I’ll Make Him Resign
“Dad, how could you do business like this? Who will ever trust you again in the future?” Sasha asked.
“This is detrimental to your reputation and demonstrates a lack of integrity!”
With that, James explained earnestly, “It’s one billion, Sasha! I won’t ever have to work another day in my
life if I could make a billion. Do I still need anyone’s trust then?” Then, he continued, “Besides, I won’t
have to trade in Eastcliff anymore after getting a billion dollars. I could trade elsewhere, where no one
knows who I am, so who would know what I’ve done? You can only expand your business if you have
enough capital. Doing real estate business means going around cheating money from stupid people.”
Furious, she exploded, “I strongly disagree with your reasoning, and I’ll never allow something like this to
happen in our family!”
After that, she turned toward Matthew and said, “Fire Liam tomorrow. Make him pay back all the money
that he stole from the company!”
Hearing that, Matthew nodded. We’re on the same page!
Just then, Helen banged her fist on the table and stood up all of a sudden. “Don’t you dare, Matthew! If
you fire him, I’ll… I’ll jump off the building tomorrow! I’ll kill myself if you stop us from getting rich! Sasha,
fire Liam if you want me to die.”
“Mom… how could you be so unreasonable? It’s not right to act this way…” Sasha’s head pounded in
exasperation.
Waving her hand, Helen replied, “I’m sick of listening to you preach at me. Let me tell you this: We’ve
been too kind, and that’s why we were taken advantage of by your grandpa. From that, I finally
understand that you’ll be bullied if you’re too kind. I’ll never let anyone take advantage of me anymore.
I’d rather die than get bullied.”
At that moment, Sasha was trembling with anger. She was tired of her mother using the same thing to
threaten her every time.
As for James, he stared at Matthew coldly. “You did really well with the Campbells previously. To be
honest, your performance has been outstanding during this period. I’m fortunate to have you as my son-
in-law. And I’ve been thinking, our lives will be better once we get rich after settling the construction
company’s matters. You and Sasha will have a baby, and we’ll take care of it. We’ll be a harmonious
family. But let me say this: If you insist on going your way and going against us regarding the
construction company’s matters, you’ll no longer be part of our family from now onward! By then, don’t
even dream of seeing Sasha again!” After saying that, James threw his cup on the table and walked
away in a huff.
It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham are adamant about earning that sum of money unscrupulously.
As soon as Matthew and Sasha went back to their room, she cried, “How could Mom and Dad do this? T-
This is fraud. I can’t just sit here and do nothing.”
Patting her head, he comforted her, “I don’t think we should force it. It’d be easy to persuade him
regarding other matters, but one billion is involved this time, so they’ll never listen to us. I’m afraid
something might happen if you play hardball and go against them. They’re even willing to commit suicide
for that money.”
“Then… what should we do?” she asked anxiously.
After pondering upon the issue for a moment, he told her softly, “Just let it be for now. I’m almost done on
my side, so I’ll probably settle this issue within the next two days.”
Surprised, she questioned, “You’ll settle it? How are you going to deal with Liam?”
He shook his head. “I won’t fire him; I’ll make him resign!”
