Roar of the Supreme Warrior
Chapter 595

At court...

The jury was assembled.

Many Callahans were also present.

At that moment, a court staff walked in and addressed the crowd apologetically, "I'm sorry. Mr. Youngblood has withdrawn his case. He said it was all a misunderstanding and that James did not rape his daughter. James, the accused, has been acquitted."

"What?"

The Callahans stood up in disapproval.

Gladys immediately cried out, "What the hell? The evidence is irrefutable. What do you mean by acquitted? Hurry and call for a trial! I want James to rot in prison!"

The court staff ignored her and walked away after the announcement.

The Callahans left with bewildered looks on their faces.

Quincy and Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.

Quincy looked at Scarlett with a bright smile and said, "Looks like he has dealt with the problem."

"Yes." Scarlett nodded, returning her smile. "Alright, we should return now."

James was acquitted of his charges.

He left the court.

Outside, he spotted the Callahans.

He walked over to them with a bright smile. "Thea, I told you I was innocent. The police have looked into the matter. Everything's fine now. Let's go home."

In contrast to his expectations, Thea's expression only grew more distant.

She was hoping that James would be convicted so that she could divorce him and marry the Black Dragon. Now that he was acquitted, what excuse would she have?

"You rapist! You're no longer my son-in-law. Get out of my sight! Thea's filing for a divorce. We'll see you in court." Glady's face darkened. James was supposed to be behind bars, but here he was strutting out of court like a free man.

If only she had the Black Dragon as her son-in-law, she would be able to hold her head high in public.

Tommy walked over to James and shot him a disgruntled look. He then sneered nastily, “James, you just aren't worthy of Thea anymore. Do you know who she is now? She's now replaced Jay Fallon as the Asclepius of Cansington. Hundreds of doctors pleaded for her to accept them as her disciple. Have a good look in the mirror, trash!"

James knew Thea wanted to divorce him.

However, he thought it was only because she thought he was a rapist.

Now that the problem was solved, Thea should have had no reason to divorce him.

"Thea?"

He looked at Thea.

Thea bit her lips indecisively.

She was at a loss.

Looking at James standing before her, she thought of the Black Dragon. They really could not be further unlike one another.

"I..." Her voice caught in her throat. After deliberating for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I-I don't think we're meant to be."

She uttered those words with great difficulty.

Guilt and shame washed over her.

James was the one who treated her injuries.

She would not be the woman she was currently if not for him.

However, she thought of the Black Dragon and his unrivaled medical skills.

James's medical skills were good but he learned them from the Black Dragon.

If James had not married into the Callahans, the Black Dragon would still come to her rescue. Naturally, she would gladly marry the Black Dragon. If all of this played out the way she wanted, she would not have to suffer so much.

Using these thoughts as her rationale, she no longer felt guilty.

"James, we're not right for each other. Let's separate. It'll be beneficial to both of us."

"James, you aren't worthy of her."

"Just divorce already. We promise to compensate you properly. We'll give you 10 million dollars."

"Take the 10 million and you won't have to worry about money ever again."

The Callahans all piped up one by one.

James wore a helpless expression.

He had shot himself in the foot.

Thea had fallen in love with the other him.

At that moment, he felt like slapping himself across the face.

When news of the Black Dragon's demise came, Thea no longer fantasized about being with him. Now that the rumor was dispelled, Thea's hopes were reignited.

Zigmund and Tiara walked out of the court.

They noticed the commotion upon exiting the building.

Seeing that the Callahans were forcing James to divorce Thea, Zigmund instantly brightened up. He walked over to them and beamed at them. "I apologize for the misunderstanding, James. By the way, since the Callahans are forcing you to divorce Thea, would you be interested in my daughter?"

As he said that, he pulled Tiara over.

James turned and saw her.

She was indeed a beautiful woman.

Tiara hung her head. She did not want to look at James.

Seeing his face reminded her of that eventful day.

She was filled with hatred for James.
