Helen and the others were dumbfounded at once.
Just as Sasha had said, how could Tiger possibly care about that bit of a salary? Why didn’t he choose to make money with Stanley’s current capabilities and resources? Why did he have to work at Wellness Herbary?
Tiger could definitely take all their clients and resources away if he started a pharmaceutical company himself. Not only would Wellness Herbary collapse, but even Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would be in trouble by then.
After thinking about it for a long time, Demi had no choice but to ask, “Forget it. Just say it out then… What exactly does Julian want?”
Since they couldn’t get rid of Julian, they could only compromise.
Sasha answered, “Julian said that the 300 million came from Wellness Herbary; you guys can’t take the money away just like that. Moreover, he isn’t optimistic about your project, so you can only get the money by borrowing it from the company. Of course, the company is not asking you to pay any interest fees—you guys just have to write an IOU and borrow the money according to standard procedure.”
James, Helen, and the others looked at each other in dismay. Helen then argued desperately, “Sasha, do we seriously need to write an IOU to borrow money from our own family company? Is it even necessary to go through so much trouble?”
Sasha insisted in a grim tone, “Mom, that was what Julian requested. He won’t give the money if you all don’t write the IOU.”
Helen turned to look at Demi and Liam in resignation.
Demi knitted her brows before suddenly asking, “Matthew, are you playing tricks behind this? Julian is your friend—you must’ve told him to do so, am I right? What a despicable person you are! You deliberately laid a trap for us behind our backs, didn’t you?”
Upon hearing her words, James and Helen glared at Matthew angrily.
Sasha immediately refuted, “Don’t blame everything on Matthew! The Board of Directors wouldn’t have approved the investment this time had he not helped me to convince the shareholders. As for Julian’s request, the Board of Directors have agreed to that as well, so Matthew has nothing to do with it!”
Demi sneered. “You don’t have to speak up for him, Sasha! We aren’t fools. Would he really have nothing to do with this just because you said so? This son of a b*tch is a bad guy. How could he possibly be so kind-hearted as to help us? He must have pulled some tricks behind all of this!”
Helen also shouted abuse at Matthew, whereas James glared at him threateningly. It seemed like they were ready to start a fight again.
Matthew spoke softly with a sigh. “Dad, Mom, I know that you two won’t believe me, so I’m not going to explain anything. All I want to say is this: why do you have to care whether this money is borrowed or invested if you are confident in your investment? Even if the money is invested, you’d still have to give the money back to Wellness Herbary by then.”
Demi immediately argued, “How are both situations the same? They’re different in nature! We’d have to write an IOU if the money is borrowed, but we won’t have to do so if the money is invested!”
Matthew said softly, “What’s wrong with writing an IOU since Julian doesn’t need you all to pay the interest? Are you guys concerned about writing an IOU because you’re not confident in this investment? If that’s the case, you’d better not invest the money. After all, 300 million isn’t a small amount!”
Demi’s face flushed crimson at once. She and Liam wanted to invest the money in real estate this time, so how could she put up with what Matthew had said?
She shouted, “That’s sheer nonsense! Dad and Mom are surely confident of the investment this time round!”
Sasha immediately urged, “Since all of you have the confidence in it, there’s no need to care about such minute details. Write an IOU, and the 300 million will be transferred to your bank account today.”
Having no other alternative, Demi turned to look at James with an embarrassed look. “Dad, w-why don’t you write the IOU?”
James furrowed his brows. Such a situation made him feel uncomfortable; he did not expect that he’d have to write an IOU.
