Stefon patted Colson’s back contentedly and said, “You’ve done well. Once we cozy up with theXenoses, we’ll surely rise through the ranks. We might even become one of the most powerful familiesin Cansington.”
Saying that, he turned to look at the Callahans, who were wearing grim expressions, “Which one of youhit my son?”
“It was me.” Montgomery stepped forward.
He was twenty-one years old and around 170 centimeters in height. Wearing a fierce expression on hisface, he spat it out.
“I was the one who did it, so don’t get the others involved. My name’s not Montgomery if I didn’t havethe balls to do that.” Colson looked at the security guards and ordered, “Break his legs.”
They nodded. They headed toward Montgomery while cracking their knuckles maliciously, “What areyou planning to do?” Lex stepped forth to stop them. “How could you do this in full view of everyone?”
“What are you doing, grandpa?” Tommy pulled Lex and said to him, “Look at the situation we’re in. Justlet Montgomery shoulder the blame. They won’t let us go otherwise.”
“You spineless b*stard!”
Lex yelled at him, “What did I teach you? We must stand united as a family. He was just standing up forMegan. Now that something bad happened, you are blaming it on him?” Stefon chuckled, “Joining ifyou want to get beaten up too. Anyway, let’s just beat the old man to a pulp.”
A security guard stepped forward and kicked Lex. Lex rolled across the ground. He collapsed to theground. He could feel a searing pain all over his body. No Callahan stepped forward.
Except for Montgomery. Clenching his fists, he charged forward howling, “How dare you hit mygrandpa?! I’ll kill you!”
“You can beat him up too,” Stefon ordered. The two security guards charged toward Montgomery.
He was no match for them. In an instant, he was pinned to the ground and beaten up. He groaned inpain.
The Callahans looked at each other. No one stepped forward to stop the violence.
Lex had gotten up. He sat on the ground and wept.novelbin
Montgomery was beaten half-dead and lay motionless on the ground. Then, he was coldly taken awayby the police. Stefon did not wish for things to get out of control. And so, he chose not to involve theother Callahans.
The Oswalds left.
The Callahans hugged each other and wailed. “What have we done to deserve this?”
“Why do this to us?”
“Grandpa, think of a way. Do we have to sleep on the streets tonight?” Lex could think of no other way.
“I-I will call James.”
Tommy refused angrily. “Are you dumb, grandpa? It was obvious James had set us up. Why do you stillbelieve in him?”
Megan chimed in, “That’s right. They must be laughing at us behind our backs.”
“James is not that type of person.” Lex shook his head. Although he was old, he was not senile. He hada good intuition when it came to people and knew there was more to James than it seemed
James was much better than his useless sons and grandchildren.
Ignoring their protests, he called James.
In a room of the Callahans’ residence…
