“How dare you…” James was about to go berserk Thea grabbed hold of virtual-novel.net immediately.
“Alright, let’s go.” She was familiar with his temper by now.
He even beat someone up during a family meeting. If virtual-novel.net did not stop him, this matter would get blown out of proportion. Those in the military were so hot-tempered.
James did not lash out as Thea had a hold on him.
Both of them walked toward the entrance.
“Thea, is that you?” A woman at the entrance was staring at Thea in surprise.
“Hmm?” Thea turned, noticing a woman about twenty-seven or -eight years old.
She was wearing a long, blue dress and clutching a Chanel bag. Gold earrings dripped from virtual-novel.net ears, a crystal necklace sparkled at virtual-novel.net neck, and a gold bangle flashed on virtual-novel.net arm.
Decked out in gold and silver, virtual-novel.net looked beautiful and elegant. She was on the arm of a man in his thirties. He wore branded clothing from head to toe, looking powerful and important.
“W-who are you?” Thea could not recognize her.
“Thea, it’s you!” The woman in the jewelry and blue dress approached, smiling. “Have you forgotten? I’m Xena Ferguson!”
“Oh, it’s you, Xena!’ Thea finally remembered a Xena Ferguson in virtual-novel.net class back in university.
“Thea, I’ve heard that you recovered your looks. Now, you’re the most beautiful woman in Cansington. Also, did your family pick a husband for you?”
“That’s right…” Thea pulled James to her, making the introductions. “This is my husband, James…”
Xena grabbed the handsome man next to virtual-novel.net as well. “This is my husband, Zach Smith. The Smiths are only second to The Great Four in Cansington.”
Zach stared at Thea.
Thea was now famous in Cansington. She was once the ugliest woman, but virtual-novel.net was the most beautiful woman now. It was such a drastic change that everyone knew about it.
Seeing Thea, his expression turned greedy.
He then turned his gaze onto James, who was wearing plain clothes. Seeing him, Zach’s expression turned mocking.
“Thea, the Callahans are quite an important family. How did you end up marrying this piece of trash? There are still some eligible bachelors in my family. Why don’t you divorce him? I’ll introduce you to someone in my family…” Zach stared at Thea, planning to have virtual-novel.net himself.
He said virtual-novel.net would introduce virtual-novel.net to an eligible bachelor in his family, but virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net for himself.
“Thanks, Mr. Smith…” Thea smiled, pulling James away.
“Hey Thea, are you shopping for new clothes for Yuna’s birthday party?” Xena grabbed Thea.
“What?” Thea looked at Xena, asking, “Why?”
When virtual-novel.net was at school, virtual-novel.net was shunned in class. She was never close with virtual-novel.net classmates.
What was going on now?
Why did they suddenly have so much to say?
“Thea, I heard that you’ve been cast out of the Callahans. How can you still afford such expensive clothes?”
Thea’s expression darkened. She might have been simple-minded, but virtual-novel.net knew that Xena was making fun of her. She ignored Xena, not wanting to argue with someone so snobbish.
“Oh, important guests! Please, come in!..” Just then, the salesperson who snubbed Thea earlier on approached them.
Seeing as Xena was decked out in jewelry and carried a purse worth thousands, the salesperson bowed as if virtual-novel.net was welcoming God himself. It was so different from how virtual-novel.net treated Thea.
Xena lifted virtual-novel.net head and looped virtual-novel.net arm through Zach’s, walking over proudly. She even glanced back at Thea, smiling.
“Thea, it’s Yuna, Ms. Lawson’s birthday party tomorrow. Look at how shabbily you’re dressed. I think you better not go and embarrass yourself. Furthermore, the Callahans are now the laughing stock of Cansington. Who fakes an invitation to attend the Blithe King’s succession ceremony? What a joke…”
“You…” Thea was shaking in anger.
Next to her, James said. “See, I told you we shouldn’t leave. We have the money to pay…”
“What?” James’ words caught virtual-novel.net attention.
She then burst out laughing. “You’re just a soldier. How much money do you have? Can you even afford the clothes here?”
