Chapter 55


    "Jamie." Thea strode forward, taking his hand. She looked apologetic.


    “I’m sorry for what I saidst night. I might have been too harsh with my words.Where did you go?”


    "I was at Henry''s."


    "How dare you show up, you worthless b*stard?”


    Tommy approached with his nose in the air, looking at James with contempt.He then nced at the car


    with no license te.It was a multi-purpose vehicle featuring a logo he had never seen before.


    Dismissively, he said, "You''re not thinking of driving this to the military region, are you? It’s so


    embarrassing.And you…”


    He pointed at David.


    “Look at your car! You''re an embarrassment to us!”


    Howard approached, studying David’s and James’ cars.


    Coldly, he said, “How mortifying.You’d better not take these cars at all.Check if you could hitch a ride in


    someone else''s car.If grandfather did not say that all family members must be present, I wouldn’t want


    you there at all.You''d only be an embarrassment.”


    “All the cars are full.No one would have any space left.”


    “Yeah.If you ask me, Benjamin and his family better stay behind.” Several family members chimed in.


    Lex walked over, leaning on his cane.He took in Benjamin and his family, David''s car worth only two


    hundred thousand dors, and James’ car resembling a Lunar Peace.He frowned.


    “I think you’d better stay behind.All the attendees are VIPs.You''ll only embarrass us if you drive these


    cars.” Thea started to say,


    “Grandfather…” James stopped her.


    Smiling, he said, “We''ll stay behind then, grandfather.”


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


    “Yeah, we''ll stay behind and avoid being an embarrassment.” dys was happy to y along.


    They would only be mocked if they followed.They might as well stay at home.


    “Let’s go.” Lex entered the Brentley.


    For the asion, the Cahans had hired a team of drummers.


    They started ying as the cars moved out.


    The feet departed with much fanfare, attracting lots of attention.


    As the public saw the banner, they came up with amentary.


    "This is so cool! How did the Cahans get an invitation to the Blithe King’s session ceremony?”


    “I heard Megan Cahan’sboyfriend, Colson Oswald, helped them get it."


    "Isn''t that Benjamin Cahan? Why isn''t he going?"


    "He''s Lex Cahan''s son after all.Even some of the rtives on patterns with Lex are invited.Why isn''t


    Benjamin and his family going?"


    “Let''s not talk about it.Everyone knows he’s useless.” The voices kepting.


    “Good-for-nothing.” dys red at Benjamin viciously.


    Ever since she married him, she had always been looked down upon.


    "Thea, do you want to go for the Blithe King''s session ceremony?” James looked at her.


    Thea shook her head slightly, saying, “There''ll be a live stream on the Inte anyway.Let''s just watch


    it at home on TV.”


    James took her hand.


    "If you''d like to watch it in person, I''ll take you.I could even get us VIP seats in the front row.” He


    pointed at his car.


    “See this? It’s not an average vehicle.It''s a special car from the Southern ins, and there''s only one


    person allowed to use it.I begged my superior to pull some strings so I could borrow it.Not even the


    Western Border Patrol would stop this car.”


    “Really?” Thea looked disbelieving.


    “Do you trust him?” David looked at James disdainfully.


    “This is just a Lunar Shine.What’s so special about it?”


    “Trash.The entire family is trash.My husband is trash, my son is unambitious, and my son-inw is


    useless.” dys insulted the entire family.


    “Come on, Thea.Let''s go.” James lost his patience with the rest of the family, guiding Thea into the car.


    Once he joined her in the car, he wound the window down.


    Looking at dys just about to leave, he asked, "Mom, why don’t youe with us? It’s not like you’ll


    be doing anything else anyway.I''ve heard that all the rich and powerful families will be there.You''ve


    always wanted to get Thea a rich husband, right? This is a golden opportunity!”


    “You’re right.” dys nodded, ring at James.


    "Guess you''re smart enough to know Thea''s out of your league.”


    In the passenger seat, Thea fumed.

    “What was that, James?” James smiled.


    “If I didn''t say that, would mom agree toe? Don’t worry.”
