Chapter 403
“Understood.”
His men went to the basement and brought the badly injured David up. Zavier stood up and said, “You may get the money from the Watson residence. I’ll take him from here. I hope that’s fine with you.”
“Not a problem. I trust you.”
“Need an IOU?”
Maximus handed an IOU to Zavier. Zavier then handed it to Thea.
Thea said gratefully, “T-Thank you.”
Zavier lightly waved. “Drop the formalities. We’re gonna be a family soon. Quick, bring your brother to the hospital. I’ll be making the arrangements. Let’s get engaged tomorrow.”
“Ah? S-So soon?” Thea was stunned. She then said, “I-I haven’t divorced James yet.”
Zavier smiled. “It’s alright. You can divorce him after we get engaged.”
Zavier wanted to tell her that James was the Black Dragon and had died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass. However, after brief contemplation, he chose to remain silent.
Thea would soon be his woman. He did not want her to feel miserable.
Thea fell silent.
After a long while, she nodded. “Alright, then. See you tomorrow.”
She had no other choice. Zavier had been of great help. Not to mention that he was a good candidate for marriage.
She brought the severely injured David to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Zavier returned home and prepared the necessary arrangements for the wedding.
As David’s injuries were mild, there was no need for him to be admitted to the hospital. After getting some medicine, they returned home. At the Callahans’… Thea told her family about the incident with Zavier. “What?!”
Gladys exclaimed with a bright smile on her face, “You should’ve done this earlier! You should’ve divorced James and gotten together with Mr. Watson long ago! Things are looking up now, aren’t they?”
Wearing a smug look, David leaned on the sofa and said, “It’s all thanks to me, Thea. If not for me, there’s no way you would’ve cozied up with such a rich man like Mr. Watson. The Watsons are worth hundreds of billions. No matter how you look at it, James is a hundred light-years away from him.”
