Female Novel
Chapter 169
At that point, she had already fallen in love with James. She had decided that he would be the only
man in her life.
She never expected him to fool around with another woman so soon, not to mention the woman was
her cousin.
“Let’s…”
She wanted to ask for a divorce, but the words were stuck in her throat.
“Darling, what are you trying to say?”
“N-Nothing.”
Thea could not bring herself to say those words.
She was no longer motivated to write the application for setting up a shop, so she got on the bed and
slept.
The night passed silently.
The next day.
After changing into professional business attire, Thea set out for Eternality Group early in the morning.
James had nothing planned, so he slept in until ten o’clock in the morning.
A lot had happened in Cansington lately.
Warren Xavier, the late head of the Xaviers and one of The Great Four, had died. The downfall of the
Xaviers came, and they fell from grace.
The heads of the Frasiers, the Wilsons, and the Zimmermans were all dead.
The succession of the Blithe King followed suit.
Next, a mysterious tycoon bought the Trade City Center.
Just as people were in a heated discussion, the Callahans dropped a bombshell today.
Though the Callahans were a second-rate family, they had been stealing the limelight recently.
The first time was when Thea had called Alex Yates, which brought about the bankruptcy of the
Xaviers.
The second time was when Lex forged an invitation letter to the Blithe King’s succession ceremony.
Moreover, just this morning, at Eternality Group of the Callahans, Lex Callahan personally showed up
to a press conference. He declared Thea Callahan to be the official executive chairman of the Group
and that she would hold fifty percent of the family’s shares.
At the press conference, Lex emphasized furthering the cooperation between Eternality and Celestial
Group and brought up the relationship between Thea and Ms. Lawson of Longevity Pharmaceuticals.
He even described the image of the powerful men kneeling before Thea at Yuna’s birthday banquet.
With the holding of the press conference, the Callahans have once again appeared before the masses.
Following that, Lex extended an invitation to all people from all walks of life to his eightieth birthday
banquet, which would be held at Cansington Hotel in two days.
For a moment, the Callahans were the talk of the street.
People talked about how Thea was now the leader of the Callahans. With her connections, the rise of
the Callahans was now within sight.
Thea was famous once more.
James, as husband of Thea, naturally became a topic of discussion as well.
He was branded as an incompetent husband and a useless man.
Upon waking up, James got out of bed, tidied up the mat, and walked out of the room.
Having received their shares yesterday, the family had gone out for a celebration.
Only Xara remained. She was on the sofa scrolling through her phone, looking for job openings on
company websites.
She had wanted to work in Eternality. However, she felt uncomfortable working in her relative’s
company.novelbin
Upon seeing James walking out of the room, she put her phone down immediately. “James, come and
help me find a job.”
As Thea was not around, James casually lit a cigarette. He headed toward Xara and sat on the sofa.
Glancing at her, he said coolly, “Go to a job fair if you’re looking for a job. Why are you asking me for
help?”
She took a seat beside James and hugged his arm, playing a coquette. “You’re influential, after all. I
would be able to find a decent job if you helped me out.”
The two were so close that their bodies seemed to mash together.
Xara’s chest was protruding out, and she was deliberately rubbing her breasts against James’ body.
Unable to withstand her flirting, James moved to leave.
Just then, the door opened.
David and Alyssa walked in. Upon seeing the scene on the sofa, they were stunned.
