Thea had been trending for the past two days.
Plenty of paparazzi followed her around, all of them hoping to get the scoop on her love life. Yesterday,
when James brought Thea flowers yet she said she wanted a divorce, the paparazzi had managed to
capture it and spread it all over the Internet.
Now, everyone who was constantly on their phones knew.
Only James was unaware.
Zion was unhappy that Louisa had said all those things about his friend, but he dared not get angry.
Instead, he said softly, “Louisa, be nice. When I was at Dragon Fountain Villa, he helped me.”
“How dare you bring this up again?”
Louisa pulled Zion‘s ear, saying viciously, “You‘re lucky I wasn‘t there. Otherwise, I‘d be embarrassed to
death by you. Look at the company you keep. Get back to work!” “Okay.”
Zion shut his mouth and slipped away.
“James, it looks like your friend has no standing at home.” Zane smiled.
James glared at him.
Zane‘s smile froze and he shut his mouth.
“Oh.” James looked at Zane, asking, “Are people looking down on me because I didn‘t bring a
present?”
“I think so.”
Zane nodded. “Look at everyone else. They came bearing expensive gifts. You didn‘t bring anything,
and you‘re sitting at the entrance like an imposing statue. No one would be happy about that.”
“Why are you still sitting there? Arrange for some presents to be delivered now. Do you not want me to
cure your daughter anymore?”
Zane was stunned.
And then, he sprang into action. “Yes, of course, right away. What present are you thinking of, James?
Something more valuable or just normal gifts?” “Normal gifts will do.”
“Got it.”
Zane took his phone out and made a call.
“Get some presents sent to Dragonair Steamboat at Old Town, Sand King Road. Just some normal
ones, nothing too lavish.”
After that, he looked at James pleadingly. “James, I‘ve got it covered. When will you go check
on Cynthia?”
James waved a hand. “I‘m familiar with her condition. She‘ll live. I‘ll tell you more when I have time.”
“Okay.” Zane was overwhelmed with emotion. “J– James, what about the birthday party?” James
waved his hand again, cutting Zane off. “I dislike crowds. I‘ll see if I have time tonight to drop by and
wish her.” “Of course. Sure. Yes,” Zane babbled. As time passed, the crowd grew. Most of them were
Louisa and Zion‘s classmates and Louisa‘s friends. Louisa knew more people, and even some of the
big business owners were there. Zion‘s contacts were normal, everyday people.
He was poorer.
After he graduated from high school, he started working at a steamboat restaurant. He was there for
five years, learning how to make the soup bases and match ingredients. Then, he quit and went to
work at a construction site.
All his friends were from the construction site.
However, they were very supportive of Zion. When they found out that Zion had set up a steamboat
restaurant, they turned up in droves. It was about ten in the morning. More than thirty grubby
construction workers showed up at the entrance.
“Thank you for coming.” “Harry, come in!” When Zion saw the foreman leading his workers, he went up
to greet them. “Zion, what are you doing?” Louisa, who was greeting the other guests at the entrance,
got angry. “Don‘t just let anyone in. All the tables have been reserved. Everyone who‘s in there is a VIP.
Why are you taking this trash in? You‘ll affect the VIPs‘ appetites.” The workers were unhappy hearing
that.
