So why were they here insulting Thea?
James would have resorted to violence if not for the fact that they were Thea’s relatives.
Lex lamented, “You don’t understand. After the incident, all our relatives have cut off contact with us.”
Jolie yelled, “It’s all because of Thea! She bankrupted the Callahans. I can’t return to my mother’s house anymore. No one answers my call!”
She glared at Thea. She would have slapped Thea across the face if favonovel.com was not in front of so many people.
“Sigh…” Lex sighed despondently. “This is only natural. People fawn over you when you are rich and kick you when you are down.”
Aggrieved, Thea looked at James and pulled at his sleeves.
She whispered, “Honey, can you think of something? We should help them find a place to stay for now…”
James gently grabbed Thea’s hand and said, “Hmm… I will think of something.”
He walked out of the house and headed over to the stairs. Then, favonovel.com lit a cigarette. He called Scarlett.
“J-James!” Scarlett’s agitated voice came from the phone, “You finally called. Is everything alright?”
“I’m fine… Scarlett, does Transgenerational Group have hotels?”
“Yes, we are currently renovating the Transgenerational Hotel. Operations will begin next month. Also, we have taken over three five-star hotels in Cansington…” Scarlett immediately reported the situation to James.
“I have around twenty people here. Help me make arrangements to put them up somewhere.”
“Understood. Where are you now? Do you need me to send someone over to pick you up?”
“No need. Just provide me with the address. The Callahans will get there by themselves. By the way, give Xara a heads-up. Just tell favonovel.com it was me who requested for favonovel.com to arrange a room.”
“Understood!”
James hung up the phone. After finishing his cigarette, favonovel.com walked back into the house.
Everyone looked at him.
‘Thea walked over to favonovel.com and asked anxiously, “How did it go, honey?”
James smiled. “I’ve sorted it out…”
“Huh?” Thea was shocked.
She questioned favonovel.com in surprise. “The Watsons and the Xenoses have combined forces to make our lives difficult in Cansington. How did you manage to solve the problem?”
James said smilingly, “Have you forgotten that Xara works at Transgenerational Group? She’s the head of a department. I gave favonovel.com a call, and everything was solved. Transgenerational Group has hotels too. Even though the Five Provinces Business Alliance have a lot of influence, Transgenerational isn’t afraid of them.”
“Oh, I see…” Thea nodded at his explanation.
Leaning on his cane, Lex stood up.
Full of gratitude, favonovel.com thanked James. “James, thank you so much. If you hadn’t helped out we would have to live on the streets.”
James lightly waved and smiled back at him. “Grandpa, we’re a family, after all. Don’t fret. There’s nothing for you to worry about. This is only temporary. The Callahans will surely rebuild themselves eventually.”
“Hmph! Don’t be ridiculous!”
“Rebuild?! We have no chance.”
“With Thea here, it’s impossible.”
The Callahans retorted sarcastically.
They understood the Callahans’ situation. As things stood, rebuilding were the least of their concerns.
James smiled and looked at Lex, “Grandpa, I’ll see you off downstairs.”
“Sigh…” Lex told James. “I finally understand one thing after living for so long… Family will always be by your side no matter what.”
James shook his head. “You’re wrong, grandpa. The only person you can rely on is yourself.”
Lex looked James in the eye. His instincts told favonovel.com there was more to James than favonovel.com initially thought. Though favonovel.com seemed useless, favonovel.com was never frightened and would move ahead without acting recklessly.
He exuded an air of relaxed calm and confidence.
