All of a sudden, James and Helen looked extremely embarrassed. In order to prevent Sasha from
investing, they had made a huge scene; they kneeled before her and even threatened to jump off the
building. In the end, Sasha finally withdrew the 200 million.
Moreover, at that time, in order to save on interest, they even distributed the 200 million to the
shareholders who wanted to invest in Matthew. James and Helen had been extremely delighted then.
Everybody said that their plan had saved the company millions on interest, but who would’ve thought that
Matthew would win? It was a shock to all of them!
Those shareholders who chose to invest in Matthew indeed made a lot of money. They even clamored to
host a celebration banquet because of this while James and Helen were regretting not investing in him.
They had just lost the opportunity to make billions!
When they thought back to how they forced Sasha to withdraw the investment, they blushed in
embarrassment. They had no one to blame but themselves for missing out on earning billions.
After a while, Helen cleared her throat and said, “Saying all of this now is pointless because nobody can
foresee the future. At that time, this investment didn’t look promising. Your father and I made the decision
that we thought was best for you. We didn’t think that the investment would make money.
You can’t blame us for this. Besides, we’re now talking about Matthew’s commission. Matthew, you
should talk to Stanley again and see if you can ask for more money. He has made tens of billions. It
shouldn’t be a problem for you to ask for a few hundred million!”
Sasha was so furious that her hands were trembling. “Mom, you really are good at ordering people
around! Why don’t you go and ask Stanley for a few hundred million?
Who says that he has to give someone a few hundred million because he earned a few billion? What if
his investment failed? Would you compensate him for his loss?”
Helen was infuriated. “I’m talking to Matthew. This has nothing to do with you! Besides, do you think that
the example you gave is the same with the situation right now? Matthew worked for him and as a result,
he made a lot of money. Shouldn’t he give Matthew some of it? Why are you talking about failed
investments? This investment he made didn’t fail!”
Sasha was speechless. She really couldn’t reason with her mother.
With a sullen expression, James then said, “Matthew, you’re not a child anymore, so don’t be fooled by a
few words. You’ve helped Stanley make a lot of money.
No matter what, this commission should be collected by percentage. You’re a grown man so you should
use your brain. You can’t just do whatever other people tell you to do. Go and find Stanley tomorrow and
ask him to give you a five percent commission.”
Helen hurriedly nodded in agreement. Stanley made a few billion, so five percent would come to at least
be a few ten million, right? With that amount of money, I can buy whatever I want.
However, Sasha was annoyed. “Dad, how can you ask Stanley to give Matthew five percent of his
earnings?”
James angrily said, “Because it’s the reasonable thing to do! Matthew helped him make a lot of money
so why can’t he give him commission?”
Hearing this, Sasha replied, “You should think about the risk he had to take for this investment. If his
investment failed, he would lose everything. Would anyone give him money if that happened?”
Exasperated, James said, “Sasha, what are you trying to achieve? Why are you thinking about Stanley
when you should think about your husband?
Since he chose to invest, he should know that there is a possibility of making a loss. The person who
makes the investments should be the one who bears the responsibility. His loss doesn’t matter to us.”
Sasha replied, “I’m not thinking what’s best for Stanley. I just think that your decision is wrong. Don’t you
know what kind of a person Stanley is? You’re asking Matthew to ask him for a lot of money. Do you
think Stanley is an idiot? If you anger him, wouldn’t Matthew be in trouble?”
