Chapter 26


    dys was out the entire day, so she missed the news.She was unaware of the press conference the


    chairman of the Celestial Group had held, the fact that Celestial Group had canceled their partnership


    with Eternality, and how Thea had leveraged her return to the family against Lex by making him pass


    ten percent of the shares over to them.She froze at Thea''s words.


    "Transfer letter for ten percent of the shares? What share?"


    dys stared nkly at the document Thea held out..


    "Mom, grandpa wrote this transfer contract," Thea said.


    "He signed it himself.If dad signs it too, ten percent of the family''s shares will be his."


    dys promptly snatched the file from Thea''s hands and read through the contents carefully.She


    cheered in delight when she was done, hugging and kissing the contract.


    "Haha! It''s real!" she squealed.


    "It''s an actual transfer contract! We finally have ten percent of the shares! The old man finally came to


    his senses!"


    "Let me see that, Mom," David said incredulously.


    Lex held most of the family''s shares.


    The other family members had some, too, but never his immediate family.


    dys happily passed the file to him.


    "Didn''t you always want a new car, Davie? Let''s get you a brand new one tomorrow! It''ll be one that''s


    far more presentable.You''ll be the envy of the road!"


    David read through the contract, his face brightening with every line.He turned hurriedly to face dys.


    ''Mom, even holding ten percent of the shares gets us a considerable amount of money when they hand


    out bonuses in the future! I''m nning to have a kid, but our ce in the city is too small for that.Get


    Dad to pass me five percent of his share, Mom! I want a new house!"


    "There''s no rush! Whatever your father has will be yours one day! "W "Mom, I''ve got my eye on a


    dress, but it costs tens of thousands of dors," Alyssa said petntly, tugging on dys’s arm.


    "Our wedding anniversary ising up in a month, I n on getting a decent dress for once."


    "Yes, of course! We''ll get you that dress!"'' dys was ted.


    She finally had some of Eternality''s shares after years of being shunned.


    Thea felt joy as she watched how happy her mother was.She hugged James''s arm, beaming up at him


    in gratitude.


    However, James had noticed how dys did not even give Thea a single nce after she took the


    contract from her.


    Somethingpelled him to speak up.


    "Mom, Thea was the one that got the contract for dad."


    "Trust you to ruin the mood."


    dys''s expression soured.She crossed her arms.


    "You''re a mere servant we brought into our household.You don''t get a say in anything.Also, I''ve raised


    her for twenty years.Isn''t this what she''s supposed to do?"


    "I''m sorry, mom," Thea said hurriedly, seeing how dys had be annoyed.


    "James didn''t mean that.This is indeed what I''m supposed to do."


    "Whatever.Come in," dys said as she entered the house, not wanting to bicker with James while


    she was still in a good mood.


    Thea smiled, happy that she finally had her mother''s approval.


    James, however, felt helpless.


    Thea was too soft on them.She was too desperate to get her family''s approval.


    But, from this, he also saw the years of pain and grievances she had to endure.They started discussing


    the contract.


    dys even called Benjamin to hurry him home so he could sign it.Soon enough, Benjamin was


    home.When he learned how Thea had helped him obtain ten percent of his family business''s shares,


    he froze in shock.


    "T-Thea," he said.


    "Is this true?"


    Thea nodded from where she sat on the couch.


    "It''s true, Dad.Grandpa allowed me to return to the family, too."


    "Haha! This is amazing..."


    Benjaminughed in tion.

    "Don''t be too happy,"


    dys snapped, ruining the mood.


    "You''re not the one that earned this.You''ve been useless your entire life, and you always will be.If it


    weren''t for Thea, you''d never amount to anything in this family!"


    Benjamin hung his head, not daring to retort.The dampened mood was short-lived.


    Now that Thea had gotten them the transfer contract, the entire family nned to celebrate by having a


    meal in a nice restaurant.


    While Benjamin was not considered rich, he was still thepany''s manager.His sry was


    considerably high, enough for him to put down a loan for more than 300,000 dors on a Hondai.


    David, too, had a car.


    The family had bought it for him as a wedding gift.


    While it only cost them 200,000 dors, it did the job of transporting them just fine.


    David and Alyssa left in their car, while James and Thea rode in Benjamin''s.


    The family drove downtown to a high-end restaurant.
