Ch. 551..560
Chapter 551
“I‘m waiting for you. I called Thea and told her we‘d be having a meeting tonight, so there‘s no use going home so soon. Come to my place. I‘m alone.” Quincy deliberately crossed her long, slender legs, showing them off.
“I‘m not interested.”
James turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, “Remember to lock the door when you leave.”
Quincy sat on the office chair and watched as James left. She pouted her lips and smiled.
Even that didn‘t work? As expected of the Black Dragon, he has the ability to resist the greatest of temptations.”
“James.”
As soon as James left the office, he saw Scarlett. James glanced at her and said, “Who gave you the permission to let Quincy enter? She‘s only the vice president and isn‘t allowed to enter the chairman‘s office. A company must follow its rules and regulations if it wants to succeed. Do I need to teach you every simple, little thing?” Scarlett was not expecting James to scold her. “J– James, she said she was your ex–girlfriend, and I... I didn‘t dare to stop her,” Scarlett explained. “Don‘t let her overstep her boundaries again.”
James turned and left.
Quincy had gone too far. What she had done had exceeded her authority.
“Understood,” Scarlett replied.
Quincy finally came out after James had gone far.
Scarlett glared at her.
Before she could speak, Quincy interrupted and said, “Save it. I know my boundaries, and I won‘t do it again.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Scarlett was perplexed. She was the nominal chairman of the Transgenerational Group, and Quincy was the vice president. How was it that she felt the roles were reversed?
She rubbed her nose.
“I‘ve no idea what James is thinking,” Scarlett mumbled. Scarlett did not doubt that Quincy was James‘ ex girlfriend, James would not have arranged for Quincy to be the vice president if she was not his ex girlfriend.
She was confused about Quincy and James‘ current relationship.
Upon leaving the building, James did not go home.
Instead, he went to the military hospital to visit Henry.
Henry‘s body had recovered quickly, and he could now get out of bed to walk.
When he entered the ward, he saw Whitney propping Henry up while helping him walk around slowly.
Henry had his hands on Whitney‘s shoulder. Meanwhile, Whitney‘s hands were wrapped around his waist. The two looked as if they were in an intimate relationship.
Watching the two, James could not help but smile. “Congratulations, Henry,” said James.
Henry raised his head and saw James approaching. He asked, “Congratulations? Congratulations on what? I‘m not discharged yet.”
“Congratulations on finding a girlfriend and ridding yourself of your status as a bachelor.” Henry‘s face flushed red.
Since his skin was tan, it was hard to tell whenever he blushed.
“What do you mean by girlfriend, James? You‘re overthinking it! I felt bad for him since he had no one to take care of him, so I came to help him.” Whitney pouted.
James sat down, picked up an apple on the table, wiped it on his clothes, and bit down on it.
“Young lady, let me tell you, Henry is a really decent person. He‘s loyal and honest and has never been in a relationship in all of his life. He doesn‘t know how to please women, so you have to be more straightforward with him if you want to date him.”
Whitney helped Henry sit down.
Henry said embarrassedly, “James, stop making fun of me. It‘s not what you think.”
“By the way...”
James chewed on the apple and turned to Whitney to ask, “What‘s the relationship between you and the Centurian, Walker?”
James had long suspected Whitney‘s identity.
However, he had never asked,
Whitney was surprised,
James glanced at her and said, “There are five commanders in Sol, the Black Dragon of the Southern Plains, the Centurion of the North, the Blithe King of the West, the Barbarian King of the East, and the Emperor of the Capital. You can’t tell me you’re unrelated to the Centurion of the North.”
“Hmm?”
Henry also looked at Whitney.
Whitney fixed her long hair and smiled. “James, how did you know I was related to the Centurian of the North? James nibbled on the apple and replied, “The Blithe King asked for a document to let Henry become an instructor. You immediately recognized that the document was from the military. Plus, you‘re highly skilled in martial arts. Although I‘ve never seen you in action, you mentioned knowing martial arts the last time we went to Purity Pharmaceuticals. I also recognized a few techniques from your attacks.” “That‘s all?” Whitney was surprised. “I‘ve gone against the Centurian before. I know his martial arts techniques. Plus, your surname is Walker. Did you think I‘d let someone with an unknown background get so close to Henry, not to mention how I‘ve let you in on so many things?”
Chapter 552
Whitney did not expect James to be so capable. He had already seen through her identity.
“Tell us about it.” James looked at her.
Although he suspected Whitney‘s identity, he kept it a secret for a while and observed her because he was unsure of her motives for approaching Henry or himself.
Now, it seemed that this woman did not have ill intentions toward Henry but rather seemed interested in him. Thus, he simply poked through her identity.
“He‘s my father.”
