Chapter 1061


    After Thea arrived, the three began discussing their n.


    Soon, they were able to iron out the details and start forming a cohesive n.


    After spending an entire afternoon discussing it, the n was tentatively finalized.


    Now, they had to wait for ke’s investigation results and ascertain Mr.Gabriel’s whereabouts.


    Then, after they collected all the information they needed, it would finally be time to put things into


    action.


    "That’s it for now."


    Maxine sighed in relief and said, "Our operation can only seed.


    There isn’t any room for failure.


    The consequences of failure will be extremely lethal."


    James furrowed his brows worriedly as he said, "I still don’t even know what Mr.Gabriel looks like, let


    alone his whereabouts."


    They had everything nned out except for one pretty sizeable bump in the road—who exactly was


    Mr.Gabriel? Maxine closed her eyes to think before she spoke again, "I’ve never seen him before


    either.I think the King might have an idea.You should go and talk to him."


    "Got it.I''ll leave now then."


    James stood up.


    "wait."


    Maxine suddenly remembered something and suddenly grabbed James’ arm to stop him.


    James stopped in his tracks and turned towards her.


    Maxine said, "I don’t think you should rush it.For now, we should do something that will attract their


    attention.It’d be more suspicious if we continued toy low without making any moves.Now that you’ re


    themander of the Red me Army, your inaction will definitely put the enemy on guard.Mr.Gabriel


    will surely be suspicious of you."


    James tilted his head.


    "Then what do you suggest I do?"


    Maxine smiled and said, "Naturally, you should hold a grand session ceremony and announce to


    the entire country that you’ve been appointed as the newmander of the Red me


    Army.Mr.Gabriel will let his guard down thinking that you’re a power-hungry fool.He might even attend


    your session ceremony which will give us a chance to identify him."


    James thought about it and agreed with her suggestion.It would take a few days or even longer for


    them to determine the location of the research facilities.


    Meanwhile, the news of his appointment as the new Emperor had already begun making its way


    around powerful circles internally.


    If he continued to keep it a low profile, it would surely arouse people’s suspicions, and they would


    definitely assume that something is afoot.


    "Alright.I''ll go sort out ns for the ceremony now."


    James walked away briskly.


    After James left, Maxine leaned back on the sofa and looked at Thea.She asked with a disarming


    smile.


    "Thea, how’s your rtionship with James right now?"


    "Great."


    Thea looked at Maxine and said firmly, "We''ll remarry after this whole thing blows over."


    "Is it really great, though? I’m afraid still waters run deep.Don’t you know that Tiara has returned to


    Cansington?"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Maxine continued to smile while eyeing Thea as if she were assessing a threat.


    "I’m aware.So what of it?" Thea replied indifferently.


    "All she has is her good looks and speaking of that, she looks like she’d shatter at the slightest


    touch.How is she any form of viablepetition for me? I control the God-King Pce and can help


    James in battle.Even a blind person would know who’s the better choice." Thea spoke confidently.


    Maxine shook her head and said, "Not necessarily.What if...Tiara’s pregnant?"


    Thea’s eyes widened so much they threatened to pop out of her skull as she stared directly at


    Maxine.She narrowed her eyes and spoke carefully, "What did you just say? How is it possible for her


    to be pregnant?"


    Maxine chucklednguidly and spread her body out on the couch.


    "I''m just saying, what if.I mean, she did have sex with James before, so it’s possible.I just mentioned it


    casually, don’t take it to heart.I’m tired, so I’ll be taking a shower."


    She got up and left.


    Although it was not intentional, Thea was clearly shaken by her words.


    Maxine’s words wed away at Thea’s confidence.


    "Could she really be pregnant? What are the chances..."


    Thea murmured agitatedly.


    If that were the case, then it would drive a wedge in the rtionship Thea had poured so much effort


    into repairing.


    Thea knew the kind of person James was.He was the type that took his responsibilities and obligations


    extremely seriously.


    If Tiara really was pregnant, it would jeopardize Thea’s position.It was entirely possible that James


    would abandon her to take responsibility for Tiara.


    "I can’t let that happen."


    Thea clenched her teeth and bit the tip of her thumb in aggravation.


    James was hers, and no one was allowed to snatch him away.


    As this happened, Maxine walked into the bathroom with a breezy stride.


    On her face was a tiny smile.


    As if she were pleased that everyone seemed to be dancing to her tune.
