Chapter 140

Thea would never have the courage to ask Lex to kneel.

After all, he was her grandfather.

“Get up, Tommy. “Y-you too, Megan.” She immediately helped Tommy and Megan up from the floor.

The two finally stood up.

However, the others did not dare to get up. “Ms. Thea, how would you like to punish them?” Alex asked

as he glanced at Thea.

“Me?” Thea panicked again. She had never been in such a situation before.

These people kneeling to her were all prominent figures with many more assets than the Callahans.

“How about we get them to slap themselves a few times? After all, it’s Ms. Lawson’s birthday today,

and it won’t be appropriate to see blood,” asked Alex.

Alex glanced at Thea and secretly peeped at James.

James wore a harmless expression.

“Honey, what do I do?” Thea was clueless and looked at James for his opinion. James shrugged and

suggested, “How would I know? However, these people were disrespectful and rude. I’ve despised

them for a while. How about we let them slap themselves fifty times?” “F-forget it.” Thea did not want to

make the problem worse. Even now, she was still puzzled as to why these people were helping her.

She glanced at the people kneeling on the floor, recollected herself, and said hurriedly, “Y-you guys

should get up first.”

Hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty.

“Get up? “Wouldn’t you all continue to spout nonsense if you weren’t taught a lesson today?” James

raised his voice and roared.

“That’s right “Fifty slaps aren’t enough! Do a hundred!” Jay immediately agreed with James. Hearing

this, Alex immediately understood James’ intentions. He raised his foot and kicked the man kneeling in

front.

The man fell to the ground,

However, he did not dare to say anything. He simply got up, continued to kneel, and began to

slap himself repeatedly. His company had a collaboration with the Celestial Group. His whole company

would go bankrupt with one word from the Celestial Group. Slap! Slap! Slap!

The others immediately followed as soon as the first person began slapping himself.

The whole venue resonated with slapping sounds.

The other onlookers could only gasp.

The scene was once-in-a-century. “W-what are you guys doing? Get up! Stop this!” Thea was so

shocked that she almost burst into tears. It was just a few words about her. It was not such a big deal.

This was simply unnecessary! She glanced at the three prominent figures and pleaded sincerely, “P-

please stop them!”

James glared at the people slapping their faces, and said, “My wife is kind and generous, so she is

letting you guys off the hook. Hurry up and thank her. You all better remember the consequences if you

dare to spout nonsense again.” “Alright. Get up.” Alex waved his hands and stopped them after hearing

James.

The people kneeling on the ground finally stopped. They got up and stood in place, not daring to move

an inch. James held Thea’s hand and said, “You should thank them, darling.” Hearing this, Thea

immediately reacted. She glanced at Alex, Bryan and Jay gratefully and hurriedly thanked them, “Th-

thank you so much!” “I’ll make them bankrupt within minutes if you’d like, Thea.” Alex smiled. Everyone

present was shocked as soon as his words left his mouth. “Mr. Yates, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have

spouted nonsense! Please forgive me!” A few who heard him immediately knelt again and pleaded.

“Get lost.”

Alex kicked them away. The man immediately got up and frantically dashed off.
