PopularNovelChapter 267 Although she said nothing, disappointment was apparent on her face.
All women loved wealthy and successful men, not unambitious men who stayed at home and tended to
household chores. “I’m going to Pacific Group.” She turned to leave. Her expression did not escape
James’ notice. He saw the disappointment on her face. It seemed that after meeting the mysterious Mr.
Caden, Thea’s opinion of him had unconsciously changed.
Meanwhile, the Callahans were worked up upon hearing that they were allowed to move into the villa.
They gathered to discuss an auspicious day to move in. James, on the other hand, was forgotten. Not
that he cared.
Sitting on the balcony, he smoked his cigarettes and contemplated life.
Not long after Thea left, Lex came knocking on the door.

The Callahans utilized all resources at their disposal to get Howard and Tommy out of prison but to no
avail.
As it was James who had called the police, Wyatt explained that James’ approval was needed for them
to be released. No one else could do the trick. Thus, Lex came personally.
The Callahans did not give him a good look.
After all, they were now detached from the main family and would be moving into a villa. There was
simply no need to play nice with him anymore. “Father, why are you here?”
On the sofa in the living room.
Gladys wore an indifferent expression. She was dismissive of Lex even though he was the family’s
patriarch.
Lex looked at James and ordered, “James, withdraw the case immediately. Release Tommy and
Howard now.”
Unconcerned, James casually said, “Grandpa, they’ll have to face justice for what they’ve done. They’ll
repeat the same mistake if we let them off the hook so easily.” “You b*stard. It’s not in your place to
decide.” Lex was enraged. Gladys looked at James and said, “Alright now, James. Withdraw the case.
We’re family, after all. It’s better not to burn bridges.”
James relented. However, as he did not have Wyatt’s number, he could only call Daniel.
He gave Daniel a call immediately.
“I’m withdrawing the case concerning the Callahans.”
Saying that, he hung up. Lex grunted coldly. Then, he stood up to leave. “Watch your step, father.”
Gladys ostentatiously called out. “This feels good.” David laughed carefreely.”Although James is poor,

would settle things on their own. “James, the divorce is still on the table. You’re not getting out of this
just because you helped her. I’m telling you. You have to divorce her.”
Deep in thought, she muttered silently, “Things don’t seem too good with the mysterious Mr. Caden
anymore. It seems I’ll have to target Mr. Watson now. I should call him and invite him out for a meal.”
She did just that. “Hi, Mr. Watson. I’m Thea Callahans’ mother. Yes, that’s me. Are you free tonight?
Thea would like to treat you to a meal. Alright then, I got it. We’ll meet there.” Hanging up the call,
Gladys had a brilliant smile on her face. It was almost as if Zavier was already her son-in-law.
“Zavier?”
James squinted his eyes. It seemed he had to teach him a lesson. Zavier would have a death wish for
thinking about his wife.
