“W-what’s going on?”
“Did Yuna invite Lex?”
“That’s impossible. Lex humiliated himself outside the military region and even got thrown out by the
general. He must’ve been so embarrassed, but why did Yuna invite him?” “Could it be that he came
uninvited?”
The crowd began to discuss Lex’s appearance.
Everyone at the banquet consciously stepped away, not wanting anything to do with Lex.
Tommy was complacent and said with a proud expression, “Grandpa, look at them. You’re so famous in
Cansington that these people are backing down to show respect to you.”
Hearing Tommy’s flattery, Lex was on cloud nine and wore an undisguised pride on his face.
He spotted Yuna and approached with his cane. With a smile on his face, he said, “Ms. Lawsons, I’m
honored that you personally invited me to your birthday banquet.”
Yuna frowned.
She nodded lightly and showed slight acknowledgtnent since Lex was the grandfather of James
wife, Thea
“Happy birthday, Ms. Lawson. I got you a pair of jade bracelets as a gift. It’s not worth much, only about
two million. I hope you like it,” Lex said as he presented the gift he had prepared. “That’s so thoughtful
of you, Mr. Callahan. Have a seat,” Yuna greeted and invited Lex to sit down.
Everyone paid attention to them and was puzzled by the scene.
Why would Yuna invite the patriarch of a second-class family to sit down?
Could it be that the Callahans had a connection with Yuna?
The sight was really unusual.
By the way, Thea seemed to have a very friendly relationship with Yuna. Was that the reason?
Many people secretly made guesses about the abnormal scene.
Previously, everyone had already seen Thea and Yuna sticking together and they seemed to have a
good relationship.
Although Thea was kicked out from the Callahans, she was still from the family, and it was possible for
her to return one day.
Seeing Yuna personally greeting Lex, many people assumed that the Callahans had formed a close
relationship with the Lawsons.
Lex’s face it up after being personally welcomed to be seated. He was pleased and glanced around
with an expression as if saying, ‘Who sald the Callahans were a second-class family?’
“Mr. Callahan, you’ve arrived.”
“Lex, you’re looking more energetic and younger recently!”
Immediately, many company chairpersons came forward to greet Lex enthusiastically
Despite the Callahans being a laughing stock, the fact they were still partners with Celestial Group was
still true.
Now that the Callahans had a connection with the Lawsons, they would hit the jackpot if they also
struck a partnership with Longevity Pharmaceuticals,
This was the best time to curry favor with the Callahans.
Therefore, many people approached Lex to flatter him.
Lex wore a broad smile and continuously greeted the people who came to him.
Tommy, who was sitting beside him, grinned like a proud prince
Seeing Lex, Thea had a very complicated expression. After hesitating, she walked over and greeted,
“Grandpa.” Lex raised his head.
He was stunned to see Thea in a white dress with her hair styled in an updo. She radiated with the
temperament of a high-born lady.
“Th-Thea?” “Yes, Grandpa,” Thea nodded and greeted him again.
Tommy was in awe when he saw Thea.
He never expected Thea to look so gorgeous when dressed up. In both figure and appearance, she
looked even better than the birthday girl, Yuna.
Megan immediately noticed the value of Thea’s outfit at a glance.
She was envious and sneered, “Did you go sleep with Alex again, Thea? It’s only been a few days, and
now you’re wearing branded clothing? Your whole outfit adds up to at least hundreds of thousands of
dollars, right?”
Thea approached to greet them but was instead met with Megan’s snobbish words.
No matter how good-tempered she was, she was slightly angered at that moment. She pointed at
Megan, who was acting mightly. “Y-you shouldn’t spout nonsense!” “Nonsense? Isn’t it true? Where did
you get the money to buy the clothes if it wasn’t because you slept with Alex?” The Callahans had been
the center of countless scandals recently. The partnership between Celestial Group and the Callahans
was the biggest one.
Even though Alex had already held a press conference to refute it, the rumors continued to spread that
Thea had slept with Alex
