Chapter 911
James had no choice but to return home and wait for the news.He hailed a taxi back to Cynthia’s villa.
Maxine hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the house, "How was it? Did you find her?"
James shook his head.
He walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Cynthia also asked, "Did you not find her?"
Maxine had already discharged the excessive Cold Energy in Cynthia’s body, allowing her body temperature to
return to normal for the time being.
Cynthia looked at James worriedly.
He took out his phone and opened the surveillance footage sent by the Blithe King.
Maxine leaned over and took a look.
After watching the footage, she asked with concern, "Who’s that old man? Why did Tiara leave with him?"
James’ expression was bleak.
"Judging from his appearance, it might be my grandfather.However, he was supposed to have died in the fire ten
years ago.I've already requested the Blithe King to use his authority to track down the man in the footage.I’ve also

"Thomas?"
Maxine exclaimed in disbelief and asked, "Did you say he’s your grandfather, Thomas Caden?"
James nodded, then shook his head again.
"Just by his appearance, it does seem to be him.However, my memory of him is slightly fuzzy since it’s been ten
years.I can’t be certain whether it’s him through the surveillance footage alone."
Maxine suddenly fell into thought.
With so many things happening recently, Tobias and Maxine had both suspected that Thomas was still alive.
"James, I think it’s very likely that’s your grandfather."
James looked at her and asked, "Do you also think it’s my grandfather?"
"Yeah."
Maxine nodded and said, "There have been a lot of unexpected events recently, especially the sudden emergence
of the God-King Palace.Grandpa couldn't find out who had been interfering with the overall situation and could not
find any clues.He analyzed and concluded that it was most likely Thomas.However, there was the premise that
Thomas had to be alive.Now that we’ve learned about this man who looks similar to your grandfather, I think
Grandpa must be right."
She paused and took a deep breath.
"If this man in the footage is Thomas, then some of the previous mysteries could be solved."
"What mystery?" asked James.
"The Johnstons suddenly kidnaped you, and they demanded the Cadens to come forward to save you.However,
Grandpa never agreed to it.In the end, someone disguised as me rescued you from the Johnstons and left you at
the gate of Caden’s mansion," Maxine explained.
"So?"
James looked at her puzzledly.
Maxine continued, "I’ve been wondering how Thea could immediately recognize me and know about the details in
the Capital.No matter how hard I thought about it, it simply seemed impossible.I finally came to a realization."
James’ heart skipped a beat.
"A-Are you suggesting that the person who rescued me from the Johnstons was Thea disguised as you?"
"Yes," Maxine nodded.
"That would be the only way to explain everything.I’m guessing that Thea already knows that Thomas is
alive.However, this is just my conjecture, and it can’t be proven unless you confront Thea about it."
James leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.He harked back to the day when he killed the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmperor.
The masked woman in a black dress suddenly crossed his mind.
At that moment, he did have a feeling that she resembled Thea.
Moreover, the figure that fought against Hades resembled Thomas from the footage.
After analyzing it for a while, James also was convinced of Maxine's assumptions.
"I'll go look for Thea to confirm it."
James stood up.
"Wait."
Maxine suddenly stopped him.
James looked at her.
Maxine thought for a moment and said, "Even though this person might be your grandfather, I’m afraid he is
scheming something because he refrained from meeting you and caused so many incidents from the
dark.Although I don’t know him, I’ve heard from Grandpa that Thomas is a vile and scheming man.Rashly
approaching Thea about it will only arouse his suspicion."
"He's my grandfather, so what if I arouse his suspicion? I believe he won’t cause me any harm."
James was confident in his grandfather.
