Henry continued watching the crowd.House of Royals, living room.Lex continuously greeted the bigwigs that showed up at his birthday party.“From the North Cansington Military Region, Chase Nolan has arrived and presented a gift of premium tobacco and alcohol.”A voice sounded in the living room.It was an announcement that shocked everyone present.The living room filled with hundreds of people fell into silence instantly, and everyone turned toward the door.Two people walked through the door.Both of them were dressed in uniforms. The one walking ahead was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who wore a military cap and had a shiny star medal on his shoulder.The person who followed behind him was evidently not someone of a low military rank.“He’s here. He’s here! My uncle has arrived with the general,” Brody exclaimed.He immediately approached Chase Nolan and straightened himself to give a formal military salute. “Sir! I’m the deputy captain of Noth Cansington’s speciali

‘Xara?‘The Xara who hooked up with the trashy live-in son-in-law of the Callahans?‘Who is she coming with?‘Scarlett?‘The Scarlett who bought the entire Transgenerational Group?’The noisy living room went silent in an instant.Scarlett’s name and reputation had been widespread throughout Cansington since she bought the Transgenerational Group.This was a figure at the pinnacle of the pyramid.What was a wealthy family right now?They were nothing in front of Scarlett.“What’s going on, Thea? Isn’t that Xara? Why is she with Scarlett? That’s the new owner and chairman of the Transgenerational Group,” David whispered. Thea shook her head. “How would I know?” Scarlett entered the room, and her beautiful eyes scanned the room.Those who met her eyes held their breath.Many people secretly discussed it.“Which big shot did the Callahans suck up to?“How is it possible for the new owner of Transgenerational Group to be here?”“I never expected the legendary Scarlett wh

Lex looked at Brody.Brody stood up and said, “Uncle, didn’t I call you yesterday about getting beaten up by the Xenoses?”Yoke nodded. “Yeah? I think that happened.”Brody did call him yesterday, but he was busy with some business and did not have to take care of such trivial matters, so he casually brushed it off.“Yeah. Then, Mr. Watson showed up with the perpetrators to ask for forgiveness and allowed us to use the House of Royals to organize the birthday party.”“Huh?”Scarlett looked at Gavin.Gavin was also confused.‘What's going on here?’He asked for forgiveness because the president called him, saying the general was angry.Since Chase was the only general present, he naturally assumed it was his doing.‘Was I wrong?’Scarlett's face darkened, and she glared at the bright decorations around the House of Royals. She glanced at Lex and uttered word by word, “I’ll treat it as if you’ve rented this place from me, Lex. It will cost thirty billion for one day. I’ll per

The general’s secretary, Yoke, almost passed out from fear after hearing the order from the Blithe King.However, fainting was not going to help him avoid his fate.To be able to climb so high in the ranks, he definitely had to use some unclean methods. The stuff that he did would surely be discovered if they ran a thorough investigation on him.Hundreds of people were gathered in the huge living room of the House of Royals, yet none dared to speak.The atmosphere was extremely tense.Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!Two big leather shoes made contact with the ground with loud thumping noises.Two fully-armed soldiers approached and took away the unconscious Yoke.Meanwhile, Chase, who had a star on his shoulder, turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.‘This…What’s going on?’Chase was confused about the whole situation. The first person he visited in Cansington was the Blithe King.Everything was fine before, but now the Blithe King had shown up at the House of Royals

He thought this would be the most glorious time of his life. He never expected it to be the most humiliating one instead.Worse still, the owner of the Transgenerational Group, Scarlett, was asking them to compensate 30 billion dollars.30 billion dollars?It was an enormous amount that the Callahans simply could not afford.“What exactly happened?”Lex was furious and smashed the furniture and some antiques in the house into pieces.There were dozens of people gathered in the huge villa, yet none of them spoke up.Everyone knew that if they spoke while Lex was furious, they would only get themselves in trouble.After venting his anger, Lex calmed down and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Gladys’ family and pleaded, “Gladys, you’re the only one capable of saving the Callahans now. Didn’t you say your niece is working in the Transgenerational Group? Didn’t she come with Ms. Brooks? You’re the only one who can help us now.”“I…”Gladys was on the fence.Meanwhile, Thea sat on th

James drove his electric motorcycle to the Callahans’ villa.As soon as he entered the house, he saw the antiques and paintings scattered on the floor.Lex sat on the sofa and smoked his tobacco. Apart from a few core members that were seated, everyone else was standing.James walked in and pretended to be surprised. “Oh? I thought you were having your eightieth birthday in the House of Royals? Why’re you all at home? What’s going on?”He saw Wendy sitting on the sofa while crying. “What’s the matter, Wendy? Where’s your deputy captain husband, Brody? Why don’t I see him here?”James said and deliberately looked around.The Callahans had very ugly-looking expressions.They were extremely provoked by James.However, they required James’ help and could not scold him.Tommy uttered softly, “James, don’t you have an unusual relationship with Xara? Since she’s working for Ms. Brooks now, could you get her to ask Ms. Brooks to forgive the Callahans?”“Huh?”James walked over and s

Everyone was shocked by James’ words.How did the live-in son-in-law have such influence? How was he able to get the Blithe King to appear in person?After being stunned for a while, they immediately made sense of the situation.James was using the opportunity to act as if he was really powerful after the incident.Who in Cansington was capable of getting the Blithe King to show up in person?Lex took a deep breath and said, “James, regardless of what happened, you’re part of the Callahans now. You can’t just watch us go down in the fire, right?”James raised his voice. “Didn’t you want to expel me from the Callahans? Didn't you want Thea to divorce me?”“N-not anymore.“You won’t be divorced. You’re still part of our family.”The family members began to try and persuade James.“Thea, what do you say?” Lex glanced at Thea and asked.Thea thought for a while and said, “As long as you can solve the current crisis of the Callahans, I’ll give you another chance.” James glanced

“Yes.”James did not deny it and boasted, “Scarlett’s House of Royal belongs to me, and I can go if I want. I also arranged for Xara to work in the Transgenerational Group. Scarlett will listen to everything I say.”Thea rolled her eyes.“We flatter you a bit, and you go on making up more outrageous lies?”The Callahans glanced at him contemptuously.His lies were outrageous.“By your words, that means Scarlett is your wife, and you invited the Blithe King to the House of Royals today?” Tommy said coldly.James glanced at Tommy. “Of course.” “What a liar.” Tommy snorted.The other family members looked at him condescendingly.Now there was no more need for them to curry favor with James since he was not the one who solved the family crisis.Xara was from the same family as Gladys, the Hills. What did it have to do with James?James had told the truth. The Callahans did not believe him, and he could not do anything about it.It was not that they do not want to believe him.
