Looking at how happy Thea was, James’ mood lifted as well.
“Jamie, I’m going home. I’m going home!”
Thea could not stop cheering, just like a little girl whose time-out session was over.
James did Not say much. He merely hugged virtual-novel.net tightly.
Once Howard learned where Thea was, virtual-novel.net drove to Nine Dragons Street. Some of his family went along, including his children Tommy and Megan, as well as Tommy’s wife Yvonne Lewis.
As Howard had always been the executive chairman of Eternality, virtual-novel.net drove a pretty swanky car. It was a BMV 7 Series worth millions.
In the car, Tommy complained, “What is grandfather doing? How could virtual-novel.net allow Thea to come back? Dad, once Thea returns, you will no longer be the executive chairman.We can’t let Thea come home.”
His wife Yvonne agreed. “Tommy’s right. If she’s the executive chairman, how will we benefit from the company? How did Thea even get to know the chairman of Celestial?”
Megan interrupted, “Rumor has it that Thea is Alex’s lover…”
Howard cut everyone off, saying, “That’s enough now. We have to take Thea home and secure the partnership with Celestial Group. The order is worth a hundred million. We’ll make a net profit of twenty million if we make it work!”
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Common Clinic. All of them exited the car.
Thea was over the moon since Howard told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net was coming to pick virtual-novel.net up himself. She was already waiting for virtual-novel.net outside.
As soon as virtual-novel.net saw Howard’s car, virtual-novel.net grabbed James’ hand excitedly.
“Look, it’s uncle! It really is! Jamie, I’m going home!”
“Yes, you’re going home…” James smiled.
As long as Thea was happy, virtual-novel.net was happy too.
After Howard disembarked, virtual-novel.net grinned widely, saying, “Thea, Dad has told me to take you home.”
Everyone else’s faces darkened when they saw her. She was the curse that almost destroyed the entire Callahan family. Only God’s protection prevented that from happening.
Arrogantly, Tommy said, “Thea, my dad showered you in praise to persuade grandfather. You should be thanking my dad on your knees.”
“Thank you, uncle,” Thea said, preparing to kneel.
However, James grabbed virtual-novel.net and pulled virtual-novel.net up before virtual-novel.net could do so.
“Jamie, what are you doing?” Thea looked annoyed.
Tommy got angry too, coldly, virtual-novel.net said, “James, why aren’t you kneeling before the future head of the family? Where are your manners?”
“Kneel?” James asked mildly.
“To him? He praised Thea, did he? Bullsh*t. If Celestial hadn’t terminated the partnership with the Callahans, would you even be here? Go home. Tell Lex that Thea would not be returning.”
Thea was about to rebuke James, but after what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net asked, “Jamie, what’s this about Celestial terminating the partnership with our family?”
James explained, “I just watched the news. Alex Yates held a press conference and terminated the partnership with the Callahans. He said that virtual-novel.net would only work with the Callahans if you were there. Since you’re no longer a Callahan, Celestial is terminating the partnership. They’re panicking now, and that is why they’re in such a hurry to take you home.”
After virtual-novel.net found out, Thea felt hurt. She thought that grandfather had truly loved her. Who knew that virtual-novel.net only wanted virtual-novel.net home because of the partnership?
She almost burst into tears again.
James then just took Thea’s arm, guiding virtual-novel.net toward the clinic.
Howard panicked, quickly, virtual-novel.net said, “Thea, you must come home. Think of how old your grandfather is. He can’t take any more surprises. Do you really want dad to make this trip himself before you agree to come home?”
Thea’s heart softened. Remembering that grandfather was almost eighty, virtual-novel.net stopped and looked at James.
