Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1344 Split Evenly into Four Parts

Ryan whipped out a pen and slashed through the clause about the shares. "Take this out, or I'm not signing," he said, his voice calm but firm.

Micah let out a heavy sigh, worry lines creasing his face. "Ryan, keeping VIC Group afloat isn't a walk in the park. With me around, things run smoothly. Handing you my role is doable, but this will only kicks in if I'm gone. You gotta understand, once I'm out of the picture, the group's gonna be in chaos. You'll be under a ton of pressure and maybe even in danger. So, giving you ten percent of the shares isn't too much."

Ryan shook his head, standing his ground. "Do you think giving me all those shares will make those problems disappear? What needs to be faced will still be there, shares or no shares. Both my daughters are married and living abroad. They're doing fine and don't need the money. I wouldn't even know what to do with all those shares. Having too many will just paint a target on my back, making things even riskier. Just let me live a few more peaceful years."

Micah felt a wave of emotions. Ryan's stubborn honesty left him with no room to argue. Over the years, VIC Group had seen a lot of ups and downs. People came and went, but Ryan, always a challenge yet reliable, had been a rock during critical times.

"Thank you," Micah said, genuinely touched. He didn't want to get all mushy, but that simple "Thank you" carried a lot of weight.

"I should be thanking you for your contributions to tech," Ryan replied sincerely. "We couldn't have pushed tech products commercially on our own. You used your strengths, combined with the market and your skills, to help me make the most of my remaining energy."

"It's a team effort," Micah smiled. "If you don't want the shares, ask for anything else, and I'll do my best to make it happen."

"Nothing comes to mind right now. When I think of something, I'll let you know," Ryan said as he stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll head out. There's a new product test today, and I need to check it out." "Go ahead," Micah nodded. "See Ryan out."

"Yes," Andrew replied. He stepped forward and respectfully said. "This way, Ryan."

Ryan got up to leave, but as he reached the door, he turned back to Micah. "By the way, Mr. Clemens, I'd like to replace a chance to meet with Noah alone. I think he has a lot of potential, and I'd love to chat about tech with him." Micah's eyes lit up. "He's at home now. Andrew, set it up."

Andrew immediately took Ryan to replace Noah, who was busy tinkering with a small invention. Seeing Ryan, Noah greeted him respectfully, and the two started chatting excitedly in the study. Andrew had Rebecca stay nearby to assist them and then went downstairs to replace Micah.

As he descended, an attendant rushed up. "Andrew, a Ms. Graham is here to see Mr. Clemens!" he reported.
