The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 165

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 shares was 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 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 Callahans 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 glanced at Benjamin. “All these years, Benjamin has been working diligently. And though he received no shares, he did not complain. I declare that Benjamin will be given fifty percent of the family’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 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 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 a Callahan?” 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 the Callahans’ 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 business deals 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 

“We should be able to gather a hundred million. However, setting up a business there in itself is no simple matter. If Thea succeeds in her negotiations, we’ll acknowledge her.” Following Tommy’s suggestions, 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 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 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 the Callahans had amounted to only one and a half billion. They were far from getting a spot
