“Forget it.” Lex lightly waved.

“Lex, you can’t just ignore this,” Jolie cried out, weeping. “Howard and Tommy have been taken by thepolice. Even if they did something wrong, how could James call the cops? This is a family affair, afterall.”

“A family affair?” James said coldly, “Is framing Thea considered a family affair? Fortunately, nothingserious happened. Would you still call it a family affair if people had died?” “You…”

Her face livid, Jolie pointed at James and rebuked him, “Who do you think you are? This is theCallahan residence. What makes you think you have the right to speak?” “That’s right. You’ve pushed ittoo far.” “How could you call the cops?” “Why can’t you just sit down and talk this through? It’s nothingserious, after all. Now that the police have arrested them, what should we do if word gets out?”

“Damn you, James!”

The Callahans reprimanded James and Thea, blarning everything on them.

Though David was delighted, he believed James had crossed the line. It was a family affair, after all.Getting the authorities involved would only make matters worse.

Thea pulled at James and whispered, “James, withdraw the case. If word gets out, things won’t lookgood for the Callahans. Besides, I’m perfectly fine now. Why don’t we reconcile with them?”

Thea was grateful James had stood up for her.

However, at the end of the day, the people arrested were still her relatives.

James replied, “The relevant authorities have begun investigating the matter. It’s too late to withdrawthe case now. Besides, if they’re proven to be innocent, they’ll be released in no time. If they’re foundguilty, however, it’s only natural for justice to be served.” James did not plan to let them off the hookthat easily.

Doing so would only give them allowance to execute worse plots in the future. “Leave, now. I don’t wantto see your faces…” Lex pointed at the door. Gladys took the hint and looked at David and Benjamin.“What are you standing there for? Hurry, get those betrothal gifts out of here.”

“Got it.”

The two came to their senses and quickly obeyed her orders.

Gladys looked at James and scolded, “James, don’t just stand there. Help them out.” “Oh.”

James nodded and headed toward the gifts. He closed one of the boxes, carried it on his shoulder, andwalked out. Meanwhile, the rest of the Callahans looked at them with grim expressions.

As the gifts were numerous, they took some time carrying them home. At the Callahans’ villa, Johnasked, “What should we do now, father? Eternality is expanding its business, while Howard’s beenarrested. Meanwhile, Thea has taken over Pacific Group. We desperately need someone to take thelead.”

“John, I’ll leave the company’s business to you for now.”

“Yes.”

John nodded.

After all these years, it was finally his turn to call the shots.

“Megan.” Lex turned to look at her.

“The Oswalds have broad connections. Ask them if they can bail Howard and Tommy out of prison.” “I’llcall Colson this instant and have him come over.” The Callahans were all busy trying to handleHoward’s and Tommy’s arrest.

Meanwhile, Thea’s family was smiling from ear to ear. They formed a circle around the betrothal gifts,which were worth a fortune. “Thea, isn’t this limited-edition Ferrari the one we saw during the autoshow? I’ll give you my Maserati. In exchange, this Ferrari will be mine. By the way, mom, we shouldmove into a new villa that’s at least a thousand square meters. Hehe, owning a villa at Goodview VillaDistrict is a sure sign of power and wealth.”

David was smiling from ear to ear. Thea disagreed with him. “We can’t accept this. I’m returning them.”Smack!

Gladys smacked her head and scolded, “Are you dumb? This is free!”
