“What…”
Francis hesitated.
He had been pursuing Xara for many years, and his chance had finally come.
However, Mad Dog was not someone he could offend. He was a gangster in the criminal world and had
hundreds of men under him. The Lelands would be in trouble if he offended Mad Dog.
“Hurry and get lost…” Nelson pushed him away with his leg. “Y-yes! I’ll go right now.” After
contemplating the pros and cons, Francis compromised. There was no reason to offend Mad Dog just
for a woman.
The Lelands would be in big trouble if Mad Dog targeted them.
He turned around to leave.
“Xara?”
Suddenly a voice sounded.
James stopped the car and compared the woman in the photo with the one standing by the road.
After confirming it was the right person, he hurriedly walked over and greeted her, saying,” Xara, it’s
James.”
“You’re the James that married into the Callahans?”Xara glanced at James.
She had heard rumors before returning to Cansington.
The Callahans found a husband for her cousin, Thea, and he became their live-in son-in-law.
He even had some skills and healed the scars on Thea’s body, making Thea the number one beauty in
Cansington. “Yes, I’m the James who married into the Callahans,” James replied with a smile.
Following that, he proceeded to pick up Xara’s suitcase. “Brat, where did you come from? Don’t you
see that this is my woman? Get lost, or else I’ll kill you.” Nelson glared and threatened James.
“What?”
James looked at Nelson, then at Xara.
“Do you know him?”
Xara shook her head. “Nope.”
“Let’s go, then.” James picked up Xara’s suitcase.
Nelson stepped forward and blocked James. “Did you not hear what I said?
“Get lost.” James’ face darkened. He clenched his fists and threw a punch at Nelson’s face. Nelson
immediately felt overwhelmed by dizziness. He stumbled backward and fell to the ground, groaning in
pain. Francis was dumbfounded. ‘What just happened!”
This person was a subordinate of Mad Dog from the East District. How could he just hit him?
After Nelson got beaten, Francis approached again and said with a smile, “Xara, I’ve booked the table
in the Gourmand. Let’s go. It’ll be your welcoming meal!”
Since Nelson was beaten up, he wanted to take her with him quickly.
James glanced at Xara again. “Do you know him?”
Xara shook her head.
Wham!
James swung his fist again. Francis stumbled and fell to the ground. Afterward, James finally showed a
friendly smile and glanced at Xara.
“Let’s go.”
“What about…” Xara glanced at the two people lying on the ground, unable to get up. She had heard
about James. He was a retired soldier from the military. However, he never fought back when
mistreated by the Callahans and did all the house chores while enduring the scoldings.
‘Is this really the rumored live-in son-in-law of the Callahans?
‘He’s clearly a hero who stands up to help others without hesitation.’
“You’re dead, brat!” Francis got up from the ground and rubbed his dizzy head. He roared, “D-do you
know who I am? I’m a Leland! My father is Ethan Leland, the owner of Leland Pharmaceuticals! You’re
so dead!” Nelson got up, shook his head, and pointed at James.
“You’re so going to die! My boss is Mad Dog from the East District! Just you wait, little brat!”
After his threats, he took out his phone. “B-boss, I’m at the airport! Someone took my target and hit
me!”