Whitney did not hide it. She smiled mischievously and replied, “To be honest, I secretly snuck out from home. The Northern Border is too boring, so I came to Cansington.” Henry was stunned to learn of her identity.
This woman was the daughter of one of the Five Commanders.
“Not bad.”
James smiled brightly and glanced at Henry. “Henry, you better seize your chances. The daughter of a commander must have countless wealthy suitors wanting to marry her.” “Cough, cough...” Henry smiled awkwardly “Fine. I won‘t tease you anymore. I‘m heading off.” James stood up and was about to leave. “James,” Henry called out and glanced at him pleadingly. James immediately understood and threw him a cigarette. After thinking for a moment, he felt that one was not enough. He knew that Henry had a cigarette addiction and would have at least two packs daily. He threw all the cigarettes he had and a lighter to Henry. Whitney took it and said sternly, “No smoking.”
“James, do something about this girl. She won‘t even let me smoke and is trying to kill me. Could you get me a nurse instead?” Henry looked frustrated. These few days, he was about to suffocate from the withdrawal symptoms. He was looking forward to seeing James so he could get some cigarettes.
James said with a smile, “Don‘t worry too much, Whitney. It‘s normal for men to smoke and drink Henry only smokes. He doesn‘t touch anything else. You‘ll be taking away his only entertainment if you don‘t let him smoke.”
“James, it‘s not that I don‘t want him to smoke, it‘s that he‘s injured right now.” James shrugged helplessly and turned to leave the ward. “Woman, I’ll have just one! Just one!” Henry pleaded with Whitney. “What? What did you just call me?” Whitney‘s face darkened immediately, “Ms. Walker, Ms. Beautiful.”
Ultimately, Whitney gave him one, seeing that he looked incredibly pitiful and addicted to smoking At the same time, in a villa in Cansington.
Two people sat on the living room sofa.
A man in his 50s dressed in casual clothes and with a long beard was present. He was Jonathan Harris, Gensinton‘s National Doctor‘s Association president.
Opposite him sat an older man with a wrinkled face. His eyes were saggy, and his eyes were cloudy. He looked like a debilitated old man on the verge of death.
He was Lucas, the founder of Universal Hospital. “Mr. Hamilton, the Black Dragon has cured the poison. He also escaped and survived last night. You have to find a way to prevent him from appearing at the medical conference. Otherwise, it would destroy our plan.”
A gleam of light flashed in Lucas‘ turbid eyes, and he glanced at Jonathan.
“Jonathan, James‘ medical skills are the best in the world. Isn‘t it your wish to compete with him? The medical conference is a good opportunity. Jay isn‘t considered the real genius doctor. Only by defeating James will you be considered the best doctor in the world.” “That‘s true, but we have to look at the bigger picture.”
Jonathan eagerly wanted to learn from James. However, this matter was important, and he understood his priorities. Lucas waved his hands and said, “Don‘t worry. I‘ve already made the appropriate arrangements. James won‘t make it to the medical conference.”
Jonathan was relieved by Lucas‘ reassuring words.
After James left the hospital, he returned to the Callahans.
As soon as he entered the house, he overheard Gladys scolding Thea.
Thea had a weak personality and had always remained silent when her family members scolded her.
“Thea, it‘s not that I want to scold you. However, the Callahans are in a dire situațion right now. James borrowed several million dollars. How is he going to repay the money? The money isn’t linked to us. Divorce him before the debt collectors come looking for us. You‘re still young and beautiful. You can always marry another wealthy man, and the Callahans will be able to start over again.”
Thea was dispirited
It was not something new for Gladys to look down on James.
“Mom, James is working hard, Can‘t you give him some more time?”
“What’s the use of working? What‘s the use of a few thousand dollars salary monthly? Is it enough to support you? It‘s not even enough for you to buy a new set of cosmetics.” James opened the door and entered just in time to hear her belittling him.
He rubbed his nose and walked over with a bright smile. “Dad, Mom, Thea.” “Hmph! “Don‘t call me mom! I don‘t have a son–in–law like you!” Gladys shouted. “James, this is just the way my mom is. Don‘t take it to heart.” Thea looked apologetic. James smiled and said nothing. Thea was worried that Gladys would scold James again, so she quickly dragged him back into the room.
“I‘m so pissed! You‘ve no conscience at all! All my efforts to raise you for more than twenty years were for nothing!” Gladys scolded.
In the room.
Chapter 553
Thea reprimanded, "James if you want to do anything in the future, you have to discuss it with me.Don’t make decisions on your own, okay?"
"Yes."
James reassured her, "Darling, I’ll definitely discuss everything with you in the future! I ran around the whole day today and am exhausted.My back is also sore.Help me massage my shoulders, Darling."
Thea also knew that being a salesman was tiring, especially one of a big company.She walked over and massaged James’ shoulders.
