Chapter 158 Xara could not understand this. How did James get to know General Highsmith?

Danny? An old friend from the orphanage?

“James, be honest with me. What’s your relationship with General Daniel Highsmith?” Xara asked.

James replied while munching on his food, “General Daniel Highsmith? I don’t know who that is. That

guy earlier is a childhood friend of mine. We haven’t seen each other in years. Since we bumped into

each other, we decided to have a meal together. Is he a general now?”

“You don’t know?” Xara was rather suspicious of James’ words.

General Highsmith seemed to obey James’ every command and acted according to his wishes.

James went on, “I don’t know. It’s been more than ten years since I was at the Southern Plains. This

Daniel… Sorry, Danny. From what I know, this Danny guy went to the Western border. He never

mentioned anything about being a general.” James put his chopsticks down and looked at Xara.

“He’s… a general?” “Yes. Did you not watch the Blithe King’s succession ceremony? It’s been on

replay these past few days.” “F*ck…” James exclaimed. “Really? This kid’s a general now? Back in the

day, he was just a nobody who looked up to me. This won’t do. I have to bring him back here and kiss

his “ss. Oh, wait. I don’t have a phone. What should I do? I’ve lost this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to

get rich.”

James put on a face of regret.

Francis finally understood what was going on. He now knew why James was having a meal with

General Highsmith. It turned out Daniel used to be called Danny, and he seemed to have been

acquainted with James since young.

However, that was many years ago.

Now, Daniel was a general, and he was having a meal with James as a token of their childhood. Now

that he was a general, it was likely he no longer thought much of James. Francis raised his head and

said, “Xara, the Leland family is also very influential. We’re acquainted with General Highsmith. We’ve

even requested his help in our business.” He started bragging again. Eager to impress his crush, he

boasted about his family’s influence and his earnings from his plant. Hearing this, Xara began to feel a

little repulsed.

However, being rich was indeed something worth boasting about.

Compared to his peers, Francis was a capable man.

At least, he was much more competent than Xara’s brother-in-law.

She glanced at James.

Marrying into the Callahans, unemployed, and using the resources of the Callahans as he pleased, he

was a useless piece of trash.

However, her opinion of him had changed after finding out he used to be in the military and that he

knew Daniel.

“I’m full.”

James wiped his mouth with a napkin. Suddenly, he remembered. Who would pay the bill now that

Daniel had left? Glancing at the still-boasting Francis, he laughed. “Since you’re such a wealthy man,

Mr. Leland, I hope you wouldn’t mind paying the bill?” As he spoke, he pulled Xara away. “Xara, Thea

ordered me to bring you home safely. Now that we’ve had our meal, let’s leave.”

“Okay.” Xara nodded. “James, what are you doing?” Francis rebuked him all of a sudden. He had

waited for Xarato come to Cansington and had finally gotten the opportunity to have a meal with her.

He would not let her go so easily. He had planned to bring her shopping in his mall to impress her by

flaunting his wealth.

“Huh?”

James frowned and asked, “What?” Francis pointed at James’ hand and exclaimed, “Hands off. She’s

my girl.” James glanced at Xara.

Xara looked at Francis with a tint of displeasure. “Francis, when did I ever say I was your girl?” Francis’

tone immediately softened. “Xara, look at what I’ve got. Are you still hesitating? Once you become my

girlfriend, you won’t have to work anymore. You won’t have to worry about food and clothing, and you

can buy anything you want. Don’t you want that?” “No,” Xara replied curtly, “I have a perfectly

functioning body of my own. I can feed myself.”
