“Oh, what about grandfather? We could still talk to him!”
Thea, who was still crying, came to a sudden realization.
She tugged on James’ arm, saying, “Let’s talk to grandfather! He loved me the most when I was young. He would never cast me out. We can beg virtual-novel.net to take me in!”
She grabbed James, pulling virtual-novel.net behind her.
Looking at Thea’s tearful face, James’ heart twinged.
He said, “Calm down. Let’s go to the villa now and speak to him…”
“Yes. Let’s go now.”
Thea had just escaped Trent’s clutches. Coupled with being cast out of the family, virtual-novel.net was at risk of having a mental breakdown. Foolishly, virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net would be welcomed into the family again after talking to Lex at their villa. However, virtual-novel.net was the one who cast virtual-novel.net out in the first place.
James had no choice. He had to calm Thea down and ensure virtual-novel.net emotions were stable before deciding what to do next. He did not want to take virtual-novel.net hope away, so virtual-novel.net brought virtual-novel.net to the villa.
Soon, they reached the entrance of the villa.
Thea rang the doorbell and started pacing anxiously. The door opened after a while. It was Tommy, Howard’s son.
As soon as virtual-novel.net saw Thea, virtual-novel.net started yelling, “Thea Callahan, you jinx! You’re still alive? What are you doing, coming back here?”
Smack!
James slapped Tommy.
When Thea’s mom was scolding her, James restrained himself out of respect as virtual-novel.net was an elder. However, Tommy was in no position to rebuke Thea.
James’ slap was powerful, causing his face to redden immediately. He even spun around in a circle before falling to the ground. Tommy lost his senses for a few seconds. His ears started buzzing.
A few seconds later, virtual-novel.net collected himself and reacted.
Getting up and pointing at James, virtual-novel.net shouted, “How dare you hit me? I’ll kill you!”
Tommy raised his fist, ready to hit James.
“What’s this?” Lex approached, leaning on his cane.
He was wearing a blue suit.
Sternly, virtual-novel.net said, “Why are you causing such a ruckus? Is there no order in the house anymore?”
Tommy looked chagrined, grumbling, “Grandfather, James hit me. How dare he? After all, this is our home!”
On the other hand, Thea fell to virtual-novel.net knees, a pleading expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“Grandfather, please don’t cast me out.”
“You brat!”
Lex fumed when virtual-novel.net saw Thea. It was because of virtual-novel.net the entire family was almost wiped out.
He raised his cane with the dragon head, about to strike virtual-novel.net with it. At the last second, virtual-novel.net held back.
Pointing outside, virtual-novel.net roared, “Thea, you’ve been cast out of the family. You’re no longer a Callahan. Leave! I never want to see you again!”
Lex’s words were a shock to Thea. Thea crumpled on the floor, virtual-novel.net eyes welling with tears.
James helped virtual-novel.net up and guided virtual-novel.net away. Thea was in a state of shock.
After they left the villa, virtual-novel.net looked at James, starting to cry again. She felt like virtual-novel.net was the unluckiest woman in the world.
James hugged virtual-novel.net in an attempt to console her.
“Don’t cry. If you want to go home, I’ll come up with something. I promise that your family will be begging for your return before the end of the day…”
“Ah, my life is terrible!” Thea cried.
Over the past ten years, virtual-novel.net had been humiliated and ridiculed, but not once did virtual-novel.net cry. All virtual-novel.net repressed emotions came bubbling to the surface all at once.
Henry was following them at a distance. James gave virtual-novel.net a look and virtual-novel.net brought the car over. He helped a heartbroken Thea into the car.
They did not return to the House of Royals, but to Nine Dragons Street where Common Clinic was.
Once Thea exhausted herself from crying, virtual-novel.net fell asleep on the bed.
James went outside and called Alex.
“Alex, it’s me…”
“Ah, Dragon… Mister Caden…” Alex shivered in fear as virtual-novel.net answered
