Chapter 81-90

Chapter 81 Now, he simply wanted to stay by Thea’s side and enjoy a leisurely life. “Mom, we can make plans for it next time. Didn’t David mention that he wanted to buy a car? So don’t we use the money to buy him the car first? Plus, if I want to open a clinic, I’ve saved a little over the years, which should be enough.” A bright smile broke out on David’s face, and he hurriedly persuaded, “Mom, James is right. Let’s get a new car first! A luxurious car! It has to be at least a million dollars to look good when we’re out in it!” Immediately, instead of trash, David started calling him James because the latter spoke out for him. James nodded. “Yep, I won’t be needing the money. By the way, Thea seems to be very interested in fashion design. Why don’t we start a clothing company instead of a clinic? The commercial city will be looking for foreign investments. I can rent an office building as the company headquarters for cheap through some connections.” “You’re spouting nonsense.

I heard that the commercial city aims to become a global financial center. The rent and tenancy agreement fees around that area are ridiculously expensive. Do you even know how much money is required to start a company? We don’t have any connections, nor do we have money. So how are we going to start a company?” Thea immediately grabbed James and interrupted. James smiled and reassured her, “As for money, I’ll figure something out. We can take out loans or even borrow. If it’s something you like, I want to support you. Do you remember the place I took you to last time, the House of Royals? To tell you the truth, the owner of the House of Royals is one of my military comrades. We fought alongside each other through life and death situations. However, he climbed the ranks faster and reached a really high rank while I remained a normal soldier. I could ask my friend for help so these concerns won’t be a problem.” “What? The owner of the House of Royals is your friend?” Gladys’ eyes widened. The House of Royals was the most luxurious villa in Cansington.

It spanned an area of 30 acres and was the very definition of extravagant. The identity of the House of Royals’ owner had always been a mystery. Rumors were that the place was not one where you could live even if you had money. “Yeah, he used to be my military comrade, but now he is settling some affairs abroad and had temporarily handed the House of Royals to me. Thea, I want to hold our wedding there and make you the happiest bride in the world.” James nodded. “Halia Alnight… Before Thea could finish speaking, Gladys laughed joyfully and interrupted her “Do it! Hold the wedding at House of Royals! You better hold it soon! How about on the old man’s birthday? I heard the old man is spending thirty million to rent the Cansington Hotel to celebrate his eightieth birthday We will hold the wedding on the same day in the most glamorous and grand location of Cansington, the House of Royals! We will make that egotistic old man ini Although the House of Royals was not James’ property, it would be very impressive to be able to hold their wedding there even if it was through connections, David could not suppress his doubt and asked, “You’re not joking, right, James? You’re talking about the House of Royals, which is 30 acres big, the most luxurious and extravagant place in Cansington? The grand villa rumored to be more than three billion dollars?” “Yeah. Thea has been there before. That’s the one I’m talking about right now,” James nodded and replied “Do you really have such connections, James? Who is your military comrade?” “I was a soldier in the Southern Plains, and there was another person who went with me. He is the Black Dragon of the Southern Plains, the commander of the million-soldier Black Dragon Army.

His existence is on par with the Blithe King. The Black Dragon is the owner of the House of Royals. The commander takes good care of me and even allowed me to reside in the House of Royals temporarily.” “Pfft. The Black Dragon?” David immediately lost his interest in the topic. He simply thought that it was a lie. Thea rolled her eyes and said, “You’re going overboard with your lies. How could you be in such a bad position if you really know the Black Dragon and he’s looking after you? You even had to ask me for cigarette money.” “Right? That’s not how you boast about yourself. Do you know what people outside are saying about you? They say you asked your senior to use his connections so you could borrow a car to pretend to be wealthy. The driver, your senior, and you will be in deep trouble when the car’s owner returns. Just wait. You’re going to be in for a beating.” Alyssa sneered. Gladys had also heard of the rumors. “James, is what they say about you true? Will you be punished by law when this man returns?” Gladys asked worriedly. James had nothing left to say. He claimed to be military comrades with the Black Dragon, but already no one believed him. It would be even more unbelievable if he announced that he was the Black Dragon. Since they would not believe him, it was best he kept it hidden for the time being “Mom, it’s not that serious. At most, I’ll have to write a self-reflection report. Besides, I’ve been a soldier for ten years and saved my boss’s life before. We’ve also got a solid friendship so borrowing his car isn’t really a big deal,” he scratched his head and explained. Gladys siched in relief and patted her chest. “That’s good. By the way, is it really possible to hold your wedding at the House of Royals? It wouldn’t cause any trouble, right?” “It’s absolutely possible! The House of Royals is the Black Dragon’s residence. He is abroad for some business right now and won’t be coming back anytime soon Plus, I really am acquainted with him We even went on a mission lovether about eight years ago. Even though it was a long time ago, lue is very loyal. He always agrees to his soldiers’ requests as long as they aren’t too overboard. You can ask around if you don’t believe me He has a reputation of valuing and taking good care of his soldiers,” James reassured them. Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from the door. Howard’s family showed up at the door with a new share transfer agreement.

