Female Novel
Chapter 911
James had no choice but to return home and wait for the news.
He hailed a taxi back to Cynthia’s villa.
Maxine hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the house, “How was it? Did you find her?”
James shook his head. He walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Cynthia also asked, “Did you not find her?”
Maxine had already discharged the excessive Cold Energy in Cynthia’s body, allowing her body
temperature to return to normal for the time being.
Cynthia looked at James worriedly. He took out his phone and opened the surveillance footage sent by
the Blithe King.
Maxine leaned over and took a look. After watching the footage, she asked with concern, “Who’s that
old man? Why did Tiara leave with him?”
James’ expression was bleak.
“Judging from his appearance, it might be my grandfather. However, he was supposed to have died in
the fire ten years ago. I’ve already requested the Blithe King to use his authority to track down the man
in the footage. I’ve also asked the underground intelligence network to investigate his identity.”
“Thomas?” Maxine exclaimed in disbelief and asked, “Did you say he’s your grandfather, Thomas
Caden?”
James nodded, then shook his head again. “Just by his appearance, it does seem to be him. However,
my memory of him is slightly fuzzy since it’s been ten years. I can’t be certain whether it’s him through
the surveillance footage alone.”
Maxine suddenly fell into thought.
With so many things happening recently, Tobias and Maxine had both suspected that Thomas was still
alive.
“James, I think it’s very likely that’s your grandfather.”
James looked at her and asked, “Do you also think it’s my grandfather?”
“Yeah.”
Maxine nodded and said, “There have been a lot of unexpected events recently, especially the sudden
emergence of the God-King Palace. Grandpa couldn’t find out who had been interfering with the overall
situation and could not find any clues. He analyzed and concluded that it was most likely Thomas.
However, there was the premise that Thomas had to be alive. Now that we’ve learned about this man
who looks similar to your grandfather, I think Grandpa must be right.”
She paused and took a deep breath. “If this man in the footage is Thomas, then some of the previous
mysteries could be solved.”
“What mystery?” asked James.
“The Johnstons suddenly kidnaped you, and they demanded the Cadens to come forward to save you.
However, Grandpa never agreed to it. In the end, someone disguised as me rescued you from the
Johnstons and left you at the gate of Caden’s mansion,” Maxine explained.
“So?” James looked at her puzzledly.
Maxine continued, “I’ve been wondering how Thea could immediately recognize me and know about
the details in the Capital. No matter how hard I thought about it, it simply seemed impossible. I finally
came to a realization.”
James’ heart skipped a beat. “A-Are you suggesting that the person who rescued me from the
Johnstons was Thea disguised as you?”
“Yes.” Maxine nodded. “That would be the only way to explain everything. I’m guessing that Theanovelbin
already knows that Thomas is alive. However, this is just my conjecture, and it can’t be proven unless
you confront Thea about it.”
James leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and fell into thought. He harked back to the day when
he killed the Emperor.
The masked woman in a black dress suddenly crossed his mind. At that moment, he did have a feeling
that she resembled Thea.
Moreover, the figure that fought against Hades resembled Thomas from the footage.
After analyzing it for a while, James also was convinced of Maxine’s assumptions.
“I’ll go look for Thea to confirm it.”
James stood up.
“Wait.” Maxine suddenly stopped him.
James looked at her.
Maxine thought for a moment and said, “Even though this person might be your grandfather, I’m afraid
he is scheming something because he refrained from meeting you and caused so many incidents from
the dark. Although I don’t know him, I’ve heard from Grandpa that Thomas is a vile and scheming man.
Rashly approaching Thea about it will only arouse his suspicion.”
“He’s my grandfather, so what if I arouse his suspicion? I believe he won’t cause me any harm.”
James was confident in his grandfather.
