Chapter 40


    Tommy was the eldest grandson in the family, that was why everybody spoke up for him when he was


    attacked.


    In the heat of the moment, James became the public enemy, and so did Benjamin’s family.


    Once again, Thea was the target of the ugliest insults


    There were requests for Lex to revoke Benjamin’s shares, too. Tommy was ted with all these people


    on his side


    He looked at James with an expression that said, ‘You’re just a nobody in the Cahan family. Hitting


    me was the riskiest move you could make!


    Lex’s face was colored with rage. He was upset about the drama that unfolded during an important


    family meeting


    dys pped James on his head before he could say anything.


    “You b*stard, kneel down right now.”


    To their surprise, James raised his leg and gave Tommy a solid kick in the gut. It sent him two meters


    away, crashing into the couch and crying, in the most miserable sight.


    “James…” Thea was getting scared now. She wanted to kneel and apologize right after that, yet James


    held her up from the floor.


    “Outrageous!” Lex, extremely mad, bolted up from his seat and ordered, “You’ve crossed the line. From


    now on, you’re no longer a son-inw of the Cahan family! Leave.”


    “Say sorry, please.” Thea pulled on James’s shirt hard.


    “James, apologize now, you piece of trash.” dys would not stop with the scoldings. She got her


    share of the family business with her sweat and blood. She was not going to let James anger Lex by


    hitting Tommy, thus revoking their shares.


    “He isn’t worth my apology,” James said calmly.


    “You…” Lex was shaking and panting from anger.


    “Grandpa, please calm down.” Megan held Lex and patted his back to soothe him.


    “Don’t waste your energy on a lowlife like him. Let’s just make him leave. He must’ve also been


    enabled by Benjamin to act with such disrespect.”


    “Yeah,” someone agreed, “Benjamin thinks he’s all that after getting his 10%. He isn’t respecting you at


    all. He might be telling people that he’s the head of the family now.”


    dys looked like she was to explode with anger. She hated James to death.

    Benjamin, throughout all of this, kept quiet at the side of the room as if it had nothing to do with him.


    “Thea, this ce isn’t worth us staying. Let’s leave together.” James pulled Thea’s hand, trying to


    leave. However, Thea was on the verge of crying. She became the ugliest woman in Cansington and


    disgraced her family. Her only wish was to be epted by her family. Now, her only chance to do so


    was ruined by James. She was thankful to James for saving her appearance.


    However, she felt nothing but hatred toward James right now. He caused her to be insulted by her


    family again.


    This time, she screamed, “James, is it that hard for you to apologize for your mistakes? You’re a


    soldier, not a big shot!”


    When he saw tears welling up in Thea’s eyes, James’s heart ached.
