Chapter 109

“How dare you…”

James was about to go berserk. Thea grabbed hold of him immediately. “Alright, let’s go.”

She was familiar with his temper by now. He even beat someone up during a family meeting.

If she did not stop him, this matter would get blown out of proportion.

Those in the military were so hot-tempered.

James did not lash out as Thea had a hold on him.

Both of them walked toward the entrance.

“Thea, is that you?”

A woman at the entrance was staring at Thea in surprise.

“Hmm?”

Thea turned, noticing a woman about twenty-seven or -eight years old.

She was wearing a long, blue dress and clutching a Chanel bag. Gold earrings dripped from her ears, a

crystal necklace sparkled at her neck, and a gold bangle flashed on her arm.

Decked out in gold and silver, she looked beautiful and elegant.

She was on the arm of a man in his thirties. He wore branded clothing from head to toe, looking

powerful and important.

“W-who are you?” Thea could not recognize her.

“Thea, it’s you!” The woman in the jewelry and blue dress approached, smiling. “Have you forgotten?

I’m Xena Ferguson!”

“Oh, it’s you, Xena!’ Thea finally remembered a Xena Ferguson in her class back in university.

“Thea, I’ve heard that you recovered your looks. Now, you’re the most beautiful woman in Cansington.

Also, did your family pick a husband for you?”

“That’s right.”

Thea pulled James to her, making the introductions. “This is my husband, James.”

Xena grabbed the handsome man next to her as well. “This is my husband, Zach Smith. The Smiths

are only second to The Great Four in Cansington.”

Zach stared at Thea.

Thea was now famous in Cansington.

She was once the ugliest woman, but she was the most beautiful woman now.

It was such a drastic change that everyone knew about it.

Seeing Thea, his expression turned greedy.

He then turned his gaze onto James, who was wearing plain clothes. Zach’s expression turned

mocking. “Thea, the Callahans are quite an important family. How did you end up marrying this piece of

trash? There are still some eligible bachelors in my family. Why don’t you divorce him? I’ll introduce you

to someone in my family.”

Zach stared at Thea, planning to have her himself.

He said he would introduce her to an eligible bachelor in his family, but he wanted her for himself.

“Thanks, Mr. Smith.” Thea smiled, pulling James away.novelbin

“Hey Thea, are you shopping for new clothes for Yuna’s birthday party?” Xena grabbed Thea.

“What?” Thea looked at Xena, asking, “Why?”

When she was at school, she was shunned in class. She was never close with her classmates.

What was going on now? Why did they suddenly have so much to say?

“Thea, I heard that you’ve been cast out of the Callahans. How can you still afford such expensive

clothes?”

Thea’s expression darkened.

She might have been simple-minded, but she knew that Xena was making fun of her.

She ignored Xena, not wanting to argue with someone so snobbish.

“Oh, important guests! Please, come in!”

Just then, the salesperson who snubbed Thea earlier on approached them.

Seeing as Xena was decked out in jewelry and carried a purse worth thousands, the salesperson

bowed as if he was welcoming God himself. It was so different from how he treated Thea.

Xena lifted her head and looped her arm through Zach’s, walking over proudly.

She even glanced back at Thea, smiling. “Thea, it’s Yuna, Ms. Lawson’s birthday party tomorrow. Look

at how shabbily you’re dressed. I think you better not go and embarrass yourself. Furthermore, the

Callahans are now the laughing stock of Cansington. Who fakes an invitation to attend the Blithe King’s

succession ceremony? What a joke.”

“You…”

Thea was shaking in anger.

Next to her, James said. “See, I told you we shouldn’t leave. We have the money to pay.”

“What?”

James’ words caught her attention. She burst out laughing. “You’re just a soldier. How much money do

you have? Can you even afford the clothes here?”
