NovelEnglishChapter 128 Eleven o’clock at night. Thea and Yuna hung out for the whole afternoon.
The former had tried every means to inquire about the identity of the ghost-masked man.
However, Yuna avoided answering the question.
Thea was unable to focus the whole day.
Late at night. She recalled the past while lying in bed. Ten years ago, she had gone on an outing with
her classmates, and they were playing near the river. Suddenly, she saw a villa being engulfed by an
inferno in the distance. They immediately rushed over and heard cries for help from inside the villa.
After a brief hesitation, Thea charged into the flames and rescued one person. However, the survivor
jumped into the river after being pulled out of the villa.
Another flashback of the past surfaced in her mind,
Cansington Hotel, top floor.
Trent pinned her down on the auction table and slashed her face repeatedly with a knife.
Thea remembered the desperation, the helplessness, and how powerless she felt.
Just when she was about to give up, a man wearing a ghost mask appeared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was a moment in her life that she would never forget.
Those powerful hands picked her up and saved her from that hopeless situation.
Unfortunately, she fainted.
She was unaware of whatever had happened next!
‘Yuna mentioned the ghost-masked savior of mine was the one I rescued from the fire from the Cadens
villa ten years ago. Who could he be?’ Thea muttered softly.
At that moment, her ringtone went off.
She lifted her phone and found that it was James calling.
Thea shook her head. “Thea, you have a husband. How can you be thinking about another man?
Putting away her thoughts, she answered the phone. “Darling, I’m outside. I forgot to bring my keys
when I left home. Come help me open the door.” “Okay.”
Thea got up, walked out of the room, and went to open the door for James. James waited for a while,
and the door was opened shortly.
Thea showed up dressed in her pajamas.
It was a very thin and slightly see-through set of white pajamas. Moreover, she was braless, and the
scenery inside was vaguely visible.
“Look at the time right now. Where did you go?” Thea wore a displeased expression
James scratched his head and explained honestly, “A military comrade of mine retired and returned to
the city. We caught up for dinner and chatted for a while. I’m sorry for coming home late.”
“Hurry and come in.”
Thea did not continue to pursue the matter and quickly grabbed James into the house.
They returned to the bedroom.
James habitually headed to get his mat and pillow. Then, he lay down on the floor.
Thea lay down on the bed, turned around, and glanced at James sleeping on the floor. She took a deep
breath and turned around again.
The night passed by, and the morning came. This day was Yuna’s 25th birthday. Her birthday party was
going to be held at the Cansington Hotel
Yuna was the executive chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals and was one of the most influential
figures in Cansington.
However, Yuna was from the Capital and not a Cansington local. Therefore, she was not a candidate
for the Great Four.
Otherwise, with Longevity Pharmaceuticals’ assets, she would outrank the Great Four easily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYuna had invited many people to her birthday party. Everyone that was a prominent figure in
Cansington received an invitation from her.
She was not a flamboyant person and wanted to celebrate her birthday in a very lowkey manner.
However, she was a member of a well-known family
Although the Lawsons were very influential in the Capital, they were now in Cansington. She had only
been here for less than a year and had a tiny social circle. This was an opportunity for her to make
more friends in Cansington and build a solid foundation for her business.
The Callahans’ house.
Thea’s bedroom.
Thea was dressed in a white V-neck dress that outlined her perfect figure. Her curves were
accentuated, and her smooth back was completely exposed. She usually never wore such revealing
clothes and her back felt very chilly. She could not resist and asked, “James, is my dress too
revealing?”
James, sitting beside her, glanced at Thea standing in front of the vanity mirror, constantly checking
herself out.
The dress is really pretty but might be a little too revealing. See, there are only a few straps on the
back, and half of your back is exposed.”
“It’s all Yuna’s fault. She kept saying that this dress suited me a lot,” Thea complained. “It’s not a big
issue. It’s just slightly revealing on your back.” “Look in front…”
Thea turned around.
