Outside the Callahan mansion.
“Enough.”
Thea pulled away from James’s grip and stared him in the eyes. “James, are you done throwing your fit? This is my family. If my grandpa wants you to kneel, just do it. Why are you being so stubborn?”
“Thea, I…”
“Go.”
Thea turned and walked back into the mansion without another word.
James was dumbfounded. He was a Black Dragon. This was not something that should happen to him.
However, for Thea’s sake, he chose to swallow all of it.
He knew Thea valued her family above everything else. That was why he did not run after her when she left. Instead, he waited outside.
He sat on the stairs outside the entrance, lighting a cigarette and taking out his phone. He made a call to Henry. “I want to meet the Blithe King.”
The most he could do now was to get Thea an invitation.
Only by doing so could he help to raise the Callahans’ social status and make Thea happy.
Soon, Henry called back. “James, the appointment is made. The Blithe King wants to meet you in person, so you say when.”
“Night time, Central Garden.”
“Sure, I’ll call him right away.”
After the call, James waited outside of the mansion as the family meeting continued for another hour.
When the Callahans came out of the mansion after the meeting, Thea’s family followed too.
They were all obviously upset. Gladys kept on criticizing James, saying that Thea should divorce him.
Among them, David was the angriest because he was the confirmed heir of his father’s shares. James’s fiasco cost them half of their shares, which was tens of millions lost for David.
