He looked at James with an expression that said, ‘You’re just a nobody in the Callahan family. Hittingme was the riskiest move you could make!
Lex’s face was colored with rage. He was upset about the drama that unfolded during an importantfamily meeting
Gladys slapped James on his head before he could say anything.
“You b*stard, kneel down right now.”
To their surprise, James raised his leg and gave Tommy a solid kick in the gut. It sent him two metersaway, crashing into the couch and crying, in the most miserable sight.
“James…” Thea was getting scared now. She wanted to kneel and apologize right after that, yet Jamesheld her up from the floor.
“Outrageous!” Lex, extremely mad, bolted up from his seat and ordered, “You’ve crossed the line. Fromnow on, you’re no longer a son-in-law of the Callahan family! Leave.”
“Say sorry, please.” Thea pulled on James’s shirt hard.
“James, apologize now, you piece of trash.” Gladys would not stop with the scoldings. She got hershare of the family business with her sweat and blood. She was not going to let James anger Lex byhitting Tommy, thus revoking their shares.
“He isn’t worth my apology,” James said calmly.
“You…” Lex was shaking and panting from anger.
“Grandpa, please calm down.” Megan held Lex and patted his back to soothe him.
“Don’t waste your energy on a lowlife like him. Let’s just make him leave. He must’ve also beenenabled by Benjamin to act with such disrespect.”
“Yeah,” someone agreed, “Benjamin thinks he’s all that after getting his 10%. He isn’t respecting you atall. He might be telling people that he’s the head of the family now.”
Gladys looked like she was to explode with anger. She hated James to death.
Benjamin, throughout all of this, kept quiet at the side of the room as if it had nothing to do with him.
“Thea, this place isn’t worth us staying. Let’s leave together.” James pulled Thea’s hand, trying toleave. However, Thea was on the verge of crying.

This time, she screamed, “James, is it that hard for you to apologize for your mistakes? You’re asoldier, not a big shot!”
