What Crystal said overwhelmed Matthew, but he did not take it seriously in the end. Regardless of Crystal’s attitude toward him, he did not have any feelings for her.
When he got home, James, Helen, Demi, and Liam were in the middle of an inaudible discussion. Without acknowledging or greeting them, he went straight into the kitchen to prepare their meals.
While he was busy, Helen came in. “Matt, how are things with the construction company?” Helen pretended to be indifferent and asked while her eyes were fixed on Matthew.
Matthew chuckled under his breath. They still won’t give up on the construction company! Casually, he replied, “Things are good.”
“Good?” Helen was baffled.
“Aren’t the Jacksons stepping in? They have a share in that 300 million that you returned. Didn’t they come and ask for it?”
“Oh, they did, but the company had no money in the account. So, I had a discussion with the Jackson Family and we agreed to treat that money as the Jackson Family’s investment in the previous villa project we’re co-developing.”
Helen’s eyes widened. “W-What? The Jackson Family agreed to work together with you? Wasn’t that project stopped?”
Matthew chuckled. “A huge project is now sold at such a low price, so of course they would be willing to work together. Even though it was stopped, they are still trying to come up with ways to restart the project. I reckon this project will be able to restart within a few days!”
Thunderstruck, Helen hurriedly left the kitchen. Meanwhile, the others were waiting anxiously outside. Seeing Helen, James impatiently asked, “Well? How did he deal with the Jackson Family? Don’t tell me
he asked Sasha for money to pay off the debt?”
As Helen sighed, she jealously told them what Matthew had just told her. After hearing what Helen said, they were all dumbfounded. Before this, they all assumed Matthew would not be able to handle the Jackson Family when they came to ask for money. By then, Matthew would be sent to prison because of it. However, no one could have guessed that the Jackson Family would work together with Matthew. What was going on here?
After pondering for a moment, Liam murmured, “If the Jackson Family steps in, this project could really be restarted. If it does, it will make a lot of money! That b*stard is lucky. How did he manage to convince the Jackson Family to cooperate with him?”
Anxiously, James asked, “How much do you think this project will make if it is restarted?”
In a low voice, Liam answered after pondering for a moment, “At least by threefold.”
James gaped. “That much money? Then why did you stop me in the first place? If I had the shares and discussed it with the Jackson Family, that money would have been ours! Why did you stop me?”
Instantly, Liam looked embarrassed. “I didn’t know. At that time, the Jackson Family was breaking in in full fury, and I was worried we would not be able to handle it. I didn’t know Matthew would be able to convince them to work with him.”
At once, James was frustrated. “This is all your fault. We lost the chance to make so much money because of you!”
Dissatisfied, Demi berated him, “Father, how could you say that? Liam only did that for your own good. Anyway, does it make any difference? The shares are in Matthew’s hands, which means you could just
demand it from him.”
James glared at her. “Easier said than done. After all we’ve done, do you still have the nerve to demand company shares from Matthew? Besides, this project is about to make a lot of money soon. Do you think he will give it to me?” novelbin
