Exasperated, Lex bellowed in rage, “Go get me Thea and her family now!” “Yes.” Tommy wore a smug look. He snorted deep down, “What will you do now, Thea?” The Callahans’ villa was not too far from Thea’s place. Tommy did not call. Instead, he showed up without warning. James was already home. Upon seeing their dejected looks, he said with a smile, “No worries. Yosef has confessed to it. He’s now on his way to the Callahans’ villa to admit his mistake. Soon, grandpa will be here.” Upon hearing this, Thea glanced at James. “W-What did you do to him?” James smiled, “Nothing much. I just gave him a scare. After threatening to throw him off the eighth floor, he spilled the beans. He even said he would go to the Callahans’ villa and tell them the truth.” “Haha, nice one, James.” “I feel much better now.” They rarely praised James. James, on the other hand, smiled faintly. Not long after, a knock came on the door. James said with a smile, “It has to be the Callahans.”
Gladys stood up and shouted, “Yosef, have a little conscience when speaking!”“It…It was Thea who forced me to do it. Then, she made James threaten me to frame Mr. Howard,” Yosef insisted that it was Thea and James who had threatened him.“You…” Gladys’ face darkened.Thea also felt deeply wronged.She had been devoted to the family but ended up in such a situation.James took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He understood that he was currently in Cansington, a city of peace, and no longer at the Southern Plains.“Enough!“Isn’t this enough? Thea, I can forgive you if you’ve made a mistake. After all, you’re still young and can’t resist temptations. As long as you recognize your mistakes and correct them, then you can be forgiven. However, what is it you guys were trying to do? Murder?” Lex shouted.“I didn’t!” Thea shouted back.Bang!Lex slammed the table and stood up abruptly. “We’ve already come to this point, but you still refuse to admit your mistake?”“Grandpa, I
“Mom, that’s absurd! How could it be me?” Thea teared up, feeling wronged. ‘It’s alright if Grandpa doesn’t believe me, but even my own parents are doubting me,’ thought Thea.“Mom, I trust Thea wouldn’t do such things. It must be Howard’s family pulling something sketchy,” said David.Alyssa nodded. “I agree. Our family has fifty percent of the family business’ shares, and Thea reclaimed the executive chairman position. Howard has always been in control of the family business, so how could he possibly be willing to give it up?” “Ha,” Gladys sighed.Initially, Gladys thought they were about to have a good life and never expected so many things to happen. “Am I really not fated to be a rich wife in this lifetime?”“How about we start our own company? With Thea’s capabilities, we can surely make a name for ourselves in the capital of medicine, Cansington,” James suggested.“Easy for you to say. Do you know how much you need and how difficult it is to start a company?” Glayds s
James was left with no choice.The family was unwilling to improve themselves and just wanted to sit back to enjoy success.Knock, knock, knock!“David, go open the door,” said Gladys.David was not in the mood, so he glanced at Alyssa beside him. “Babe, you go get it.”Alyssa was lazy to get up and glanced at James. “You go, James.”James was depressed about their behavior.The whole family was so lazy. However, he did not say anything and went to open the door.At the door stood an elderly man in his 70s or 80s. He dressed very simply and was carrying a few bottles of good wine.“W-who are you?”James glanced at the man standing outside the door with curiosity on his face.“Y-you must be James. I’m Thea’s granduncle, Trevor Callahan.” “Oh, come inside.” James invited Trevor into the house.The whole family’s faces darkened as soon as they saw Trevor entering the house.“What’re you doing here?” Gladys asked coldly.“Gladys.” Trevor approached with the good wine bottle
Gladys was also tempted by his words.David said, “James, do you know how inferior the Pacific Group is to Eternality? Even though it is a big manufacturing factory, Granduncle already said it is on the brink of shutting down. Not only can’t he receive new orders, but the company is also in ten million debt. It won’t be that easy to take over, right? Plus, Pacific is Granduncle’s lifetime work. He might not sell it even if you offered him a huge sum.”Benjamin nodded. “That’s right. Besides, do you even have money?”“Money won’t be a problem. I’ll find a way to get it,” James said plainly.Gladys was already tempted. They would definitely be able to earn money if they managed to raise enough funds to take over Pacific Group. It had complete human resources and equipment to continue running. On top of that, Thea had connections with Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals. Thus, they would surely be able to receive orders.It was much better than enduring the Callahans’ unf
“Granduncle, shall we go through the transfer procedure now?” Thea looked at Trevor.“Alright, alright, but… Thea, do you have the money?” Trevor’s excitement gradually calmed down, and he asked uncertainly.“You aren’t teasing me, right?”Thea glanced at James. “Give me the card.”James immediately took out his Black Dragon Card.“How much money is on it?” asked Thea.She knew that James went to the military court and was expelled because he messed with some money.Thus, she had no idea how much money he had inside the card.“It’s not a lot. Probably about two hundred million?” James stated a very conservative figure.Two hundred million was just enough to solve Thea’s current problems.One hundred million as acquisition funds for the company and one hundred million as capital.He did not want to scare Thea by saying a higher figure.“By the way, the card doesn’t even have a number, so how are you supposed to transfer the money?” Thea glanced at the Black Dragon card doubt
Calvin Oswald was a Cansington local and was naturally aware of Thea from Eternality. ‘Hasn’t Lex broken ties with Trevor already? So why is Thea here?’ Calvin wondered in his heart.He had gone to great lengths to acquire the Pacific Group.He agreed to lend the money after checking Pacific Group’s background. Pacific Group was almost his, but Thea suddenly showed up now.“Y-you must be Thea from Eternality?“Hello, Ms. Callahan. I’m Calvin from the Oswalds.” Calvin stood up and stretched his hand to greet Thea with a smile.“Hmm?”Thea glanced at him, and her beautiful face was full of indifference.Calvin pulled back his hand in embarrassment and said with an awkward smile, “Ms. Callahan, you’re not here to lend money to the Pacific Group, right?”“What do you mean ‘lend money’? We’re here to purchase and take over the Pacific Group,” said James.“What?”Larry’s expression changed when he heard this, and he shouted, “Dad, are you really selling the Pacific Group?” “I’m
The transfer process was smooth.Trevor had asked his secretary to draft up a transfer contract, while James logged into his online banking on the spot and transferred 100 million to Trevor’s personal account instantly.At the same time, James also transferred another 100 million to the company’s account as capital funds.After the transfer was successful, they signed the agreement.Trevor seemed to have grown older in an instant. He looked at Thea and patted her shoulder. “Thea, I’m leaving the Pacific Group in your hands. I wasn’t able to bring it to greater heights, but I hope you can lead it to glory in the future,” said Trevor.“Don’t worry, Granduncle. I’ll definitely lead Pacific Group to glory,” Thea vowed and reassured Trevor.“By the way…”Larry suddenly remembered and turned toward Thea to inform her, “The company employees are making a fuss at the factory and have shown up with a dozen trucks. They’re threatening to sell the factory’s equipment if they don’t receiv
