Chapter 75

“Thank you.”

“Oh yeah. Thea, I heard that your husband is Lex’s handpicked candidate. He’s an orphan and a

retired soldier. Why are you with him? You could definitely do better than him. Why not consider a

successful young man who’s wealthy?”

As he said that, Hank straightened up. “I know someone. He’s young, already a manager at a big

organization with a monthly income of fifty thousand dollars. He has a house and a car. Why don’t you

divorce James? My friend would be good for you!”

The friend he was talking about was himself.

However, he was smart enough not to make it so obvious.

He was testing Thea.

Thea felt warm. She pulled her shirt up slightly and fanned herself.

Noticing Hank’s perverted gaze, she blushed. Looking away, she said in a small voice, “Sorry, Hank.

I’m feeling a little warm.”

“It’s not warm. The AC is on.”

Hank took the opportunity to sit down beside Thea. He touched her forehead. “Do you have a fever?”

Thea avoided his touch, twisting away from him. “Hank, about the job?”

“There’s no rush…”

Just then, Thea felt dizzy.

Her body was burning up.

Could the water…

She knew that something was wrong. Standing up, she said, “Hank, please excuse me. Where’s the

bathroom?”

“I have one in my office.” Hank pointed to a door.

Thea had no choice. She quickly stood up.

As soon as she stood, she felt dizzy, almost toppling onto the couch.

Hank caught her just in time. Faking concern, he asked, “Thea, are you alright?”

“I-I’m not sure. I feel slightly dizzy. Let me go to the bathroom and freshen up.”

Thea shook her head slightly and stood up again. Even as everything spun, she went to the bathroom

and locked the door behind her. Quickly, she called James.

James was on the way back when he answered the phone.

“Jamie, I-I might have been drugged. I… I’m at the human resources manager’s office at Ella

Corporation. Pl-please come quickly. I-I’m feeling hot…”

Thea called James from Hank’s bathroom.

After she hung up, the world spun. She could no longer keep her eyes open. She was so sleepy.

She turned on the tap and kept splashing her face with water. That kept her alert.

James was furious.

How dare anyone go after his wife?

He dumped his electric motorcycle and rushed to the middle of the road, flagging down a car by the

roadside.

The driver braked, tires screeching. Black smoke billowed due to the friction. The driver looked at

James and wound down the window. Viciously, he yelled, “What the f*ck?”

James approached, opened the door forcefully, and threw the driver out. Then, he raced to Ella

Corporation at top speed.

James was so worried about Thea that he did not notice there was a girl in the back seat.

She was so terrified she did not even say a word.

James was too intimidating. She was sweating all over.

Ella Corporation. The human resources manager’s office.

Hank had removed his shirt, revealing his muscles. Looking at the bathroom door, he licked his lips,

smirking. “The most beautiful woman in Cansington. I get to enjoy you today.”

As for the consequences?

He had given it some thought.

Based on what he knew, Thea had been cast out of the family. She was no longer part of thenovelbin

Callahans. Otherwise, she would not be looking for a job.

As for her husband James, he had done something stupid by borrowing the car. Once the important

person returned, he would be dead.

There was nothing to fear. Furthermore, he would be recording the whole thing. Thea would never say

a word.

“I’m coming for you, Thea.”
