Chapter 165

Lex stood up and invited Thea to sit.

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

Lex was old and would probably not live for much longer. They believed this redistribution of shareswas equivalent to him dividing up the Callahans’ 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 groupbefore he spoke, “I summon all of you here today for two things. First, from today onward, Thea willformally take over the reins of the Callahans and will be in charge of every family business as theexecutive 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 glanced at Benjamin. “All these years, Benjamin has been working diligently. And though hereceived no shares, he did not complain. I declare that Benjamin will be given fifty percent of thefamily’s shares. This will not be limited to Eternality Group, but rather all Callahan businesses.”

Upon hearing the announcement, everyone could not help but glance at Benjamin. Their eyes burnedwith hatred. What did he do to deserve all those shares? Howard and John dared not object to theirfather’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 myprocessing plant?” Lex opened his eyes and glanced at Weston.

“Do I have to repeat myself? I did say all businesses under the Callahans, didn’t I? Are you aCallahan?” Weston nodded.

“Yes.”

“Since you’re a Callahan, your processing plant belongs to the Callahans.”

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

“I established the processing plant myself. Although it’s modest in size, it has nothing to do with theCallahans’ 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 Callahans’ money to establish it! And don’t forget about the businessdeals you made through the Callahans’ connections.”

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

Benjamin, on the other hand, was flattered.

Il was surprising

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

Lex took a deep breath, “I’m old. I can no longer lead the Callahans. That’s why I’m leaving it to ourdistinguished youngsters. I know you’re dissatisfied with my decision. How about this? We’ll give Theaa three-month probation period. If she succeeds in multiplying the family’s assets, she’ll be eligible tobe the chairman. Only then will her family be entitled to the fifty percent stake.”

Lex glanced at the Callahans in the foyer and continued, “From today onward, both Howard and Johnwill 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, Ihope you’ll work together and bring the Callahans to greater heights.”

Initially, Howard and John were discontented.

However, after Lex explained 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 willbe the executive chairman. Howard will be the vice-chairman. Howard, you’ll assist: Thea in her workand help bring glory to the Callahans.” “Understood.”

Howard complied.

Tommy, on the other hand, did not. “Grandpa, we respect your decision. However, since Thea’sappointed as the executive chairman, she should be doing something for the family, Say, the Trade CityCenter business. Everyone has been setting up their businesses there. We can’t miss out. SinceThea’s the executive chairman, we should leave the matter in her hands. Let her lead the negotiationsfor us to set up our business there. We’ll recognize her as the leader of the Callahans only if shesucceeds.”

“That’s right.”

“I agree. Let Thea lead the negotiations. I heard we needed assets amounting to over five billion to setup 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 nosimple matter. If Thea succeeds in her negotiations, we’ll acknowledge her.” Following Tommy’ssuggestions, everyone shared their thoughts. Upon hearing this, Lex glanced at Thea.

Thea was unsure of herself and was reluctant to commit.

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 Callahans to set uptheir 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 stirredtrouble for her.

Meanwhile, Tommy looked as if his evil machinations had come 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 theCallahans had amounted to only one and a half billion. They were far from getting a spot
