Chapter 228
James was left with no choice.
The family was unwilling to improve themselves and just wanted to sit back to enjoy success. Knock,knock, knock! “David, go open the door,” said Gladys. David was not in the mood, so he glanced atAlyssa beside him. “Babe, you go get it.” Alyssa was lazy to get up and glanced at James.
“You go, James.” James was depressed about their behavior. The whole family was so lazy. However,he did not say anything and went to open the door. At the door stood an elderly man in his 70s or 80s.He dressed very simply and was carrying a few bottles of good wine.
“W-who are you?” James glanced at the man standing outside the door with curiosity on his face. “Y-you must be James. I’m Thea’s granduncle.” “Oh, come inside.” James invited Trevor Callahan into thehouse.
The whole family’s faces darkened as soon as they saw Trevor entering the house. “What’re you doinghere?” Gladys asked coldly. “Gladys.” Trevor approached with the good wine bottles and placed themon the table. “Take it away. We don’t want it,” Gladys said very agitatedly. James was confused whenhe noticed the whole family had bizarre expressions.
‘When did Lex have a younger brother? How come I’ve never seen him before, even after being in theCallahans for so long?’
“Thea…”

Trevor noticed Thea was also present and immediately looked at her with hope. “Thea, I came becauseI’ve really no other choice. You’re Enternality’s chairman right now and have the greatest authority. My
manufacturing factory is about to go bankrupt, and I cannot take any new orders. I’m also in more thanten million dollars of debt to loans and owe millions in employee salaries.”
He knelt on the ground while speaking. “1-1’m begging you, please? For the sake of a family member?Please help Pacific Group.”
Thea stood up and supported Trevor, who was kneeling on the floor. “Granduncle, what’re you doing?Get up quickly.” “Thea, what’re you doing? Have you forgotten what Grandpa said? He said to neverspeak to Trevor again!” David stood up and scolded her.
Thea looked helpless.
She glanced at Trevor and said, “Granduncle, I can’t help you. Let’s say that I’m no longer Eternality’schairman. Even if I were the chairman, I wouldn’t have the courage to help you either.”
Trevor took a few steps backward after hearing this. He would never throw away his pride to beg Theaif not because of his desperate situation. He left with disappointment. “Is that really your granduncle,Thea? Why haven’t I seen him before?” asked James. “He is indeed my granduncle. However, abouttwenty years ago, he clashed with my Grandpa and left Eternality. Afterward, he established PacificManufacturing by himself. When they split up, my grandpa said he was breaking ties with mygranduncle. After that, both families never communicated with each other for years.”
“I see.”
James did not expect the Callahans had such a history. “That’s enough, Thea. Ignore him. The old manwould be furious if he found out about this. You’ve no idea how fiercely those two old men fought backthen,” said Gladys. “Thea, I think this is a great opportunity.” James said with a smile after giving it athought.
“Huh?”
Thea glanced at James. “Although I don’t know about your granduncle’s company, the Pacific Group, itis probably a large manufacturer that has been established for decades. It has complete humanresources and equipment. All we need to do is work on the capital and get some new orders torevitalize it. This would be much easier than starting from scratch.” novelbin
“Y-you mean…” Thea suddenly understood.
“You mean I should get some money and take over Granduncle’s company?”
“Nonsense! Our families have broken ties for life. Lex will take back our shares if he finds out aboutthis, Thea. It’s almost the end of the month, and our dividend will be distributed soon. Don’t cause anytrouble.”
James said, “Mom, do you still want to depend on Lex? It’s a matter of time before Howard’s familydoes something to get back the shares. Listen to me on this one. I’ll find a way to get the money. TheCallahans don’t treat Thea respectfully, so why don’t we use our connections to do it ourselvesinstead?”
