James raised his hands. “How am I supposed to know that? I’m not an expert in this field.”
Thea sighed. “Alright, stop bickering already. Jamie was just being considerate. I’ll make the relevant preparations. I’ll go to the office tomorrow to prepare the related documents and hand them in for submission. If it doesn’t work, then so be it. Grandpa should know that this is an impossible mission. So, even if I fail, he won’t make life difficult for me.”
“Yeah.” Gladys nodded. At this point, that was the only thing they could do.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was still in a trance.
Fifty percent shares.
He never expected in his wildest dreams to be granted fifty percent of the family’s shares.
David, too, had forgotten about his earlier dejection. He exclaimed excitedly, “Father, grandpa said you have the right to redistribute your shares. I’m your only son. Quick, give me twenty-five percent.”
Benjamin glanced at Gladys.
Even though he had the right to redistribute them, Gladys had the final say.
Gladys smacked David on the head and said, “Thea still has to undergo a three-month probation period before she becomes the official chairman, yet here you are thinking about dividends? At least wait till she’s secured her position!”
“Mom, we can still get a lot in three months. Have Dad give me my shares first. I’ll use the money from the next three months to buy a villa for my in-laws.”
Upon hearing this, Alyssa was delighted. “Thanks, darling.”
Gladys glanced at James and said, “Look at him. What a considerate son-in-law. He thinks of his in-laws when he gets rich. What about you?”
James scratched his nose.
Was he not thinking for the Callahans?
If he was not, how did Thea become the chairman? Would Benjamin have gotten the fifty percent shares?
David immediately understood the situation and spoke, “Mom, it’s not that I wasn’t thinking about you. However, now that dad has gotten his shares, you’d be able to afford a villa in just a few months. Meanwhile, my mother-in-law’s family is cramped in a small hundred square meter house.”
“It’s alright.” Gladys waved him off. “I’m not mad. Since the Myers have entrusted their daughter to you, you should help them out now that we’re rich.”
Alyssa was grateful. “Thank you, mom.”
