Thea shook her head and said, “We’ll talk about it after James’ case is over.”


    “Sure, of course.” dys stood up and pulled Benjamin away, smiling. “Thea, take a rest. Your father and I will be at the hospital visiting your brother.”


    “Mhm.”


    Thea nodded.


    After dys and Benjamin left, Thea looked at Quincy and sighed in dejection. “Quincy, do you think I’m too heartless? After all, since he married into the Cahans, he’s worked tirelessly without a singleint. Besides, he treats me really well. Now that something’s happened to him, I’m thinking of divorcing him.”


    Quincy did not know what to say.


    From her perspective, she really hoped for Thea and James to divorce.


    However, as Thea’s best friend, she did not wish for them to separate.


    “I thought James was an honest and upright man. I don’t mind him spending money on hookers, but did he have tmit such a crime? I can’t forgive him.” Thea said.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Mhm.”


    As Quincy did not know what to say, she went along with Thea. In a ward at the city hospital…


    David had been admitted to the hospital for a few days.


    He had recovered after the surgery. However, he needed time topletely recuperate. He would not be getting out of the hospital anytime soon.


    David was on the bed, while Alyssa took care of him.


    At that moment, dys and Benjamin walked in, talking andughing. David was puzzled. “Mom, what made you so happy?”


    “That b*stard James raped a teenage girl and was caught by the police. His trial’s the day after tomorrow. He’ll be spending the rest of his life in prison. That way, Thea can finally divorce him and marry a rich guy. Finally, I get to have a decent son-inw.”


    “What?”


    David eximed with a loud voice.


    “James raped a teenage girl? You have to be kidding me. There’s no way he would do such a thing,”


    dys said, “It’s true. He’s been arrested. Everyone’s talking about it now.”


    “Impossible. How could this be?”


    David was in disbelief.


    James was the ck Dragon, a paramount existence standing at the top of the power pyramid.


    He was the guardian of Sol.


    How could he havemitted such a crime?


    “Mom, are you telling me the truth?”


    “Of course.” dys pulled her phone out and showed David a short clip. “Look! He was recorded by the reporters.


    Who is this if not James? Do you see the girl lying on the bed? She’s the rape victim.”


    “I”


    David was dumbfounded.


    He could not believe it.


    Alyssa was gloating, “Thank goodness he’s arrested. Ever since he married into the Cahans, there has not been a single day of peace.” “Shut up.” David scolded her, “What do you know? Without James, our family would have been ruined a long time ago.”


    David could not believe it.


    He trusted James.


    To be more precise, he trusted the ck Dragon. There had to be something else going on here. “Mom, is Thea really going to divorce James?” David asked. “Of course,” dys said. “What? Do you want your sister to wait for him for another twenty years? Thea’s twenty-eight already. She’ll be almost fifty twenty yearster. There’s just noway.”


    “Mom, James…” David opened his mouth. However, he immediately shut it. James never revealed his identity even after marrying into the Cahans for so long. He must have had his reasons.


    David suppressed the urge to bber. He believed James was innocent and would soon be acquitted. Knowing that James was the ck Dragon, there was nothing he was worried about.
