“Oh, what about grandfather? We could still talk to him!”

arm, saying, “Let’s talk to grandfather! He loved me the most when I was

“Yes.Let’s go now.”

As soon as he saw Thea, he started yelling, “Thea Callahan, you jinx! You’re still
alive? What are you doing, coming back here?”

dare you hit me? I’ll kill you!” Tommy raised his fist, ready to hit James. “What’s this?”

Sternly, he said, “Why are you causing such a ruckus? Is there no order in the
house anymore?”
Tommy looked chagrined, grumbling, “Grandfather, James hit me.How dare he?
After all, this is our home!”
On the other hand, Thea fell to her knees, a pleading expression on her face.
“Grandfather, please don’t cast me out.”
“You brat.”
Lex fumed when he saw Thea.It was because of her the entire family was
almost wiped out.He raised his cane with the dragon head, about to strike her
with it.
At the last second, he held back.
Pointing outside, he roared, “Thea, you’ve been cast out of the family.You’re no longer a

After they left the villa, she looked at James, starting to cry again.She felt like
she was the unluckiest woman in the world.

“Don’t cry.If you want to go home, I’ll come up with something.I promise that
your family will be begging for your return before the end of the day.”
“Ah, my life is terrible!” Thea cried.
Over the past ten years, she had been humiliated and ridiculed, but not once did
she cry.
All her repressed emotions came bubbling to the surface all at once.
Henry was following them at a distance.
James gave him a look and he brought the car over.
James helped a heartbroken Thea into the car.
They did not return to the House of Royals, but to Nine Dragons Street where

Once Thea exhausted herself from crying, she fell asleep on the bed.
James went outside and called Alex.
“Alex, it’s me.”
“ah, Dragon…Mister Caden.”
Alex shivered in fear as he answered
