Demi gritted her teeth and said, “What influence? This kept loser only knows to lie and deceive people.
Look at my elder sister—she was deceived by him. Jefford, his men and those from the Jackson Family
are all idiots. They were also deceived by him! Otherwise, who would cooperate with this boy toy?”
Helen whispered, “Then what should we do now? W-Why don’t we return the shares to Matthew?”
Demi said immediately, “No, absolutely not! I’m telling you, this time, Matthew must be the one causing
trouble behind the scenes. On the outside, he promised to give his shares to Dad, but he actually
contacted these people secretly and asked them to divest as a threat. In fact, he wants to force Dad to
return the shares to him. Hmph, I think these people are just putting up a show to scare us. How could
they give up on such a lucrative project? If we insist on not returning the shares to Matthew, or even act
like we want to return the funds to them, these people will immediately be frightened and back off.”
Helen was at a loss. “Is that really the case?”
Liam nodded. “Demi is right. This kind of thing is very common in business; joining forces with
outsiders to intimidate us is such an underhanded trick. However, if we have a tough attitude, these
people will still prioritize their interests in the end, so the most important thing now is our attitude! As
long as we do not give in, they will eventually compromise. No one will give up on such a lucrative
project.”
James nodded slowly. “Yes! Profit is paramount to businessmen. As long as we have a tough attitude,
they won’t give up these billions of profit just for Matthew, right?”
Helen, however, was still a little worried. “But what if they insist? W-We can’t afford for this matter to blow
up!”
“Mom, don’t worry.” Liam chuckled. “So what if they insist? No big deal. We can find other investors! Why
are you worried about finding investors for such a good and profitable project? Let me tell you this, as
long as I spread the news about this project, countless people will immediately come to us for
investment. When the time comes, we can use the money of these investors to return the funds of those
people before. Problem solved!”
James suddenly smiled. “What a great idea! Liam, you’re so clever. Let’s do as you say. Demi, call
Sasha and tell her to prepare to let Jefford and the others divest. Also, ask her to tell Jefford and the
others that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals will not accept their investment for any future projects as well.
The Cunningham Family won’t have any cooperation with them ever again! Tell them that this is what I
said!”
James had on an arrogant expression, as if he was already a man at the pinnacle of his success.
Demi nodded excitedly. “Dad, I agree with what you said. We must have a tough attitude, otherwise, they
will think we are pushovers and threaten us at will! Just give me a moment to call my sister.”
With that, Demi happily called Sasha and told what James said to her with great exaggeration.
After hearing this, Sasha was furious and immediately called James.
However, he didn’t answer his phone at all and instead made Liam drive faster to catch up with Alaric.
When James managed to stop Alaric, he announced with an arrogant expression, “Mr. Jackson, I’ve
considered what you said just now. Since you don’t want to cooperate with the Cunningham Family, then
I won’t force you. Don’t worry; I will definitely return the funds to the Jackson Family!”
