“H-How is that possible? The money has already returned to the construction company? Don’t you know about this?” James scolded Liam, who looked equally lost. “Mr. Cunningham, I… I didn’t know either. The last time I checked, there were only a few million in the company account.”
James roared angrily, “When was the last time you checked? Have you checked the company accounts after the 300 million was transferred?”
After hearing this, Liam was instantly at a loss for words. Since they transferred 300 million to Young Master Lach, he shifted his attention to the villa area and stopped bothering about the construction company’s affairs.
Moreover, after Liam saw that there wasn’t much money in the construction company’s account, he was no longer interested in it. After that, he never really checked the company’s account so he naturally didn’t know about the latest situation in the construction company. It was only after he heard Matthew’s explanation did he realize what he had missed out on. At that moment, Liam was so heartbroken he almost passed out. If he had known that most of the money was returned to the construction company, there wouldn’t be a reason to panic at all. Because of his actions, the construction company completely belonged to Matthew and it was impossible for them to take it back.
To top it off, the current matter didn’t cause Matthew to go to jail. This was what upsetted Liam the most.
Meanwhile, Eric was also panicking. At first, he thought it would be impossible for Matthew to collect 300 million in a day so he bravely asked him to pay off his debts. However, it seemed that it was easy for Matthew to gather 300 million. If he can pay off his loan, I’m doomed! How am I supposed to bear the burden of paying the 30 million penalty?
After a moment of silence, Eric sneakily took a few steps back, hoping to leave when nobody was watching. However, Jefford soon noticed his intention and stopped him. “Eric, don’t be in a hurry to
leave. Didn’t you ask Mr. Larson to pay off his debts? Come on, the money is going to be here soon. As for the penalty, how are you planning to pay for it?” Jefford questioned with a grin.
Eric immediately turned pale and was no longer as aggressive as before. Then, he embarrassedly stuttered, “I-I suddenly think that it’s okay if you don’t pay off your debts now. W-Why don’t you pay it off right before the deadline?”
Hearing this, Jefford chuckled coldly. “Why would you say that? You’ve caused a huge commotion and even called the police. However, right now you’re telling him that he doesn’t need to pay off his debts. Who are you trying to fool? Truth is, I’ve recorded everything that you’ve said just now and this time, it’s impossible for you to go back on your word!”
Eric was about to break out in tears. He initially came to the company to grasp Sasha’s and Matthew’s weaknesses so that he could teach them a lesson. Who would have thought that he would actually bring harm upon himself?
Looking at Matthew, he whispered, “Matthew, you don’t need to pay me back the money now. I’m sure that the construction company needs the money—”
However, Matthew interrupted him, “The construction company doesn’t need money for the time being. Since you asked me to pay back my debt, I’ll definitely pay you back so you’d better prepare to pay the penalty!”
After hearing this, Eric felt as if he was about to burst into tears. Where am I going to find the money to pay the penalty?
“I-I don’t have that much cash on me… Why don’t you not pay it back first?” Eric pleaded. However, from the way the others were looking at him, it was obvious that nobody pitied him.
You were the one who aggressively forced Matthew to pay back the loan and you were completely merciless. Who will sympathize with you right now?
Matthew glanced at Eric before he softly said, “Old Master Cunningham, I have a solution that can help you avoid paying the penalty, but I’m not sure whether you’re willing to do it.”
When Eric heard this, he was overjoyed as he blurted, “What’s the solution? Tell me; I’ll do anything you ask!”
“Sell all of the Cunningham Group Wellness Herbary shares that you have,” Matthew murmured. “From now on, you’ll have nothing to do with Cunningham Group Wellness Herbary at all. If you agree to do so, I can pretend that all of this never happened!”
