Cynthia was on James‘ arm, both of them looking like two peas in a pod.
James did not like it at all.
However, Zane had given Zion lavish gifts on his behalf and invited everyone to dine at the steamboat
restaurant, which helped boost Dragonair Steamboat‘s reputation.
From now on, they would never be short of business.
As such, he allowed Cynthia to take his arm.
Thea watched as they entered.
She had no courage to approach.
She stood far, far away, hesitating for a moment before turning away.
“Thea, what are you doing?” Gladys grabbed her.
Thea looked resigned. “Why would I enter? I‘ll be a joke.”
“You silly girl. Have you forgotten our lessons? You‘re his wife! Now that your husband is with another
woman, you‘re running scared? You have to be more confident. Walk up to Cynthia and say hi. Tell her
that you‘ll lend James to her just for a day because it‘s her birthday. How do you not know this?“.
Gladys looked determined.
“I can‘t do it. I wanted a divorce, and now I have to make nice again. I can‘t do it.”
Thea said softly. She felt like her world was crashing down on her. She had married someone she did
not have feelings for.
The one she liked was her best friend‘s boyfriend.
She hated her life. Why did God treat her this way?
Everyone said that good things come to those who wait, but she had waited and waited to no avail.
Instead, she was suffering more than ever. “Thea, you can‘t give up.” “It‘s five hundred billion dollars.
Do you know how much that is?”
“Thea, our future depends on you.” Her family started to advise her again.
Thea only felt hatred. They only cared about money.
Thea‘s eyes welled with tears.
Gladys felt like she was too harsh before and softened her tone. “Thea, I know that you have feelings
for the Black Dragon, but don‘t you know who he is? He‘s the God of War of Sol. All the girls in the
nation like him. How are you going to compare? Furthermore, didn‘t you say that he‘s with Quincy
now? James is about to get five hundred billion dollars. Why go after the Black Dragon? What‘s wrong
with five hundred billion dollars?
“Listen to me. It‘s all for your own good. “Come on, let‘s go.” Gladys dragged Thea into the shop.
Thea entered reluctantly.
Zane had reserved the whole place.
Everyone else was chased out.
They were mostly Louisa‘s friends, family, or former clients.
Some of them were Zion‘s friends.
The rest were their classmates.
Everyone was chased out, but they did not utter a single complaint.
Many people gathered at the entrance of the shop. “What‘s going on?” “Isn‘t that the genius doctor Jay
Fallon?”
“What genius doctor? Thea Callahan is the new genius doctor. I saw her enter too.” “I saw Celestial
Group‘s chairman Alex Yates as well. I only ever saw him on television.”
“Yuna from Longevity is here too.”
“So many VIPs at this small steamboat place. How many people does Louisa know?”
Everyone started to discuss it.
Louisa was standing at the entrance begging, “Zion, it‘s all my fault. Please give me another chance.
Since we shared a bed, please forgive me. I will never look down on your friends again. You call the
shots at home.”
Louisa knew that Zion had connected with a really influential person.
After today, Dragonair Steamboat would be a famous steamboat restaurant with endless customers.
All of that meant money. She did not want to give that up. “Get out.”
Zion did not give in.
“Louisa, you knew this was coming. You should have been nicer from the start. Let‘s not keep in touch.”
Zion left her with that, walking into the shop.
