Chapter 165


    Lex stood up and invited Thea to sit.


    The more amicable Lex was toward Thea, the more threatened the rest of the Cahans felt.


    Lex was old and would probably not live for much longer. They believed this redistribution of shares


    was equivalent to him dividing up the Cahans’ inheritance.


    As there were limited seats, the non-core members of the family stood during the discussion.


    James was standing too, but he could not care less. Lex was seated above. He scanned the group


    before he spoke, “I summon all of you here today for two things. First, from today onward, Thea will


    formally take over the reins of the Cahans and will be in charge of every family business as the


    executive chairman.”


    “Second, we’ll be discussing the redistribution of shares.”


    Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath. All eyes were fixed on Lex, waiting for his next move.


    Lex nced at Benjamin. “All these years, Benjamin has been working diligently. And though he


    received no shares, he did notin. I dere that Benjamin will be given fifty percent of the


    family’s shares. This will not be limited to Eternality Group, but rather all Cahan businesses.”


    Upon hearing the announcement, everyone could not help but nce at Benjamin. Their eyes burned


    with hatred. What did he do to deserve all those shares? Howard and John dared not object to their


    father’s decision. Meanwhile, John’s son, Weston, stepped forward.


    “Grandpa, l object to this. Based on what you said, Benjamin gets to have a fifty percent stake in my


    processing nt?” Lex opened his eyes and nced at Weston.


    “Do I have to repeat myself? I did say all businesses under the Cahans, didn’t I? Are you a


    Cahan?” Weston nodded.


    “Yes.”


    “Since you’re a Cahan, your processing nt belongs to the Cahans.”

    “Grandpa…” Weston, enraged, raised his voice.


    “I established the processing nt myself. Although it’s modest in size, it has nothing to do with the


    Cahans’ family business. Why does Benjamin get to have a fifty percent stake in it?”


    Lex’s face darkened. With a howl of rage, he smashed the table.


    “That’s because you used the Cahans’ money to establish it! And don’t forget about the business


    deals you made through the Cahans’ connections.”


    “…” Weston was at a loss for words. Unable to refute Lex’s ims, he angrily seated himself.


    Benjamin, on the other hand, was ttered.


    Il was surprising


    He received not just fifty percent of Eternality Group but fifty percent of everything the Cahans


    owned


    Lex took a deep breath, “I’m old. I can no longer lead the Cahans. That’s why I’m leaving it to our


    distinguished youngsters. I know you’re dissatisfied with my decision. How about this? We’ll give Thea


    a three-month probation period. If she seeds in multiplying the family’s assets, she’ll be eligible to


    be the chairman. Only then will her family be entitled to the fifty percent stake.”


    Lex nced at the Cahans in the foyer and continued, “From today onward, both Howard and John


    will hold twenty percent of the family’s shares. I will hold the remaining ten percent for the time being.


    You have the right to distribute your shares among your children. Any objections?”


    Lex scanned the group. “This is a family meeting. If you have any objections, speak up. Otherwise, I


    hope you’ll work together and bring the Cahans to greater heights.”


    Initially, Howard and John were discontented.


    However, after Lex exined the redistribution of the shares, they no longer had a problem.


    Twenty percent was much more than what they had both received previously.


    Seeing that they remained silent, Lex continued, “Since no one is objecting to this, it’s a deal. Thea will


    be the executive chairman. Howard will be the vice-chairman. Howard, you’ll assist: Thea in her work


    and help bring glory to the Cahans.” “Understood.”


    Howardplied.


    Tommy, on the other hand, did not. “Grandpa, we respect your decision. However, since Thea’s


    appointed as the executive chairman, she should be doing something for the family, Say, the Trade City


    Center business. Everyone has been setting up their businesses there. We can’t miss out. Since


    Thea’s the executive chairman, we should leave the matter in her hands. Let her lead the negotiations


    for us to set up our business there. We’ll recognize her as the leader of the Cahans only if she


    seeds.”


    “That’s right.”


    “I agree. Let Thea lead the negotiations. I heard we needed assets amounting to over five billion to set


    up there. Also, there would be an annual fee of a hundred million that has to be paid in a lump sum.”


    “We should be able to gather a hundred million. However, setting up a business there in itself is no


    simple matter. If Thea seeds in her negotiations, we’ll acknowledge her.” Following Tommy’s


    suggestions, everyone shared their thoughts. Upon hearing this, Lex nced at Thea.


    Thea was unsure of herself and was reluctant tomit.


    She had gone there with Yuna today.


    Even Yuna was paying her respects to the person in charge of the Trade City Center.


    James stood. “Don’t worry. Thea’s got this. If she can’t even obtain the right for the Cahans to set up


    their shop, she’s unqualified to be the chairman.”


    Upon hearing this, Thea shot him a disgruntled look. It implied that he had talked too much and stirred


    trouble for her.


    Meanwhile, Tommy looked as if his evil machinations hade to a crescendo.


    Obtain the right to set up a shop?


    How was that possible?

    The trade center had reiterated that one needed assets totaling at least five billion to be eligible. All the


    Cahans had amounted to only one and a half billion. They were far from getting a spot
