Thea was reminded of yesterday’s incident when James brought up the one million dollars. Yesterday, at the Dragon Fountain Villa, James transferred three million to Lorne and received it back.
She wanted to ask about it last night, but too much had happened in one day, so favonovel.com lost favonovel.com opportunity to ask about it.
“James, how did you get all this money?” Thea looked at James seriously.
James scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
“Us men will always keep some extra cash on the side just in case. This is some money I transferred out from my card last time since I had a feeling you might use up all the money from it. I wanted to have some backup for our necessities…”
Hearing this, Thea fell silent. It was due to favonovel.com incompetence that favonovel.com lost all of James’ 200 million.
Gladys was distraught.
My own family is struggling right now, yet here James is using his own money to help Lex…
“Grandpa, may I have your card number?” James looked at Lex.
Lex never expected the day when favonovel.com would have to rely on his son-in-law to survive. Nevertheless, life goes on. He did not refuse the offer.
Instead, favonovel.com said, “James, I will be borrowing this money. After we come out from this crisis, I will pay you back tenfold.”
Despite saying that, there was no confidence behind his words.
Having the Watsons and Xenoses as their enemy, the Callahans will have their work cut out for them if they want to regain their power.
Lex gave James his number and the transfer was done. He could not be more grateful.
The other Callahans sulked. All of them blamed Thea for their situation.
Tommy scoffed, “James, don’t think your spare change is going to make us indebted to you. We’re in this mess all because of Thea. If it wasn’t for her, we’d still be living in our huge mansion.”
“Thea is a jinx. Out of everyone favonovel.com would have messed with, favonovel.com had to pick the Watsons and the Xenoses!”
“We should’ve kicked favonovel.com out of the family ten years ago!”
The Callahans all chimed in to berate Thea, spewing out the nastiest verbal abuse they could.
Thea admitted favonovel.com fault. She could not do anything other than continually apologize.
James waved his hand, trying to stop the argument, “Enough, guys. It’s not the end of the world. We’ll overcome this together. The Cansington Medical Convention is around the corner, we should work hard on that, and claim the title of Asclepius.”
“Asclepius?” Weston, John’s son glared at James condescendingly, “You?”
His sister, Yzabella added, “You must be dreaming, man!”
Nobody believed in James.
James just laughed the scornful comments off, choosing not to respond to their provocations.
“Alright, let’s go find a place to cool our heads.” Lex stood up, gesturing for the crowd to leave.
After everybody left, Gladys slapped James on his head, screaming, “James, what do you think you’re doing?! Why are you giving your money to that old man?!”
“Mom…” Thea tried to advocate for James. “This was all because of me, it’s not his fault…”
“Shut your mouth…” Gladys snapped back angrily at her.
Thea went quiet right away. Gladys went off at James. In the end, favonovel.com demanded James give favonovel.com all of his money so she could keep an eye on it for him.
James knew if favonovel.com did not give favonovel.com some money, he’d never hear the end of it from his mother in-law.
His mind raced.
Thea knew favonovel.com transferred three million to Lorne yesterday. Just now, favonovel.com took out one million.
“Mom, I only have two million left. This is the money I made after being in the military for ten years…”
“Cut the crap and transfer that to my account!.”
“F-Fine…”
James took out his phone and logged on to his online bank account to begin the transfer.
Gladys finally let favonovel.com go after favonovel.com saw the money in favonovel.com account. Thea dragged James back to their room after that. She hung favonovel.com head low, like a child who got caught doing something wrong.
“Honey, I’m so sorry. I got you into all this trouble…”
James brushed it off. “It’s fine, but I’m really broke this time.”
Thea sighed deeply as favonovel.com sank into the bed. “I knew this would happen, I would never have bought Pacific Group. I’ve caused so much trouble and I put my entire family in debt…”
She rebuked herself for everything favonovel.com had done until now. favonovel.com raised favonovel.com hand, attempting to slap herself.
James held favonovel.com back just in time. “What are you doing? I told you it will be fine. Please, just give me some time to sort this out, okay?”
Tears began to fall from Thea’s eyes.
