The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

It was also Thea who put the Callahans in extreme danger last time. Howard slammed his hand on the table and growled angrily, “Benjamin, this is too much. How can you be late?! Do you think you’re greater than us now that you have the family shares? Do you think we deserve to wait for you?”

 “I’m sorry, Howard,” Benjamin’s head hung low as he apologized. 

Thea came over and said, “Howard, it was me who caused the delay. It’s not my dad’s fault.” 

Howard became even more furious. 

“Thea, don’t you understand our rules? Family meetings are of the utmost importance. Just because you have something with the CEO of Celestial Group doesn’t mean you can ignore the rules.” 

“Yeah, because of you, we almost died at Trent Xavier’s hands.” 

“Thank god I wasn’t home that day, or else I’d definitely be canceled in Cansington.” 

“You jinx! You dare to ask for a 10% share after all that?” The Callahans talked over each other as they berated Thea’s family. 

“Enough,” Lex announced, finally stopping the dispute. 

James Caden remained silent. He was a son-in-law in this family, so he had to be quiet in order to not attract any more trouble for Thea. Now that all of the family members were here, Lex commenced the meeting.

” Tomorrow will very likely be the succession ceremony of the Blithe king. There is word that only 100 seats are available. Think, voice any ideas to get our hands on those seats.” 

Nobody in the hall spoke. How could that be possible? 

There were so many affluent families in the five regions. It would never be their Turn as they were of a lower class. 

“Why, are we all mule? I thought you were a talkative bunch?” Lex glared across the room before he yelled furiously, “Look at yourselves. When you’re fighting for my legacy, you couldn’t be any louder, but all of you hide when it comes to helping your own family!” 

“Grandpa, let Thea go do it,” Tommy Callahan, of the third generation of the  Callahans suggested. 

“Thea is Alex’s lover. She can go sleep with him once more. With his influence, it wouldn’t be hard to get us a seat.”
