Female Novel
Chapter 476
James was not worried about the medical conference at all.
Getting the title of Asclepius was a piece of cake for him.
The only thing on his mind right now was to think of a way not to stand out too much.
James’ words calmed Thea down.
She had pinned all of her hopes on James. If James could not help navigate the Callahans through this
crisis, the family would be doomed. They would be consigned to mediocrity for the rest of their lives.
Night-time came.
The family was having dinner.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A knock came from outside.
James stood up and answered the door.
Lex, Howard’s, and John’s families were standing outside.
Seeing this, James frowned and asked, “What’s wrong, grandpa?”
“Sigh…” Lex sighed tiredly, “We’ll talk inside.”
“Please come in.”
James beckoned Lex to enter the house.
Seeing that the Callahans were here, Gladys’ face immediately turned sour.
“Have a seat, father.” Benjamin stood up and greeted Lex. He asked, “Have you eaten yet? Should I
ask James to get you some cutlery?”
“Cutlery?” Gladys remarked coldly, “There’s no way we can feed that many mouths.”
There were too many of them.
Howard’s and John’s families combined together for a total of around twenty people.
Lex took a seat. The others remained standing.
James asked, “Didn’t I lend you a million dollars? Why didn’t you go looking for a place to stay?”
Wearing a weary expression, Lex said dejectedly, “The Watsons and the Xenoses have prepared for
this. We’ve gone through many estate agencies, but upon hearing that we are the Callahans, theynovelbin
refused service to us. The same goes for hotels and the like.”
“It’s all because of you, Thea.” Megan pointed at Thea and shouted, “If not for you crossing the
Watsons, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place. You are such a blight on the family.”
Megan had long despised Thea.
All because of Thea, the Callahans were in a crisis. Her boyfriend broke up with her. She was forced to
move out of the Callahans’ villa and live on the streets. She could not even afford to take a hot shower.
Tommy chimed in, “B*tch! You think you’re so glamorous and all that just because Mr. Watson took a
liking to you? If you didn’t mess with the Watsons, this wouldn’t have happened!”
The other Callahans joined in.
They hurled their vitriolic words at Thea.
Thea hung her head in shame and remained silent.
She was well aware that it was because of her that things turned out this way.
“Enough!” James roared.
Tommy stepped forward and pointed at James, “You think we’re afraid of you, trash? You’re just a son-
in-law of the Callahans. What right do you have to speak to me like this?”
James stood up and slapped Tommy across the face.
Smack!
The sound was loud and crisp.
“You…!”
Holding his face, he pointed at James. He clenched his fists furiously and prepared for a fight, “I’ll kill
you!”
“Enough.”
Lex admonished him, “We’ve got enough trouble on our hands.”
Tommy stopped himself from hitting James and shot daggers at him.
James huffed and looked at the Callahans. “The Watsons and the Xenoses are definitely taking things
too far by trying to block the Callahans’ access to accommodation, but the Callahans are a big family.
You should have other relatives. Why don’t you stay over at their places? Why come knocking on our
door in the middle of the night?”
James’ irritation was rising.
Although this was the result of Thea’s actions, she had no other options. Besides, he had been
benevolent enough to give Lex a million dollars for their daily needs.
