Chapter 63
It was dead silent at the entrance of the military region.
Nobody dared utter a word.
Just then, a horn sounded.
Everyone turned to look.
Everyone’s expression brightened again! Why were they leaving? The soldiers
and lieutenant at the entrance straightened up and saluted.
“Good day, sir!”

As one, their voices were bright and resounding.
Gladys wound her window down and stuck her head out again.
Poorly-concealed excitement and pride were written all over her face.
As the car approached, the moguls queueing up parted and gave way.
Gladys even craned her head and waved to the soldiers on either side.
“Good job, boys.Good job!”
With her mannerisms, she resembled an officer.
The car exited the military region.It stopped in front of the Callahans, who were
still at the entrance.

Gladys opened the door and stepped out of the car.She held her head high,
glowing with pride.
Beaming brilliantly, she said “Dad, let’s go home.I’ve seen what’s in
there.There’s nothing much..”

All the Callahans looked ashen, their expressions muted.
No one said anything.
They knew that Gladys was showing off.
Gladys glanced at Megan, noticing that Colson was not with her.
In honeyed tones, she said “Megan, where’s your boyfriend? Where’s Colson?
Didn’t he get us an invitation? Was the invitation a counterfeit? The Oswalds
can’t even compare with my son-in- law, who’s trash..”
Megan turned pale, grinding her teeth.She had no response to Gladys’ jibe.

would you be able to take it?” “Enough!” Howard shouted. “Gladys, what’s all this? Are you trying to make things worse?” Gladys planted her hands on

you say whatever you want.My son-in- law got us the invitation, but you claimed
the credit for yourself.How dare you insult Thea and our family after that?”
Gladys had hated them for a long time.
“James is just a soldier.He has no money or power, but so what? Asa soldier, he
has comrades and superiors too.Let me tell you something.James called his
superior because you claimed his credit as your own.His superior informed the
Western Border Patrol to invalidate the Callahans’ invitation..”
Gladys felt so much better after saying all that.
Now, she did not even care if Lex got angry and revoked their remaining
shares.She understood Howard and his family all too well.
With them in the picture, Benjamin’s shares would not belong to him for a long
time anyway.
They would have been revoked in no time! The Callahans were
speechless.They had nothing to say.
