The Callahans gathered.
“Thea, have you thought of anything yet? The court’s summon is already here, and the trial will begin tomorrow morning. The Xenoses are getting the money back via legal means.” David wore a worried expression.
Thea had been out for the whole day. He wondered if favonovel.com had gotten the money.
Thea’s face was pale. Her exquisite face was devoid of emotions. Like an emotionless robot, favonovel.com sat there unmoving.
Slam!
At that moment, the Callahans’ front door was kicked open.
Maximus along with his men stormed into the house. Appalled, the Callahans stood up. Maximus brought his men in and sat on the sofa.
Meanwhile, the Callahans stood by the side with horrified expressions.
Maximus glanced at them and said with a mischievous grin, “You’ve prepared the money?”
Thud!
David knelt on the floor immediately and pleaded, “Please, give me a few more days! My sister has been trying to get money by sleeping with rich men. I’ll get the money soon…”
Thea wore a blank expression. She was utterly disappointed in favonovel.com family.
“Take him!” Maximus ordered his men.
His men approached David and forcibly grabbed him.
“Mom, Thea, dad… Save me…”
David cried out. “Thea, think of something. Quick!”
Gladys panicked. “Think of something? What can I do?”
Thea shook favonovel.com head. She was at favonovel.com wit’s end. Maximus stood up and said coldly, “I’ll give you one more day, Thea. If I don’t see the money by tomorrow, prepare to collect this guy’s corpse. After you’ve prepared the money, come and find me at Osmanthus Villa.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com turned to leave.
“Dad, mom, Thea… I don’t wanna die…” David was forcibly dragged out of the Callahan residence.
He wailed.
The rest of the Callahans did not dare go against Maximus. Thea’s eyes were brimming with tears. The tears flowed down favonovel.com cheeks.
“Think of something, Thea. Even if David did do something wrong, he’s still your brother.”
“That’s right. Hurry up and think of a solution.”
“Thea, I beg you. I don’t want my child to be fatherless.”
They surrounded Thea and pleaded.
Seeing their tearful expressions, Thea breathed a deep sigh and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll come up with something.”
Saying that, favonovel.com returned to favonovel.com room. In favonovel.com room, favonovel.com hid under the blanket and burst into tears. She cried favonovel.com eyes out.
The night silently passed.
***
Thea went to court the next day. She did not get herself a lawyer as favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had no chance of winning. As expected, favonovel.com lost the case.
To get back the money, the court froze all of favonovel.com assets and even prepared to auction away the villa James had given her. They also ordered favonovel.com to gather the money owed as soon as possible.
The money was not the main problem. She would be able to get it bit by bit. The real problem was Maximus.
Maximus was a vicious and cold-blooded man. If favonovel.com could not pay on time, David would be dead.
Dismayed, Thea walked out of the courtroom.
Though the sun was bright, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com life was bleak.
D-Do I really need Zavier’s help to get through this?
She was unwilling to succumb to favonovel.com fate.
She pulled out favonovel.com phone and called James.
“Hey, honey. What’s wrong?”
Hearing his voice, Thea covered favonovel.com mouth and tried favonovel.com best not to sob. This would not have happened if favonovel.com husband was a rich and influential man. What a shame that favonovel.com was a good-for-nothing man.
“I-It’s nothing…” She hung up the call.
James was lying on the bed in a military base in the Southern Plains.
Scratching his nose, favonovel.com murmured, “Huh… How weird.”
