Chapter 482
Lex Callahan, a prideful man, had thrown his pride away for the Callahans. He humbled himself and kneeled before Colson, a man who was many years younger than him. He only wanted to protect his family. However, Colson only wanted to humiliate them Lex’s face was pale. The Callahans were silent. Only Montgomery remained unfazed. He was determined not to get the others involved in his fight. Stefon, the patriarch of the Oswalds, arrived with a few policemen close behind him. Although he was not a very influential man in Cansington, he was still famous around these parts. The Oswalds too had some power themselves. However, compared to the Watsons and the Xenoses, they were but a molehill in the face of a mountain. Hearing that Colson had gotten Quay Xenos’s favor, he hurriedly made his way here. “Dad.” Colson walked over to him. He had stuffed a tissue paper in his nostrils. The tissue was spotted with his blood. Stefon patted Colson’s back contentedly and said, “Y

James was getting ready to head to bed. Suddenly, the phone rang. He got off the bed and grabbed his phone from the table. Realizing it was Lex who called, he frowned. “Did something happen again?” He answered the call. “What’s wrong, grandpa?” Lex told James everything that happened. “Got it. Wait in front of Glorious Hotel. I’ll be there immediately.” James hung up the phone. His eyes were steely. Thea, who was lying on the bed, looked over at him. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” James said as he got dressed, “Something happened to Lex and the other. I’ll go have a look. You should sleep first.” “Let me go with you.” Thea prepared to get out of bed. James waved and said, “No need. I can go by myself. It’s nothing too serious.” “Alright then. Take care.” James nodded. After getting dressed, he left the house. He drove straight toward Glorious Hotel. At the same time, he called Scarlett. “What did I tell you, Scarlett?” Scarlett had just reache

Outside Glorious Hotel… Lex wore an anxious expression. So did John’s family. John approached James and pleaded, “James, since you were able to find accommodation for us at the last minute, is there any way you stop Montgomery from getting charged in court? He crossed an Oswald. In order to get a better standing with the Xenoses, the Oswalds broke his leg. His condition could deteriorate if he goes to prison.” “You really think he can help us, John?” Tommy wore a scornful look. It was not as if he had something personal against James. The man was simply a good-for-nothing son-in-law. What else could he do besides leech off the Callahans’ wealth? Megan chimed in to add fuel to the fire, “He wouldn’t have married into the family if he was truly capable of anything.” “That’s right. What were you thinking about relying on trash? There must be something wrong with your head.” Jolie joined along in putting down James. “John, what are you doing begging this loser for help?”

“One.” “Two.” Tommy grew more incensed as he heard Christopher count down. Even though he was doing nothing other than just standing on the nearby road, the staff of the Glorious Hotel had come to chase him away. “I’d like to see you try and chase us away..” He crossed his arms defiantly. He still thought his status as a Callahan conferred him some sort of impunity. “Three.” After counting to three, Christopher turned to the security guards. “Beat him to a pulp.” A dozen security guards armed with electric batons charged toward Tommy and descended upon the insufferably arrogant man. A few Callahans stepped forward in an attempt to defend him. However, they were beaten up too. James sat on a flight of stairs nearby smoking his cigarette. He paid no heed to the commotion. Tommy deserved it. It was about time he learned a lesson. Christopher grinned smugly at the sight of the Callahans being physically assaulted. The Watsons and Xenoses would be pleased to he
Chapter 486
Christopher did not expect Glorious Hotel to suddenly belong to Transgenerational Group. Somehow, the Callahans must have bribed someone inside Transgenerational Group to help them make arrangements for accommodation. Now that the top brass had found out, they were calling for a meeting. Tyron wanted him to be the scapegoat for this fiasco. Christopher’s career would be finished. “Mr. Woodrow, you have to vouch for me. I still have a family to feed.” Tyron patted Christopher’s back and assured him. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I’ll make sure you won’t starve to death. After this incident blows over, I promise to get you your job back.” Hearing this, Christopher sighed in relief. The management team of Glorious Hotel was waiting at the front door of the hotel. They were waiting for their boss’ arrival. Apart from the general manager, the rest of the management team was unaware that the hotel had been taken over by someone else. Soon, a business sedan arrived.

Scarlett’s face immediately twisted in anger. She walked over to him and slapped him hard across his face. Smack! Christopher could not retaliate. He hung his head and apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, Ms. Brooks. I wasn’t aware that the Watsons and the Xenoses had blacklisted the Callahans. If I had known, I wouldn’t have arranged the rooms for the in the first place.” Tyron made a small satisfied smile. Christopher had shouldered all the blame. Contrary to Christopher’s expectations, Scarlett began to give him an ear full. “Who cares about the Watsons and the Xenoses? I don’t give a damn about the Five Provinces Business Alliance! The Callahans are the VIPs of Transgenerational Group. Do you seriously think we’d comply with the Xenoses and Watson’s demands so easily?” “…” Christopher could only gape at Scarlett, shocked and speechless. Tyron was flustered at the realization. After a few seconds, Tyron walked over to Christopher and kicked him. He yelled sternly at

They were dumbfounded. They had just been thrown out in the most insulting and inhospitable manner. What was with this dramatic change in attitude? Was James responsible for this? Christopher walked over to Lex and slapped himself in front of the elder Callahan. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Callahan. This was all my fault. I had no idea you were a VIP of Transgenerational Group. If I had known, I wouldn’t have acted so disrespectfully..” Tyron, too, walked over and apologized, “This too was a mistake on our part. He has been fired.” Layla looked over at Tyron and said coldly, “You’re fired too.” “What?” Tyron was stunned. Then, he cried out, “Ms. Nora, this had nothing to do with me. This was all Christopher’s fault. All this while, I have dedicated myself to the company…” “Pack your bags and get lost.” Layla did not entertain his whining further. If this debacle was enough to get Scarlett Brooks to appear, it spoke volumes about the influence the Callahans had. This applie
Chapter 489
James drove toward the Oswalds’ villa. Cansington was in disarray, and various parties were involved behind it. It would be difficult to rescue Montgomery through his own connections. Additionally, he had no government contacts aside from Blithe King. As the commander-in-chief of the five armies, his lofty position was a coveted gem for many ambitious people. If he made even a single mistake, he could be brought down. There was only one way to save Montgomery. He just had to make the one who sent him to prison get him out. Soon, he arrived at the Oswalds’ villa. It was almost three in the morning. However, the lights were still on the second floor of the villa. James got off his car and approached the outer perimeter of the villa. Putting his palms against the wall, he leaped two meters into the air and into the villa’s surroundings. Then, he climbed the wall to the second floor and reached the balcony of the room which still had its lights on. In the room… Colson
