Sasha was surprised. “Mom, wasn’t Liam the one who has been concerned with the construction company the whole time?”
Helen explained, “You didn’t understand what I meant. Your Dad is the construction company’s largest shareholder, and thus, its owner. As you know, your Dad always keeps himself busy, so it’s too tiring for him to keep an eye on the construction company’s affairs every day. That’s why I wonder if we can simply leave the whole construction company to Matthew. After all, he is young, so it won’t be a problem for him to take up more burden. Isn’t it so?”
Sasha looked confused as she couldn’t figure out what was happening right now.
Helen and James had wanted to have the whole construction company to themselves before, and they even kicked up a fuss about this. Moreover, just three days ago, they forced Matthew to hand over his shares in the construction company, and the procedure for transferring these shares was nearly completed.
Why would Helen suddenly suggest that they leave the whole construction company in Matthew’s hands at this time?
Demi chimed in with a broad smile, “Mom, it goes without saying that Matthew must have no problem with this! He should take over the construction company since it was originally a gift from Stanley to him. You and Dad are so old, so you two should actually relax instead of burdening yourselves with so many responsibilities. Matthew, why don’t you quit your job at the hospital and concentrate on managing the construction company? You’ll certainly make more money from real estate than from working at the hospital.”
Sasha frowned. She asked directly, “Mom, did something happen? W-What exactly do you all want to do?”
Helen and the other avoided her gaze upon hearing her questions.
Helen snapped impatiently, “What else could have happened? It’s just that I don’t want your Dad to work so hard since he’s getting old. Why would you suspect us? We’re your parents, so we won’t harm you.”
The furrows in Sasha’s brow deepened; she could tell by instinct that there must be something fishy behind this. Suddenly, she asked, “Could you all be deliberately trying to make Matthew a scapegoat after getting into some trouble?”
Helen and the others turned pale at her words.
Seeing their expressions, Sasha blew up at once and yelled, “As expected, this was what happened! W- What have you all done this time?”
Helen, James, Liam, and Demi looked embarrassed. Demi muttered in a low voice, “What could we have done? Stop being skeptical of other people’s sincerity, Sasha. Dad and Mom just want Matthew to strive for the better by giving him some opportunities—”
Sasha interrupted her right away, “You’re not going to tell me the truth, are you? Alright, then. Just wait while I send someone to the construction company right now to find it out!”
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone to make a phone call.
The few others were shocked; the matter would definitely come to light if Sasha really sent someone to look into it!
Helen hastily said, “Don’t make the call, Sasha.”
Holding her cell phone, Sasha barked, “Then tell me what exactly has happened!”
Helen looked embarrassed as she didn’t know how she should say it.
Just then, Liam spoke softly, “It’s nothing, actually. The construction company invested in a new development project recently, but the project is a little troublesome. Dad has negotiated about it several times, but he really can’t fix the trouble. Since Matthew has a wide range of contacts, we thought it’d be better to transfer the shares to him and let him deal with this matter. Firstly, we can get the development project done; secondly, Matthew can train himself; thirdly, our investment won’t go down the drain this way!”
Helen and Demi nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, that’s right! That’s exactly what happened!”
Sasha still frowned. “Really? Is the matter really that simple?”
Demi immediately asked, “Sasha, are you even suspicious of your family members? Do you think that I will harm you as your younger sister?”
