Chapter 1296
Thea’s heart raced.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the expression on Thea’s face, James asked puzzledly.
“Huh?”
Thea hurriedly said, “I–It’s nothing. Let’s head downstairs to eat.”
Then, she grabbed James by the arm and headed downstairs.
James did not suspect anything.
Downstairs, everyone from the Callahans gathered, including Lex, Howard, and John’s families.
There were also many tables.
The moment James descended the stairs, he immediately became the star of the show.
Lex stood up and yelled, “Quiet down, everyone. I have a few words to say.”
The boisterous living room fell silent.
Looking at James, Lex said, “James and Thea have played a significant role in making the Callahans what we are today…”
Lex tried to curry favor with James and Thea.
Hearing this, James gave a slight smile.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was lively.
However, James ate only a little before heading upstairs. He wanted to go somewhere else quieter.
Hence, he went to Thea’s room on the second floor.
He stood on the balcony and smoked his cigarette. Pensive, he stared at the pitch–black sky. His mind was filled with the dynamics of the Capital and the matter regarding the coming election.
The election would see the rise of a new King.
Lucjan definitely had something planned.
He was deep in contemplation when someone hugged him from behind.
