Female Novel
Chapter 561
Thea shook her head and said, “We’ll talk about it after James’ case is over.”
“Sure, of course.” Gladys stood up and pulled Benjamin away, smiling. “Thea, take a rest. Your father
and I will be at the hospital visiting your brother.”
“Mhm.”
Thea nodded.
After Gladys and Benjamin left, Thea looked at Quincy and sighed in dejection. “Quincy, do you think
I’m too heartless? After all, since he married into the Callahans, he’s worked tirelessly without a single
complaint. Besides, he treats me really well. Now that something’s happened to him, I’m thinking of
divorcing him.”
“I…”
Quincy did not know what to say.
From her perspective, she really hoped for Thea and James to divorce.
However, as Thea’s best friend, she did not wish for them to separate.
“I thought James was an honest and upright man. I don’t mind him spending money on hookers, but did
he have to commit such a crime? I can’t forgive him.” Thea said.
“Mhm.”
As Quincy did not know what to say, she went along with Thea.
In a ward at the city hospital…
David had been admitted to the hospital for a few days.
He had recovered after the surgery. However, he needed time to completely recuperate. He would not
be getting out of the hospital anytime soon.
David was on the bed, while Alyssa took care of him.
At that moment, Gladys and Benjamin walked in, talking and laughing.
David was puzzled. “Mom, what made you so happy?”
“That b*stard James raped a teenage girl and was caught by the police. His trial’s the day after
tomorrow. He’ll be spending the rest of his life in prison. That way, Thea can finally divorce him and
marry a rich guy. Finally, I get to have a decent son-in-law.”
“What?”
David exclaimed with a loud voice.
“James raped a teenage girl? You have to be kidding me. There’s no way he would do such a thing.”
Gladys said, “It’s true. He’s been arrested. Everyone’s talking about it now.”
“Impossible. How could this be?”
David was in disbelief.
James was the Black Dragon, a paramount existence standing at the top of the power pyramid.
He was the guardian of Sol.
How could he have committed such a crime?
“Mom, are you telling me the truth?”
“Of course.” Gladys pulled her phone out and showed David a short clip. “Look! He was recorded by
the reporters. Who is this if not James? Do you see the girl lying on the bed? She’s the rape victim.”
“I…”
David was dumbfounded.
He could not believe it.
Alyssa was gloating, “Thank goodness he’s arrested. Ever since he married into the Callahans, there
has not been a single day of peace.”
“Shut up.” David scolded her, “What do you know? Without James, our family would have been ruined
a long time ago.”
David could not believe it.
He trusted James.novelbin
To be more precise, he trusted the Black Dragon.
There had to be something else going on here.
“Mom, is Thea really going to divorce James?” David asked.
“Of course,” Gladys said. “What? Do you want your sister to wait for him for another twenty years?
Thea’s twenty-eight already. She’ll be almost fifty twenty years later. There’s just no way.”
“Mom, James…” David opened his mouth.
However, he immediately shut it.
James never revealed his identity even after marrying into the Callahans for so long. He must have had
his reasons.
David suppressed the urge to blabber.
He believed James was innocent and would soon be acquitted.
Knowing that James was the Black Dragon, there was nothing he was worried about.
