“But I don’t even know him.”James smiled. “Hmm, I have no idea what’s all this about then.”“Who cares who he is? Let’s eat. Oh, wait… Let me take a few pictures and post them up. My followers would go crazy!” David took his phone out and started snapping pictures of everything.Soon, the food arrived.Beautiful waitresses presented course after course.Whether in terms of presentation, taste, or smell, the food served was extremely appetizing.The tables were soon full of delicious food. Once all the food arrived, a group of women started dancing on the mini stage in front of the room.They were so attractive that Benjamin and David could not take their eyes off them.Throughout the meal, the Callahans were in a state of shock.There was so much food in the Diamond Room that they could not finish. In fact, they barely ate a fraction of it.“Oh no…” Gladys came to a realization after she finished eating, smacking herself in the forehead. “I heard that eating at the Diamond R

After finishing their meal at The Gourmand, the Callahans left in a daze.Belinda had ripped the bandages off Thea’s face. After leaving The Gourmand, James took Thea back to Common Clinic, where he started to prescribe some medicine for her again.Thea sat down, looking at the VIP card that was made of diamonds. Then, she looked at James, who was absorbed in his task. She was dazed. Whatever happened today still felt surreal. She did not know Bryan Grayson.Yet Bryan Grayson had given her a diamond card.The diamond card had several privileges, including a ninety percent discount and three free chances to dine in The Gourmand every month. How was it different from eating for free?Soon, James had come up with a concoction.“Thea.”“Yeah?” Thea jerked back to reality.James said, “Come on. Let’s apply some medicine to your wounds. I’m sorry for what happened today. You only got humiliated because I left. I promise it won’t happen again.”“It’s okay.” Thea was used to it. She

Thea stood in front of the mirror, looking at her perfect face. She was shocked.James had told her over and over again that she would recover, but she was still surprised.His medical skills were nothing short of miraculous.“Jamie, you’re amazing. There are no scars at all even though my face was badly injured.”James smiled. “I can’t take credit for it. It was all Henry. He taught me everything I needed to know.”Thea touched her smooth face. “This formula will be so popular if the public learns of it. Can you imagine marketing this product at a beauty salon? Business would be booming!”James said, “Henry doesn’t care about fame and fortune. All he wants is to live an ordinary life.”Thea pressed her lips into a line. “How odd. How could he not like money?”Knock knock knock.Someone knocked on the door.“Thea, what are you doing? Your grandfather has called for a family meeting. He told us to be punctual. If he gets angry and revokes our shares because we’re late, I won’t
Chapter 38
Three generations of the Callahans and some of their more important relatives gathered in the foyer of the Callhans’ villa.The five military regions were being restructured. The Blithe King of the Western Border was dispatched to Cansington, assuming the role of the commander-in-chief of the five military regions. This sent Cansington and even the five military regions into a frenzy.The Blithe King’s succession ceremony was imminent. This time, the ceremony would be public. There were some seats available, but only the truly rich and powerful would be able to secure them.All the important families in North Cansington, Cansington, South Chyna, Ocean City, and Coastal Heaven were eyeing the seats. All of them wanted to be there.It was the ultimate symbol of wealth and power.Attending the ceremony would indicate that they were truly powerful.According to rumors, the Blithe King’s succession ceremony would be held the next day.It was also speculated that only a hundred seats

It was also Thea who put the Callahans in extreme danger last time.Howard slammed his hand on the table and growled angrily, “Benjamin, this is too much. How can you be late?! Do you think you’re greater than us now that you have the family shares? Do you think we deserve to wait for you?”“I’m sorry, Howard,” Benjamin’s head hung low as he apologized.Thea came over and said, “Howard, it was me who caused the delay. It’s not my dad’s fault.”Howard became even more furious. “Thea, don’t you understand our rules? Family meetings are of the utmost importance. Just because you have something with the CEO of the Celestial Group doesn’t mean you can ignore the rules.”“Yeah, because of you, we almost died at Trent Xavier’s hands.”“Thank god I wasn’t home that day, or else the Callahans would have perished.”“You jinx! You dare to ask for a 10% share after all that?”The Callahans talked over each other as they berated Thea’s family.“Enough,” Lex announced, finally stopping the

Tommy was the eldest grandson in the family. That was why everybody spoke up for him when he was attacked.In the heat of the moment, James became the public enemy, and so did Benjamin’s family.Once again, Thea was the target of the ugliest insults.There were requests for Lex to revoke Benjamin’s shares, too.Tommy was elated with all these people on his side.He looked at James with an expression that said, ‘You’re just a nobody in the Callahan family. Hitting me was the riskiest move you could make.’Lex’s face was colored with rage. He was upset about the drama that unfolded during an important family meeting.Gladys slapped James on his head before he could say anything. “You b*stard, kneel down right now.”To their surprise, James raised his leg and gave Tommy a solid kick in the gut. It sent him two meters away, crashing into the couch that made him cry in pain.“James…” Thea was getting scared now.She wanted to kneel and apologize right after that, but James grabbed

Nevertheless, James was a Black Dragon. To him, cowering to evil for survival was worse than being dead.Back when he was covered in wounds, almost defeated by the enemy, he did not kneel.When he married Thea and became the son-in-law of the Callahan family, he swore to never let Thea feel sad again.“He was the one who insulted Thea, so he should be apologizing,” James said while pointing at Tommy. “Thea had nothing to do with Alex. Alex only chose to work with the Celestial Group because he owes me a favor for saving his life on the battlefield.”James wanted to shield Thea from the insults, but he could not let them know his real identity.Everybody was shocked to learn the truth.James continued, “If you want an invitation to the Blithe King’s coronation ceremony, I can get one. However, I hope you will stop insulting Thea. Let’s go, Thea.”After that, he left with Thea’s hand in his, not even looking back.He knew as long as Thea was here, she would continue being the pun

Outside the Callahan mansion.“Enough.”Thea pulled away from James’s grip and stared him in the eyes. “James, are you done throwing your fit? This is my family. If my grandpa wants you to kneel, just do it. Why are you being so stubborn?”“Thea, I…”“Go.”Thea turned and walked back into the mansion without another word.James was dumbfounded. He was the Black Dragon. This was not something that should happen to him.However, for Thea’s sake, he chose to swallow all of it.He knew Thea valued her family above everything else. That was why he did not run after her when she left. Instead, he waited outside.He sat on the stairs outside the entrance, lighting a cigarette and taking out his phone. He made a call to Henry. “I want to meet the Blithe King.”The most he could do now was to get Thea an invitation.Only by doing so could he help to raise the Callahans’ social status and make Thea happy.Soon, Henry called back. “James, the appointment is made. The Blithe King wants
