Thea’s words sent a shiver down Maxine’s spine.
She did not expect Thea to say such a thing.
“Thea?” She looked at her, puzzled.
Thea smiled. “I was just kidding. But Maxine, you have to work harder. Enemies on all sides surround James. He can only live in peace only when everything is resolved. Otherwise, he won’t be able to live a comfortable life.”
“I know.” Maxine did not think much about Thea’s remarks. Instead, she said dejectedly, “I really want to help James. I really tried... But I’m too weak. No one in the Cadens will willingly accept me as family head. There’s also Luca to worry about…”
Maxine sighed deeply.
Thea remained silent. Although she disliked Maxine, she knew that Maxine was an intelligent woman. With her help, James would be able to have breathing room. Besides, she could tell that Maxine had a crush on James. As long as Maxine was able to secure her position as the family head, they should be able to win over many sects and families of the ancient martial world to their side.
“I have something else to deal with. I’ll be taking my leave.”
Thea did not linger for long. She turned and left.
Staring at Thea’s retreating figure, Maxine frowned. ‘What’s going on? Why do I have a feeling that she has changed? She’s no longer the Thea from before.’
Shaking her head, she put her thoughts aside.
Thea left the Cadens.
Then, she headed to a five-star hotel in the Capital and booked a presidential suite. She pulled out her phone and called the God-King Palace’s person in charge of the Capital. After making the call, she waited in the room.
After half an hour, a knock came on the door.
Thea opened the door.
A man was standing outside. He wore a black jacket, a cap, and a black mask.
“Come in.”
Thea walked into the room while the man followed close behind.
In the room, Thea sat on the sofa. Meanwhile, the man stood by her side. Glancing at him, Thea ordered, “Remove your mask.”
