Chapter 185 Lex swung his cane as soon as James walked through the door.
However, James easily avoided it.
What happened, Grandpa? Whyre you so angry? You piece of trash! Lex wore a furious expression.
He had lost face and got beaten up by several security guards just because he believed in James words.
This incident was much more shameful than being thrown out by a military regions general.
Lex stood up, pointed at James nose, and scolded him, saying, You trash! Do you intend to embarrass my family? Youre no longer the son-in-law of the Callahans, James! Youve no conscience at all! We feed you, provide for you, but all you do is embarrass our family! The family members scolded him and degraded him.
However, James wore a puzzled expression.
What happened, Grandpa? he asked with a frown.
How dare you still have the face to ask me? Lex swung his hand toward James.
At least let me know what happened, James raised his head, quickly blocked the slap, and said indifferently.
Its because you deceived Grandpa, making him think he could celebrate his birthday in the House of Royals! We went there in advance and werent even allowed to enter the gates.
We even got beaten up by the security guards! Megan shouted.
James glanced at them.
They all looked beaten up.
There was even a slap mark on Brodys face.
Megans dress was full of footprints, and her stockings were ripped apart.
She must have been assaulted during the beating.
However, James was confused.
The security guards attitude at the Goodview Villa District was very polite.
It was unreasonable for them to beat up visitors.
He had already pleased Lex, and with his one word, Thea would not follow through with the divorce.
However, such an unexpected situation happened.
James walked out calmly.

He took out his phone and called the Five Provinces Business Alliances president.
Its me, Black Dragon.
I permitted Lex to use the House of Royals for his birthday, but the security guards beat him up.
I need an explanation right now.
The Five Provinces Business Alliance was one of the most significant forces in the country, yet James was able to call the president of it directly.
The Five Provinces Business Alliances president was Yacob Lynch.
He was a very prominent figure.
Despite not being from the Capital, his influence was more significant than those there.
Yacob was shocked to receive James call and replied frantically, C-commander! Ill investigate it immediately and give you an explanation right away! James hung up the phone and waited outside the door.
He did not enter the villa again because he knew things would not be pretty for him since the Callahans were furious about getting beaten up.
Soon, Yacob called back and explained, Ive looked into it already, Commander.
It was a fool from the Xenoses that disrespected Lex.
Ive already ordered him to head to the Callahans villa to apologize personally.
Im sorry for my negligence on this matter, Commander.
Im really sorry… The Five Provinces Business Alliances president, Yacob, repeatedly apologized.
1 He even went to the extent of slapping himself.
The slaps were so loud that James could hear them through the phone.
You better hope that it doesnt interrupt my plan.
Otherwise, it would be unnecessary for the Five Provinces Business Alliance to exist anymore.
James coldly hung up the phone.
Afterward, he smoked a cigarette at the door.
Then, he entered the villa again.
The Callahans began to scold him with offensive words as soon as he entered the house.
They even started to chase him away.
Grandpa, this is indeed my fault.
Why wouldnt you tell me in advance that you wanted to check out the venue? Ive already made arrangements, but still, youd have to tell me beforehand if you wanted to go, James said with a smile.
F*ck your arrangements! Do you still want to continue your act even up to now? Ill kill you! Tommy picked up an ashtray and threw it at James.
James dodged it.
Bang! The ashtray hit the ground and shattered instantly.
Lexs expression darkened, and his whole body trembled.
He held up his cane and swung it at James while scolding, Y-you! Get out of here! From now on, youre no longer the son-in-law of our family! James quickly stood up and escaped.
Since Lex was still mad, it was best he did not enrage him further.
He planned to return after the people from the Five Provinces Business Alliance apologized.
1 Everything would be fine by then.
James escaped from the Callahans villa and heard the family slam the door shut.
Twenty minutes later, the five Provinces Business Alliances council showed up outside the Callahans villa dragging Zack and Lucy, as well as the several security guards that beat up the Callahans following behind.