"Wow.It feels good!"
James looked satisfied.
James did not go out at night and stayed home.
The next day.
"Thea, let’s go for a walk at Medical Street.Today’s the last day of the Medical Street consultations."
"I don’t want to," Thea snorted.
"Do you know what people are saying about me now? They’re saying I’m a fool and idiot for spending money to increase my ratings.I don’t want to go out and embarrass myself.I’d rather stay home instead of listening to their mockery."
"Alright.Then, I’m going for a walk."
James had nothing to do at home.
Thus, he decided to go out.He did not drive.
Medical Street was lively, and the nearby parking spaces were always full.
Therefore, it would be impossible to find a parking slot.
It would be better if he took a taxi there.He walked out of the house to the road outside.He happened to see a taxi parked at the side of the road.He walked to the taxi and opened the door to get in.
The driver was a middle-aged man wearing a hat, making it hard to see his face.
"Young man, where are you headed?" the driver asked.
"Medical Street."
"Alright." The driver quickly started the car.
At that moment, James smelled something unusual and sensed something was wrong.
Although the smell was faint and difficult for an ordinary person to detect, he was a doctor and very sensitive to medicinal smells.
He held his breath, but it was too late.He felt dizzy and fainted instantly.
“Hmph."
The driver took off his hat, glanced at James, who had passed out, and smiled.
"Black Dragon, even if your medical skills are unmatched in the world, this is a drug carefully prepared by the God of Medicine. Even if an elephant inhaled just a small amount of it, it’d be lethargic for several days."
The driver quickly drove off with the unconscious James.
Soon, he arrived at a villa.
A few people came and carried the unconscious James out of the car into the villa.
There were many people in the villa.
Jonathan and Lucas were also present.
Jonathan laughed out loud at the unconscious James being carried into the villa.
"Mr.Hamilton, your medicine really works wonders.James passed out as soon as he got into the car even though he has a strong physique."
"Of course."
Lucas wore a proud expression.
The drugs he created were extraordinary.
"Pll kill him."
Jonathan pulled out a gun.
"What are you doing? Do you want to cause trouble for yourself? We're in Cansington, not the border of the Southern Plains.It'll be investigated thoroughly if he dies in Cansington, and none of us will be spared."
Jonathan hesitated and reluctantly put away his gun.
"Why did we go through so much to get him here if we’re not going to kill him?"
Lucas glanced at James on the ground, and he smiled slyly.
"The boss will do the job of killing him.Our goal isn't to kill him but to keep him from attending the medical conference.
Jonathan glanced at Lucas and asked, "What’s your plan, Mr.Hamilton?"
"This brat is unconscious right now, but his physique is incredibly strong.After ten years of continuous training, his body has extraordinary self-healing abilities.Soon, his body will self- regulate and expel the toxins from his body.There’s no antidote if others were to inhale it.They would be unconscious for three days.But, James would probably wake up in two hours.However, that won't matter."
Lucas snapped his fingers.
Soon, a man in a doctor’s uniform walked in.
The man took out a syringe and injected a colorful liquid into James ’ body.
Jonathan gave a thumbs up.
"Mr.Hamilton sure is wise.James would sleep for a few days, and the medical conference would be over when he wakes up."
"You're a bit off with your guess."
Lucas waved his hand.
"He has a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers around him and has also recruited a lot of powerful subordinates.They would soon look for him after noticing he’s gone missing.What I injected into him was not a drug but an aphrodisiac.The only thing that can trap him now is the police.His powerful subordinates wouldn’t be able to do anything if the police detained him."
After explaining, Lucas ordered, "Take him to a hotel and arrange a woman for him."
"Understood."
A few subordinates quickly carried James away.
Chapter 554
After James was carried away, Jonathan asked, “Mr. Hamilton, let me into your plans.”
Jonathan was from abroad and not Cansington.
His power and influence were present abroad. He came to Cansington as a visitor and did not participate in the planning of these schemes. Thus, the plans were all formulated by Lucas.
He did not know anything about Lucas‘ plans.
Lucas caressed his white beard and said with a smile, “James has been affected by the drugs I‘ve formulated. As soon as he wakes up, his desires will be heightened. No matter how great his endurance is, he won‘t be able to control himself. I‘ve prepared a woman in advance. As soon as news of him sleeping with her gets out, he‘ll be detained for the crime of adultery. Even if he gets released, our plane will have already succeeded by the time he‘s out.” Hearing this, Jonathan frowned. The plane was good but not perfect! He would have killed James if given the power.
He had been well prepared at Mt. Thunder Pass but still failed to kill James. This was the best chance he had to kill him, but Lucas refused to do so.
“Mr. Hamilton, are you sure this will work? Who is this woman? What if she stands on James‘ side and speaks for him after the incident? The police won‘t be able to do anything if that happens.”
