Suddenly, a car approached the villa.
A tall, fair-skinned woman dressed in a professional outfit got out of the car. The woman was Thea.
After she had taken over the company, she noticed some financial problems after going through the
documents. Thus, she came to the villa to inquire about it.
Unexpectedly, she saw James standing in front of the Callahans’ villa as soon as she got out of the
car.
She froze but collected herself, walked over, and greeted, “Grandpa.”
Lex’s expression softened, and a smile blossomed on his face as he saw Thea. “What brings you here,
Thea?”
“Grandpa, I was sorting through the company’s financial documents and found some problems I
wanted to ask about.” “Alright, let’s talk inside.” Although Lex had an excellent attitude toward Thea, his
expression changed as soon as he glanced at James. He immediately scolded him. “Come in and
settle your issue with Thea since she’s here in person.”
Thea glanced at James and entered the house without saying a word to him.
James walked into the villa calmly.
The Callahans’ villa, living room.
The family members sat around the room.
However, James remained standing. Thea’s face was full of anger after learning about the whole
incident.
So shameful!
It was too embarrassing! She never expected James to deceive Lex by promising he could celebrate
his birthday in the House of Royals to avoid getting divorced. Lex had excitedly gone to check the
venue but instead got beaten up. After Brody had settled the issue, he blatantly came to claim the
credit for it.
“James, you really disappoint me.” James glanced at Thea and asked, “Thea, even you don’t believe
me? Didn’t I bring you to the House of Royals…” “That’s enough.” Thea stood up and scolded him,
“How am I supposed to believe you when I saw it with my own eyes? Even my brother saw it too! How
could it be a misunderstanding?”
“No, I’m talking about the House of.”
“Stop being so shameless, James. You seduced our cousin and even embarrassed Grandpa. Now,
you’re even trying to take credit for someone else’s work? The Colemans have connections in the
military region. What about you? What do you have? You’re just a criminal that went to military court!”
James desperately wanted to explain himself. He wanted to tell Thea that he never lied to Lex. He
wanted to ask her why she would not believe him when he even brought her to stay in the House of
Royals for ten days.
However, Thea did not give him the chance to explain.
Lex took a puff of his tobacco pipe and said, “James, you’ve already been married into the Callahans
for some time. However, you’re no longer worthy of Thea now. I’ll give you one million dollars to divorce
her, and from today onward, you’ll have nothing to do with the Callahans.”
Although Lex got beaten up because of James, Brody solved the problem and gave him the chance to
celebrate his birthday in the House of Royals.
He was in a good mood and did not want to waste time on James.
He was willing to offer James some money so that he would leave Thea. “James, hurry and thank
Grandpa for his generosity.” “Do you know how much money a million dollars is? You’d never make
that much as a soldier in your whole life.”
“Kneel and show your gratitude to Grandpa.” The third generation of the Callahans took their turns
mocking him.
James looked at Thea’s angry face.
She was already angry but was even more furious after hearing Lex’s story.
James could not do anything.
He was in charge of thousands of soldiers and had gone through countless battles yet failed to
succeed at love. It was the hardest to deal with a jealous woman.
He understood that Thea was unwilling to listen to whatever he had to say now.
Then, there was no point in trying to explain anymore.
James glanced at Lex. “You’ll regret this, Lex.”
Then, he glanced at Brody. “Secretary of a general in the North Cansington Military Region? Well, I’ve
remembered it clearly. Tomorrow, you and your uncle will both have to pack up and leave the military.”
“Haha, I’m going to die of laughter. Get out now! Do you know what rank the general secretary in the
military is? Who do you think you are? The Blithe King?”
“Young man, you shouldn’t run your mouth.” Brody was infuriated.
“Get out of here!” Seeing Brody displeased, Lex immediately chased James away.
James shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and left.
