Chapter 480
The Callahans were all chased out of the hotel by the security guards.
Everyone cursed James.
“Grandpa, I told you James was up to no good! Nothing to worry about? So much for that. It’s obvious that he’s just rubbing salt
in our wounds.”
“That’s right. I finally understand what he meant when he said that you can’t depend solely on family. He’s just saying in a
roundabout way that he can’t be relied on!”
They spat insults at James non-stop.
Colson followed them out of the hotel. He was Megan’s ex-boyfriend and was acquainted with the Callahans. He did not want to
target them specifically.

However, this was a great opportunity to curry favor with the Watsons and the Xenoses. Whether or not the Oswalds would rise
depended on him. With his new beau in his arms, he walked out and looked at the miserable Callahans. Then, he burst into a fit
of cruel laughter.
“Lex, I never expected you and your family to fall like this. I have long despised you. Though you’re broke as hell, your stubborn
pride refuses to accept it. Serves you right!”
“Enough, Colson!” John’s son, Montgomery Callahan, stepped forward and rebuked Colson.
“Back then while you were still Megan’s boyfriend, we treated you as an honored guest. Even as we handled this crisis, we
remained silent when you left Megan. So how could you kick us when we’re down?”
“An honored guest?” Colson sneered.
“What a joke. You treated me with respect just because I was an Oswald, and you wanted to ingratiate yourselves with my family.
Would you have treated me the same if I was poor and powerless? Would Megan still have been my girlfriend? Would she have
still slept with me?”
“No, she wouldn’t have. Let’s face it, it’s all because of money.” Colson mocked them relentlessly.
“Like grandfather like grandson. Everyone in the Callahan family is the same.” Montgomery could no longer suppress his anger.
Colson had taken it too far. Montgomery charged toward him and punched him in the face.
His fist came into contact with Colson’s nose.
Colson screeched in agony.
Blood gushed out from his nose like a river.
He held his bruised nose. In an instant, his hand was bloodied too. His expression contorted
with rage, and he bellowed, “How dare you hit me?! It’s over for you! You’re dead!”
All the ambitious prominent families in Cansington were watching the Callahans’ every move. They were looking for an
opportunity to antagonize them to curry favor with the Watsons and the Xenoses.
Colson was just lamenting the lack of opportunity. Now, however, Montgomery had punched him. He immediately called his
father, Stefon.
“Dad, someone just hit me. It was a Callahan. I’m outside Glorious Hotel right now. Come, quick! Use your connections and
escalate things. This is the perfect chance to prove ourselves to the Watsons and Xenoses...”
Hearing this, the Callahans all wore grim expressions. Tommy screamed at Montgomery, “What have you done?! Don’t you
understand what kind of situation we’re in now? How could you resort to violence? You’ve doomed us all!”
Montgomery said coldly, “Tommy, I’m standing up for your family. This b*stard is saying all these awful things. Are you just going
to lie down and take that?” Smack!
Megan slapped Montgomery across the face. “This is my personal affair. You shouldn’t have gotten involved. Apologize to
Colson now.”
“Megan, how dare you? My brother’s standing up for you. Why are you on Colson’s side? Where’s your conscience?” Weston
could not stand it anymore. He stepped forward and scolded Megan
“Enough.”
Lex slammed his cane and yelled, “Silence, all of you. We have a lot on our plate already.”
The Callahans quiet down.
Lex groaned dejectedly. “Forget it. Let’s just leave.”
He turned to leave.
“Can you though?”
