Chapter 176


    Henry was asleep in a room in Common Clinic.


    Sensing movement, he immediately got up and switched on the lights.


    He could see James walking in.


    “James, what brings you here?”


    James looked at Henry dejectedly. “I fought with Thea.”


    “Huh? What happened?” Henry was confused.


    James deeply sighed.


    Henry passed him a cigarette.


    James epted it.


    Henry lit the cigarette.


    James took a deep breath. “Nothing much. Just a little misunderstanding.”


    He recounted what happened to Henry.


    “Hahaha!”


    Henry could not restrain hisughter. “That’s hrious! The General of the Southern ins driven out of


    the Cahan residence?”


    Noticing James’ grim expression, he instantly held his tongue. With a serious look, he said, “James, I


    can help if you need me to kill someone. But something like this? I’m helpless.”


    James lightly waved him off. “I’m not expecting you to help me out. I’ll exin things to Thea when she


    calms down.”


    “You’ll be sleeping here tonight?”


    “Yes. We’ll have a good drink while we’re at it.”


    They left Common Clinic, and James brought Henry to a barbecue restaurant by the roads. They


    ordered somemb kebab and some beer.


    At the Cahans, Thea was in tears, crying herself to sleep.


    She woke up early the next day.


    Having just taken over Eternality Group, she had to attend to important matters. Besides, she needed


    to prepare the relevant documents for the application to set up shop at the Trade City Center.


    The Transgenerational City Center was not open for business investment yet. Even the fewrge


    corporations who had set up shop in advance only qualified by a hair’s breadth. Meanwhile, smaller


    businesses would have to wait for the official opening of the investment project to submit their


    application letters.


    “Thea.”


    dys approached Thea the moment she stepped out of her room. “Get your divorce with James done


    as soon as possible. I’ve found you a guy from a rich family. He’s young and wealthy. He’s definitely


    worthy of you. If you think I have bad taste, look for one yourself. Bryan from the Gourmand’s a pretty


    good pick.”


    “We’ll see.”


    Thea was absent-minded.


    She wanted to go to thepany.


    But before she went, she needed to go to the Department of Civil Affairs to deal with the divorce


    proceedings with James.


    On the way there, she called James.


    James got dead drunkst night.


    He was still sleeping when his phone rang.


    With his eyes closed, he searched for his phone by the bed and answered the call. “W-Who’s this?”


    “Nine o’clock. In front of the Department of Civil Affairs.”


    Hearing Thea’s voice, James was jolted awake. Refreshed, he got up.


    “Thea…”


    Beep!


    Before he could speak, Thea hung up the phone.


    James sat on the bed in a daze for a few seconds before drop-kicking Henry, who was still asleep.


    Henry instantly woke up.


    He rubbed his eyes. “What’s wrong, James?”


    “Thea wants to meet me in front of the Department of Civil Affairs at nine o’clock. What should I do?"


    "I..." Being put in a difficult position, Henry was at a loss. “James, how am I supposed to know? I’ve


    never been in a rtionship, let alone been married or divorced.”


    “Think of something.”


    “I…”


    Henry wore a perplexed look on his face.


    Immediately, he said, “I-I’ll call Scarlett. She’s a woman. She should know what to do.”

    James looked at the time. It was almost eight o’clock.


    He kicked Henry. “Why are you still dilly-dallying then? Go on, call her!”


    “Okay.”


    Henry pulled his phone out and called Scarlett.


    Scarlett had been busy at work at Transgenerational Group till three o’clock in the morning. When she


    received Henry’s call, she had just arrived at thepany for the day.


    Upon hearing Henry recount James’ story, she answered that she could not do anything to help.


    “Henry, what do I know? I’ve never been in a rtionship before. There’s no way I’d understand


    matters of marriage and divorce.”


    Both Scarlett and Henry could do nothing. After hanging up the phone, Henry looked at James


    innocently. “J-James, Scarlett doesn’t know what to do either.”


    “Then, what should we do now?” James was starting to worry.


    An idea shed across Henry’s mind. He suggested, “W-What if we give the Blithe King a call? We’ll


    ask him to stall for time by putting the divorce proceedings on hold and wait for a few days.”


    “Not bad.”


    James brightened up.


    He immediately called the Blithe King.


    At present, the Blithe King had important matters to attend to. Upon seeing James’ call, his face


    darkened. He answered the phone.


    With a surly expression, he asked, “What do you want from me so early in the morning, ck Dragon?”


    James’ugh sounded from the phone. “Nothing much. Just required a little assistance from you. My


    wife wants a divorce. Could you help me put the divorce proceedings on hold?”


    “ck Dragon, don’t push it.”


    The Blithe King was ring.


    He was the Blithe King, general of the Western border andmander-in-chief of the five armies, yet


    now, he was being told to y petty tricks over a couple’s divorce?
