President Sandel Is Close With Matthew

Matthew smiled. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to hide the fact that he was at The Court Parlour from Leanna.

Despite that, he didn’t expect that Leanna would come again tonight.

“Sasha, what do you think?” he asked.

Sasha got up immediately. “I didn’t want to continue eating here anyway. Let’s go upstairs. We’ll dine like kings today today!”

Chuckling, Matthew nodded, then followed Sasha and left.

As everyone watched their retreating backs, they were stunned speechless.

After a long while, they finally recovered themselves and began to whisper, discussing the situation.

Someone even asked, “Lincoln, aren’t you close with President Sandel? Why didn’t she invite you up? I’m guessing she doesn’t know you’re here. Lincoln, why don’t you give President Sandel a call?”

“Yeah, Lincoln, why don’t you invite President Sandel over instead? She’s the most beautiful and strong woman in Eastcliff, and it’ll also be an eye-opener for us…”

The crowd roared with laughter, because they were clearly ridiculing Lincoln with these remarks.

Lincoln’s face flushed, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

Just now, he said that he contacted Leanna in private, but he was just bragging.

In fact, he had only met her twice.

The follow-up matters were handled by her secretary; he wasn’t even qualified to meet her.

Now that everyone was asking him to call her, he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t even have Leanna’s number!

At this moment, a girl suddenly piped up, “What do you think is Matthew and Sasha’s relationship with Leanna? Why would she invite them to a private dinner?”

“Who knows the reason?”

“It seems like those two people aren’t that simple after all!”

“I guess Sasha and Leanna know each other. The Cunningham Family seems quite rich right now!”

“That should be the case. Leanna couldn’t possibly invite a man to dinner alone either.”

“Matthew is so lucky. He’s benefitting from his wife, and he even got to meet Leanna…”

Everyone was engaged in heated discussions, and they all thought that Leanna and Sasha knew each other, while Matthew was simply invited along.

At this moment, Aiden suddenly walked past the door.

Vincent’s eyes lit up, and he quickly ran out to pull Aiden in. “Shaw, my friend, why are you in such a rush? Let’s talk for a while; just a short while!”

Aiden frowned slightly. “Vincent, I’m still busy with work right now! If you have something to say, make it quick!”

Vincent said, “President Sandel isn’t here yet, right? So what are you even busy with?”

Aiden shot him a glare. “You have no idea! President Sandel has already instructed me to attend to Mr. Larson! I have to do that personally!”

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Feeling anxious, Lincoln asked, “President Sandel asked you to entertain Mr. Larson? N-Not Sasha?”

Aiden glanced at him. “Does it make any difference?”

Lincoln replied, “Isn’t President Sandel close with Sasha? W-Why would she ask you to properly entertain Matthew?”

Aiden rolled his eyes. “Don’t you know? Everyone in The Court Parlour knows that Leanna is close with Mr. Adams. She met President Cunningman through Mr. Adams.”

When they heard this, everyone was shocked.

They originally thought that Matthew was taking advantage of Sasha’s success, and that was why he got invited up too.

Only now did they know that, in fact, Sasha was the one benefiting off of Matthew’s fame.

But what’s actually going on? Leanna doesn’t treat any man well, so why is she being so kind to Matthew? She even asked him to go upstairs for dinner and had sent people to attend to him in person. Even her business partners don’t get to enjoy this kind of treatment.

The crowd was dumbfounded. They simply couldn’t understand how that man could have such great charm!

If You Value Your Life, Go Kneel Outside!

Sitting paralyzed in the chair, Lincoln said discontentedly, “Matthew must’ve had business dealings with President Sandel before…”

Aiden waved his hand. “No! Mr. Larson’s industry has nothing to do with the Creative Cloud Group at all. I’ll tell you the truth: Mr. Larson is a friend of President Sandel—a very good friend.”

Vincent’s eyes widened. “No way! President Sandel has a male friend?”

Everyone in Eastcliff knew that Leanna was a cold beauty who didn’t get involved with men at all!

Aiden shrugged. “I don’t know about that. Okay, that’s enough. President Sandel told me to get two bottles of Romanee Conti, so don’t delay me any longer!”

With that, Aiden ran off. Everyone in the room then looked at each other and fell into a dead silence.

Before this, they were still skeptical and thought that Matthew was just taking advantage of the Cunningham Family’s fame.

Now, they finally knew that Matthew wasn’t as simple as he seemed!

Amidst the silence, Vincent’s phone suddenly rang.

