Chapter 706

James raised his hand to stop Thea.

“S–Sorry…”

With an apologetic look on her wretched face, Thea apologized profusely, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for

getting you involved.”

“Send her back to Cansington, Henry.”

James spoke with great difficulty.

“I…”

Upon hearing this, Thea cried out.

Her eyes brimming with years, she looked at James pleadingly. “How can I leave knowing that you’re in

such a state? Please let me stay. I can take care of you.”

“Umm…”

Henry was caught between a rock and a hard place.

James glanced at Thea.

Thea’s hair was disheveled. Her face was full of her own scratches. In addition to her previous injuries

which had yet to recover from, she looked a little.

frightening.

Her pitiful expression broke James‘ heart.

However, James no longer owed Thea anything.

He did not wish to have anything to do with this woman anymore. Besides, before the revolution, he

could not have any emotional entanglements with any women. Otherwise, they would once again be

used by his enemies against him.

“Do as I say,” James uttered.

Henry looked at Thea and pleaded, “Please follow me, Thea. Please don’t make this difficult for me.”

With a tearful expression, Thea asked, “Why, James? Why? Why are you doing

this to me? Is this because of Quincy?”

“I need rest!”

James cried out.

However, his cry was feeble.

A few men walked over to him.

James ordered, “Help me up.”

“James…”

Thea cried out.

However, James had left.

“Sob…”

Thea burst into tears.

Henry said in resignation, “Let’s go, Thea.”

Thea knew. From the moment she received the 10 billion dollars from James… From the moment she

divorced him, she had completely lost him. She thought that James still had feelings for her. However,

she did not expect James to be this

heartless.

She ran out, sobbing.

Henry followed close behind.

He then personally arranged for a private plane to send Thea back to Cansington.

Near the private plane.

Henry could not help but ask, “What happened, Thea? What’s wrong with James? Something’s not

quite right with him. He seems to be severely weakened.”

“Sob…”

Thea burst into tears once more.

“Stop crying! Please tell me.”

“Th–They abducted me and used me to blackmail James…”

Tearfully, she narrated the chain of events.

“What?!”

Henry exclaimed, “Are you saying that the muscles all over James‘ body will shrivel to the point where

he can no longer stand?”

Thea sobbed. “Y–Yes… That was what the one who poisoned him said. I–I don’t know anything else.”

Henry’s expression hardened.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, “Alright now, I understand. I will find the one who

poisoned James. There’s nowhere for him to hide.”

Thea slowly got on the private plane.

Henry watched her get on the private plane and left.

He wore a grim expression.

“Seal off the city. Do not let a single fly pass through. Mobilize the army and search the border. Do not

let him escape!”
