Chapter 9

The girl was Tommy’s younger sister and Howard’s daughter, Megan Callahan.

As soon as she entered, she noticed Thea and James. She could not help staring at them.

She then approached Lex and showed him an article on her phone.

Lex saw an image of Alex bowing to Thea, his arm outstretched. He was gobsmacked.

That was Alex Yates, the chairman of Celestial Group.

In Cansington, even The Great Four had to play by his rules.

He snatched up the contract on the table and confirmed that it was indeed an order for a hundred million dollars. He burst out in laughter. “Ha ha, excellent job, Thea. You’re a Callahan through and through! It’s time for Eternality Group to shine!”

“What about James, grandfather?”

“What? Joel Xavier is here?” A middle-aged woman walked in.

It was Gladys, Thea’s mom.

She noticed Joel as soon as she entered and made a beeline for him, a big smile on her face. “You must be Joel. I’ve heard so much about you! What do you think of Thea? If you want her, she’s yours.”

“Mom.” Thea was so angry she stamped her foot. Looking at Lex, she almost burst into tears. “Grandfather, we did what you asked. We’ve got the order, and you have to keep your word.”

“Hmph.”

Joel looked disdainful. “So what if you’ve got the contract? As I said, all it takes to void this contract is one phone call.”

“How dare you…” Thea pointed at Joel angrily and looked at Lex, pleading with him. “Grandfather.”

Lex put the contract down.

He did not know why Alex Yates had dealt with Thea personally.

Then again, there was no denying that Celestial Group were close partners with the Xaviers. If they offended Joel, they could lose the contract. Furthermore, it was Thea, not James, who obtained the contract.
