Matthew couldn’t help but frown. It’s obvious that Liam is sowing discord. However, the main problem is
that he is really skilled at making James and Helen like him.
Furious, Sasha yelled, “Liam, what are you implying? If you didn’t introduce us to a con man and create
such trouble, would we even have the need to cough up an extra 100 million to appease the
shareholders? If we hadn’t promised them 100 million, we would’ve been sent to jail. How could you
make such sarcastic remarks?”
Liam smirked and said, “But we’re not in jail, right? Only one day has passed and Mr. Jones was
captured and we got our money back. This isn’t a big deal. However, 100 million is not a small amount.
I’m sure Matthew won’t be able to earn 100 million even if he worked for a few lifetimes.”
James and Helen had cold expressions. The thought of giving such a large sum of money to others
upset them.
In the end, James couldn’t hold back his anger and yelled angrily, “Sasha, stop defending Matthew! Liam
is right! This incident is not serious at all. The con man was captured in a short time and there is no need
for us to be sent to jail. However, because of Matthew’s words, we will have to lose 100 million. In my
opinion, the person who should be sent to jail is him!”
Helen nodded in agreement and said, “Your father is right! This is our family’s asset. A live-in son-in-law
like him is not qualified to decide where the money goes. Sasha, tell the shareholders that if they want
the 100 million, they should ask Matthew for it. The Cunningham family will not pay even a penny!”
Sasha’s body trembled in anger. “Dad, Mom, why can’t you be reasonable? In that situation where
everybody was filled with anger, do you think they would have calmed down if we didn’t give them a
promise? The 100 million helped us solve the problem. Otherwise, we would’ve been grabbed by the
collar!”
However, Liam muttered, “But there was no need to promise them 100 million as compensation…”
A flicker appeared in Helen’s eyes. “He’s right, one million should be enough. We should’ve promised
them five million at most. However, Matthew proposed 100 million. Do you think that our money falls from
the sky? Matthew, you contribute nothing to the company but you spend our money shamelessly!”
Sasha almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Her parents’ thoughts almost caused her to breakdown. Just
then, a group of people suddenly barged in. It was the same group of shareholders from the day before.
“President Cunningham, I heard that the company got the money back!” a shareholder screamed in
delight.
James spoke first and said, “Yes, we got the money back. However, it was the police who helped us and
Matthew had nothing to do with it, which is why the 100 million that Matthew promised you is voided!”
Helen quickly nodded in agreement and she looked delighted.
Shifting all the responsibility onto Matthes is the right choice. In this case, we get to save money.
The shareholders immediately got angry after they heard James.
“You promised us 100 million! Why are you going back on your words?”
“Why the sudden change of heart?”
“President Cunningham, you have to give us a satisfactory answer!”
Embarrassed, Sasha hurriedly waved her hands and said, “Everybody, there’s no need to worry. We’ll
definitely fulfil Matthew’s promise. The 100 million will be distributed…”
James directly interrupted Sasha and yelled, “Impossible! That was a promise that Matthew made. If you
want the money, ask Matthew for it. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals has no relations with him.”
Sasha was anxious. “Dad!”
“Zip your mouth!” James roared angrily. “You don’t have the right to speak!”
Helen meaningfully said, “Sasha, your father is doing this for your own good. We’re talking about 100
million here. Think about how long it will take to make back that amount of money.”
With a smile, Liam said, “She’s right. Sasha, we can save 100 million just by letting Matthew bear the
burden. It’s definitely worth it!”
