“The Oswalds are the best.”
“That goes without saying. Their business, Grandeur Pharmaceuticals, is one of the biggest in Cansington. Colson’s father Stefon Oswald is a social butterfly. He has a lot of connections.”
“Thank god Colson is with us, or else we would never get an invitation.”
“Megan got herself the right boyfriend. Look at how he’s helping her family.”
The Callahans were flattering Colson, almost making him trippy. “It’s just a small contribution.”
Just when everybody was bathing in the celebratory mood over getting an invitation, James and Thea entered the house, followed by Gladys, Benjamin, David, and Alyssa.
Their presence made the atmosphere drop to a low.
Megan stood up, rather bothered. “What are you doing here?”
Thea called, “Megan, sis…”
Megan screeched, berating her, “Don’t regard me as your family.”
Lex’s wonderful mood was spoiled by seeing Thea’s family in his mansion, especially when he saw James, this arrogant son-in-law that dared to disrespect him. He was not even from his bloodline.
“Go away.” He pointed to the exit.
“Grandpa, James had his friends from the military request the Western border patrol to send us an invitation. I came to make sure if we have received it already.”
Everybody’s eyes were on Lex, waiting to watch how he responded.
“Huh…” Before Lex could even speak, Tommy talked over him, “You’re saying James made the Western border patrol send us this invitation? Are you even serious? This is clearly the Oswalds helping us, and Colson was the one who made all of this happen.”
“He’s right.” Megan sneered at James. “How can a small soldier like you be connected with the executives in the Western border patrol? You only came to take credit once the invitation is here. How shameless of you.”
