She weltered with tears every night.
She walked out of her room listlessly.
Gladys, Benjamin, Alyssa, and David were in the living room. Although David‘s injuries were not
completely healed, he was discharged from the hospital and was now back home recovering.
“Thea...”
David called out to Thea and rebuked her, “Why didn‘t you tell me about your divorce with James? If
you had told me about it, I would‘ve stopped you.” Thea walked over to him and sat on the sofa
listlessly. Her face was devoid of any emotion. She looked at David and asked, “What? Don‘t tell me
you knew about James‘ true identity.” David shook his head. “Not really. It happened before I was
admitted to the hospital and was captured by the Watsons. Back then, James had come to save us,
remember? After getting you out, he returned for me. It was then that I saw him kill Gavin and
mercilessly beat Zavier to a pulp. After that, the Blithe King came to clean up the mess. He even
announced to the public that he mobilized his army after receiving a report.”
“Huh…”
Thea laughed at herself. “I‘m such an idiot.”
She should have known that a piece of trash would not be capable of summoning the army time and
again. “What should we do now?“David said in exasperation, “He was so nice to you. Now that you‘ve
driven him away, what should we do?”
“I–I don‘t know.” Thea shook her head. She was remorseful. If she could start over again, she would
not mistreat James like before.
“Thea, why don‘t you head to the Southern Plains?” Gladys suggested. “Since James loves you so
much, he‘ll be moved if you go all the way there. Then, you two will be together again.”
Thea shook her head.
Go all the way there?
What was the point of it?
She had deeply broken James‘ heart.
Besides, James was there to fight a war. He was not on vacation.
She would only cause trouble for him if she went.
Not only would she not be forgiven by James, but he might even detest her more. “Never mind, I guess
I‘m just not fated to be with him.” “Sigh...”
Everyone sighed. At the same time, in Scarlett‘s office at Transgenerational Group... Holding the
resignation letter in her hands, Scarlett looked at Quincy, who was standing before her and frowned.
“What‘s the meaning of this, Quincy? The Group is at its most critical phase. If you resign now, who am
I supposed to delegate your tasks to? How could you resign when James had only just left? Think
about how disappointed he‘ll be when he returns to see the Group in such a state.”
“I‘ve thought long and hard about this, Ms. Brooks.” Quincy took a deep breath and said, “I‘m not suited
for this position. Many gifted and talented people in the world have yet to be discovered. As long as you
search patiently, you‘ll find someone to replace me.”
“But, what about James? How would you ever face him again?”
“I...”
Quincy opened and shut her mouth. She chose to remain silent.
“Anyway, I‘m not signing off this resignation letter.” Scarlett returned it to Quincy and ordered, “Get
back to work.”
“Regardless of whether I get your approval or not, I‘m not going back to work.”
“You…”
Scarlett trembled with rage. Quincy walked out of Scarlett‘s office and stood by the door. Taking a deep
breath, she murmured silently, “I wanted to stay and help him manage the company. However, I have to
consider my own happiness. If I lose this opportunity, it‘s all over for me.”
Quincy had lost sleep last night. After contemplation, she decided to go to the Southern Plains. Even if
she could not see James, she could still be a volunteer. She wanted to contribute to the war effort by
participating in logistics work to support James. of course, it would be best if she could have a glimpse
of him.
