Some people wished for James to resume his post. Some also disapproved of the idea. It took a lot of
effort to finally get James to leave his post. He would act lawlessly again if he resumed his position. If
that were to happen, who would dare punish him?
The meeting lasted the whole night. However, they were unable to come to a conclusion. The next day.
In Cansington James slept through the whole night and woke up in a daze. He remembered that it was
Thea’s twenty-eighth birthday. Initially, he did not want to go to her party. Still, he wanted to send her a
word of blessing, as she had been his wife at one point.
He got up, shaved his beard, and washed his face. Then, he put on a decent set of clothes. He sat on
the sofa, smoking a cigarette while thinking about what he should gift Thea. He thought about it for a
while but could not decide what to get her. Ultimately, he chose not to get anything since he could not
make a decision. He got up and went out. He did not drive and simply took a taxi to Cansington Hotel.
The situation in the Southern Plains was critical.
Yet, Cansington still maintained its peaceful state.
In Cansington Hotel.
Thea arrived early in the morning.
The Callahans stood at the entrance to welcome the bigwigs from all over Cansington.
Each one of them was full of energy.
A taxi stopped by the road. James handed the driver a hundred-dollar bill and got out of the car. He
was dressed in a black suit with matching black leather shoes. “Yo! Isn’t that James?”
As soon as James walked over, Tommy’s voice sounded disdainful.
“Didn’t you already divorce Thea? What are you doing here?” “Is there a problem? Am I not allowed to
come?”
Megan walked over in a revealing dress. She saw James at the door and smiled. “Of course, you’re
allowed to come. However, you’ll need an invitation if you want to enter the hotel today. Do you have an
invitation from the Callahans?”
“No.”
James did not have an invitation.
He simply wanted to give a word of blessing since he was once married to Thea. “You don’t? Then, get
lost,” Tommy shouted. Suddenly, Gladys walked out. “What are you doing, Tommy? Everyone is a
guest today. How could you…”
She approached and saw that it was James. Instantly, her joyous mood was destroyed. “It’s the piece
of trash, James? Thea didn’t send you an invitation, so what are you doing here?”
The Callahans despised James.
They wanted to kick him out. “He was invited by me and is my companion for tonight.”
A voice sounded.
James heard the voice and turned toward it.
A young woman in her twenties, who was dressed in a white gown and looked like a noble lady,
approached him. It was Cynthia.
Cynthia walked toward James and hooked her arm around his intimately. She smiled brightly and said
sweetly, “James.”
“Ms. Dawn, please do come in.” Gladys’ expression immediately changed to a bright smile after seeing
Zane and Cynthia. Cynthia retorted, “Apologize to James. Otherwise, I’m not attending.”
“What?”
Gladys was embarrassed.
How could she possibly apologize to a piece of trash like James? It was impossible.
Thinking of Zane and Cynthia’s identity and that Thea’s ten billion dollars came from them, she quickly
apologized, “I’m sorry, James.”
James took a deep breath.
He was used to it and did not take it to heart.
Cynthia held onto James’ arm and entered Cansington Hotel.
