The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

“Forget it.”  Lex lightly waved. 

“Lex, you can’t just ignore this,” Jolie cried out, weeping. “Howard and Tommy have been taken by the police. Even if they did something wrong, how could James call the cops? This is a family affair, after all.” 

“A family affair?”  James said coldly, “Is framing Thea considered a family affair? Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Would you still call it a family affair if people had died?” “You…” 

Her face livid, Jolie pointed at James and rebuked him, “Who do you think you are? This is the Callahan residence. What makes you think you have the right to speak?” “That’s right. You’ve pushed it too far.” “How could you call the cops?” “Why can’t you just sit down and talk this through? It’s nothing serious, after all. Now that the police have arrested them, what should we do if word gets out?” 

“Damn you, James!” 

The Callahans reprimanded James and Thea, blarning everything on them. 

Though David was delighted, he believed James had crossed the line. It was a family affair, after all. Getting the authorities involved would only make matters worse. 

Thea pulled at James and whispered, “James, withdraw the case. If word gets out, things won’t look good for the Callahans. Besides, I’m perfectly fine now. Why don’t we reconcile with them?” 

Thea was grateful James had stood up for her. 

However, at the end of the day, the people arrested were still her relatives. 

James replied, “The relevant authorities have begun investigating the matter. It’s too late to withdraw the case now. Besides, if they’re proven to be innocent, they’ll be released in no time. If they’re found guilty, however, it’s only natural for justice to be served.” James did not plan to let them off the hook that easily. 

Doing so would only give them allowance to execute worse plots in the future. “Leave, now. I don’t want to see your faces…” Lex pointed at the door. Gladys took the hint and looked at David and Benjamin. “What are you standing there for? Hurry, get those betrothal gifts out of here.”
