It only took two hours for James to go out and return home.
Thea still had not woken up from her nap.
James entered the house and smoked a cigarette in the living room.
He checked the time and noticed that Thea had slept for quite a while. He got off his seat and went into
the room.
Thea was lying on the bed wearing a thin dress. Perhaps because of the heat, the neckline of her dress
was wide open, and her bra had slipped off, revealing a clear view of her cleavage.
James almost had a nosebleed. He gently shook Thea awake.
“Darling, time to get up and study.”
Thea opened her eyes in confusion, and the first thing she saw was her husband’s familiar face. In her
groggy state, she got out of bed and straightened her messy clothes. She blushed after realizing her
bra had nearly slipped off.
James chuckled.
“W-What’s so funny?” Thea raised her head and rolled her eyes at James.
“You’ve got a really great figure, Darling. I could barely hold myself back from taking you into my arms,”
James sincerely adınitted.
Thea’s pretty face turned even redder.
She quickly got up and went to the bathroom to hide her embarrassment. She washed her face and
freshened up.
Then, Thea returned to the room.
Her head spun at the sight of the thick books on introductory medicine on the desk.
“Honey, there’s only a few more days before the medical conference. What could I possibly learn in
these few days?” Thea had no confidence at all.
“You should still try your best. It’s better to have some knowledge than nothing at all.” Thea sighed.
Her confidence was shattered.
How was she supposed to outdo experienced medical practitioners who have had decades of
experience under their belt with just a few days of studying? How could that be possible? On top of
that, her company was struggling to stay afloat. It just killed any motivation she had to study.
“Honey, I-I don’t want to do this anymore. Since you’re so talented, why don’t you just participate and
get first place in my stead?” Thea looked at James with pleading eyes.
James frowned.
What was the point of him wanting to teach her if he wanted to win in the first place?
“Alright.”
Seeing Thea’s expectant expression, he could not bear to refuse.
Thea sighed in relief, “Then, I won’t have to memorize these anymore! I’ve got a headache just looking
at these human meridians and acupuncture points.”
“What’s the reward if I win first place?” James smiled teasingly at her.
“W-What kind of reward did you want?” Thea blushed.
Her flushed face was irresistible to James.
“T-The thing you promised before.”
“Alright, n-no big deal!”
“Are you going to give me a little taste of my reward?” James asked coyly.
Thea raised her head and pecked James on his cheeks.
“T-That doesn’t count! “Right here.” James pointed at his mouth. Thea rolled her eyes, stood up, and
walked out of the room, leaving James with the sight of her proud back moving away from him.
James touched his cheeks, where she kissed and grinned like a schoolboy. He followed her out of the
room.
They were alone at home.
Thea had been worried about the company’s affairs and kept spacing out.
“Darling, I’m going to the company to check on the situation.”
“Alright.”
James nodded.
He had not responded to the threat made by Oceanic Commerce toward Thea’s company. He was just
waiting for the right moment.
Also, he had a plan in mind.
A plan to support Thea to the top.
First, the genius doctor title had to be won to make a name for the company. Then, the company could
be reopened. It would no longer be a manufacturing company but one that researched and produced
its own medicine. This would force other companies to compete with each other in a bid to get their
supply from Century Group. Since Thea went to the company, James had nothing to do. So, he went
back to sleep in the room.
Meanwhile, in an underground casino in Cansington. David was dressed in a simple short-sleeved shirt
paired with a Rolex watch and gold necklace. He wrapped his arms around a voluptuous woman and
made huge bets. “F*ck, what terrible luck,” David whined.
In the blink of an eye, he had lost millions of dollars.
He stood up and was about to leave. “Don’t go, David.” The voluptuous woman pulled on David and
caressed her body on him. “Play a few more games, David. You can’t be unlucky forever. You might
strike gold in the next couple of rounds,” the woman purred persuasively.
“Forget it. I’m done.”
David still had some sense left in him. He wanted to leave. He would lose everything if he continued.
“Haha! I won thirty million in one round!”
