James knew that Thea cared about her family’s opinion the most.
Over the past ten years, she had been looked down upon. She desperately wished for her family’s acknowledgment and approval.
“Thea, do you want to go back?”
Thea nodded lightly. “Yes.”
James looked at Howard and his family, still standing at the entrance. Mildly, he said, “Thea will return under one condition. Kneel and beg her to.”
“James…” Tommy got angry at once, a vein pulsing on his face. “You have no authority in the family. Thea didn’t even say anything. Who are you to make these demands?”
James said, “If you won’t kneel, have Lex come personally. Otherwise, she won’t be returning.”
Thea pulled on James’ sleeve gently, telling him to stop talking. They were a family after all, and she did not want things to be awkward.
“Thea, you’re too softhearted. Since they’re at your mercy, they’d grant all your requests.”
“R-really?”
“Of course! Think about it. With Celestial terminating the partnership, it’s their loss. They need you. Just tell them what you want.”
Thea had an idea.
Her thoughts had been muddled for the past few days, but what James said reminded her of something.
All these years, the entire family had looked down upon her dad. He had no standing in the family at all.
Even though he was the manager, he owned no shares.
Her parents had argued countless times over this matter.
She thought about it and said, “I’ll come home if grandfather transfers ten percent of Eternality’s shares to my dad. If he disagrees, I guess I won’t be going home. Also, he has to kneel.”
