Chapter 368
It only took two hours for James to go out and return home.
Thea still had not woken up from her nap.
James entered the house and smoked a cigarette in the living room.
He checked the time and noticed that Thea had slept for quite a while. He got off his seat and went intothe room.
Thea was lying on the bed wearing a thin dress. Perhaps because of the heat, the neckline of her dresswas wide open, and her bra had slipped off, revealing a clear view of her cleavage.
James almost had a nosebleed. He gently shook Thea awake.
“Darling, time to get up and study.”
Thea opened her eyes in confusion, and the first thing she saw was her husband’s familiar face. In hergroggy state, she got out of bed and straightened her messy clothes. She blushed after realizing herbra had nearly slipped off.

James chuckled.
“W-What’s so funny?” Thea raised her head and rolled her eyes at James.
“You’ve got a really great figure, Darling. I could barely hold myself back from taking you into my arms,”James sincerely ad?nitted.
Thea’s pretty face turned even redder.
She quickly got up and went to the bathroom to hide her embarrassment. She washed her face andfreshened up.
Then, Thea returned to the room.
Her head spun at the sight of the thick books on introductory medicine on the desk.
“Honey, there’s only a few more days before the medical conference. What could I possibly learn inthese few days?” Thea had no confidence at all.
“You should still try your best. It’s better to have some knowledge than nothing at all.” Thea sighed.
Her confidence was shattered.
How was she supposed to outdo experienced medical practitioners who have had decades ofexperience under their belt with just a few days of studying? How could that be possible? On top ofthat, her company was struggling to stay afloat. It just killed any motivation she had to study.
“Honey, I-I don’t want to do this anymore. Since you’re so talented, why don’t you just participate andget first place in my stead?” Thea looked at James with pleading eyes.
James frowned.
What was the point of him wanting to teach her if he wanted to win in the first place?
“Alright.”
Seeing Thea’s expectant expression, he could not bear to refuse.
Thea sighed in relief, “Then, I won’t have to memorize these anymore! I’ve got a headache just lookingat these human meridians and acupuncture points.”
“What’s the reward if I win first place?” James smiled teasingly at her.
“W-What kind of reward did you want?” Thea blushed.
Her flushed face was irresistible to James.
“T-The thing you promised before.”
“Alright, n-no big deal!”
“Are you going to give me a little taste of my reward?” James asked coyly.
Thea raised her head and pecked James on his cheeks.
“T-That doesn’t count! “Right here.” James pointed at his mouth. Thea rolled her eyes, stood up, andwalked out of the room, leaving James with the sight of her proud back moving away from him.
James touched his cheeks, where she kissed and grinned like a schoolboy. He followed her out of theroom.
They were alone at home.
Thea had been worried about the company’s affairs and kept spacing out.
“Darling, I’m going to the company to check on the situation.”
“Alright.” novelbin
James nodded.
He had not responded to the threat made by Oceanic Commerce toward Thea’s company. He was justwaiting for the right moment.
Also, he had a plan in mind.
A plan to support Thea to the top.
First, the genius doctor title had to be won to make a name for the company. Then, the company couldbe reopened. It would no longer be a manufacturing company but one that researched and producedits own medicine. This would force other companies to compete with each other in a bid to get their
supply from Century Group. Since Thea went to the company, James had nothing to do. So, he wentback to sleep in the room.
Meanwhile, in an underground casino in Cansington. David was dressed in a simple short-sleeved shirtpaired with a Rolex watch and gold necklace. He wrapped his arms around a voluptuous woman andmade huge bets. “F*ck, what terrible luck,” David whined.
In the blink of an eye, he had lost millions of dollars.
He stood up and was about to leave. “Don’t go, David.” The voluptuous woman pulled on David andcaressed her body on him. “Play a few more games, David. You can’t be unlucky forever. You mightstrike gold in the next couple of rounds,” the woman purred persuasively.
“Forget it. I’m done.”
David still had some sense left in him. He wanted to leave. He would lose everything if he continued.
“Haha! I won thirty million in one round!”
