Chapter 628

“He is Sol‘s hero, and you‘re the number one beauty of Cansington. You two are a match made in

haven. You two would look so good together.”

Thea felt slightly awkward due to their words and hurriedly explained herself, “You‘ve misunderstood.

I‘m just friends with the Black Dragon. I‘m not planning to divorce my husband. My husband used to be

the Black Dragon‘s subordinate, and they had a close friendship.”

James, who heard this while standing beside her, was delighted. Thea‘s thoughts of divorcing him were

gone. As long as he continued to work hard, he would capture Thea‘s heart sooner or later.

After Thea briefly explained, she quickly dragged James away.

Now that she was famous, she would get surrounded by a crowd wherever she went, and these people

would always ask about her relationship with the Black Dragon.

They left the jewelry shop. Thea glanced at him apologetically. “Sorry, James. I actually have nothing to

do with the Black Dragon. It‘s just that after you were detained a few days ago, he helped me acquire

the title of genius doctor this year. Moreover, he already has a girlfriend, Quincy.”

Although Thea was apologizing, James could see the disappointment on her face. He knew that Thea

was still in love with the other James.

However, he did not take it to heart since the other James was his alter ego. Even if she was

emotionally cheating, it was still with him anyway. “It‘s fine. Alright, no more shopping. Let‘s go back

home.” “Okay.”

Thea nodded obediently.

The two returned to the Callahans‘ house together. Gladys and Benjamin had already returned home.

As soon as they got home, Gladys greeted James warmly, serving him tea and desserts.

James was flattered by her behavior.

Gladys served tea and desserts. Then, she glanced at James and asked with a smile, “James, what

happened to Zane‘s gift of half his family assets to you?”

“Huh?”

James was taken aback.

Zane did indeed mention it before.

However, he never took it to heart or brought it up to Zane.

Plus, he was not short on money. Therefore, even if Zane gave it to him, he would not accept it.

“Mom...”

James scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Mr. Dawn wasn‘t serious about it. How could he

possibly give away half of his family assets? Do you know how many assets he has? ‘The minimum

estimation would be about one trillion dollars. Half of that would be five hundred billion dollars. Do you

think it‘s possible for him to simply give away five hundred billion?”

Gladys‘ face darkened instantly.

“James, this is a warning. You can stay with my daughter if you can get half of Zane‘s assets.

Otherwise, divorce my daughter immediately.”

Gladys‘ attitude toward James took a hundred and eighty degrees change.

She accepted James only because of the 500 billion.

James was just a piece of trash to her without the 500 billion.

She did not want her daughter‘s future destroyed because of useless trash. The sooner they

separated, the sooner Thea could pursue the Black Dragon. Even if Thea failed to get together with the

Black Dragon, Gladys was confident in finding a rich husband for Thea.

Thea already knew her mother‘s virtues.

However, she also had her eyes on the 500 billion dollars.

“James, Zane promised it to you. I was there and heard it too. How could a prominent figure like him

make empty promises? Why don‘t you go ask him about it?”.

James looked at Thea helplessly and said, “Darling, would you give half of your lifetime‘s work and

wealth to a stranger if it was you?” Thea was unsatisfied and rebuked, “You saved his daughter! Even if

he doesn‘t give you half of his assets, he would still give you tens of billions if you ask him! The

Callahans are currently short on money, and everyone is scrambling around to borrow some. On top of

that, I‘m currently the famous genius doctor of Cansington! I‘ll also need money to restart the company.

Without money, how are we going to talk about ideals and ambitions?”

James frowned and said grudgingly, “Tens of billions is easy for you to say. Do you think so lightly of

tens of billions?” Bang! Gladys slammed the table and shouted, “James, no matter what, you better get

the money from Zane! I won‘t accept you as my son–in–law if it‘s less than ten billion dollars!”

James glanced at Thea and asked, “Is that your stand too, Thea?”

“I...”

Thea hesitated.

Upon seeing Gladys‘ murderous glares, she took a deep breath and said, “James, the Callahans were

struck by a catastrophe. Without money, it‘ll be impossible to rebuild Eternality. On top of that, Century

shut down right after beginning operations. We really need the money to restart it.”

“Will you divorce me if I don‘t ask Zane for money?”

James fixed his eyes on Thea.

He waited for Thea‘s response. He did not want their relationship to be bound by money.
