Yosef, Charlie, and seven or eight gangsters were taken away.“J-James.”Before the policemen left, he looked at James and asked respectfully, “M-May I ask how would you like us to investigate the Callahans?”This policeman was the head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department.His name was Wyatt Jeremiah.Before coming, he was aware of James' identity and knew he was the Callahans’ son-in-law. However, he did not know of James’ other identities.One thing he knew was that an ordinary person would not be treated respectfully by the Blithe King’s subordinate.He was not confident in how he was supposed to investigate the Callahans, so he inquired.“After the investigations, those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail, and those who deserve to be fined should be fined,” said James.“Understood.” Wyatt nodded.“I’ve troubled you again, General Highsmith. I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”James waved his hand and turned to leave.At the same time, at the
After the people left, Tommy immediately went to the box containing the money, took out the stack, and counted them. He scrutinized them and shouted, “Grandpa, the money is real.”Lex was still trying to figure out who was this Mr. Caden, and why he was so generous.Tommy put down the money and walked toward Lex. Then, he said, “Grandpa, the only women not married in the Callahans are Megan and Yzabella from Uncle’s side. However, Yzabella already has a boyfriend, and he isn’t named Caden either.”“Yeah, this Mr. Caden didn’t even state whose hand in marriage was he asking for and sent so many betrothal gifts?” Lex nodded and said.“It must be for me. I’m so much prettier than Yzabella. This mysterious Mr. Caden is surely not interested in her. He is definitely asking for my hand in marriage,” Megan exclaimed and reacted in excitement.“Hmm.”Lex pondered for a while.Among the unmarried women of Callahans, Megan was the most outstanding one, and he also agreed that the gifts mu
James returned home.However, the family was not at home, and he did not bring his keys when he left.He was not in the Callahans’ family group chat, so he did not know they were headed to the Callahans’ villa.He phoned Thea.Thea had gone to Longevity Pharmaceuticals and asked Yuna for some orders.She was on her way home after checking the messages in the group chat.“A mysterious Mr. Caden?“Luxurious betrothal gifts?”Thea was taken aback after seeing the gifts Tommy had posted in the family group chat.It made her think of someone for some reason.The ghost-masked man.Suddenly, her phone rang.She recollected herself and answered the phone, “What’s wrong darling?”“Thea, where are you? There’s no one at home, and I didn’t bring my keys, so I’m stuck outside right now.”“I’ll be home in half an hour.”“Okay.”James hung up the phone.Then, he waited at the door.Half an hour passed by quickly, and a beautiful, fairy-like woman dressed in a casual dress appeared
Lex, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyes and glanced at James. “A-Are you really the one who sent them?”James nodded. “Of course.” “Lies! How could you have so much money?” Tommy shouted.“Stop being so shameless, James. Just because your surname is Caden doesn’t mean it’s from you!” Gladys also scolded him.“That’s right. The other party never stated who it was for. Plus, Thea is already married, so it's impossible to be for her. This Mr. Caden must be interested in me,” said Megan.Lex was incredibly uncertain about who the gifts were from. The delivery person did not say who it was for and only said it was from Mr. Caden.“Thea, do you know of any rich man that goes by Mr. Caden?” Lex glanced at Thea and asked.“I-I do.” Thea was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.Many people turned to Thea after hearing her reply.“W-Who is this man?” Lex stood up and asked excitedly.James glanced at James and hesitated.She did not know whether she should say it or
“Dad, are you sure the gifts were sent by Mr. Caden and not Mr. Zavier?” Gladys asked again.She still felt that it was Zavier who had sent the betrothal gifts and not the one whom Thea had saved ten years ago.Lex smoked his tobacco and nodded. “Yes, it was indeed Mr. Caden. It seems it must be that man from the Cadens that Thea had saved ten years ago. These gifts are for Thea.”“I-I can’t accept them,” Thea hurriedly rejected.“Of course, we’re going to keep them! Why not?” David stood up immediately and picked up the limited Ferrari sports car keys inside the gift box.“It doesn’t matter whether it’s Mr. Caden or Mr. Zavier who sent it. It belongs to our family if it’s for Thea,” said David.“What’re you doing? Put it down! We haven’t figured it out yet! How could it be for Thea? It’s surely for Megan!” Tommy reprimanded.“Nonsense! It’s for Thea! We’re going to take them with us!” Gladys shouted.“You’re the one who is spouting nonsense! Who doesn’t know that Thea is marri
This was not too bad either. “Honey, you have to believe me.” “I believe you.” James looked Thea in the eye and said, “It’s my honor to have married you. Whatever the outcome is, I won’t blame you.” “Sigh,” Thea sighed deeply. Soon, Newton arrived. He arrived at the Callahans’ residence in just half an hour. Knock! Knock! Knock! Just as they were in a heated argument, knocks sounded from the other side of the door. A Callahan answered the door. Newton entered alongside Serena. Upon seeing the visitors, Lex immediately stood up without much thought. The rest of the Callahans followed suit. With a puzzled look, Lex walked toward them with his cane. “W-Who are you?” Newton was unrecognizable. Wearing a black suit, he exuded an air of elegance. On the other hand, Serena was glamorous in her attire. They saw James. However, following James’ instructions, they said nothing. Newton spoke, “I’m from Majestic Corporation.” Upon hearing this, their hearts sk
With the cops at the doorstep, Howard and Tommy freaked out. Lex stepped forward and glanced at Wyatt. As the patriarch of the Callahans, he had heard of him. “Mr. Jeremiah, could this be a misunderstanding? How could they have committed a professional crime? What have they done?” Wyatt glanced at James. James took a step forward and said, “It was me who reported them to the authorities.” “You?” They fixed their gaze on James. Tommy burst into a fit of rage. “James, you piece of trash! You’ve been leeching off the Callahans since the beginning. How dare you call the cops on me! And on what charges? Just what did I do?!” Howard said coldly, “This isn’t over until you give me an explanation.” Thea pulled at James and questioned, “James, what are you doing?” Everyone stared coldly at James, their gaze filled with hatred. What was he thinking, calling the cops? James turned to face them and replied coldly, “I trust Thea. She wouldn’t do anything that brought shame
“Forget it.” Lex lightly waved. “Lex, you can’t just ignore this,” Jolie cried out, weeping. “Howard and Tommy have been taken by the police. Even if they did something wrong, how could James call the cops? This is a family affair, after all.” “A family affair?” James said coldly, “Is framing Thea considered a family affair? Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Would you still call it a family affair if people had died?” “You…” Her face livid, Jolie pointed at James and rebuked him, “Who do you think you are? This is the Callahans’ residence. What makes you think you have the right to speak?” “That’s right. You’ve pushed it too far.” “How could you call the cops?” “Why can’t you just sit down and talk this through? It’s nothing serious, after all. Now that the police have arrested them, what should we do if word got out?” “Damn you, James!” The Callahans reprimanded James and Thea, blaming everything on them. Though David was delighted, he believed James had c
