“N-no.” Thea blushed. There were so many people around them, how could she say yes? Quincy felt atwinge of jealousy watching them. She was jealous of Thea for having a loyal husband that was alwaysbeside her.
The crew made it back to the villa.
Thea wanted to have lunch at the villa before she went back but a phone call from home derailed herplans.
She was told the Xenoses were attacking the Callahans. This morning, the court froze all theCallahans’s financial assets and evicted them from their mansion. Their mentioned was repossessedand was to be auctioned off.
Thea related the news to James. James frowned.
“Why is this happening? Didn’t you pay all your debts to the Xenoses? Why are they coming after usnow?” Thea shook her head, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I offended Quay yesterday? It mighthave given him an excuse to act against us now.”
Decisively, James said, “We have to go check it out.”
Thea went toward the crowd. James walked to Zion Lawson with a smile, “Zion.”
“Oh, it’s you, James… Flustered, Zion stood up and asked, “Is there anything wrong?”
James gave him his number and patted him on the shoulder, “I have to go back to Cansington. If youhave any troubles, call me.”
After that, he turned and left.
He and Thea rushed back to Cansington.
At Thea’s home. Many people gathered here. Including Howard’s and John’s families. Thea asked,“Grandpa, why is this happening? Why are the Xenoses attacking us?”
Lex sighed tiredly. Thea looked at Howard.
Howard did not speak a word.
“What is happening? Can someone please tell me?” Thea was getting anxious. Lex finally broke thesilence, “The Watsons put us in this mess. When we were trying to save ourselves, Tommy somehowgot into contact with the Xenoses and borrowed 500 million. This turned out to be a trap. Now that weowe 500 million in debt to the Xenoses, they sued us and froze our accounts. The court took away allour cars, and houses.”
The Callahans sat with tightened lips and white knuckles. Gladys quipped, “Dad, our house is small.Why are all these people here?”
She came here to blow off some steam, but their current situation was the only thing holding her backfrom yelling at people. James did not expect the Xenoses to act this fast.
He had just met with Quay Xenos yesterday; he wasn’t targeting the Callahans then.
James asked Thea, “Thea, do you have money on your card?”
Thea shook her head. “No, I used all of it to pay the debts.”
“Mom, how about you?” James turned to Gladys. “Me neither,”
Gladys said, “I had a few million before, and all of that went into helping Thea with the debt.”
James looked around at everybody in the house, and he said, “I have some money on mine. Go find aplace to settle down for now. After the medical convention, I will help the Callahans rise from the ashes.By then, the Oceanic Conference, the Watsons, the Xenoses, or the five provinces… they’ll all amountto nothing.”
“James, can you get a grip on the reality of our situation for just a second!?” Gladys stood up in a fit ofrage and yelled, “We’re all in the same boat. Where the hell would you get the money to help us?”James replied, “This started because of Thea, and the whole family is in trouble because of everyone’sassociation with Thea.”
As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on Lex.
“Grandpa, I will transfer one million to you. Find a place to stay in the meanwhile. I will deal with theWatsons and the Xenoses.”
