Thea had difficulty speaking.
Looking at Thea’s expression, Gladys knew something must have happened last night. Immediately, she ordered, “Spit it out.”
Thea came clean.
She told them everything that happened at dinner last night.
However, after the Watsons and Xenoses appeared, Xara led her away. She did not know what happened after that.
Everyone turned to look at James again after that.
Was he telling the truth? Did he actually beat the Watsons and Xenoses into submission?
Looking at how confused everyone was, James decided to make things easier for them. They would never believe him anyway.
“Alright, here’s what happened. A person named Zane Dawn helped.”
“Zane Dawn?”
Everyone was confused. Who was he?
“What?”
Lex seemed to come to a realization. “Zane Dawn? Zane from the north, the one everyone calls the Mining King?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” James said. “That’s the one.”
Lex glanced at James. “Zane is very important in the north. The Dawns are very influential. Even the Five Provinces Business Alliance are no match for them. Why would he help us?”
James looked gleeful. “It all comes back to me. I saved Zane’s daughter Cynthia yesterday by coincidence, so he helped me out to thank me in return.”
Everyone’s confusion cleared.
Lex let out a deep breath. “No matter what, we still owe you thanks for helping us get through this. You’re part of our family now. Anyone who mentions the divorce will get chased out of the house.”
“Grandfather, it’s only because of Thea that we got into trouble in the first place. Why should we thank James just because he saved some VIP’s daughter?”
“Exactly.”
“If it were not for them, we would not have suffered so much.”
All the Callahans were unhappy.
James just smiled.
He did not need their recognition or approval. He did not care what they thought about him either.
As long as Thea approved of him, it was enough.
