The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 

James’ words were met with discontent from the Callahans. 

Tommy yelled at him, “Who do you think you are, meddling in the affairs of the Callahans?” Megan recalled how James humiliated her in front of everyone and how she was forced to kneel at Yuna’s banquet yesterday. Upset, she berated him sarcastically, “The remaining three are falling soon? Who do you think you are? Alex Yates? Do you get to decide their fates?” Gladys, too, reprimanded him, “What an embarrassment. Can’t you just keep your mouth shut?” 

Thea shot James a disgruntled look, insinuating that he should have kept his thoughts to himself. 

She did not feel confident in leading the Callahans to glory. Becoming an influential family required not just wealth but also strong connections. 

Lex completely ignored James and fixed his gaze on Thea. “Thea, Listen. I’ll give you three years. If you can transform us into an influential family and grow our assets by a dozen times within that time, I’ll give you fifty percent of the Group’s shares. And I promise you’ll remain the executive chairman of the Callahans family business.” 

“I…” Thea was intimidated. How would she be able to grow the family’s assets by that much in three years? She was not omnipotent. 

Gladys shot her a look “Why hesitate?” The look implied. “Accept his offer and acquire the shares.” Thea glanced at her family. Gladys, Benjamin, David, and Alyssa looked at her in anticipation. 

She contemplated for a while. “Grandpa, I’m not making any promises. However, if I’m in charge of the Callahans’ family business, I’ll do my best to bring glory to the family. I’ll work hard for us to become an influential and powerful family.” 

Lex was relieved upon hearing this. 

Thea’s connections were extraordinary. If Thea wholeheartedly devoted herself to the Callahans’ cause, it was likely the family’s status would grow. Lex stood up. “A deal’s a deal. Thea, come to the Callahan residence for the negotiations on the redistribution of shares. Don’t worry. I won’t go back on my word.” “Thank you, grandpa, for having faith in me.” Thea stood with a look of gratitude on her face. 

“We’ll take our leave.” 

Lex turned to leave. 

Howard and the others followed close behind. Their expressions were grim.
