Chapter 164


    James’ words were met with discontent from the Cahans.


    Tommy yelled at him, “Who do you think you are, meddling in the affairs of the Cahans?” Megan


    recalled how James humiliated her in front of everyone and how she was forced to kneel at Yuna’s


    banquet yesterday. Upset, she berated him sarcastically, “The remaining three are falling soon? Who


    do you think you are? Alex Yates? Do you get to decide their fates?” dys, too, reprimanded him,


    “What an embarrassment. Can’t you just keep your mouth shut?”


    Thea shot James a disgruntled look, insinuating that he should have kept his thoughts to himself.


    She did not feel confident in leading the Cahans to glory. Bing an influential family required not


    just wealth but also strong connections.


    Lexpletely ignored James and fixed his gaze on Thea. “Thea, Listen. I’ll give you three years. If


    you can transform us into an influential family and grow our assets by a dozen times within that time, I’ll


    give you fifty percent of the Group’s shares. And I promise you’ll remain the executive chairman of the


    Cahans family business.”


    “I…” Thea was intimidated. How would she be able to grow the family’s assets by that much in three


    years? She was not omnipotent.


    dys shot her a look “Why hesitate?” The look implied. “ept his offer and acquire the shares.”


    Thea nced at her family. dys, Benjamin, David, and Alyssa looked at her in anticipation.


    She contemted for a while. “Grandpa, I’m not making any promises. However, if I’m in charge of the


    Cahans’ family business, I’ll do my best to bring glory to the family. I’ll work hard for us to be an


    influential and powerful family.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Lex was relieved upon hearing this.


    Thea’s connections were extraordinary. If Thea wholeheartedly devoted herself to the Cahans’


    cause, it was likely the family’s status would grow. Lex stood up. “A deal’s a deal. Thea,e to the


    Cahan residence for the negotiations on the redistribution of shares. Don’t worry. I won’t go back on


    my word.” “Thank you, grandpa, for having faith in me.” Thea stood with a look of gratitude on her


    face.


    “We’ll take our leave.”


    Lex turned to leave.


    Howard and the others followed close behind. Their expressions were grim.


    After they left, David jumped with excitement. “Yes! Fifty percent of the shares would mean we’re in


    control of half of the Cahans. Thea, you’ve made us proud.”


    Benjamin, meanwhile, was a little disoriented. All these years, Lex had not been treating him well. He


    received none of the Group’s shares. All of a sudden, they now had fifty percent in their possession. It


    felt surreal.


    dys nced at James.


    It was his idea.

    She had incidentally brought it up. She never expected Lex to consent.


    “He’s not entirely useless.” dys pursed her lips.


    However, Thea wore an anxious expression. “It’s too early to celebrate. He’ll still take the shares back if


    I have nothing to show for after bing the executive chairman.” David dismissed her worries.


    “Thea, business is booming now that Eternality has established a permanent partnership agreement


    with Celestial Group! What are you afraid of? Besides, with how close you are to Ms. Lawson, wouldn’t


    it be a piece of cake to conduct business with Longevity Pharmaceuticals?” Thea was deep in thought.


    “That’s true.”


    At that moment, the insecure expression on her face changed into one of anticipation.


    Had the time finally arrived for her to apply what she had learned?


    She was looking forward to it.


    She looked forward to seizing the reins of the Cahans, entering the corporate world, and doing great


    things. She would bring glory to the Cahans, and they would truly be a powerful family


    Watching the emboldened look on her face, James smiled. With him manipting in the shadows,


    Thea’s business career would be smooth sailing. Not before long, her name would be known by all.


    Due to the redistribution of the family business’ shares, Thea’s family was thrilled. However, the


    opposite was true for Howard and John’s families. They were displeased. The majority of the


    Cahans’ shares were in Lex’s hands. The redistribution of shares would cause the number of shares


    in their possessions to shrink. There was no guarantee they would even receive any


    Soon, night fell.


    Wearing a morous dress and surrounded by her family, Thea entered the Cahans’ vi.


    The living room was already teeming with people. Howard’s family and John’s family were there. Three


    generations of the Cahans were now present.
