Chapter 668
“M–My son–in–law was the Black Dragon?” Wearing a remorseful expression, Gladys slapped her forehead. “Gladys Hill, how
foolish of you. You chased away the best son–in–law in the world.”
Quincy looked at Thea and said, “You‘re on your own.” After leaving this cold remark, she turned to leave. “Sigh...” Seeing the
remorseful look on Thea‘s face, Cynthia sighed deeply. She looked at Zane and grabbed his hand. “Dad, let‘s go home. We‘ll
return to the north. Since James doesn‘t belong here, I don‘t belong here either.”
“Mhm.”
Zane nodded. Then, together with Cynthia, they left Cansington Hotel.
Seeing that Quincy was about to leave, Thea hurriedly stopped her. “D-Don‘t go! Tell me, please! What should I do now?”
Quincy turned and looked at the sobbing Thea and said, “You shouldn‘t have treated him like that from the very beginning. It was
you who drove James away. There‘s not much I can help you out with. To be honest, I have feelings for him too. I love him. But,
since he was your husband, I couldn‘t steal him away from you. “When the two of you got divorced, I thought my time had come.
However, to my dismay, he only has you on his mind. There‘s no space for me.
“The Southern Plains is in chaos, and he has to return to take charge of the situation on the battlefield. The battlefield is a
treacherous place. There‘s no guarantee that he would return alive.”
Saying that, Quincy turned to leave. The Callahans were remorseful. They regretted mistreating James.
Meanwhile, Thea cried her eyes out.
She reminisced about everything related to James, from the time at the House of Royals, to the Black Dragon card she tossed
into the trash can, and to the Blithe King‘s succession ceremony. Not only that, she thought of his unrivaled medical skills and his
unparalleled mastery of martial arts. “I should‘ve known. How dumb of you, Thea.”
Thea cried out.
At the same time...
James was heading toward the military region to get on a private plane to the Southern Plains.
Henry was sitting beside him,
“Are we returning just like that?”
Looking at the buildings disappearing into the distance, James could not help but feel a little wistful. “I didn‘t belong here in the
first place. I returned to Cansington to avenge my family and to repay Thea‘s act of kindness. Think of it as some kind of
closure.” “But, Thea and you...” Henry opened and shut his mouth. In the end, he said, “Is there no way around this? You love
her so very much. How did it turn out like this?”
James sighed dejectedly. He never thought his relationship with Thea would turn out this way.
Perhaps this was fate.
Suddenly, the car stopped. A soldier got off the car and hurriedly reported to James, “Sir, someone is blocking the path.” Henry
ordered, “Shoo them off. Will you bear responsibility if we‘re late?” “Understood.”
Just as the soldier turned to leave, James stopped him. “I‘ll have a look.”
He got off the car.
A woman was standing in the middle of the road.
Around twenty years of age, the woman was dressed casually. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and her facial features were
delicate and exquisite. “It‘s her.”
James knew that woman.
It was Tiara Youngblood.
Back then, in order to frame him, Jonathan Harris had set him up. In the end, James had sexual intercourse with Tiara.
Tiara stood in the middle of the road to block the vehicles from leaving. James, in his Black Dragon robe, walked over to her and
asked, “Why are you here?” Tiara lifted her head to look at him.
“W–Why can‘t I be here? I‘m going to the Southern Plains with you.”
Tiara was courageous.
She had returned to pursue her happiness.
She knew she would lose the opportunity forever if she continued to stand idly by.
James momentarily froze. Immediately, he said, “Although I was being framed, the fact remains that I‘ve done something horrible
to you. I shall bear the consequences of it. However, now‘s not the time. Once I pacify the Southern Plains, and if I‘m still alive at
that point, I promise to marry you. Is that alright?” James apologized.
He did not know how to compensate for the anguish Tiara had suffered.
He could only make such a promise.
