With a grim expression, she took a seat.
James noticed the displeasure on Thea’s face and hurriedly explained, ”Thea, don’t listen to David.Nothing’s going on between us. Yes, she was holding my arm, but she was only asking me to find her ajob. We weren’t making out.”
“Yes,” Xara hurriedly added. “That’s what really happened, Thea.”
David sprang to his feet. “Looking for a job? Who do you think you are, the chairman of the company?Thea is the chairman of Eternality. Xara should be approaching her for help, not you.”
Gladys was sullen. “Xara, I won’t be telling your father about this. It’d be bad if rumors were to spreadand ruin the good name of the Hills. James, you have to divorce Thea. The Callahans could neveraccept such a shameless son-in-law like you.” “That’s right. Get a divorce.” Alyssa joined in. Thea felther head spin. A divorce?

‘If David had not gotten back in time…’
Thea could not hold back her tears. She looked James in the eye, eyes full of tears. Thea’s tearfulexpression on her face tugged at James’ heartstrings. He hurriedly asked,” Thea, do you not trustme?”
Thea wept. “I trust you, James. But I trust what I’ve seen more. I saw everything last night. I saw howintimate you two were by the stairs and how you embraced each other. All men make mistakes, so Iwanted to give you a chance. But, this is how you repay me? This is my home! How could you makeout with another woman in my home?!” Thea wailed, unable to suppress her emotions. Last night?James remembered. Xara was hugging his arm last night.
It turned out Thea had witnessed everything. No wonder she looked as if there was something on hermind.
However, he was innocent. “Divorce.”
“You have to divorce him.”
“This trash has been leeching off our family. To think he would even make out with another womanbehind my sister’s back.”
“Besides, how could you be this shameless, Xara? Thea’s your cousin!”
