The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 789 That entire discussion completely drained what was left of James mental energy.

Nodding lightly at Quincy, he tiredly lay on on the sofa.

Alright.

I just close my eyes for a minute.

Cynthia stood up and said, Ill help you upstairs, James.

Okay.

With Cynthias help, James was guided to a guest bedroom on the second floor.

She left him to rest in the room and gently closed the door.

Then, Cynthia headed.

downstairs.She plopped herself on the sofa next to Quincy and grinned cheekily at her.

So, how far have both of you gone? Quincy rolled her eyes and gave a terse reply, Stop that.

Theres nothing between us.

Pfft.

Do you think Im stupid? You literally look at him with lovestruck eyes.

Cynthia pouted, mildly disappointed at Quincys blase response.

Quincy sighed softly.

She stopped herself from considering a future with James and what that would look like.

She knew that while Thea still clung to him, it was impossible for him and Quincy to have a happy ending.

Seeing Quincys crestfallen expression, Cynthia could sense something was greatly upsetting her.

She asked hesitantly, Did… James get back together with Thea? Yeah.

Quincy nodded in resignation.

Cynthia scowled.

I dont care that shes a gorgeous woman, I dont like her.

James treated her so well, and yet she mercilessly walked all over his feelings.

If I were him, she wouldnt even be an option! Id choose you over her any day! Quincy chuckled at Quincys frank response and said, Alright, thats enough.

I saw a lot of people around the house.

You must have a chef, right? Yeah.

Cynthia nodded.

Could you ask the chef to prepare a large meal? James gets hungry easily and is like a bottomless pit when he eats.

Okay.

Cynthia quickly rushed off to tell her personal chef to start preparing a meal for James.

When she returned, she sat back on the sofa and continued chatting with Quincy.

The Dawns housekeeper, Luther, came over to them to interrupt their lively discussion.

Miss, theres someone at the door.

Shes been standing there for a very long time.

We tried to talk to her, but she wont give us any answers.

Huh? Cynthia frowned.

Who is it? Luther shook his head.

I dont recognize her.

Lets go see her for ourselves.

Cynthia stood up and walked toward the door.

Quincy followed behind her.

A woman stood silently outside the villas iron gate.

She looked to be in her 20s and was dressed in a plain dress, black stockings, and a pair ofboots.

The woman had beautiful facial features and long black hair.

It was drizzling, and judging by her wet hair, she must have been standing outside for quite some time.

Whyd she come here? Quincy walked out and frowned when she saw sho was waiting outside.

Cynthia turned to Quincy with a confused expression.

Whos that, Quincy? Quincy explained to Cynthia in a hushed tone.

At the last medical conference, someone.

drugged James and kidnapped him to a hotel room.

That woman was also drugged and brought there.

The two of them had slept together.

Oh, thats the girl? Cynthia was surprised.

Of course, she had heard about the incident.

However, she did not know the identity of the woman that James slept with.

Cynthia only knew that it was the daughter of a famous painter.

Quincy approached her and asked, Tiara, how did you find this place? Tiara stood aside and said, I saw the news.

A reporter filmed James getting in a car and coming to this place, so I followed it.

Are you here to see James? Quincys frown got deeper.

Tiara nodded and said wistfully, He promised to marry me if he made it back alive from the war in the Southern Plains.

James promise had been on her mind ever since.

She had gone to James public trial in the Capital, but there were too many people there.

So she never had a chance to meet with him.

She knew he would eventually return to Cansington, so she had been waiting all this time.

This…
