Exasperated, Lex bellowed in rage, “Go get me Thea and her family now!”
“Yes.”
Tommy wore a smug look. He snorted deep down, “What will you do now, Thea?”
The Callahans’ villa was not too far from Thea’s place. Tommy did not call. Instead, he showed up without warning.
James was already home.
Upon seeing their dejected looks, he said with a smile, “No worries. Yosef has confessed to it. He’s now on his way to the Callahans’ villa to admit his mistake. Soon, grandpa will be here.”
Upon hearing this, Thea glanced at James. “W-What did you to him?”
James smiled, “Nothing much. I just gave him a scare. After threatening to throw him off the eighth floor, he spilled the beans. He even said he would go to the Callahans’ villa and tell them the truth.”
“Haha, nice one, James.”
“I feel much better now.”
They rarely praised James. James, on the other hand, smiled faintly.
Not long after, a knock came on the door.
James said with a smile, “It has to be the Callahans.”
Gladys ordered, “David, go get the door.”
“Got it.”
David got up and went to answer the door.
Upon seeing Tommy outside, his face darkened. “No use begging my sister. Unless, of course, you’re willing to kneel before us.”
“Huh?”
Stunned, Tommy rebuked him, “Are you dumb, David? Who says I’m here to beg for forgiveness? Grandpa asked me to bring you all to the Callahans’ villa.”
“Huh?”
David was puzzled. He asked, “Hasn’t Yosef spilled the beans?”
“Haha, yes, he did.” Tommy burst into a peal of laughter. “I’ve conveyed the message. It’s up to you now to choose what to do. I’ll get going.”
Cackling, Tommy left.
His triumphant laugh set alarm bells ringing for James.
