Female Novel
Chapter 273
He rolled over.
Thea had her back to him.
She was wearing a nightgown. However, it was a slip dress. Her fair skin was fully exposed.
James asked, tentatively, “Honey, do you secretly think I’m not worthy of you?”
Thea rolled over.
Their gazes met.
“Nonsense. I’ve never looked down on you.”
James continued, “Do you believe deep down that only someone like the mysterious Mr. Caden is
worthy of you?”
Seeing that he had seen through her, Thea panicked a little.
She hurriedly explained, “N-No such thing. Since I’ve married you, I’m your wife. As long as you don’t
betray me, I’ll never divorce you.”
Hearing this, James was touched.
He could not restrain the urge to kiss her.
Their lips grazed.
“Mhm…”
Thea struggled a little.
However, James did not loosen his grip.
In just a few short seconds, Thea’s cheeks reddened. She reprimanded him. “Are you tired of living?”
James licked his lips and smiled. “I love you, honey.”
Thea blushed and rolled over.
James did not do anything out of bounds.
It was their first time sleeping together after being married for so long.
Tonight, however, was uneventful. They merely fell asleep together. Nothing else happened.
The night passed silently.
Thea woke up early the next day. She changed into professional attire and headed to Pacific Group
without eating her breakfast.
James left the house too.
Thea had ordered him to find a job last night.
He believed it was time to find one. Even if he was not going to work, he should at least hold a nominal
position. That way, outsiders would stop accusing him of leeching off the Callahans, and Thea would
finally be able to lift her head high.
However, what kind of position should he go for?
The vice-president of Transgenerational Group?
The vice-president of Majestic Corporation?novelbin
James was at a loss.
He felt that no one would believe that the son-in-law of the Callahans could be the vice-president of a
large corporation.
Perhaps a bodyguard or a driver sounded more believable.
James went to Common Clinic to discuss the matter with Henry.
Meanwhile, Thea had gone to Pacific Group.
After taking over the company, she focused on straightening out its operations.
Today, while she was inspecting the company’s accounts, she noticed there were still outstanding
debts uncollected.
She picked up the phone and called Larry, the vice-president.
“Come to my office.”
Soon, Larry arrived.
“Ms. Thea, I’m here!”
Thea looked at the accounts and frowned. “Larry, why are there still thirty million worth of debt
uncollected?”
Upon hearing this, Larry winced. “Ms. Thea, the company that owes us is Purity Pharmaceuticals.
We’ve been their main supplier for the first half of the year. After receiving our supplies, however, they
told us something was wrong with our products, and they refused to pay us. We went to the
government seeking help but to no avail. After all, Purity Pharmaceuticals is a powerful and influential
organization.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Thea frowned.
Larry continued, “We hired a lawyer to prosecute them in court, but we lost. Ever since then, our factory
operations have been attacked by unknown persons. Because of that, no corporations would purchase
from us. Without the thirty million, Pacific Group had a liquidity crunch and was almost bankrupt.”
“Alright now, I understand. You may leave.”
“Yes, Ms. Thea.”
Larry turned to leave the office.
With a pen in her hand, Thea spun it on the tips of her fingers.
The thirty million dollars was hard-earned money by Pacific Group. Though Purity Pharmaceuticals
refused to pay, she was still going to get the money back.
At that moment, Thea thought about the mysterious Mr. Caden.
It should not be difficult for him to come forward and get back the money owed.
Immediately, she shook her head.
“Thea Callahan, you have to stop depending on others. Even if you were the one who saved his life,
he’s helped you out plenty of times now. You shouldn’t bother him anymore.”
Thea decided to go to Purity Pharmaceuticals personally. She would find the person in charge and
demand the payment of thirty million dollars.