“Don‘t worry. This woman comes from a very conservative and traditional family with a certain influence. After her father learns that a man has tainted his daughter, he would definitely be furious and send James to prison. This would be enough to bring James down for now.”
Hearing this, Jonathan sighed in relief. James was in a daze. After being injected with drugs, he was taken to the hotel.
Not long after, a woman was brought in.
The woman was in her twenties, dressed in a white dress, and had long black hair. Her facial features were delicate, and she had fair skin. She was gorgeous. At that moment, she was unconscious.
James woke up after being unconscious for an hour or two. As soon as he woke up, he sensed that something was wrong. His whole body felt hot, and he felt a strong desire in his heart. At this moment, he really wanted to relieve himself. It felt like he would explode and die if he did not satisfy his desires immediately. “Ugh.”
He became dizzy as the desire intensified.
He covered his head with his hands, and his eyes were bloodshot, which made him look like a mad beast as he roared.
He saw a woman lying beside the bed.
The woman was lying in bed quietly.
She slept soundly and had a serene expression on her beautiful face.
She was wearing a skirt. While asleep, her skirt slipped up to her thighs and revealed her slender and fair legs. At the same time, her cleavage was slightly exposed.
This greatly stimulated James.
As if he had gone insane, James pulled off the woman‘s dress.
Soon, she was stripped naked.
The intense pain awakened the unconscious woman.
She felt someone pressing on her. She cried out in panic.
However, no matter how much she cried out, she could not stop James. James had lost control and could not hear the woman‘s cries. He was strong, and the woman could not resist him.
The room was a mess.
The drugs in James‘ body slowly subsided over time.
He gradually regained his senses.
“Sobs...”
The woman shrank into a ball and sobbed.
James had regained his senses. He saw everything in the room and immediately understood what had happened. He was flustered.
He frowned and wore a serious expression.
He slapped his forehead, “James, James! Why were you so careless?” At this moment, the hotel door was kicked open, and a group of policemen rushed into the room
“Raise your hands above your heads and don‘t move!” Facing the police’s stern shouts and the muzzles pointed at him, James raised his hands over his head and did not inove.
Several policewomen rushed over quickly, took their clothes, and covered the woman huddled on the bed.
Chapter 555
"Tiara! Tiara..."
A middle-aged man rushed in.
Seeing the woman, his face was full of anger.He rushed toward James, who had his hands on his head and cursed at him furiously, "B*stard! You beast..."
He swung his fists and legs at him.
James did not resist.He had not recollected his thoughts yet.He was thinking about who set this up to frame him.
What did the other party want to do? The other party could take this opportunity to kill him, but they chose not to.
Instead, they went through so much trouble just to execute this plan.
The police rushed in, and many reporters followed suit to take pictures of the room.
"Don’t film it! Stop filming!!!"
Several polices promptly blocked the reporters.
The middle-aged man beat James and ordered, "Stop the reporters quickly! Don't allow them to report this, or my daughter’s life will be over!"
The middle-aged man was Zigmund Youngblood.
Zigmund was a famous painter and had a certain reputation around the world.He was a guest at this year’s medical conference.He brought his daughter, Tiara Youngblood to Cansington.
However, his daughter did not come home at night, so he called the police.He had no idea why the media was at the scene.
The scene was being broadcasted live by the media.
"Fellow audiences, the famous painter Zigmund Youngblood reported his daughter was missing last night.Today, the media received news and rushed to the hotel but found this scene.The painter, Zigmund’s daughter, was taken advantage of, and this man is the suspect."
"Don’t film! Stop filming!!!"
Zigmund kept shouting and preventing the media from filming.
At the same time, he ordered the police, "Get them out of here! Quick!"
The reporters were chased out.
Faced with the guns, James took a deep breath and glanced at the furious Zigmund.He said calmly, "Do you believe I was framed?"
"Son of a b*tch!"
As soon as James spoke, Zigmund was infuriated again.He rushed over and punched James.
However, this punch did not cause any damage to James.
Zigmund cursed, "B*stard! My daughter is only nineteen.How could you do this to her? I will sue you! I want you to spend the rest of your life in prison!"
James was helpless.
As of now, he had no excuses.He was taken away by the police.
Police station, interrogation room.
"Your name, gender, and age."
Faced with the furious policewoman, James replied calmly, "James Caden, twenty-eight years old."
"Gender!"
"Officer, do you need to ask? Can't you see for yourself?"
Slam! The policewoman slammed the table and said furiously, "Listen to my instructions! Answer whatever I ask you."
James said helplessly, "Male."
"How did you kidnap Tiara Youngblood? How did you avoid the surveillance and bring her to the hotel?"
"Officer, I was framed.You have to investigate this thoroughly."
