Chapter 422
The next morning, Connor finished preparing everything. Thus, he called Matthew and asked him to head over. At the time, Matthew had been having breakfast at home. Hence, the entire family was listening in on his conversation while he was on the phone.
Demi was elated. “Is it the company Stanley will be giving us? How is it? Is it a real estate company?”
Matthew nodded. “Yes!”
She was extremely happy. “That’s great! Where will the takeover take place? We’ll go over right now to sign the papers!”
Upon hearing that, Sasha was taken aback. “Why are you signing the papers? Stanley’s company was given to Matthew. So, it’s obvious that Matthew will be the one to sign the papers and take over the company! If you signed the papers, won’t the company become yours?!”
Demi immediately pouted. “Sasha, these are just trivial matters. Why are you getting so worked up?”
Rendered speechless, Sasha thought to herself, The ownership of a company worth millions is considered a trivial matter?! If it’s such a trivial matter, then why are you so excited to sign the papers for the company acquisition?
“We discussed this and agreed to let Liam manage the company. However, we’ve never said that the company will belong to him! Matthew will be the one to sign the takeover contract!”
Demi was enraged. “Sasha, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that we are greedy for the company? Are you looking down on us?!”
Sasha retorted, “H-How am I looking down on you? Logically speaking, shouldn’t Matthew be the one to go?”
Then, Demi snapped, “Logically speaking? What logic were you basing that on? I’m your sister! Do you need to be so hung up on the details?! You agreed to let Liam manage the company. But, if the company isn’t in his name, will his subordinates listen to him?
If you aren’t willing to let go of your authority, then how will Liam make the company profitable? I never could’ve imagined that you would become such a stingy person!”
Sasha was incredibly incensed. I’m the stingy person for not giving you a company worth millions?! Do you have a habit of giving millions away to others?!
At that moment, Helen piped up suddenly, “That’s enough. Stop arguing. No matter whose name the company is under, it won’t be suitable. So, why don’t we do this instead? To be fair, we should let your father sign the papers later. The company will be in your father’s name!”
Sasha looked dumbfounded. How is that fair?! It’s Matthew’s company! How did it become Dad’s?! She agitatedly said, “Mom, Stanley gave the company to Matthew! Asking Dad to sign the papers… T-This isn’t right!”
Helen furiously said, “What do you mean it isn’t right?! What’s wrong with your father signing the papers?! Matthew, what do you say? Are we not family? Is there a problem with your father signing a contract on your behalf?”
Sasha responded angrily, “Don’t drag Matthew into this! You know he will never deny you anything! Why are you pressuring him? If you have something to say, say it to me!”
Helen snapped vexedly, “Sasha, what are you saying? What do you think of your parents? If you have something to say, just be direct with it! Even if your father and I need to go out and beg for food on the streets, we will never trouble you! How is that?!”
Sasha was trembling with anger. Every time we try to reason with Mom, she will start making a scene. This is driving me nuts! At that moment, Matthew spoke up softly, “Sasha, it’s fine.
The company belongs to the family. It doesn’t matter who signs the papers. Dad, why don’t you sign the contract later? I’ll let Stanley know!”
James nodded in satisfaction. “Matthew, you’re so considerate. Sure; since you’ve already said so, I’ll go with you.”
Then, Helen glared at Sasha. “Did you hear that?! Look at Matthew, then look at yourself! Do you know how you look right now? I can’t believe you’re willing to sacrifice your family for a bit of money!”