Chapter 82 Ley had taken out 20% of the family shares and offered it to Benjamin’s family. He also ordered that Howard give up his position as the executive chairman and that Benjamin’s family must forgive him. Thea had to be invited back. Otherwise, Howard would be kicked out of the Callahans. Therefore, he prepared gifts and showed up at Thea’s house again. This time, not many people accompanied him. Only Howard’s direct family, Jolie, Tommy, and Megan came with him. All four of them held gifts in their hands. Howard gently knocked on the door. Thea’s family was chatting over dinner. “David, go open the door,” Gladys ordered. “Okay.” David put down his utensils and headed to open the door. Seeing that it was Howard’s family, he immediately welcomed them with a smile.

“Uncle, what brings you here? Please come on in.” David was highly disappointed that Gladys had refused to return to the Callahans. He was about to be unemployed and jobless. His family was going to starve without the support from the Callahans. invited them inside the house. “You could have come without bringing gifts! By the way, have you eaten? We’re having dinner right now. You should come and join us.” “Lyssa, what’re you waiting for? Hurry and prepare dishes for them!” David shouted as he led Howard’s family into the house. Benjamin stood up and greeted, “Howard, Jolie.” Gladys wore a serious expression and abruptly put down her utensils, glaring at Howard’s family who had entered the house. “What’re you doing here?” “Mom. How about you don’t say too much? Uncle has personally come to visit us. What is with your attitude?” David said in a timely manner. “Shut up!” Gladys shouted, Howard was not infuriated and said with a smile, “Benjamin, Gladys. I’ve come to apologize You know dad will be celebrating his eightieth birthday soon. Wouldn’t it be good for us family to get along harmoniously? Dad even said he will give Benjamin i wenty percent of our “Seriously?” David was thrilled. “Uncle, Auntie, don’t stand there and have a seat. James, what’re you doing? Get up and give your seat to them.” Alyssa’s expression brightened as she overheard them while preparing the utensils. She hurriedly entertained them. James prepared to get up. “Sit!” Gladys ordered. James immediately sat down again. “What’s wrong? You’re afraid that Celestial Group wouldn’t be willing to collaborate with Eternality without Thea? The old man kicked our family out of the Callahans in front of so many influential people. Twenty percent of the family shares? What’s the point in giving it to us and taking it back tomorrow?” Gladys glared at Howard’s family and said indifferently. 20% of the family shares was extremely tempting.

It was the equivalent of 100 million in assets. However, Gladys married into the Callahans for a decade and was extremely familiar with Lex’s character. So it was possible he would give it to them today and take it away when he got angry again someday. “Mom, stop it.” “Mom, it’s twenty percent of the shares! Even if you don’t want it, you should think about us! David and I will be having a baby soon. You have to at least think about your grandson!” Gladys’ attitude made David and Alyssa extremely anxious. “Thea, I’m sorry. I was at fault in the past. I shouldn’t have insulted you. I’m begging you to come back and resume your position as the executive chairman. There are a lot of company affairs waiting for you,” Tommy apologized. “You should just come back, Thea. Grandpa said that you could continue being the executive chairman of the group. Your monthly salary will be the same as before. Three hundred thousand!” Megan cajoled. Hearing them, Thea was also tempted. She eagerly wanted to go back to work instead of staying home wasting time. However, she remained silent after seeing Gladys’ expression. “We don’t need it! Gladys was firm with her decision. She never wanted to return to the Callahans just to be insulted. “Gladys, why do you have to be so stubborn? Why refuse money? It’s twenty percent of the farnily shares. The Callahans have plenty of business and are all profitable. Having twenty percent would be about a minimum of one million a month,” Jolie smiled and said. “Mom, quickly accept it!” David was about to cry from panic. equivalent to a luxury car every month!
