Chapter 1269

After Thomas exchanged a few words with Thea and James, he immediately left.

James muttered perplexedly, “What happened 30 years ago? Who’s Xyla?”

He looked at the wheelchair–bound Lorenzo and asked, “What happened in the Cadens‘ household 30 years ago?”

There was a solemn look on Lorenzo’s old, wrinkled face. He silently looked at the gates with a wistful expression.

Since he was unwilling to explain, James did not further pursue the issue. However, James inferred that Thomas was forced into doing the things he did back then.

James looked at Thea beside him and said, “Thea, we should head back to Cansington too. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. We should return to celebrate the New Year.

“Okay.” Thea nodded her head.

“Are you leaving, James? You’re not going to stay with the Cadens to celebrate the New Year?” Maxine stood up and asked with a disappointed pout.

James shook his head gently and said, “No. My grandfather was expelled from the Cadens thirty years ago. Thus, I’m no longer part of this family.”

After speaking, he took Thea’s hand and walked out of the gate under the watchful eyes of the Cadens.

Maxine took a small step forward.

She wanted to chase after him and make him stay, but she did not have a good reason for it.
