Chapter 137


    However, the more they denied it, the wilder the rumors that spread outside.


    Lex noticed the countless eyes watching them and felt embarrassed because even he thought Thea


    was sleeping with Alex. Despite thea being the reason the Celestial Group agreed to cooperate with


    the Cahans, Lex cared more about his name.


    “You-you have no shame!” Lex’s face darkened. “Grandpa, i-it’s not like that!” “Then, exin where you


    got the money to buy the outfit if it wasn’t because you slept with Alex?” Tommy stood up and shouted.


    “I-I…” Thea felt so wronged and was on the verge of tears She never slept with Alex,


    However, she did not know how to exin the situation.


    The money came from James, but she did not know where he got it from, and if she told them, there


    might be grave consequences. It was possible that James would have to go to jail.


    James, concentrating on his game in the corner, heard themotion. He stood up and realized it was


    the Cahans.


    He hurriedly walked over, saw tears in Thea’s eyes, and asked, “What happened, Thea?” Tommy


    sneered, “You don’t even know your wife slept with another man again? She’s wearing branded clothes


    that cost more than hundreds of thousands. Tsk, tsk! The chairman of Celestial Group sure is


    generous!”


    James’ face darkened.


    Sensing that James was about tounch at Tommy, Thea immediately grabbed him in time and said,


    “Let’s just go, James.”


    She was unsure how to exin herself and refused to embarrass herself by staying any longer. Many


    people gathered around them and began to mock her. “Why isn’t Thea exining herself?”


    “The rumors must be true. She definitely slept with Alex more than once.”


    “That’s why she can’t exin herself.” “Well, she’s a beauty, so it’s no surprise Alex would be attracted


    to her.”


    The unpleasant chatter surrounded them, and Lex was embarrassed.


    Thump! Tex mmed his hands on the table and abruptly stood up. He reprimanded her saying, “Thea,


    how can you be so shameless? You’re such an einbarrassnient to the Cahans.”


    Thea did not exin that she wronged and immediately dragged James, wanting to flee the


    scene.


    Unexpectedly, James stood firmly, and she could not pull him away. James looked at those surrounding


    them and coldly demanded, “Those who gossiped about Thea just now, move forward and get on your


    knees to repent for your actions. Otherwise, don’t me me for the consequences.”


    “Haha!” Tommy was the first to burst outughing.


    “Who are you kidding, James? What consequences? Who do you think you are, the Blithe King? Why


    don’t you go ahead and show me the consequences?” “Pfft! You’re so shameless! You even framed my


    husband, saying that we got an invitation from the Blithe King because of you. It’s obvious that my


    husband was the reason we got invited. Our admission was denied because the authorities were


    unhappy with us being too high-profile and setting off firecrackers outside the military region. You sure


    know how to steal credit,” Megan also sneered condescendingly.


    “Come forward, kneel and apologize.” James wore a terrifying expression as he nced at everyone.


    “Haha, I would love to see what you can do to me. I agree that thea slept with Alex. So, what are you


    going to do? It’s the truth. Am I not allowed to tell the truth?” Luke stepped forward and fueled the fire.


    “Who’s spouting nonsense?!” A stern voice resonated.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Then, a man in his fifties walked into the hall.


    Everyone trembled as the man approached.


    A-Alex…


    “Who was gossiping about Ms. Thea?”


    Another voice sounded, and a handsome man followed behind Alex.


    It was the owner of the Gourmand, Bryan from the Graysons of the Capital.


    Those who said a word about Thea bettere out to kneel and apologize. Otherwise…” Yuna also


    stood up and said coldly.


    “How presumptuous! Who dares to spout such nonsense?!” Outside the door, another voice could be


    heard. Immediately, an older man in his bos appeared. Despite his wrinkled appearance, he walked in


    energetically, dressed in a ck suit. “D-Dr. Fallon?” Everyone was shocked by the person


    approaching.


    James also heard the uproar and looked over.


    He subconsciously frowned.


    ‘How could Jake Graham be Dr. Fallon? The Jay Fallon that Thea had mentioned?”
