After hearing James’ words, Lex exclaimed in surprise, and his body trembled.
“What…
This was something that he had never dared to imagine before. “Is this real, James?”
The people gathered at the door were unaware of what happened, and they glanced at Lex, puzzled by
his reaction. “Granpa, let’s talk over there.”
James pulled Lex away and reassured him, “Grandpa, I swear what I’ve said is true. I’ve already made
arrangements. You can hold your birthday party at the House of Royals if you’d like, Grandpa. Holding
your eightieth birthday there will be the first step of the Callahans becoming an influential family when
the news spreads throughout Cansington.”
After a momentary excitement, Lex calmed down.
He glanced at James.
“Do you know what kind of place is the House of Royals, James? “It’s been built for years, and
countless wealthy families have tried to purchase it. Some even wanted to buy it for billions of dollars,
but there was no channel to purchase it. Now, you’re telling me I can hold my birthday celebration at
the House of Royals?”
“Yes.”
James wore a very sincere expression.
“Who do you think you are?”
“Grandpa, I’ll be honest with you. I was actually a general in the Southern Plains. However, I made a
mistake and had to go to military court. The House of Royals is owned by the Commander of the
Southern Plains, the Black Dragon. The place was awarded to him, and since the Black Dragon is far
away in the Southern Plains…”
James repeated the same story that he did to Thea again.
“Although I was expelled from the military and can never return, the commander has been looking out
for me. I’ve already called the commander and got his permission.”
“Y-you’re a general?” Lex’s expression changed subtly. He never imagined the live-in son-in-law of the
Callahans to be a general. Cough! Cough! “I-I violated military law and was taken to court, which got
me expelled from the army and kicked out of the military entirely. However… I can assure you,
Grandpa, that everything I said is genuine. Y-you can really hold your birthday party in the House of
Royals.”
Initially, James wanted to hold his wedding with Thea at the House of Royals.
However, there was a misunderstanding between him and Thea.
To prevent getting divorced, he had to approach the prideful Lex.
“You’re a good grandson-in-law. It doesn’t matter that you were expelled from the army since you’re
now a member of the Callahans. We will take care of you in the future,” Lex’s frown relaxed, and he
patted James on the soldier.
“Thank you, Grandpa. However, Thea has been clamoring to get a divorce with me for the past two
days. I’ve really exhausted all means to beg the commander for this opportunity. He finally agreed to
help me this time, seeing that I saved him eight years ago. Grandpa, could you convince Thea not to
get the divorce with me?”
“That won’t be a problem.” Lex smiled broadly.
The House of Royals.
The most prosperous and mysterious villa in Cansington. The whole of Cansington would be shocked
to hear him holding his birthday party at the House of Royals. “Thank you, Grandpa.” James smiled.
The rest would be easy after convincing Lex.
The misunderstanding could be explained slowly as long as they did not get a divorce.
“However, Grandpa, you can’t tell others how you got the chance to celebrate your birthday at the
House of Royals. I’ve got a record and will get in trouble if I attract the attention of relevant authorities.
The opportunity to hold your birthday celebration at the House of Royals will also go to waste,” James
advised. He knew Lex was extremely egoistic and would surely want to show off.
