None of the Callahans bothered to look for Thea even though she had been gone for ten days. 

To the Callahans, Thea was the black sheep of the family and the laughing stock of Cansington. If it were not for Thea, the Callahans’ business would be booming. 

Once Thea had recovered, she picked up her marriage certificate with James and they went home together. 

Lex Callahan had three sons. 

According to birth order, they were Howard, John, and Benjamin. 

 

Benjamin was shunned by his own family because of Thea. It did not matter that he worked hard, expanding the family business by leaps and bounds. 

At home, he did not have any rank, status, or authority whatsoever. 

Benjamin might be a Callahan Group manager, but he had no shares in the company. All he got was a fixed salary each month with no bonus. As such, he was struggling to make ends meet. 

It was true that he had bought a house, but there was still the mortgage to pay off every month. 

“This is my home, Jamie.” 

Pointing to the doors, Thea said, “It’s nothing compared to the palace you live in though.” 

James took her hand in his and smiled. “Home is wherever you are.” 

Thea smiled. Approaching the entrance, she knocked on the door gently. 

Gladys opened the door. 

She was slightly shocked to see a beautiful girl and an unfamiliar man. She asked, “Can I help you?” 

“Mom,” Thea said. 

Gladys was stunned upon hearing this beautiful girl call her mom. 

“Mom, I’m Thea. Your daughter.” 

“What?” 

Gladys was shocked. Looking at the girl in front of her, she was confused. “Y-You’re Thea?”
