I’ll Raise Some Money
As soon as James heard this, he slumped on the couch. What he feared most had finally happened.
He and Helen would never be able to run away from this if the company’s ledgers had really been
leaked.
Meanwhile, Liam was stunned. Initially, he intended to use the transactions to blackmail James and
Helen to force Matthew to take the blame.
However, he no longer had any leverage on them now that the ledgers had been exposed.
“H-How did they get exposed?” James stammered.
Helen replied, “I heard that it was the Jacksons who leaked them.”
Trembling in fear, he stuttered, “I was wondering why they pulled out from the investment. Turns out that
they had planned this for quite a while.”
“What should we do now?” Demi asked nervously. The ledgers included her expenses, so she would not
be able to escape from this either.
At that moment, everyone went speechless. Then, James and Helen looked at Sasha.
“Didn’t I tell you not to do things that compromise your integrity? All of you refused to listen and insisted
that it was a business technique. Now, you’re reaping what you sowed! Didn’t you know that the
Jacksons were one of our partners? You guys were obviously trying to cheat them by doing what you did.
Did you take them for fools? What are you going to do now that things have turned out like this?” Sasha
gritted through her teeth.
At that moment, James and Helen deeply regretted not listening to Sasha. They even regretted letting
Liam join the construction company. If it wasn’t for him, they could’ve earned around 5 billion in peace:
that would have been great. However, not only did they not get any advantage, the Cunninghams were
about to go down.
When everyone went silent, Matthew finally spoke. “It’s not completely impossible to solve this. We could
do a fundraiser and look for people to finance us to give them a refund. With that, the buyers will show us
mercy and let us off.”
Upon hearing this, James and Helen looked at each other. Then, Helen said softly, “Do you know how
much money we’re supposed to pay back? I heard we’d need around 56 billion. How could you raise so
much money?”
“I’ll think of a way. We’ll have to give it a try no matter what,” Matthew reassured.
Sighing, they nodded helplessly. “Alright, then. I’ll leave the construction company to you. Don’t let us
down, okay?”
After nodding, he was about to leave when Sasha stopped him. “Hold on. Mom, Dad, there’s something
that I need to make clear.”
Helen frowned. “What is it?”
“Matthew can raise the funds, but I hope you’ll never involve yourselves in the company’s matters from
now on. Also, remove Liam from the company and stop hiring your people to work in the company! ”
Sasha replied.
Quickly, Demi questioned, “What are you doing? What’s wrong with my husband working at our
company? Mom and Dad are well alive in front of us. Who are you to make such decisions?”
Suddenly, James slammed his palm on the table. “Shut up! I’ve thought it through. I wouldn’t let Liam
stay at the company even if Sasha didn’t say anything. People like him will only bring about trouble
rather than accomplishments. Keeping him would affect the company’s development. From now on,
Liam, don’t you dare enter the construction company. Otherwise, I’ll kick you out of my house!”
