Chapter 166
p!
dys smacked James on the head. “Watch your tongue. What makes you think you have the right to
speak at the family meeting?” She reprimanded him.
“Alright, that settles it.” Lexughed heartily. To set the Cahans up at the Trade City Center was
something unthinkable to him. That ce was the future Glochaibal Financial Center. As such,
businesses from Cansington were not the only ones seeking to establish themselves there. Allrge
corporations nationwide would eventually make their way there. If the Cahans managed to set up
shop there, it would be a symbol of prestige. Lex could not care less about the hundred million
entrance fee.
“Grandpa, I…” Thea was hesitant.
However, seeing Lex’s delighted face, she did not want to disappoint him. She hung her head.
” I-I’ll try.”
“Chairman, you now carry the hopes and dreams of the Cahans.”
“You have to get us the right to set up shop.”
“Worry not, chairman. As long as you seed in your negotiations, we’ll find a way to get money, no
matter the rental cost.”
“That’s right. But if you fail, that’ll mean you’re unqualified to be the chairman.” The Cahans chitter-
chattered. Though they seemed to be currying favor, they were actually ridiculing her. Thea knew they
wanted to see her make a fool out of herself.
“Haha. We’ll join our efforts and bring the Cahans to greater heights. Dismissed.” Lex stood up and
headed upstairs,ughing heartily. Thea stood and red at James.
“James, are you just looking for trouble?” David eximed, wearing a murderous look on his face.
Tommy let loose augh.
“Good luck, Thea. It isn’t easy to start a business at the Trade City Center. I’m afraid being the
chairman isn’t exactly all fun and games.”
“Thea, I heard that even someone like Alex Yates has to y nice during the process. I’m afraid he
can’t help you out this time around.” “Haha, we’ll await the good news.”

The Cahans babbled non-stop.
Meanwhile, Thea left the Cahans’ vi in a foul mood.
James followed close behind.
Along the way, dys, David, and Alyssa ranted about James.
“James, I’m warning you. Keep your mouth shut at the next family meeting. Stop embarrassing us,”
dys scolded.
David joined in, “Useless piece of trash. Do you even know what the Trade City Center is? You need an
entrance fee of at least a couple of million to open a restaurant at food street. The same goes for the
fashion street. The prices will be exorbitant if apany sets up shop there.”
No matter how they chastised him, James remained silent.
Thea looked at him, disgruntled.
“You’ve made life difficult for me. Do you know Yuna of Longevity Pharmaceuticals had to go through
an afternoon’s worth of paperwork to set up shop there? And she’s the chairman of a hundred-billion
dor corporation. What am I going to do? Will I even make it past the front gate?” James smiled and
said, “Honey, I have faith in you. You can do this.” “But I don’t have faith in myself.” Thea was
dismayed.
They continued to bicker along the way home. Xara stayed home and did not go to the Cahans’ vi.
Seeing the expressions on their faces upon their return, she asked, “Why the long faces? Did . you
guys not get the shares?”
“James, that piece of trash talked too much and got Thea into a difficult situation,” dys criticized.
“Huh?” Xara nced at James.
“What happened?” She asked. dys filled her in. Hearing this, Xara wore a thoughtful expression on
her face.
“Thea might be able to do this.”
James nodded.
“Yes, I have faith in her. Besides, even if I had kept my mouth shut, do you think the other Cahans
would allow her to hold on to her executive director’s position? If Thea wishes to secure her authority,
she needs to win them over fair and square.”
“Good thinking. Did you think we weren’t aware of that? Do you take us for fools?” dys chided. “We
could’ve shirked our responsibility on that impossible task. Now, thanks to you. how is she supposed to
obtain the right to set up shop?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