"Framed? We caught you red-handed.Your fingerprints and lip marks were all over her body.We found your sperm in her body.Even if you do not admit it, this evidence is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in prison.
James knew that he was not in a good situation.
"I won't say anything until my lawyer comes."
After James finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
At the same time, Thea had learned about the incident.
Someone had informed her about it.
Initially, she did not believe it.
However, she fainted from anger upon watching the videos online.
They were videos taken by the reporters showing James being grabbed and held at gunpoint in the hotel room with a woman in his bed.
Fortunately, she was at home, and Gladys woke her up.
Chapter 556
The Callahans’ house.
“No, it‘s not true. I don‘t believe it. This can‘t be true. How could James do such a thing?”
Thea believed James
James had never forced himself on her ever since their marriage.
Even when the two of them slept together, James never touched her without her consent.
How could someone who did not even touch his wife mess around outside?
“Thea, don‘t be naive. It was reported on the news. Look how clear the video is. Who else could this be if not James? Look at the woman on the bed. How can this be fake? I told you James wasn‘t a good person and to divorce him a long time ago, but you wouldn’t listen to me.”
Although something had happened to James, Gladys was not worried about their family becoming a laughing stock.
Instead, she was rather happy. Such a big thing happened to James, and he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Finally, Thea could divorce him. “There must be a misunderstanding here. I have to go to the police station.” Thea stood up and left.
“Thea...”
Gladys shouted but did not stop Thea. “It‘s best for her to go and see for herself. Only then will she completely give up on him,” Gladys murmured.
Thea went to the police station.
“James is a criminal suspect, and there‘s conclusive evidence against him. Before he‘s convicted in court, he isn‘t allowed to see anyone else except his lawyers.”
Thea wanted to see James but was stopped by the police.
She had no idea what else she could do.
Pulling out her phone, she called Quincy. “Quincy, something happened. Something bad happened to James. Sobs...”
Quincy was at work and did not have the time to watch the news. She was completely unaware of what had happened to James. “Thea, don‘t cry. What happened to James? Could you explain slowly?”
“J-James sexually assaulted a young girl and got caught in the act! The police detained him, and I’m not allowed to see him.”
“What?”
Quincy exclaimed upon hearing the news. She stood up abruptly and asked in disbelief, “Did
you just say James sexually assaulted a girl? How‘s that possible?”
“I–It‘s real. It‘s all over the news right now. What should I do? Come quickly.”
“D–Don‘t worry. I‘ll be there immediately.”
Quincy hung up the phone. She took a deep breath.
This was absolutely impossible. Even she could not seduce James. How was it possible for James to do such a thing?
After forcibly calming down, she left the office and went to look for Scarlett.
“Chairman, something‘s happened to James. Do you know about it?”
“Yeah, I heard about it. I‘ve contacted a lawyer, and she‘s on the way to the police station. The lawyer will update me.” Scarlett nodded.
“I‘ll go to the police station to check.” Scarlett waved her hand. “Go ahead.”
Quincy did not stay any longer and hurried off to the police station.
Police station entrance. Thea paced around anxiously.
She watched the video as she walked around. She hoped it was not real, but the video captured the scene.
The incident caused an uproar in Cansington. Netizens had identified James, and the comments online ridiculed him. Seeing Quincy approaching, Thea hurriedly walked to her with tears on her pretty face. “Quincy, what should I do? There must be some misunderstanding here. How could James do such a thing?”
“Don‘t worry. Let‘s go in to ask about the situation.”
Quincy took Thea to the police station.
Quincy reported her identity as the vice president of the Transgenerational Group, and the police explained the matter in detail to her.
After learning what had happened, Quincy frowned. Thea seemed to have lost all energy and slumped on a chair with a darkened expression,
She completely trusted James However, judging by the current situation, James was indeed guilty Soon, the lawyer met up with James and learned about the details.
Outside the police station
Quincy glanced at the lawyer.
The lawyer was a woman in her thirties and looked incredibly sexy.
Quincy asked, “Ms. Zinn, what‘s the situation? What did James tell you? What happened?”
Thea was also anxious but still had a glimmer of hope. She sensed that there must be something behind the whole situation. She glanced at the lawyer and waited for an answer. “Ms. Xenos, the current situation is very unfavorable to James. Although James said he was drugged after getting into a car in the morning and claimed not to know what happened next, these are all his one–sided words. There isn‘t any evidence to support his words. On top of that, Tiara was covered with his fingerprints and lip marks. “The evidence is conclusive, and Mr. Youngblood has filed a charge against James. The police have submitted a series of criminal evidence to the court, which will be held in two days. Once the court is held, the probability of James being sentenced is a hundred percent.“
Chapter 557
Thea was startled and asked, "T-then, what should we do?"
