Chapter 22


    Looking at how happy Thea was, James’ mood lifted as well.


    “Jamie, I’m going home. I’m going home!”


    Thea could not stop cheering, just like a little girl whose time-out session was over.


    James did not say much. He merely hugged her tightly.


    Once Howard learned where Thea was, he drove to Nine Dragons Street.


    Some of his family went along, including his children Tommy and Megan, as well as Tommy’s wife


    Yvonne Lewis.


    As Howard had always been the executive chairman of Eternality, he drove a pretty swanky car. It was


    a BMV 7 Series worth millions.


    In the car, Tommyined, “What is grandfather doing? How could he allow Thea toe back?


    Dad, once Thea returns, you will no longer be the executive chairman. We can’t let Theae home.”


    His wife Yvonne agreed. “Tommy’s right. If she’s the executive chairman, how will we benefit from the


    Megan interrupted, “Rumor has it that Thea is Alex’s lover.”


    Howard cut everyone off, saying, “That’s enough now. We have to take Thea home and secure the


    partnership with Celestial Group. The order is worth a hundred million. We’ll make a profit of twenty


    million if we make it work!”


    Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Common Clinic.


    All of them exited the car.


    Thea was over the moon since Howard told her that he wasing to pick her up himself. She was


    already waiting for him outside.


    As soon as she saw Howard’s car, she grabbed James’ hand excitedly. “Look, it’s uncle! It really is!


    Jamie, I’m going home.”


    “Yes, you’re going home.” James smiled. As long as Thea was happy, he was happy too.


    After Howard disembarked, he grinned widely, saying, “Thea, Dad has told me to take you home.”


    Everyone else’s faces darkened when they saw her.


    She was the curse that almost destroyed the entire Cahan family. Only God’s protection prevented


    that from happening.


    Arrogantly, Tommy said, “Thea, my dad showered you in praise to persuade grandfather. You should be


    thanking my dad on your knees.”


    “Thank you, uncle,” Thea said, preparing to kneel.


    However, James grabbed her and pulled her up before she could do so.


    “Jamie, what are you doing?” Thea looked annoyed.


    Tommy got angry too. Coldly, he said, “James, why aren’t you kneeling before the future head of the


    family? Where are your manners?”


    “Kneel?” James asked mildly. “To him? He praised Thea, did he? Bullsh*t. If Celestial hadn’t terminated


    the partnership with the Cahans, would you even be here? Go home. Tell Lex that Thea would not be


    returning.”


    Thea was about to rebuke James, but after what he said, she asked, “Jamie, what’s this about Celestial


    terminating the partnership with our family?”


    James exined, “I just watched the news. Alex Yates held a press conference and terminated the


    partnership with the Cahans. He said that he would only work with the Cahans if you were there.

    Since you’re no longer a Cahan, Celestial is terminating the partnership. They’re panicking now, and


    that is why they’re in such a hurry to take you home.”


    After she found out, Thea felt hurt.


    She thought that grandfather had truly loved her. Who knew that he only wanted her home because of


    the partnership?


    She almost burst into tears again.


    James just took Thea’s arm, guiding her toward the clinic.


    Howard panicked. Quickly, he said, “Thea, you muste home. Think of how old dad is. He can’t


    take any more surprises. Do you really want dad to make this trip himself before you agree toe


    home?”


    Thea’s heart softened. Remembering that grandfather was almost eighty, she stopped and looked at


    James.
