Chapter 526

James knew that Thea would get mad.

“Darling, let me explain.”

“What else is there to explain? Why don’t you buy a house if you’ve got millions? Do you want to live

with my parents for the rest of your life? James, what else more do I have to say about you?”

“I-I didn’t spend that much. Don’t listen to their nonsense. The truth is I sought out a hacker and hacked

the Doctor App to modify the data secretly.”

“Are you seriously still trying to lie to me? Do you take me for a fool?”

“Okay, I’ll confess. I did spend some money. I spent a few million, but what is a few million? You’re

priceless to me. No matter how much I spend on you, it makes me happy.”

“Where did the money come from?” Thea asked aggressively.

“My own,” James said while giggling.

“Stop laughing. Be serious.”

James immediately went silent.

“I’ll ask one more time. Where did the money come from? Did you do something illegal?” asked Thea.

James was troubled by her question.

His money really did not come from proper channels.

“H-Henry lent it to me. Henry’s family had a house built about ten years ago on a large private property

with mountains and forests. They were compensated more than one hundred million for land

acquisition. I only borrowed a few million from him.”

Thea was exasperated.

She was mad that James had borrowed so much money without telling her.

“Don’t worry, Darling. I’ll soon be making lots of money. I’ll definitely make sure you live a good life.

Trust me. After all these things are over, we will have a sensational wedding that will shake the world,

and you will be the happiest woman in this world!”

“Ha,” Thea sighed.

They were already in massive debt because of Century Group’s bankruptcy.

Fortunately, Eternality was doing better. They could revitalize the company with some money and get it

back on the right track.

Moreover, Thea’s shares in Eternatlity had not been stripped from her. As long as Eternality was

stabilized, she could receive quite a considerable amount of dividends and pay off the debts as soon as

possible.novelbin

“Alright. You rest a bit more. You’ll have to go to the company in the afternoon. I’ll clean up the dishes.”

Thea was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

She understood that James wanted to make her happy.

However, he paid a high price for it.

“It’s alright, darling. I’ll do it. You go and rest.”

James pushed Thea back to their room.

Afterward, she returned to the living room and cleaned the dishes.

It was already one in the afternoon after he finished cleaning up.

He went back to the room and informed Thea before heading out.

He drove to the suburb repair shop, the base of Jake’s underground intelligence network.

Just when Thea was about to nap, she received a call from Quincy.

“Thea, are you free this afternoon?”

“Uhm, yeah. What’s up?”

“I’m not busy today and want to go shopping for new clothes. You want to come with me?”

“Sure.”

After agreeing to meet Quincy, Thea dressed up and headed out.

Soon, she arrived at the place agreed with Quincy.

The two entered the mall hand in hand.

“Thea, how did you and James meet? Tell me about it,” Quincy inquired.

“Me and James?” Thea was taken aback by the question.

She shook her head and answered, “There’s not much to it.”

“Tell me, tell me.” Quincy shook Thea’s arm.

“Fine.”

Thea explained helplessly.

“My grandfather recruited a husband for me. James came to apply for it and was selected by my

grandfather. Thus, I married him.”

“That’s it?” Quincy was surprised.

“Yeah, that’s it.”

Quincy frowned and thought to herself for a while. Then, she asked again, “By the way, do you sense

anything special about him?”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean by special?” Thea looked at Quincy and asked.

“N-Nothing.”

Quincy did not ask any more questions.

‘It seems Thea isn’t aware of James’ identity. Thea is his wife, so why is he hiding it from her?’ thought

Quincy.
