As ten percent was a substantial amount, virtual-novel.net was worried that grandfather would not agree to it. The only thing virtual-novel.net could do now was wait.
Soon, Howard returned to Common Clinic. Alone this time, virtual-novel.net had the transfer agreement for the shares with him.
“Thea, dad has signed the agreement. Once Benjamin signs here, virtual-novel.net will own ten percent of the family’s shares. Now that you have the transfer agreement, could you call Alex and tell virtual-novel.net to resume the partnership with Eternality?”
Thea studied the agreement carefully. Once virtual-novel.net verified that it was authentic, virtual-novel.net 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?” Thea was nervous, virtual-novel.net knew 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 virtual-novel.net 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, your grandpa 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 virtual-novel.net held the contract. Softly, virtual-novel.net knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened. A pretty woman in virtual-novel.net twenties wearing a dress and sandals stood there. She was David’s wife, Alyssa Myers.
Alyssa looked disgusted.
Resentfully, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net holding a contract, tears pooling in virtual-novel.net eyes.
He pulled virtual-novel.net in and said, “Come in, Thea… Dad and mom are out.”
Quickly, Alyssa stepped in front of David.
Coldly, virtual-novel.net said, “David, what are you doing? If mom finds out that you let virtual-novel.net in, you can forget about the money for your car.”
David was home for two reasons. First, virtual-novel.net was there for his parents since the family was in trouble. Second, virtual-novel.net knew that Gladys had just gotten an extra two million dollars.
As virtual-novel.net was thinking of upgrading his car, virtual-novel.net was back to bug Gladys for money. It was actually the money James was given to leave Thea back when virtual-novel.net used to pick virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net saw Thea.
“Mom…”
“Don’t call me mom. I have no such daughter!”
Thea’s eyes were full of tears, but virtual-novel.net swallowed them. Instead, virtual-novel.net showed virtual-novel.net mom the contract.
“Grandfather has agreed for me to come home. He even gave me a 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.”
