However, the more they denied it, the wilder the rumors that spread outside.
Lex noticed the countless eyes watching them and felt embarrassed because even he thought Thea was sleeping with Alex.
Despite Thea being the reason the Celestial Group agreed to cooperate with the Callahans, Lex cared more about his name.
“You—you have no shame!” Lex’s face darkened.
“Grandpa, i-it’s not like that!”
“Then, explain where you got the money to buy the outfit if it wasn’t because you slept with Alex?” Tommy stood up and shouted.
“I-I…” Thea felt so wronged and was on the verge of tears.
She never slept with Alex.
However, she did not know how to explain the situation.
The money came from James, but she did not know where he got it from, and if she told them, there might be grave consequences. It was possible that James would have to go to jail.
James, concentrating on his game in the corner, heard the commotion. He stood up and realized it was the Callahans.
He hurriedly walked over, saw tears in Thea’s eyes, and asked, “What happened, Thea?”
Tommy sneered, “You don’t even know your wife slept with another man again? She’s wearing branded clothes that cost more than hundreds of thousands. Tsk, tsk! The chairman of Celestial Group sure is generous!”
James’ face darkened.
Sensing that James was about to launch at Tommy, Thea immediately grabbed him in time and said, “Let’s just go, James.”
She was unsure how to explain herself and refused to embarrass herself by staying any longer.
Many people gathered around them and began to mock her.
“Why isn’t Thea explaining herself?”
“The rumors must be true. She definitely slept with Alex more than once.”
“That’s why she can’t explain herself.”
“Well, she’s a beauty, so it’s no surprise Alex would be attracted to her.”
The unpleasant chatter surrounded them, and Lex was embarrassed.
Thump!
Lex slammed his hands on the table and abruptly stood up. He reprimanded her saying, “Thea, how can you be so shameless? You’re such an embarrassment to the Callahans.”
“Who was gossiping about Ms. Thea?”
Another voice sounded, and a handsome man followed behind Alex.
It was the owner of the Gourmand, Bryan from the Graysons of the Capital.
“Those who said a word about Thea better come out to kneel and apologize. Otherwise…” Yuna also stood up and said coldly.
“How presumptuous! Who dares to spout such nonsense?!”
Outside the door, another voice could be heard.
Immediately, an older man in his 60s appeared. Despite his wrinkled appearance, he walked in energetically, dressed in a black suit.
“D-Dr. Fallon?”
Everyone was shocked by the person approaching.
James also heard the uproar and looked over.
He subconsciously frowned.
‘How could Jake Graham be Dr. Fallon? The Jay Fallon that Thea had mentioned?’
