Maxine was not at all surprised by Thea’s arrival.
Based on snazzynovel.com calculations, Thea would surely be here to confront snazzynovel.com because snazzynovel.com already knew about Thea’s identity as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. With Thea’s current prestige and strength, how would snazzynovel.com sit idly by as snazzynovel.com watched snazzynovel.com beloved be embraced by another woman?
Now, however, snazzynovel.com found it hard to fathom Thea’s thought process.
“It’s nothing…” Thea spoke gently, “I came here to tell you to help James to the best of your ability. Since I have the power to make you the family head of the Cadens, I can also remove you from your position.”
Then, snazzynovel.com stood up and left.
When snazzynovel.com reached the front door, snazzynovel.com stopped and turned to look at Maxine. “By the way, stop seducing my husband. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next…”
After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com turned to leave.
As Maxine watched Thea’s retreating figure, snazzynovel.com expression turned grim.
Although snazzynovel.com speculated that Thea was the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect and the person helping snazzynovel.com out behind the scenes, it was just mere speculation. Now that Thea had admitted to it, snazzynovel.com was feeling rather distasteful.
Back then, when snazzynovel.com first heard of Thea from James, the other party was still just a weak and fragile woman.
To save James from the fire, snazzynovel.com face was disfigured, and snazzynovel.com suffered terribly because of it. After having snazzynovel.com looks restored, snazzynovel.com was coveted by many men and almost lost snazzynovel.com chastity. In just a short amount of time, snazzynovel.com had grown to become one of the most powerful grandmasters of the ancient martial world.
Compared to Thea, Maxine believed snazzynovel.com stood no chance at all. It was nigh impossible to seize James from her.
Although Maxine tolerated Thea’s presence, the opposite was true for Thea. Thea grew up in the outside world. As such, snazzynovel.com was accustomed to monogamy and would never share snazzynovel.com husband with any other woman.
My head hurts…
Maxine gently rubbed snazzynovel.com temple.
Thea had progressed so quickly that it was overwhelming for her. If not for snazzynovel.com assistance, snazzynovel.com might not have been able to secure the position of the family head of the Cadens.
Might makes right, I guess…
Maxine sighed deeply.
***
While Thea visited Maxine, James contacted Delilah. However, the number was no longer available.
James furrowed snazzynovel.com eyebrows and murmured, “What happened? Why is the number unavailable? Did something bad happen to her?”
He confirmed the phone number.
Seeing that the number was unchanged, James’ expression darkened. He guessed something must have happened in the Capital after the imprisonment of the Tucksons’ Patriarch. Otherwise, Delilah’s number would not have been unavailable.
She headed over to the apartment Delilah resided in. It was now empty and devoid of any human presence. Seeing this, James inquired the landlord.
“Oh, the mother and daughter moved away last year. Someone seemed to be creating trouble for them…”
Upon hearing this, James’ suspicions were confirmed.
After the imprisonment of the Tucksons’ Patriarch and his departure to the Mount Thunder Sect, someone came looking for Delilah and snazzynovel.com mother.
“What does snazzynovel.com stepfather’s company do? Why are so many people after it?” James murmured.
Immediately, snazzynovel.com swiftly headed to the military region.

In the Emperor’s office in the military region…
“James…” Henry entered the room and asked, “Why did you summon me here in such a hurry? Is something the matter?”
“Henry, investigate Blue Tech Corporation at once. I want to know what this company does and the background of its boss, Xavion Zachary…”
Back then, the military region had only investigated the reason for the company’s bankruptcy and nothing else.
