Chapter 913

“Ms. Xenos.”

The security guards charging at James halted their steps and greeted Quincy respectfully.

“Go back to work.” Quincy scanned the security guards and ordered them to return to their posts.

“Understood!”

The security guards left.

Quincy looked at James and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be looking for Tiara? Why are you at the

company?”

“I’m here for Thea.”

“Why’re you looking for her?”

“I need to ask her some questions.”

“Alright, I’ll take you to her.”

Quincy took James to an office located on the top floor.

After Thea received James‘ call, she patiently waited for him to arrive. In less than an hour, he showed

up.

“James…” She stood up and greeted him.

James walked toward the office’s lounge area and sat on the sofa. Thea went over and sat down

opposite him, while Quincy also remained in the office.

He took out his phone, opened the surveillance footage sent to him by the Blithe King, and pushed his

phone on the table toward Thea. “Watch it. Tell me, do you know the person in this video?”

Thea picked up the phone with confusion. She looked at the screen and saw Thomas.

Thomas was seen speaking to Tiara, and she followed him into a vehicle for some reason.

Her expression slightly changed, but she forced herself to calm down. After a few seconds, she put

down. the phone and looked at James cluelessly.

“Isn’t this Tiara? I heard from Quincy that Tiara left in the morning. What’s going on here?”

Quincy took the phone and watched the footage.

James asked, “You know I’m not talking about Tiara but Thomas.”

“Who’s Thomas?” Thea asked puzzledly. “I don’t know him.”

“Thea, I need you to be honest with me. Last time in the Capital, were you the masked woman leading

martial artists from the God–King Palace to assist me in killing the Emperor? And did you disguise.

yourself as Maxine to save me from the Johnstons and leave me at the Cadens‘ doorstep?” James

asked with a serious tone.

“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.”

Thea refused to admit it.

Quincy also finished watching the video and put down the phone. She asked puzzledly, “James, what’s

going on? What does this have to do with Thea? Isn’t Thomas your grandfather? Are you saying that

this old man in the video is your grandfather?”

James did not answer Quincy but kept staring intently at Thea.

“You have no idea? Then how did you recognize Maxine at first glance? Is it possible that you’ve

known Thomas for a long time now? Is he the founder of the God–King Palace?” James bombarded

her with questions.

Bang!

He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, “Thea, you better tell me the truth!”

James hit the table with such force that it caused the water glasses on it to topple to the ground. The

glass cups immediately shattered into a pile of glass shards.

Thea was taken aback by his abrupt shouting. She had known James for a long time but had never

seen him lose his temper.

It took several seconds for Thea to recover from her stupefaction. She shook her head and said, “I–I

really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Thea wanted to tell James the truth, but Thomas had repeatedly warned her not to say a word. The

only way to help James live was to help him in secret.

She denied his questions so that James would not die.

Quincy looked at Thea and tried to persuade her. “Thea, I can sense that you’ve changed a lot after

disappearing for a few days. If there’s anything you know, you should tell James about it.
