Chapter 188


    The whole family showered Brody withpliments.


    They all had the impression that Brody’s uncle, the general’s secretary, had informed the general after


    the phone call.


    With the general helping them, even a council member of the Five Provinces Business Alliance like


    Gavin had personally shown up with Zack, who ordered the beating to apologize.


    Lex was ecstatic that he could now hold his birthday at the House of Royals.


    He immediately held a press conference to announce the news.


    At the same time, Howard quickly made arrangements for the birthday party, including redesigning the


    invitations and sending them out.


    Meanwhile, James, who was staying at Henry’s Common Clinic, saw the news of Lex’s press


    conference on television.


    He instantly knew that the problem was solved and that a Five Provinces Business Alliance


    representative had shown up at their doorstep to apologize.


    Since everything was solved, he returned to the Cahans’ vi again.


    He rang the doorbell.


    The person who opened the door was Howard’s youngest daughter and Brody’s wife, Wendy.


    She was unfamiliar with James in the past but now was very clear about who he was.


    The moment she saw that it was James standing outside the door, she crossed her arms and said


    condescendingly, “You’re really shameless. How dare youe back here again?”


    Tommy was about to run some errands, but as soon as he saw James at the door, he immediately


    shouted, “You piece of trash! How dare youe again? Get out of here…”


    James’ nced at the two of them and simply walked passed them into the vi without paying them


    much attention.


    “Stop right there!” Tommy roared.


    “I’m here for Grandpa.” James was unwilling to waste time dealing with their nonsense.


    “You’ve already been expelled from the Cahans. You’re no longer the son-inw of our family and


    are no longer permitted to enter our house!”


    “That’s right! Get out of here!”


    The two siblings treated James without any respect.


    James’ was puzzled after listening to them.


    ‘Didn’t someone from the Five Province Business Alliancee to apologize already?


    ‘Shouldn’t they be trying to suck up to me right now?


    ‘What’s with their attitude?


    “Did something go wrong in the process?’


    James was confused.


    Suddenly, a Brently drove toward the vi.


    Lex got out of the car with his cane.


    Apanying him were Howard and Brody.


    Lex had rushed back home after holding his press conference to announce the new venue for his 80th


    birthday.


    “Thank you so much this time, Brody. You’ve really made me look so good!”


    “Grandpa, it’s just the House of Royals. It isn’t anything special. We should continue to stay humble.”


    Brody said very naturally.


    “Alright, stay humble!”


    The two walked toward the house while chatting.


    James saw Lex getting out of his car and immediately approached him with a bright smile.


    “See, Grandpa. I did not lie to you. You can really hold your birthday in the House of Royals. Why didn’t


    you tell me before going there yourself? I went back and called my boss and got him to help clear up


    the misunderstanding and for the Five Province Business Alliance to apologize.”


    p!


    Tommy walked to James and pped his head.


    “You trash! It’s because of you that we got beaten up. My brother-inw is the one who settled the


    issue and got Grandpa permission to hold his birthday at the House of Royals. How dare you try to


    steal credit for it?”


    Lex was furious to see James again.


    He swung his cane at James.


    James managed to dodge in time.


    He stood aside and nced at Brody beside Lex.


    “You’re the one who settled it?”

    Brody stood straight and adjusted his tie as he boasted, “All I did was make a phone call. The


    Colemans are very influential people. It’s not something a live-in son-inw like you can understand.”


    Wendy walked toward him and took his arm. Then, she looked at James contemptuously.


    “My husband is now the deputy captain of the specialized police unit in North Cansington. His uncle is


    the secretary of a general in North Cansington’s military region. He was able to settle such a trivial


    matter with just one phone call.”


    James'' face darkened.


    Someone else was taking credit for his efforts again.


    “Grandpa, do you believe him?” James nced at Lex.


    “Of course! Why should I believe you?” Lex said with a stern face.