The lawyer shook her head slightly and said, "T-There isn’t anything we can do now.I’m not sure about winning this lawsuit.There is only one thing we can do right now, and that is to get them to drop the case against James so he can avoid imprisonment."Quincy frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "I see.You may head back first."
"Alright, Ms.Xenos."
The lawyer turned around and left.
"What should we do now, Quincy? I believe James.What he said must be the truth.He must’ve been framed."
Quincy said helplessly, "I also believe James.However, all the evidence isn’t looking good for him."
"Then, what should we do next?"
"We should head back for now.I’m sure it’l] be fine."
Quincy took Thea and left.
James was not an ordinary person.He was the boss of the Transgenerational Group.
Since there was no evidence to get him out, they could only try to reach a settlement.
James could only get Scarlett to reach out to Zigmund.
Custody room.
James was lying on the wooden bed and thinking about the situation.
‘Could it be that the people who drugged me and framed me are trying to stop me from participating in the medical conference? What are they trying to do during the medical conference?" James murmured.
He had an intuition that he was most likely correct.
‘Since that’s the case, I'd like to see what you guys are trying to do."
He stood up, walked toward the door, and knocked.
Then, he shouted, "Anyone? Is anyone around? I need to make a phone call."
Soon, a policeman walked over and reprimanded, "Why are you yelling? Be quiet.You’ve no right to make any calls right now."
"Sir, you better be careful with how you talk to me.Do you know who I am? Do you know who I’m trying to call? Well, I can give you the number, and you can make the call for me.How about that?"
"Pfft.You’re just the son-in-law of the Callahans.Do you think I’m afraid of you? Your life is over.You’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison."
"Sir, please just make a phone call for me.I need to call the Blithe King."
"The Blithe King? Who do you think you are, brat? Do you expect me to trust you just because you say you’re calling the Blithe King?"
"Call it if you don't believe me.I’ll pass you the number."
"Sure, give me the number.I want to see who you are to call the Blithe King."
James gave him the number.
The policeman took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
The Blithe King’s personal phone rang, but it was an unknown number.
After hesitating, he answered as not many people knew his private number.
"Hello, who’s this?"
The policeman could not help but laugh after he heard a voice through the phone.
"There’s a prisoner here that claims he wants to call the Blithe King.Are you the Blithe King?"
"That’s right.I’m the Blithe King."
"Huh?" The policeman was stunned.
‘Is this really the Blithe King?’
"What prisoner? Is it James?"
The Blithe King frowned.He was the Blithe King and immediately learned of James’ news.He had already heard that James had committed a crime, but he ignored it because he believed that James could easily resolve it by himself.
"y-Yeah, it’s James," the policeman replied.
James waved to the police.
"That’s enough.Bring the phone over.l talk to him."
"Okay."
When the policeman learned that it was really the Blithe King, he did not dare oppose James and quickly handed the phone over to him.
Upon getting the phone, James said, "Come to the police station immediately.I’ve something to discuss with you.Be here within an hour.Otherwise, something severe is gonna happen."
After James finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The Blithe King frowned.
"Something serious? Isn’t he being framed for committing adultery? What can happen?" he murmured.
He knew James’ character.He also knew what people James had with him.
James was in control of the underground intelligence network and could easily find out who had framed him.
At most, he would be locked up for a few days, so what could possibly happen? However, James said it was severe, and the Blithe King dared not take it lightly.
He immediately got up and ordered, "Prepare the car."
The Blithe King arrived at the police station very soon.
The Blithe King was a commander with great authority.It was easy for him to see James.
In the custody room.
The Blithe King took out a cigarette and lighter and handed them to James.
James took them, lit the cigarette, and took a big puff.
He praised, "Blithe King, you sure are a good and righteous friend.You came immediately after learning that something happened to your friend."
"Cut the nonsense.What’s the matter?"
James said nonchalantly, "It’s not a big deal.I just need you to secretly get me out of here using your connections."
"James, you’re asking to break the law.You can handle such trivial matters yourself."
"Blithe King, something’s about to happen.Immediately find a stand-in for me and quietly sneak me out of here," James said seriously.
Chapter 558
The Blithe King did not know James‘ plans, but he still decided to help.
“Okay, I‘ll take you away first.” James waved his hands. “I told you to find me a stand–in for me. I can‘t leave so openly. Find someone who‘s about the same height and has a similar physique as me. After I sneak out, I‘ll make a human mask, and you have to secretly bring him back into the custody room.
The Blithe King asked with a frown, “What are you trying to do?”
“You don‘t need to know.“.
“Alright.” The Blithe King nodded.
He quickly made arrangements.
He found someone of a similar height from the army and sneaked James out.
James started to make the human mask for the substitute to take his place and sneak into the police custody room.
