Thea was still in a daze.
Everything that just happened was unbelievable.
The Hills formed a circle around her.
Cyrus asked puzzledly, “What’s going on, Thea? That was Richard Xenos we’re talking about, the
patriarch of the family. He’s someone with assets worth hundreds of billions! Why was he kneeling
before you?”
“That’s right, Thea. How influential are you exactly?”
“Who’s the one helping you out behind the scenes?”
“Why did Richard Xenos seem so afraid of you?”
The Hills chimed in.
Thea was puzzled too.
However, she assumed it was the mysterious Mr. Caden working his magic in the shadows,
She did not know he would be so influential that even Richard Xenos of North Cansington would be
fearful of him.
Whew!
Thea took a deep breath.
Her head was spinning. She did not want to think about this anymore.
“I – It’s nothing. By the way, a word of caution here. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today. He’s
the patriarch of the Xenoses worth hundreds of billions, after all. If word spreads, his reputation will be
ruined. With the power and influence of the Xenoses, crushing us is just child’s play.”
After warning them, she stood up to leave.
Her head started spinning with just a few steps. James caught her in time. With James carrying her,
she left the room. The Hills glanced at each other. “Cyrus, is Thea really that influential?”
“That was Richard, the man capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, and he was kneeling on the
floor like an obedient dog. It’s unbelievable.”
Cyrus sat on a chair and lit a cigarette.
Though he had met countless bigwigs throughout his life as a businessman, he had never seen
Richard before. That was because he was not yet qualified to do so with the number of assets in his
possession
He did not expect Richard to keel on the floor and obediently fork over two billion dollars.
A hundred million per glass? Truly terrifying At that moment, he had a clear understanding of how
terrifying Thea was. No, it was not Thea who was terrifying. It was the one behind the scenes.
He had heard of her affairs.
It was a Caden, a mysterious Caden, behind her back “Tell no one about today’s incident. If word gets
out… Hmph!” “Understood.”
“I won’t tell a soul, Cyrus.”
At the same time, Thea got in a car,
She was drunk, and her head was spinning. She did not want to think of anything.
“Honey, do we return to the Hill residence or somewhere else?” In her seat, Thea opened her eyes and
said, “F-Forget it. Let’s not go home. Just get a room at a hotel. We’ll go home tomorrow.” “Got it,”
James replied.
Then, he pulled out his phone and searched for a nearby hotel. He drove toward the location.
Soon, they arrived at a five-star hotel. After parking the car, he got off the driver’s seat and opened the
passenger’s door. Then, he helped Thea down. Thea was drunk. Her cheeks were flushed, and there
was not a single ounce of strength left in her.
She collapsed into James’ arms the moment she got off the car. The alluring fragrance tickled James’
nostrils and greatly stimulated him.
His arm wrapped around her slim waist, and his heart was pounding.
With his arms around Thea, he made his way to the hotel’s entrance. Not far away, a group of drunk,
young men were walking over. They were bellowing tunes.
“D-Dylan, look. Over there.” Upon seeing James helping Thea toward the hotel entrance, one of the
young men quickly regained his senses and exclaimed while pointing at Thea.
Hearing this, the rest of the group turned to look They were stunned.
Exquisite! What a fine woman!
They had never seen such a stunning beauty.
“Dylan, It seems like the beautiful lady has had too much to drink And look at that guy in ordinary
clothes. There’s no way he’s a rich guy. He must have picked her up on the streets and planned to get
a room at the hotel. We shouldn’t let him get away with it.”
