Chapter 468 Thea was reminded of yesterday’s incident when James brought up the one million dollars. Yesterday,
at the Dragon Fountain Villa, James transferred three million to Lorne and received it back
She wanted to ask about it last night, but too much had happened in one day, so she lost her opportunity to ask
about it. “James, how did you get all this money?” Thea looked at James seriously.
TU!
James scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “Us men will always keep some extra cash on the side just in case.
This is some money I transferred out from my card last time since I had a feeling you might use up all the money
from it. I wanted to have some backup for our necessities…” Hearing this, Thea fell silent.
It was due to her incompetence that she lost all of James’ 200 million.
Gladys was distraught.
Her own family is struggling right now, yet here James was using his own money to help Lex.
“Grandpa, may I have your card number?”
James looked at Lex.
Lex never expected the day when he would have to rely on his son-in-law to survive.

He did not refuse the offer. Instead, he said, “James, I will be borrowing this money. After we come out from this
crisis, I will pay you back tenfold.”
Despite saying that, there was no confidence behind his words.
Having the Watsons and Xenoses as their enemy, the Callahans will have their work cut out for them if they want to
regain their power.
Lex gave James his number and the transfer was done.
Lex could not be more grateful.
The other Callahans sulked. All of them blamed Thea for their situation. Tommy scoffed, “James, don’t think your
spare change is going to make us indebted to you. We’re in this mess all because of Thea. If it wasn’t for her, we’d
still be living in our huge mansion.”
“Thea is a jinx. Out of everyone she could’ve messed with, she had to pick the Watsons and the Xenoses.” “We
should’ve kicked her out of the family ten years ago.”
The Callahans all chimed in to berate Thea, spewing out the nastiest verbal abuse they could,
Thea admitted her fault. She could not do anything other than continually apologize.
James waved his hand, trying to stop the argument, “Enough, guys. It’s not the end of the world. We’ll overcome
this together. The Cansington Medical Convention is around the corner, we should work hard on that, and claim the
title of Asclepius.”
“Asclepius?” Weston, John’s son glared at James condescendingly, “You?” His sister, Yzabella added, “You must be
dreaming, man.”
Nobody believed in James.
James just laughed the scornful comments off, choosing not to respond to their provocations. “Alright, let’s go find a
place to cool our heads.” Lex stood up, gesturing for the crowd to leave. After everybody left, Gladys slapped James
on his head, screaming, “James, what do you think you’re doing? Why are you giving your money to that old man?”
“Mom…”
Thea tried to advocate for James. “This was all because of me, it’s not his fault…” “Shut your mouth…” Gladys
snapped back angrily at her.
Thea went quiet right away. Gladys went off at James. In the end, she demanded James give her all of his money so
she
could keep an eye on it for him.
James knew if he did not give her some money, he’d never hear the end of it from his mother in-law.
His mind raced.
Thea knew he transferred three million to Lorne yesterday.
Just now, he took out one million.

“Cut the crap and transfer that to my account.”
“F-Fine.”
James took out his phone and logged on to his online bank account to begin the transfer.
Gladys finally let him go after she saw the money in her account. Thea dragged James back to their room after
that. She hung her head low, like a child who got caught doing something wrong, “Honey, I’m so sorry. I got you into
all this trouble…”
James brushed it off. “It’s fine, but I’m really broke this time.”
Thea sighed deeply as she sank into the bed. “I knew this would happen, I would never have bought Pacific Group.
I’ve caused so much trouble and I put my entire family in debt…”
She rebuked herself for everything she had done until now. she raised her hand, attempting to slap herself. James
held her back just in time. “What are you doing? I told you it will be fine. Please, just give me some time to sort this
out, okay?” Tears began to fall from Thea’s eyes.
