Chapter 491

Thea was responsive. She hugged James back and snuggled in his arms.

James’ thoughts were running at a thousand kilometers per hour. He tossed them away and started to
kiss her.

“Ah,” Thea gasped in shock as she pushed him away. James licked his lips as he smiled satisfactorily.

He wanted to have his way with his beautiful wife, but after giving it some thought, he decided to wait
until after their wedding day. It’d be better if everything was settled by then.

“It’s nothing, good night.”

James grinned like a schoolboy in love. A kiss was enough for him for now.

He closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Thea. Thea blushed. She could not help but smile
happily watching this wonderful man sleep beside her.



The night slipped away silently. The next morning James woke up in the afternoon. Lex, Howard, John,
and Benjamin were in his house. Other than them, none of the other Callahan family members showed
up.

When James walked out of his groggily, he quickly snapped awake after seeing them in his house.

“Grandpa, uncle, good morning.” Lex turned and addressed him, “James.”

John faced James immediately and exclaimed in gratitude, “James, thank you so much for last night. If
it wasn’t for you, my son would still be tortured in the police station.” James let out a sleepy yawn and




chuckled.

“That’s nothing. All I did was call Xara from Transgenerational. She was the one who did all the work.”

Gladys was upset, as usual. She was displeased at the fact that James was taking the credit for
helping Lex when he himself was so incompetent he needed to rely on someone else for help.

Especially when that someone was Xara Hill.

One of her family members.

She butted in, pridefully, “That’s true, you can’t imagine the influence us Hills have. The Hills were the
only ones to help the Callahans when you’re in trouble.”

Jaines ignored her. “Grandpa, what brought you here?” Lex went back to looking downcast.

“I thought about it yesterday. I don’t think this is going to work. Hence, I came here today to ask for your
help. We don’t need to regain our wealth, we just want to survive and live peacefully.”

That was the end of Lex’s dream. All he wanted was for the Callahans to establish themselves as an
upper-class family. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, all his efforts over the years had been
reduced to almost nothing.

Lex was done having any more aspirations.

Now, he just wished for his family to have a roof over their heads, stable jobs, and comfortable life.

Right now, Lex seemed like a tiger who had lost his fangs. The pride he had in his glory days was all
gone.

“Feel free to discuss your options.” James later turned to Thea.
