As ten percent was a substantial amount, she was worried that grandfather would not agree to it.The only thing she could do now was wait.
Soon, Howard returned to Common Clinic.Alone this time, he had the transfer agreement for the shares with him.
"Thea, dad has signed the agreement.Once Benjamin signs here, he will own ten percent of the family’s shares.Now that you have the transfer agreement, could you call Alex and tell him to resume the partnership with Eternality?"
Thea studied the agreement carefully.Once she verified that it was authentic, she cheered in joy.
"Jamie, grandfather has agreed! Yes! Finally, my dad will have some standing...."
"Thea, please call Alex.The trucks are at Eternality taking the materials away.Once we get this out of the way, we can celebrate properly later," Howard said.
Thea looked at James.
James nodded, saying, "Call him."
"S-should I?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Thea was nervous.
Alex owed James a favor after all, not her.James said, "Of course.Go for it."
Thea made the call and explained the situation to Alex.He did not hesitate, and the partnership was back on just like that.
Listening to the conversation, Howard heaved a sigh of relief as they reached an agreement.
Even though he had to give up ten percent of the shares, the funds would multiply as long as they had the partnership with Eternality.The Callahans’ business would boom again in no time.
"Thea, dad will be turning eighty in ten days.Remember to drop by then.I'll be going now," Howard said before driving away.
"Jamie, let's go home and tell dad the good news!" Thea dragged James behind her.
James was content seeing Thea so happy.He went home with Thea.
The door was closed.
Thea was extremely nervous as she held the contract.
Softly, she knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened.
A pretty woman in her twenties wearing a dress and sandals stood there.She was David’s wife, Alyssa Myers.
Alyssa looked disgusted.
Resentfully, she said, "Why are you here? Dad and mom don’t want to see you.Just leave."
She shut the door with a slam.David's voice rang out.
"Alyssa? Who was that?"
Alyssa said, "Nobody."
David knew that it was Thea immediately.He opened the door and saw her holding a contract, tears pooling in her eyes.He pulled her in and said, "Come in, Thea.Dad and mom are out."
Quickly, Alyssa stepped in front of David.
Coldly, she said, "David, what are you doing? If mom finds out that you let her in, you can forget about the money for your car."
David was home for two reasons.
First, he was there for his parents since the family was in trouble.
Second, he knew that Gladys had just gotten an extra two million dollars.
As he was thinking of upgrading his car, he was back to bug Gladys for money.It was actually the money James was given to leave Thea back when he used to pick her up from work.
"What are you doing here, you cursed girl?" Just then, a middle-aged woman with a golden retriever approached.It was Gladys.She looked disgusted when she saw Thea.
"Miom.
"Don’t call me mom.I have no such daughter."
Thea’s eyes were full of tears, but she swallowed them.
Instead, she showed her mom the contract.
"Grandfather has agreed for me to come home.He even gave mea transfer agreement for some shares.Once we sign the contract, we’ll own ten percent of the shares.I’m here to bring it to dad."
