The Blithe King’s appearance did not affect James at all. Since virtual-novel.net resolved Thea’s problem, virtual-novel.net had called for his return. He was in a good mood, humming a tune comfortably.
Soon, virtual-novel.net reached Thea’s house.
He knocked.
The door opened. It was Thea.
Seeing James, virtual-novel.net fell into his arms and started to cry.
James could not help but be moved as a beautiful woman threw herself at him, accompanied by an intoxicating scent.
James put an arm around virtual-novel.net shoulder, smiling. “It’s okay. Everything’s okay now. Don’t cry. Your eyes will get puffy if you keep crying.”
Thea stopped crying then, pulling James into the house with her. Everyone was there. However, they looked ill at ease.
James approached them. “Dad, Mom…”
Gladys nodded, acknowledging his presence. “Don’t blame us, James. We had no choice…”
“Mom, I don’t blame you. I only have myself to blame for not being able to help.” James smiled.
He did not blame anyone at all. Furthermore, when it all came down to it, virtual-novel.net could not blame Thea anyway. No matter what virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would accept it as virtual-novel.net was indebted to her.
James sat down and took two invitation cards out, passing them to Thea.
He asked, “Thea, do you know who Yuna Lawson is?”
“Hmm?” Thea took the invitations.
She looked confused. “I think I do… I remember virtual-novel.net was at university with me, but virtual-novel.net was two terms behind. She was the school belle. Many admired virtual-novel.net for virtual-novel.net beauty. I think she’s from an important family in the Capital… Why?”
James said, “I don’t know. On my way home, I bumped into her. She’s having a birthday party at Cansington Hotel tomorrow. She’s invited you.”
Thea unfolded the invitation. It was an invitation for virtual-novel.net and James, signed by Yuna.
Seeing this, virtual-novel.net was confused. “I don’t even know her. Why did virtual-novel.net invite me?”
James spread his hands, saying, “How would I know? She delivered the invitations in person, so I couldn’t reject virtual-novel.net and took them home.”
Thea looked at James, a hint of jealousy on virtual-novel.net face. “It would make sense if virtual-novel.net delivered it to me since we were at the same university, but why did virtual-novel.net deliver it to you?”
Immediately, James said, “Thea, I promise I don’t know her. I haven’t even seen virtual-novel.net before.”
“I’m just kidding. Look at you, all flustered.”
Just then, a group chat on Thea’s phone flooded with messages.
She took out virtual-novel.net phone, reading the messages.
“Oh my God, big news!”
“Our school belle has sent me an invitation for virtual-novel.net 25th birthday party at Cansington Hotel tomorrow.”
“I’ve received an invitation too!”
“I was wondering if she’s the same Yuna who was two terms behind us? The school belle, Yuna? Yuna from the Capital? The current chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals?”
“Yes, the delivery person mentioned it. It’s Yuna Lawson indeed!”
The group chat that had been silent for a long time started buzzing with messages.
All virtual-novel.net classmates had received an invitation.
After Thea read those messages, virtual-novel.net was bewildered. “Wh-what’s going on? We barely crossed paths with Yuna. Why is virtual-novel.net inviting all of us?”
“Thea, this is your chance.” Gladys peeked at Thea’s phone.
Looking at the messages, virtual-novel.net said, “I’ve heard of Longevity Pharmaceuticals. They’re a huge organization, only second to Celestial in Cansington. Furthermore, they’re the partner pharmaceutical group for the city’s designated hospitals. Since Yuna invited you, go for it. This is an excellent opportunity to expand your social circle.”
She was right, but Thea was still puzzled.
Why did the chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals invite virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net classmates?