When he answered the phone, an anxious voice sounded. “Vincent, something happened. W-We were beaten up…”

Vincent’s eyes widened, and he snapped, “What’s going on? Who the hell is so bold as to beat up my men? I—”

Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice came from the other end of the line. “I did that! What’s wrong? Are you upset?”

For a moment, Vincent froze, as he found the voice to be very familiar.

“W-Who are you?”

The person sneered, “South Street’s Master Tiger!”

Vincent shuddered. He dropped his phone onto the table, and he almost peed himself.

After a long while, he hurriedly picked up his phone again. “M-Master Tiger, w-why are you there? Oh, what did my men do to offend you? You can just teach them a lesson as you like. Master Tiger, if there’s anything I’ve done wrong, accept this as my apology. Tomorrow, I-I’ll go to your office to apologize. I know you’re very magnanimous, so please don’t be angry…”

The crowd was astonished. Who’s Vincent so frightened of? Wasn’t he showing off his power just now?

Tiger answered coldly, “You don’t need to apologize in person! And your men didn’t offend me either!”

Vincent was still shocked. “W-What did I do to offend you, then? Master Tiger, I… I really don’t know. If you enlighten me, I’ll know what I did wrong…”

Tiger exclaimed, “You’re quite clever! Since you’ve said all that, then I’ll enlighten you a little. Mr. Matthew Adams, the one who’s having dinner with you tonight, is my current boss. I’m working for him now, and even my brother has a business relationship with him! Vincent, you have quite the guts. I heard that you wanted to kill Mr. Larson. Is that true?”

As if he had been struck by lightning, Vincent’s entire body froze, and he couldn’t speak for a long time as he held the phone.

He never would’ve imagined that Tiger was actually working for Matthew, and even Stanley was working with him. Just how powerful is Matthew?

He thought back to earlier and remembered that he had just yelled and said that he wanted to kill Matthew, which caused a chill to run down his back.

With Matthew’s strength, just one sentence was sufficient to make him die a horrible death!

It made him wonder what kind of a big shot he had been arguing with just now.

After a long silence, Vincent suddenly tightened his grip on his phone and said in a trembling voice, “M-Master Tiger, I… I know I’m wrong… I really didn’t know that he was your boss. Master Tiger, p-please give me a chance… After this, I’ll repay your kindness.”

Tiger sneered, “If you value your life, go kneel at the entrance of The Court Parlour!”

 

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 963

Get Out of the Way!

In the private room upstairs, Leanna hurried over not long after Matthew and Sasha sat down.

“I’m actually convinced that you two did it on purpose. I’ve asked you to call me when you come over to eat in the future! I almost went home to eat by myself just now!” Leanna said angrily.

Both Matthew and Sasha looked at each other and smiled.

“I had my class reunion tonight, so I didn’t call you. Hey, Miss. Leanna, please don’t be angry. I promise we will come by and accompany you to dinner tomorrow if you want us to!” Sasha laughed.

Leanna waved her hand. “Forget it. You two are so busy all the time that I couldn’t even see your face. At that rate, I’d probably starve to death if I were to wait for you to have a meal with me. Alright, let’s stop with the nonsense. Hurry up and serve the food!”

Aiden hurriedly arranged for the waiter to serve the food, while his face was full of surprise. Leanna was like an ice queen in front of others, and she would barely say a few words to others. However, in front of Matthew and Sasha, ​​not only did she act like a little girl, she even spoke so casually. Is their relationship really that close?

Aiden felt extremely envious. After all, even the elders of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff couldn’t get Leanna to say more than a few words. Matthew must have been someone she had absolute trust in for her to reveal her true self in front of him. Though she was now a famous strong woman in Eastcliff, in fact, she was still a little girl under her frozen and icy exterior.

During the meal, Leanna spoke more than Matthew and Sasha combined. After eating, she boldly told Sasha and Matthew to stay and suggested they hit the karaoke. She hadn’t let her hair down like this in a long time. Therefore, the waiters downstairs who saw and heard that were shocked to the bones.

Leanna, holding Sasha with her left hand and Matthew with her right, walked out of The Court Parlour with a leisurely pace.

At the same time, in the courtyard outside The Court Parlour, there was a group of people. Among the group, there was a fat man kneeling on the ground—it was Vincent.

Vincent was flustered and looked extremely embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to get up.

Tiger had asked him to come out here and kneel—only if Matthew spared him could he think of surviving. If he didn’t, not only would all of his family property be ruined, but even his life could be ruined.

All around, Sasha’s classmates were all shocked to see this scene—they really couldn’t understand why Vincent would come out and kneel here right after he answered a call.

