Many reporters gathered outside Cansington Hotel.
The scene was broadcasted live.
The crowd only dispersed after Thea reiterated that the Black Dragon was not there and that favonovel.com did not know of his whereabouts.
Thea and the others returned to Cansington Hotel. More and more guests arrived.
Soon, hundreds of guests gathered in the foyer. The big shots from Cansington all presented their specially prepared gifts. However, they were only ordinary big shots.
The true powerful and influential people from the Five Provinces Business Alliance or Infinity Commerce were not invited to attend. After all, they had bad blood with the Callahans. It would be inappropriate for them to come.
Giving a glistening smile, Gladys received the gifts on behalf of Thea.
Lex, who was wearing a red suit, was conversing with some big shots while leaning on his cane not too far away. They were discussing the development of Eternality Group.
Lex, at long last, believed that the Callahans were now an influential family, one of the main pillars of Cansington. All of this was because of Thea.
Holding a mic in his hand, favonovel.com said, “Quiet down, please. I‘d like to speak.”
The crowd quieted down. Everyone fixed their gaze on Lex.
The rest of the Callahans by Lex‘s side were basking in the admiration of the crowd.
Lex scanned the crowd and said, “I‘m old. It‘s time for me to retire. I‘d like to officially announce that Thea Callahan will be the new head of the household. Under favonovel.com guidance, I believe that the Callahans will reach even greater heights.”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The crowd gave a round of applause.
Lex handed the mic to Thea. “The floor is yours.”
Taking the mic, Thea said smilingly, “Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to my birthday banquet. I‘m deeply honored.”
She bowed deeply
James was watching favonovel.com silently from afar. Cynthia and Quincy were beside him. They sat there and accompanied favonovel.com as they were worried James would be crestfallen after divorcing Thea.
James was only here to give his wishes to Thea. He stood up and headed in Thea‘s direction.
Seeing James walking over to them, the Callahans‘ faces darkened.
“Isn‘t favonovel.com James, the son–in–law of the Callahans?”
“Didn‘t favonovel.com divorce Thea already? Why is favonovel.com here?”
“I don‘t know.”
The crowd whispered.
Under the crowd‘s gaze, James walked over to Thea. The smile on Thea‘s face froze.
She said coldly, “Why are you here? Get lost. I don‘t want to see you.”
Meanwhile, Bobby looked at James with a mischievous grin. “Thea has divorced you. Why are you still pestering her?”
James looked at Bobby and grunted. Then, favonovel.com turned to face Thea.
“I‘m here to wish you a happy birthday.”
“No need for that.” Her expression was ice cold.
Even Quincy could no longer stand favonovel.com aloofness.
She stepped forward and said coldly, “What‘s wrong with you, Thea? Have you forgotten it was James who gave you the ten billion dollars? Without him, where would the Callahans be now?”
“Quincy, the Callahans‘ affairs have nothing to do with you,” Gladys reproached her.
“It was Zane Dawn who gave the money to James as thanks for saving his daughter. It was the Callahans who made this possible. If favonovel.com hadn‘t married into the Callahans, favonovel.com wouldn‘t have saved Cynthia. Everything was given to favonovel.com by us.”
“Preposterous!” Quincy had long been displeased with Thea and the Callahans.
“What fine men and women you all are! And you! Are you dumb? Why did you give ten billion to Thea for nothing?”
James gently pulled at Quincy and said, “Enough. Knock it off…”
“No, I refuse!”
