Gladys approached him with her hands on her hips, saying, "Be honest, or don't ever think about setting foot in this house again."

James looked resigned. "Mom, it was nothing. The police made a mistake. If I had done something wrong, do you think they'd release me after just one night?" "Are you sure?" Gladys still had her reservations.

She was terrified when she saw what happened yesterday.

Confidently, James said, "I promise everything's okay. Also, a lot is going on at Medical Street today. Do you want to come, mom?"

"I'll pass."

How could she be interested after this?

So much had happened recently, and David was still in the hospital.

"Come in and we'll talk about it." Thea pulled James into the house and shut the door behind him.

James entered and sat on the couch. He looked at Benjamin. "Dad, do you want to go?"

Benjamin was intrigued.

Rumor had it this particular medical conference was even more happening than usual. There were many famous doctors in attendance, including international ones. He glanced at Gladys and shook his head. "I don't think so."

James did not say anything else. He looked at Thea and said, "Darling, go get changed. We'll head down to Medical Street."

"Okay."

Thea went to her room.

James took a cigarette out and started smoking again.

Knock knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door again.

Gladys said, "James, go get the door."

James obeyed.

When he saw Lex, he could not help asking, "Grandfather?"

Lex walked in and held onto James' hand tightly, his face full of gratitude. "James, thank you. Thank you!"

James smiled.

Gladys walked up to them, confusion clear on her face. "Dad, what's going on? It's too early to say thanks. What did this piece of trash do?"

Emotionally, Lex said, "The court just called. They have lifted the ban on our villa, and all our assets have been released. We don't even have to pay our debt anymore!"

"Oh."

Gladys still looked confused. She looked at James, asking, "And what does this have to do with James?"

Lex was stunned. "It's all thanks to James, isn't it?"

"Is it?" Gladys looked at James.

James rubbed his nose and nodded. "That's right."

Howard, John, and the rest of the family had come with Lex as well.

None of them believed that James had solved all their problems.

If James were that powerful, the Watsons and Xenoses would not have come after them.

Tommy cut James a glare, looking disdainful. “James, stop boasting. If you solved our problems, then let me ask you. How did you do it?" Everyone looked at James.

James chuckled. "I beat the Watsons and Xenoses up. Pain is a great motivator. All I did was threaten them with death if they came after you." As he spoke, he made a few gestures.

“Ha ha ha... I did that, and that, and all the bodyguards went down."

"Hmph."

Tommy looked disdainful.

He did not believe a word out of James' mouth.

The Watsons and Xenoses were influential, powerful families. There was no way they'd be afraid of James.

No one believed James.

Lex had assumed that James solved their problems since he had taken care of their accommodation and Montgomery. Now that he thought about it, maybe James had nothing to do with this at all. "Grandfather, uncles..."

Thea emerged from her room with a fresh change of clothes. She asked, "Why are you here?”

James smiled. "The Watsons and Xenoses have let us go. The court has also reinstated all your businesses and freed all your assets. Your problems are officially solved."

"Ah, really?"

Thea was overjoyed. Happily, she asked, "What happened? How could this have been resolved in a night?"

Gladys asked, "Thea, where did you go with James last night, and what did you do?"

"Uh..."
