Chapter 26 Gladys was out the entire day, so she missed the news. She was unaware of the press conference the chairman of the Celestial Group had held, the fact that Celestial Group had canceled their partnership with Eternality, and how Thea had leveraged her return to the family against Lex by making him pass ten percent of the shares over to them. She froze at Thea’s words. “Transfer letter for ten percent of the shares? What share?” 

Gladys stared blankly at the document Thea held out. “Mom, grandpa wrote this transfer contract,” Thea said. “He signed it himself. If dad signs it too, ten percent of the family’s shares will be his.” Gladys promptly snatched the file from Thea’s hands and read through the contents carefully She cheered in delight when she was done, hugging and kissing the contract.” Haha! It’s real!” she squealed. “It’s an actual transfer contract! We finally have ten percent of the shares! The old man finally came to his senses!” 

“Let me see that, Mom,” David said incredulously. Lex held most of the family’s shares. The other family members had some, too, but never his immediate family. 

Gladys happily passed the file to him. “Didn’t you always want a new car, Davie? Let’s get you a brand new one tomorrow! It’ll be one that’s far more presentable. You’ll be the envy of the road!” David read through the contract, his face brightening with every line. He turned hurriedly to face Gladys. “Mom, even holding ten percent of the shares gets us a considerable amount of money when they hand out bonuses in the future! I’m planning to have a kid, but our place in the city is too small for that. Get Dad to pass me five percent of his share, Mom! I want a new house!” “There’s no rush! Whatever your father has will be yours one day!”
