Tommy was the eldest grandson in the family, that was why everybody spoke up for him when he was attacked.
In the heat of the moment, James became the public enemy, and so did Benjamin’s family.
Once again, Thea was the target of the ugliest insults.
There were requests for Lex to revoke Benjamin’s shares, too.
Tommy was elated with all these people on his side.
He looked at James with an expression that said, ‘You’re just a nobody in the Callahan family. Hitting me was the riskiest move you could make.’
Lex’s face was colored with rage. He was upset about the drama that unfolded during an important family meeting.
Gladys slapped James on his head before he could say anything. “You b*stard, kneel down right now.”
To their surprise, James raised his leg and gave Tommy a solid kick in the gut. It sent him two meters away, crashing into the couch and crying, in the most miserable sight.
“James…” Thea was getting scared now.
She wanted to kneel and apologize right after that, yet James held her up from the floor.
“Outrageous!” Lex, extremely mad, bolted up from his seat and ordered, “You’ve crossed the line. From now on, you’re no longer a son-in-law of the Callahan family! Leave.”
“Say sorry, please.” Thea pulled on James’s shirt hard.
“James, apologize now, you piece of trash.” Gladys would not stop with the scoldings. She got her share of the family business with her sweat and blood. She was not going to let James anger Lex by hitting Tommy, thus revoking their shares.