Right then, Leanna was walking out with Sasha and Matthew. When everyone saw Leanna, their faces were full of surprise. They didn’t need any introduction at all; they could immediately guess that this woman must be Leanna!

After all, there were very few people who could be on the same level as Sasha, ​​the top beauty in all of Eastcliff. This scene made them even more confused. Leanna is actually grabbing Matthew by his arm? What is the relationship between the two of them? Although Leanna seems to have drunk a lot, could she really be drunk to this extent?

As soon as Lincoln saw Leanna, he couldn’t help but feel excited, and he immediately went over to greet her. “Hello, President Sandel—”

Before he could finish speaking, Leanna waved her hand impatiently. “Tsk! Get out of the way! We’re going to karaoke, and you are getting in the way!”

Lincoln was stunned. After all, he had met Leanna twice, and they even discussed a collaboration. Does she really have no regard for me?

Everyone around him was laughing at him sarcastically, especially his classmates, who looked at him even more mockingly now. They remembered he also mentioned before that he had a good relationship with Leanna, but now, it was as if he had gotten a big slap in the face! However, he didn’t dare to say anything in the end.

They attached great importance to working with Leanna, but Leanna, on the other hand, was not as willing to work with them. So now, they were begging Leanna, not the other way round.

 

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 964

Matthew, Please Forgive Me

Right then, Vincent also saw Matthew.

As if he was looking at his only way out of this, he said loudly, “Mr. Larson, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong! I’ll kowtow to you right now. I know you are the bigger man here, so please spare me just this once…”

Everyone at the scene was stunned again. Is Vincent kneeling to Matthew?

Even Leanna was stunned for a moment before she turned her head and glanced at Matthew. “Who is this person? Why is he kneeling in front of my shop? Wouldn’t it affect my business? Quickly get rid of him! Otherwise, I won’t treat you to dinner in the future!”

Matthew was simply speechless. Leanna did in fact drink a lot tonight, and it showed in her speech, which had become slightly incoherent.

However, everyone else on the scene was full of shock.

In front of Matthew, Leanna actually spoke like a child. This kind of scene would have otherwise been impossible for other people to witness.

Of course, Sasha’s classmates were more surprised.

No one would have thought that Vincent, who was boasting about his influence just now, came to kneel in front of Matthew!

What the hell is going on here?

Isn’t Matthew merely a son-in-law who had married into the family? Why would Vincent be afraid of him?

Paris was the first to be upset. “Honey, you are actually kneeling down in front of him? Why? Why are you kneeling for him? He is merely an useless son-in-law, so why are you afraid of him? Didn’t Miss Cunningham say it just now? He doesn’t even have the right to manage her family’s affairs…”

Extremely annoyed, Vincent slapped Paris’ face with a backhand. “Shut up, for the love of God! If you want to die, it’s your business. Don’t f*cking take me with you!”

After saying that, he looked at Matthew again and said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Larson, I-I will divorce this b*tch later when I get back. Please spare me once…”

Matthew glanced at him. “Spare you? Sure.”

Vincent knocked his forehead on the floor again and again, as if he had been pardoned from an execution. “Thank you, Mr. Larson! Thank you, Mr. Larson!”

Matthew continued, “However, you have to explain the transaction between you and Liam Hayes thoroughly and honestly! Also, return all the money you took from the company at once.”

Vincent nodded quickly. “Yes, yes, of course! I… I will explain it clearly—I will also make sure to return all the money.

Hearing that, Matthew nodded in satisfaction and waved. “Get lost now!”

Vincent was overjoyed. “Thank you, Mr. Larson. Really! Thank you!”

Vincent kowtowed to Matthew again before getting up and staggering away.

Soon, Matthew also left with Sasha and Leanna—only Sasha’s classmates remained, and neither one of them had any better idea as to what had just happened.

Cecilia and the others, on the other hand, were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn’t dare to say a word and slipped away quietly.

Paris only sat at the side, paralyzed on the ground. Although she was covering her face and crying, Vincent didn’t even bat an eye at her.

Vincent knew very well that he had escaped death this time, and it was a gift in itself to be able to survive.

As for Paris, she was merely a materialistic girl. He wanted nothing to do with her, and he was only ever with her for her looks.

What happened was related to his own life and death; he didn’t have the extra time to care for this woman!

After walking out of The Court Parlour, Vincent called Tiger immediately. “Master Tiger! I… I saw Mr. Larson just now… and… he has forgiven me. Master Tiger, c-can you give me another chance…”

Hearing what Vincent said, Tiger replied, “Since Mr. Larson has forgiven you, then I’ll spare your life. Vincent, young man, you’ve made a timely call. If it were any later, your family would have been gone.”

