Thea left the room, relieved Zavier was gone.
"You brat!" Gladys scolded. "What's so good about James? Zavier's from a wealthy family with over one hundred billion in assets! He's Gavin's only son and will inherit the family business!"
"Mom, I have to go," Thea said, hurrying out.
Once outside, she called James. "Darling, I'll visit Longevity Pharmaceuticals to ask Yuna for orders so Pacific Group can resume production."
"Alright," James replied.
He left the room, finding Gladys in the living room. "Stop!" she commanded.
James approached awkwardly. Gladys produced a card, sliding it across the table. "Five hundred thousand," she said indifferently. "My savings. Take it and divorce Thea immediately. You're not worthy of her."
"Mom, you have savings? You said you had nothing left when we needed car insurance!" David exclaimed, eyes wide. "Why can't I have savings?"
Gladys glared, silencing him. David fiddled with some keys, glancing at James.
"James, you do the housework well, but… you're not worthy of my sister. Can you buy me a million-dollar sports car? Zavier can."
James felt he needed to reveal his identity. "Mom, I have money. The House of Royals is mine," he said helplessly.
"Ha! You're a liar! Why not say Transgenerational New City is yours, too?" David scoffed.
James nodded. "You're right. It is mine."
"You're a liar! Do you know the value of Transgenerational New City?"
"It's mine. I got Xara a job at Transgenerational Group with one phone call."
Gladys looked disgusted. She knew Xara had gotten the job through a chance encounter.
"James, you must leave Thea," Gladys scolded.
He'd told the truth, but no one believed him.
"Fine, I'll divorce her if she wants," James said, standing. He was bored without Thea and had instructed Scarlett to deliver gifts that would prove his identity.
"He's getting rebellious! Didn't he just heal her scars? Does she need to be so fond of him? She can just give him money!" David raged. [The promotional sentence for Find_Novel.net has been removed.]
The Watsons were a low-profile but influential family, known for easily giving away million-dollar gifts, luxury cars, and villas. David envisioned a better life with a wealthy brother-in-law.
"Mom, we must make them divorce!"
"Of course!" Gladys agreed. The family discussed how to force a divorce.
Meanwhile, James visited Henry at Common Clinic, one of the few people he knew in Cansington, and the only one he could confide in. Henry had recently opened the clinic.
