Chapter 401


    The Cahans gathered.


    “Thea, have you thought of anything yet? The court’s summon is already here, and the trial will begin


    tomorrow morning. The Xenoses are getting the money back via legal means.” David wore a worried


    expression.


    Thea had been out for the whole day. He wondered if she had gotten the money.

    Thea’s face was pale.


    Her exquisite face was devoid of emotions. Like an emotionless robot, she sat there unmoving.


    m!


    At that moment, the Cahans’ front door was kicked open. Maximus along with his men stormed into


    the house. Appalled, the Cahans stood up. Maximus brought his men in and sat on the sofa.


    Meanwhile, the Cahans stood by the side with horrified expressions.


    Maximus nced at them and said with a mischievous grin, “You’ve prepared the money?”


    Thud!


    David knelt on the floor immediately and pleaded, “Please, give me a few more days! My sister has


    been trying to get money by sleeping with rich men. I’ll get the money soon.”


    Thea wore a nk expression. She was utterly disappointed in her family.

    “Take him.”


    Maximus ordered his men.


    His men approached David and forcibly grabbed him.


    “Mom, Thea, dad… Save me…”


    David cried out. “Thea, think of something. Quick!” dys panicked. “Think of something? What can I


    do?” Thea shook her head. She was at her wit’s end. Maximus stood up and said coldly, “I’ll give you


    one more day, Thea. If I don’t see the money by tomorrow, prepare to collect this guy’s corpse. After


    you’ve prepared the money,e and find me at Osmanthus Vi.”


    As he said that, he turned to leave.


    “Dad, mom, Thea… I don’t wanna die…” David was forcibly dragged out of the Cahan residence.


    He wailed.


    The rest of the Cahans did not dare go against Maximus. Thea’s eyes were brimming with tears. The


    tears flowed down her cheeks.


    “Think of something, Thea. Even if David did do something wrong, he’s still your brother.”


    “That’s right. Hurry up and think of a solution.”


    “Thea, I beg you. I don’t want my child to be fatherless.”


    They surrounded Thea and pleaded. Seeing their tearful expressions, Thea breathed a deep sigh and


    said, “Don’t worry. I’lle up with something.”


    Saying that, she returned to her room. In her room, she hid under the nket and burst into tears. She


    cried her eyes out. The night silently passed.


    Thea went to court the next day. She did not get herself awyer as she knew she had no chance of


    winning.


    As expected, she lost the case.


    To get back the money, the court froze all of her assets and even prepared to auction away the vi


    James had given her. They also ordered her to gather the money owed as soon as possible.


    The money was not the main problem. She would be able to get it bit by bit.


    The real problem was Maximus.


    Maximus was a vicious and cold-blooded man. If she could not pay on time, David would be dead.


    Dismayed, Thea walked out of the courtroom. Though the sun was bright, she felt her life was bleak.


    ‘D-Do I really need Zavier’s help to get through this?’ She was unwilling to sumb to her fate. She


    pulled out her phone and called James. “Hey, honey. What’s wrong?” Hearing his voice, Thea covered


    her mouth and tried her best not to sob. This would not have happened if her husband was a rich and


    influential man. What a shame that he was a good-for-nothing man. “I-It’s nothing.” She hung up the


    call.


    James was lying on the bed in a military base in the Southern ins.


    Scratching his nose, he murmured, “Huh… How weird.”
