Chapter 197

He thought this would be the most glorious time of his life. He never expected it to be the most

humiliating one instead. Worse still, the owner of the Transgenerational Group, Scarlett, was asking

them to compensate 30 billion dollars.

30 billion dollars?

It was an enormous amount that the Callahans simply could not afford.

“What exactly happened?”

Lex was furious and smashed the furniture and some antiques in the house into pieces. There were

dozens of people gathered in the huge villa, yet none of them spoke up.

Everyone knew that if they spoke while Lex was furious, they would only get themselves in trouble.

After venting his anger, Lex calmed down and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Gladys’ family and

pleaded, “Gladys, you’re the only one capable of saving the Callahans now. Didn’t you say your niece

is working in the Transgenerational Group? Didn’t she come with Ms. Brooks? You’re the only one who

can help us now.”

Gladys was on the fence.

Meanwhile, Thea sat on the sofa with an evidently unhappy expression. She muttered softly,” Grandpa,

she’s the one who cheated with James.”

Bang! Lex slammed his hands on the table. Although he was already eighty years old, he was still

relatively strong, and the table shook vigorously when he slammed on it. “So what if they cheated? It’s

nothing worth mentioning if we can get through this difficult time! Thea, call James to come back! Isn’t

he cheating with Xara? Get him to come back and help us!” “Grandpa…” Thea almost teared up

because of the suffocating pressure. She was being forced to call James to avoid paying the 30 billion

dollars.

“Grandpa, you’re the one who expelled him from the family. You should be the one to call him. I’m not

shameless enough to go through with it.”

“Thea, you shouldn’t be so stubborn. We’re talking about the chairman of Transgenerational Group. It’s

obvious that the Blithe King has an unusual relationship with her. She’s a really influential person that

we can’t afford to offend. We won’t even be able to scoop up a billion dollars, so how will we get thirty

billion?”

The current Lex no longer had a glamorous look on his face,

He seemed to have lost his energy, and his face was pale.

“Grandpa is begging you.”

Thea wanted to say something but stopped.

“Thea, maybe you should ask James to come back?” Gladys also persuaded her.

Howard glanced at Thea and said, “Thea, you’re the executive chairman of the Callahans’ family

business and hold fifty percent of the shares. You shouldn’t be selfishly prioritizing your emotions while

our family is in such a desperate situation.”

“Yeah, Thea. You’re our only hope right now.”

“Cheating with another woman isn’t anything serious.” “That’s right. Xara is now working for Ms.

Brooks. She’s the epitome of wealth. The Callahans will hit the jackpot if we can ease the relationship

and curry favor with Xara.” The family members took turns to persuade Thea “Hurry up, Thea. Call

James and ask him to come back. My luxury car and house are depending on him right now.” David

was anxious,

They were about to live an extraordinary life, and he did not want the Callahans to go bankrupt

because they offended Scarlett. “I-I’ll give it a try.” Thea stood up, walked toward the door, and took out

her phone to call James. In fact, she did not really want to divorce James and planned to give him

another chance.

She remembered the kindness he had shown her in the past.

She would still be the ugly duckling of Cansington that everyone despised if it was not for Jarnes. She

would never be able to achieve what she had today without him.

Common Clinic.

James stared at his phone.

He knew that Thea would be calling him soon.

Sure enough, it did not take long for Thea’s number to show on his screen.

He was immediately thrilled and looked at Henry proudly. “See, I told you I was right. The Callahans

would surely come to beg me if they got into a crisis.” “It was very unnecessary.” Henry was left

speechless by his actions. So much had happened, and so many people were involved just because of

a conflict between a couple.

He even had the Blithe king show up to help.

James ignored Henry and answered the phone. He said casually, “Thea? I already told you the

Department of Civil Affairs isn’t open. They won’t be able to process our divorce procedure.” “I- James,

could you come back to the Callahans’ villa to discuss… no, I mean… It’s not about the divorce.”

James pretended to be oblivious and asked, “What happened?”

“It’ll be hard to explain through the phone. You…you should come back first.” “Okay. I’ll be there.”

James hung up the phone and said proudly, “I’m leaving, Henry!”
