Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel 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, I 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.”

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

Benjamin, on the other hand, was flattered.

It was surprising.

He received not just fifty percent of Eternality Group but fifty percent of everything the Callahans owned.

Lex took a deep breath, “I’m old. I can no longer lead the Callahans. 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 succeeds 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.”