James made another human mask for himself.
He could not appear at the medical conference in his real appearance.
Since he could not show up with his real face, he would change it. He made a human mask that resembled him ten years ago, the chairman of the Majestic Corporation, James Caden.
At the same time.
In a hotel in Cansington.
Inside the presidential suite. A young girl huddled on a sofa. Her face and eyes were blank, seemingly void of all life and energy The girl was Tiara, the victim of the scandal in the morning.
Zigmund was also in the hotel room.
Seeing his daughter’s state, Zigmund grew worried.
He comforted her, “Tiara, don‘t worry. I won‘t let that b*stard go so easily. I want him to spend the rest of his life in prison.” Two women were sitting beside him. They were Quincy and Thea. Seeing the victim’s state, Thea could not imagine what James had done for her to become like this.
“Tiara, could there be any misunderstanding? I know my husband very well. He would never…Enough!”
Zigmund stood up, pointed to the door, and chased them away. “Get out of here. You’re not welcome here.”
Quincy stood up promptly and persuaded, “Mr. Youngblood, please calm down. No one wished for such things to happen. However, what‘s done is done. We have to find out the truth and ensure those responsible for this get punished.”
“What more truth do you need? Things have already come to this, yet you still want to defend that b*stard? I only let you in here because you‘re women. Get out of here immediately.”
Zigmund started to chase them out again.
Quincy and Thea were kicked out of the hotel room.
Outside the door.
Thea burst into tears.
Quincy took her hand and comforted her. “Don‘t worry. We‘ll think of something else. Let‘s go back and rest. We‘ll wait for news from the lawyer.”
Quincy brought Thea back home. They had gone to Zigmund to convince him to drop the case against James. However, they failed to do so. After Quincy and Thea left, Zigmund‘s assistant walked in and reported respectfully, “Mr. Youngblood, Ms. Brooks, the chairman of the Transgenerational Group, is here to visit you.”
“Hmm?”
Zigmund was slightly taken aback. The chairman of the Transgenerational Group, Scarlett? He had nothing to do with Scarlett nor the Transgerneratonal Group, so he was confused about why she would visit.
She was a prominent figure, and Zigmund dared not mistreat her. He immediately instructed, “Invite her in.”
“Alright.”
The assistant left and quickly returned with Scarlett.
Scarlett was wearing a white dress. She was slender and exuded an outstanding aura. She walked in carrying some gifts. Zigmund quickly invited Scarlett to sit down. Then, he asked, “Ms. Brooks, is there a reason you came to see me?”
Scarlett put down the gifts and sat down on the sofa. “I heard something happened to Tiara, so I came to visit.”
Zigmund was perplexed. He was not acquainted with Scarlett, but the dignified chairman of the Transgenerational Group with a net worth of billions had come to visit his daughter. After slightly being stunned, he replied gratefully, “Thank you for visiting Tiara, Ms. Brooks.”
Chapter 559
Scarlett waved her hands and said immediately, "Mr.Zigmund, I heard about what happened to Tiara.Could there be a misunderstanding?"
Zigmund’s face darkened, and he replied instantly, "Ms.Brooks, are you here to speak for James?"
Scarlett did not deny it and nodded lightly.
"Mr.Zigmund, there’s something you probably aren't aware of.James is the real boss of the Transgenerational Group.He has a net worth of several trillion.There are countless beautiful women around him.As long as he wanted, endless women would be willing to jump into his bed.Moreover, he already has a beautiful wife.I simply can’t believe my boss would commit sexual assault."
"The real boss of the Transgenerational Group?"
Zigmund was shocked by James’ identity.
He did not expect the man who defiled his daughter to have such an influential background, "Yes.
"There must be some sort of misunderstanding.According to my boss’ personality, he would never do such a thing."
Scarlett nodded confidently.
Zigmund was slightly taken aback by James’ identity.
Soon, he recollected himself and said coldly, "Never judge a book by its cover.Who knows what you rich people are thinking? Perhaps he wanted the thrill of it.Because he has money, he thinks he can do whatever he wants and settle everything with money.I’m not going to forgive him.Never.
James defiled my daughter, and I will sue him so he spends the rest of his life in prison!
"Name your price."
Scarlett had consulter the lawyer, and she knew that the situation was disadvantageous against James, considering all the evidence.
"How much to drop the case?"
Scarlett glanced at Zigmund and asked.
"That will never happen! Never! Get out of here!"
Zigmund was furious.
He stood up and shouted as he pointed to the door, "Get out of here!"
Scarlett frowned.
‘Are there still people who aren’t tempted by money?’ Thought Scarlett.
"How about a hundred million?" Scarlett asked again.
She had investigated Zigmund before coming to see him.
Although he was a somewhat famous painter, he was not very wealthy.
