Only a few reliable people knew about James’ strength.
It was unlikely that Mr. Gabriel would feel threatened if he did not know about his strength.
Thus, James felt that Mr. Gabriel would simply ignore him.
Maxine thought about it carefully and felt that James’ logic made sense.
If she were Mr. Gabriel and knew James was not strong, she would not pay attention to him either. Even if James had authority, he was not going to be much of a threat.
“I was worrying too much.” Maxine did not say anything more. She continued eating her nuts as she entered the house.
“Honey…” Thea was hesitant to speak.
James asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you hesitating?”
Thea thought about it and felt that she should tell James about what was happening in Cansington to prevent him from blaming her for it in the future.
Thea murmured, “The Callahans found out about your appointment as the Emperor and are planning to hold a banquet in Cansington on the day of your succession ceremony. They want to use the opportunity to invite bigwigs in Cansington and show off.”
She lowered her head like a child who made a mistake, not daring to look James in the eye.
Hearing this, James frowned.
However, it was as expected from them.
He knew very well the virtue of the Callahans. They were just a bunch of ungrateful snobs.
“Let them do as they please.”
James had no time to bother with such things and did not care as long as they did not do anything out of line.
After thinking about it, he reminded her, “Tell them to maintain a low profile as much as possible. I don’t have time to be distracted and won’t be able to protect them if something happens.”
Thea sat down and said, “If you’re so free, why don’t you practice?”
Maxine replied with a smile, “Strength isn’t something that can be improved overnight. You don’t just suddenly become strong; it takes years. Also, I got injured and am tired of practicing. It’s much more comfortable just being free.”
Maxine’s current state was different from the past.
She had never felt so relaxed before and was unwilling to trouble herself.
“Thea, I’ve always had some doubts.”
“Yeah?” Thea looked at Maxine.
Maxine said, “Why did Thomas contact you to ask you to help James kill the Emperor and disguise as me to save him from the Johnstons? Instead of taking him back to heal, he asked you to leave him at the Cadens’.”
Maxine had been thinking about these questions for a long time.
