At the Callahan residence…
Everyone gathered.
They all wore surly expressions.
Thea was still wearing the wedding dress that was worth thirty-eight million dollars.
She was seated on the sofa. Looking at the Callahans who were wearing grim expressions, she spoke, “Dad, mom, stop blaming James. He did it for my sake. Besides, we’re husband and wife. This is all my fault.”
Gladys stood up and slapped her across the face.
“Are you as dumb as James?”
“Do you not know who Zavier is? Do you still not know what kind of a man James is? He’s incomparable to Zavier. A single word from you could have chased James away. B-But, what have you done?!”
Gladys was frustrated at Thea.
That had been the closest she ever got to having an impressive son-in-law.
Her plans were ruined because of James.
Thea’s cheeks were reddened by the slap.
She covered her face and sobbed, “What does this have to do with me? This was David’s fault all along. If not for him stealing my money, this wouldn’t even have happened in the first place.”
“Talking back now?!” Enraged, Gladys lifted her hand.
Thea stood up and yelled, “That’s right! It’s his fault all along. Why do I have to clean up his mess?”
Displeased, David stood up and said, “Don’t blame this on me, Thea. If not for me, there’s no way you could’ve cozied up with the Watsons. Now, great! All my efforts are wasted because of James.”
James smoked his cigarette by the side.
He did not wish to be involved in the Callahans’ family affairs.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Knocks came from the door.
Benjamin went to answer the door.
It was the Watsons.
They were here to demand the betrothal gifts worth billions of dollars and the wedding dress Thea was wearing.
However, since Thea had worn the wedding dress, they did not wish to get it back. Instead, they demanded compensation for it.