One hundred million dollars was a lot of money to him.
"Get out."
"One billion?"
"I said get out!"
"Ten billion?"
"Anna, get her out of here."
Zigmund was unmoved.He would not budge even when Scarlett offered ten billion dollars.
The assistant came in and made a gesture for her to leave.
"Ms.Brooks, please don’t make things hard for us.Please leave."
Scarlett took a deep breath.
Settling the matter through Zigmund was not going to work.She had to come up with another way.She got up, glanced at Zigmund, and said, "I believe you aren’t a fool.
Think about it carefully and analyze the situation.
Do you think my boss has a reason to rape your daughter with his current worth?"
Leaving behind those few words, Scarlett turned and left.
Scarlett’s words echoed in his mind.She was right.
James was the real boss behind the Transgenerational Group.
With his net worth, money was just numbers to him.He did not have a reason to rape his daughter.
However, his heart ached when he saw his daughter’s blank gaze.
Although he did not believe James had a reason to do it, he trusted his eyes.
What he saw was the truth.
"Don’t worry, Tiara.I’ll surely seek justice for you.No matter how strong his background, he will go to jail."
"Dad..."
Tiara raised her head and glanced at Zigmund with tears in her eyes.
"Tiara."
Zigmund walked over.
Tiara leaned into his arms and burst into tears.
"What should I do now, Dad? How will I face others in the future? Sobs..."
"Tiara, I'll surely get justice for you and put that bad man behind bars.The court hearing will be held in two days.Can you take the stand to testify against James in court? I won’t force you if you don’t want to appear in court.The evidence I’ve collected is enough to send him to jail."
"I don’t know.I don’t know..."
Tiara’s mind was a mess.She could not forget about what happened in the morning.She shouted helplessly and screamed in pain.
However, no matter how much she pleaded, the man refused to stop.
She no longer wanted to live and thought of death.
Perhaps, only dying could relieve her pain.
Chapter 560
In the past two days, the Callahans had become a hot topic online again. The first hot topic was Thea from the Callahans. She had no medical skills but became a doctor under Century Hospital and used millions to place number one during the medical conference.
Thea gained a bad reputation because of this.
She was called shameless and a fool with money.
Before this news subsided, a new hot topic came up.
It was the news of Thea‘s husband, James.
Every online forum discussed the incident. [Die, rapist!)
(Such a despicable person should be made a eunuch!) (Shooting such a person one hundred times wouldn‘t even be enough.) [This was bound to happen. James married the Callahans and has no status in the family. I heard he doesn‘t even sleep with Thea. He simply guards his wife like a precious treasure but doesn‘t touch her. Because of this, he could not resist it anymore and ended up committing the crime.]
On the internet, many people berated James.
At the Callahans‘ house.
Thea sat on the sofa, frustrated.
As James‘ wife, she was naturally concerned about the development of this matter. Seeing the comments online, she blamed herself for the incident.
She felt like it was her fault.
James would not have committed such a crime outside if she had let him touch her sooner.
She felt it was her responsibility. At that moment, she completely believed James was guilty. All the shreds of evidence pointed to James.
James said he was in a daze and had no idea what happened.
Initially, she believed him, but after seeing Tiara‘s state, she thought about it carefully and felt that James was making an excuse for his crime.
“Thea, why are you hesitating? Why are you still waiting for a rapist? James is a criminal now. You can file for a divorce,” Gladys persuaded Thea. “Quincy.” Thea glanced at Quincy.
James‘ imprisonment was something inevitable.
Moreover, the incident aroused a wave of public anger. James would have to spend the rest of his life in prison. Thea refused to wait for him forever. It was best to divorce him as soon as possible and remarry. Quincy frowned and asked, “Do you really believe James would do such a thing?”
“I don‘t believe it, but it‘s the truth. It‘s my fault. I‘m his wife, but I didn‘t let him touch me. He’s a man and has needs. In the end, he went down the wrong road.” Thea sighed. “What?”
Quincy‘s eyes widened in shock. Although there were rumors outside, Quincy did not believe them. From her point of view, James and Thea were a very loving couple. She could not believe that such a loving couple had not done the deed before. Sigh. Thea sighed again. She blamed herself for what had happened.
“Now that things have come to this point, James will surely be imprisoned. His crime is serious, and he would be locked up for at least twenty years. I can‘t waste twenty years waiting for him.” 1
“So, are you going to divorce him?” Quincy glanced at Thea. “Yeah.”
Thea nodded slightly.
Quincy opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words. She changed her mind and said, “I support your decision.” Quincy supported Thea divorcing James because of her own selfish intentions.
After the two got divorced, she would finally get the chance to pursue James openly without feeling guilty. Gladys smiled. “That‘s right, Thea. What kind of men are you interested in? I‘ll set you up.”
