James at all.
Since he resolved Thea’s problem, she had called for his return.He was in a good mood, humming a
tune comfortably.
Soon, he reached Thea’s house.He knocked.
The door opened.It was Thea.
Seeing James, she fell into his arms and started to cry.James could not help but be moved as a
beautiful woman threw herself at him, accompanied by an intoxicating scent.James put an arm around
her shoulder, smiling.
"It’s okay.Everything’s okay now.Don’t cry.Your eyes will get puffy if you keep crying."
Thea stopped crying then, pulling James into the house with her.
Everyone was there.
However, they looked ill at ease.
James approached them.
"Dad, inom."
Gladys nodded, acknowledging his presence.
"Don’t blame us, James.We had no choice."
"Mom, I don’t blame you.I only have myself to blame for not being able to help." James smiled. He did
not blame anyone at all.
Furthermore, when it all came down to it, he could not blame Thea anyway.No matter what she did, he
would accept it as he was indebted to her.
James sat down and took two invitation cards out, passing them to Thea.He asked, "Thea, do you
know who Yuna Lawson is?"
"Hmm?" Thea took the invitations. She looked confused.
"I think I do.I remember she was at university with me, but she was two terms behind.She was the
school belle.Many admired her for her beauty.I think she’s from an important family in the
Capital.Why?"
James said, "I don’t know.On my way home, I bumped into her.She’s having a birthday party at
Cansington Hotel tomorrow.She’s invited you."
Thea unfolded the invitation.It was an invitation for her and James, signed by Yuna.She was confused.
"I don’t even know her.Why did she invite me?"
James spread his liands, saying, "How would I know? She delivered the invitations in person, so I
couldn’t reject her and took them home."
Thea looked at James, a hint of jealousy on her face.
"It would make sense if she delivered it to me since we were at the same university, but why did she
deliver it to you?"
Immediately, James said, "Thea, I promise I don’t know her.I haven’t even seen her before."
"I’m just kidding.Look at you, all flustered."
Just then, a group chat on Thea’s phone flooded with messages.She took out her phone, reading the
messages.
"Oh my God, big news!"
"Our school belle has sent me an invitation for her 25th birthday party at Cansington Hotel tomorrow."
"I’ve received an invitation too!"
"I was wondering if she’s the same Yuna who was two terms behind us? The school belle, Yuna? Yuna
from the Capital? The current chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals?"
"Yes, the delivery person mentioned it.It’s Yuna Lawson indeed!"
The group chat that had been silent for a long time started buzzing with messages.
All her classmates had received an invitation.
After Thea read those messages, she was bewildered.
"Wh-what’s going on? We barely crossed paths with Yuna.Why is she inviting all of us?"
"Thea, this is your chance." Gladys peeked at Thea’s phone.
Looking at the messages, she said, "I’ve heard of Longevity Pharmaceuticals.They’re a huge
organization, only second to Celestial in Cansington.Furthermore, they’re the partner pharmaceutical
group for the city’s designated hospitals.Since Yuna invited you, go for it.This is an excellent
opportunity to expand your social circle."
She was right, but Thea was still puzzled.Why did the chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals invite her
and her classmates?
