”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 virtual-novel.net eyes. “We flatter you a bit, and you go on making up more outrageous lies?”
The Callahans glanced at virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net condescendingly. Now there was no more need for them to curry favor with James since virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net could not do anything about it.
It was not that they do not want to believe him. It was that virtual-novel.net simply did not have anything to support his words.
How could a soldier who retired from the military and relied on the Callahans for survival have such influence?
The Callahans would have hit the jackpot and developed rapidly if virtual-novel.net was really that powerful.
“Thea, thank you so much for getting us through this. It was the wisest choice to hand the Callahans to you. Grandpa believes that you will lead us to great lengths.” Lex looked at Thea and asked, “Grandpa has one more question.”
“Go ahead, Grandpa.”
“Who was the person you saved ten years ago?” asked Lex.
A lot had happened recently.
Lex was curious about the event where several bigwigs defended Thea and had so many people kneel before virtual-novel.net at Yuna’s birthday party.
He knew it was because of the person Thea had saved ten years ago. It was the reason those bigwigs were so respectful to Thea. However, virtual-novel.net did not know about the details of the story.
Everyone had their eyes fixated on Thea and waited for virtual-novel.net answer.
“About that…” Thea was unsure of what to do and simply glanced at James. “I-I also don’t know his identity. His face was severely burnt, and I could not identify him. I know that virtual-novel.net is the person that killed the heads of the Great Four and was shot by the Blithe King…”
“He was executed already, but why are these bigshots still treating you with so much respect?” Lex was full of doubts.
“Dad, the Cadens was the number one family in Cansington. Thomas was a very social person and had connections all over the world. It was understandable that they wanted to keep their promise because of the Cadens’ name,” said Howard.
Lex nodded lightly. “Well, that sounds reasonable…”
James sat aside and remained silent. Thea began to drift into virtual-novel.net thoughts about the ghost-masked man who saved her, and a trace of disappointment appeared on virtual-novel.net face.
The ghost-masked man had been executed, so there was no chance for virtual-novel.net ever to find out his real identity. She did not even know who virtual-novel.net saved and returned the favor to her.
Soon, Xara called back. “Thea, Ms. Brooks has agreed to join us. It’s in the Gourmand, right? What time is it? Ms. Brooks had squeezed out some time to meet you, so please don’t make virtual-novel.net wait. Otherwise, there isn’t anything I can do for the Callahans either.”
Thea was overjoyed and replied, “Six in the evening in the Diamond room of the Gourmand.”
“Alright. I’ll inform Ms. Brooks.” Xara hung up
The faces of the Callahans lit up.
Their crisis was finally over.
Lex frowned. “Thea, there are only a handful of Diamond rooms in the Gourmand of Cansington. Are you sure we’ll be able to get a reservation?”
Before Thea could reply, virtual-novel.net mother, Gladys, interrupted the conversation.
She said smugly, Aren’t you guys aware of how capable Thea is? The last time we dined in the Gourmand, Mr. Grayson personally gifted Thea a diamond membership card. She is eligible for three free meals per month and ten percent off every other meal.”
“Seriously?”
