Chapter 24
At the Callahans’.Lex saw Howard and his family, but Thea was nowhere to be found.His wrinkly face darkened.
Angrily, he shouted, "Where's Thea? Why didn’t you bring Her home?"
Megan looped her arm through his immediately.
"Grandfather, calm down.Please hear me out.Thea has crossed the line.She asked all of us to kneel, which we did, but she still refused to come home.She even requested that you transfer ten percent of the group’s shares to Benjamin.Also, she said that you’re just a biased old man since everyone else in the family owns some shares except for her family."
Lex turned green with anger.Hurriedly, she said, "Grandfather, they’re not my words.Thea said all of that."
"How dare she."
Lex was furious.
Viciously, he said, "Just because she knows Alex Yates, she’s behaving as if she owns the world.She doesn’t even respect me anymore."
Tommy exaggerated the story as he recounted how they went to pick Thea up.He told Lex all about how they knelt before Thea, how she ridiculed them, and how she insulted Lex.
On the way back, Howard and his family had come up with a plan.
One thing was for sure.
Thea would be returning.
Once she was back, she would be in power.
None of them wanted that.
However, if Thea did not return, the Callahans would sustain heavy losses.
Howard and his family had decided to slander Thea.
Thea had made a mistake that almost ended their bloodline.
On top of what just happened, she would not get much power even if she returned.
Lex fumed, his breath getting shorter and shorter.He leaned against the couch, gasping for breath.
Using his cane to point at Howard, he said angrily, "Make the transfer.Since this is her condition for returning, so be it.Get her to call Alex immediately."
Lex might have been old, but he was still alert.
