Henry was asleep in a room in Common Clinic.
Sensing movement, he immediately got up and switched on the lights.
He could see James walking in.
“James, what brings you here?”
James looked at Henry dejectedly. “I fought with Thea.”
“Huh? What happened?” Henry was confused.
James deeply sighed.
Henry passed him a cigarette.
James accepted it.
Henry lit the cigarette.
James took a deep breath. “Nothing much. Just a little misunderstanding.”
He recounted what happened to Henry.
“Hahaha!”
Henry could not restrain his laughter. “That’s hilarious! The General of the Southern Plains driven out of the Callahan residence?”
Noticing James’ grim expression, he instantly held his tongue. With a serious look, he said, “James, I can help if you need me to kill someone. But something like this? I’m helpless.”
James lightly waved him off. “I’m not expecting you to help me out. I’ll explain things to Thea when she calms down.”
“You’ll be sleeping here tonight?”
“Yes. We’ll have a good drink while we’re at it.”
They left Common Clinic, and James brought Henry to a barbecue restaurant by the roads. They ordered some lamb kebab and some beer.
At the Callahans, Thea was in tears, crying herself to sleep.
She woke up early the next day.
Having just taken over Eternality Group, she had to attend to important matters. Besides, she needed to prepare the relevant documents for the application to set up shop at the Trade City Center.
The Transgenerational City Center was not open for business investment yet. Even the few large corporations who had set up shop in advance only qualified by a hair’s breadth. Meanwhile, smaller businesses would have to wait for the official opening of the investment project to submit their application letters.
“Thea.”
Gladys approached Thea the moment she stepped out of her room. “Get your divorce with James done as soon as possible. I’ve found you a guy from a rich family. He’s young and wealthy. He’s definitely worthy of you. If you think I have bad taste, look for one yourself. Bryan from the Gourmand’s a pretty good pick.”
“We’ll see.”
Thea was absent-minded.
She wanted to go to the company.
But before she went, she needed to go to the Department of Civil Affairs to deal with the divorce proceedings with James.
On the way there, she called James.
James got dead drunk last night.
He was still sleeping when his phone rang.
With his eyes closed, he searched for his phone by the bed and answered the call. “W-Who’s this?”
