The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 4

 

 

After leaving the Callahans’ villa. 

Thea was crying. “Jamie, I’m so sorry. I don’t even have any control over my marriage.” 

James took her hand. “It’s okay. Grandfather has made the statement. If I manage to get an order from Celestial Group, he’ll have no choice but to acknowledge us as husband and wife.” 

“It’s Celestial Group we’re talking about.” Thea was worried. 

Born and bred in Cansington, she knew all there was to Celestial Group. 

 

Celestial Group was an international company, having broken into the Cansington market just recently. The Great Four basically monopolized Celestial Group’s orders. 

James only smiled. “We’ll never know if we don’t try.” 

Thea thought of something suddenly, saying, “Oh yeah, I remember now. An old classmate of mine is working at Celestial Group. In fact, she’s the head of a department there. Let me get in touch with her. She might be able to connect us with the higher management.” 

“Okay.” 

Holding hands, the both of them walked home to Thea’s. 

Thea’s house and the Callahans’ villa were located in the same residential area. Where the headquarters of the Callahans’ was the villa, Thea’s place was in a high-rise building. 

The two of them took a leisurely stroll back. Gladys had arrived ahead of them, and she refused to let James into the house. 

James shrugged. There was nothing he could do. “I’ll go home then, Thea.” 

Thea knew she had no choice either, so she nodded. 

The priority now was to secure the orders from Celestial. That way, the Callahans would have no choice but to accept James as part of the family. 

After settling down at home, she got in touch with her classmate whom she had not spoken to for many years. 

On the other hand, James returned to the House of Royals, situated in an area where the most luxurious villas of Cansington were. 

He sat down on the couch and lit a cigarette. Taking out his phone, he dialed a number. “Bring me the chairman of Celestial Group.” 

He hardly wanted to press his privilege as the Dragon General, but it could not be helped if he wanted the deal with Celestial.
