Trent’s death a few days ago caused an uproar. No one knew who the man in the ghost mask was, but Alex knew that it was James, the Black Dragon of the Southern Plains.
James asked, “How’s the partnership going with Eternality?”
“All good, Mister Caden.”
“Terminate the partnership. Tell the Callahans that Celestial will only work with Thea. Now that Thea is no longer part of the family, the partnership is terminated. As for the rumors between you and Thea, sort it out yourself. I don’t want Thea to be in trouble due to those rumors.”
“Of course. I’ll get it done right now.”
Alex took a deep breath.
After he hung up, he made the necessary arrangements at once. He told whoever was in charge of dealing with the Callahans to terminate their partnership.
At the Callahans’ at the same time.
The current executive chairman of Eternality, Howard Callahan, rushed in. He shouted, “Dad, something’s happened!”
Lex raised an eyebrow. “Howard, why are you still behaving like a child at this age? How am I supposed to pass the torch to you? Can our family truly be part of the upper class?”
“I hear you, dad, but Celestial Group has terminated our partnership. They even said that…”
Lex shook, standing up abruptly. “What? What did you say?”
Howard lost his confidence. He hung his head. Quietly, he said, “Celestial terminated our partnership. Now, several trucks are waiting at our factory to transport the raw materials back.”
Lex fell onto the couch heavily. Sweat beaded his wrinkled face.
Working with Celestial was the Callahans’ best opportunity to rise through the ranks. Now that Celestial had terminated the partnership with Eternality, the Callahans would lose their chance at becoming an upper-class family.
“What else did Celestial say? Spit it out.” Lex was so angry he thumped his cane against the floor.
Howard said, “Celestial’s chairman Alex Yates said he would only work with Thea. With Thea gone, he will never work with us.”
“Then why are all of you still standing here? Go and get Thea now!” Lex picked up his cane and started whacking Howard, Tommy, and the other Callahans who were present.
All of them left hurriedly to call and locate Thea.
Nine Dragons Street.