Vincent was drenched in cold sweat just from hearing that—this was the domineering power of South Street’s Master Tiger.

If he put his mind to making a person disappear, this person would never live to see another day!

The reason why Vincent kneeled outside begging for mercy regardless of his dignity was because he knew exactly what Tiger was capable of!

If he wanted to live, he needed to beg for mercy—he could only make a choice between his dignity or his life.

Liam Did It For Our Family

Matthew and Sasha had fun with Leanna until after 10.00PM before rushing home.

When she saw her best friend getting better day by day, Leanna’s mood got much better.

In her own words, this was the first time she’d had such a good time in so many years.

As soon as Sasha and Matthew got home, they found that James and Helen were sitting in the living room.

“Dad, Mom, why haven’t you guys slept yet?” Sasha asked in surprise.

She was surprised because during weekdays, James and Helen would typically go to bed early.

James and Helen looked at each other. In the next second, Helen frowned slightly and said, “Sasha, ​​come here. I have something to ask you.”

Sasha was surprised, but she still walked up to Helen. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Helen uttered, “Sasha, ​​let me ask you: Do you think that your father and I are old now and getting in the way if we stayed at home?”

Sasha frowned as she could tell that Helen was looking for trouble.

There was no doubt that Demi and Liam came back and said something to them.

“Mom, what are you talking about? Did Demi say something to you again? I was about to ask you if you know what Liam did in the construction company,” Sasha said angrily.

Helen waved her hand. “I know. Liam took some money from the company and embezzled a lot of the renovation fees from the construction company, right?”

Hearing her mother’s unfazed response, Sasha was stunned. “Y-You knew? Mom, since you knew, then what are you doing? You asked Liam to take charge of the construction company, but he got greedy and embezzled so much money from the construction company. Are you just going to let him be?”

Helen sighed. “Sasha, ​​I know you have always had a problem with Liam and Demi because they don’t like Matthew! But Sasha, ​​we must act with conscience! Liam has done so much. Who do you think he did this for, even at the cost of infamy?”

Sasha was stunned. What is she talking about? Liam embezzled so much money from the construction company. If it weren’t for himself, who could it be for?

“Mom, what are you trying to say?” Sasha said angrily.

At this time, James came over and said, “Sasha, ​​let me tell you this—what Liam did, in fact, was an order from me and your mother.”

Sasha’s eyes widened. “What? Dad, a-are you crazy? You asked Liam to embezzle the assets of our construction company? Why would you do that?”

James said coldly, “What are you talking about? Sasha, ​​we only did this for this family!”

Sasha rebuked, “Dad, I don’t understand what you said! You’re saying that Liam embezzled the assets of the construction company for this family? How does that make sense? You’re trying to say that he did it for our family and was even thinking for our family?”

James glared at Sasha. “Sasha, ​​that’s why I keep saying that you are not suitable to be the person in power. You are not suitable to be in charge of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals because you don’t understand the intricacies of this business!”

Sasha was absolutely confused, and she really couldn’t understand a word of what her father had just said.

“Mom, dad, what does Liam’s embezzling company assets have to do with business intricacies?”

Matthew couldn’t help but ask as well—he felt that what James said was completely unreasonable.

James said coldly, “Matthew, let me ask you—how much shares do you own in the construction company?”

Matthew answered, “Almost 60%!”

James clapped his hands. “Yes, it’s 60%! In other words, 40% of the shares are still in the hands of the others. Then, do you know how much this villa project can roughly make?”

Matthew continued to answer, “According to our statistics, if we do it well, we are set to earn about 10 billion from the project.”

 

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 966

No Bottom Line

James clapped his hands immediately after hearing his response. “Okay. Let’s say it’s 10 billion—from this 10 billion, after deducting some other expenses, there will be almost 9 billion left. You have 60% of the shares, so your final dividend will be more than 5 billion. That is to say, there are almost 4 billion left to be distributed to other shareholders. Am I right?”

Matthew nodded. This would be the ideal case, but in reality, things wouldn’t always go according to plan.

James continued, “Well, let’s say you get 5 billion and the shareholders share 4 billion; after this project is completed, we will eventually be able to get 5 billion, or even less than 5 billion. However, Matthew, did you know that if Liam is the general manager, he will be able to get back almost 1.5 billion to 2 billion worth of rebate from this basic renovation alone! Do take note that we don’t need to share this money with the other shareholders.”

Matthew frowned. Finally, he vaguely understood what James meant.

James became more and more worked up and said loudly, “That is nearly 2 billion in our pockets! And this is not the end of it. The basic renovation costs a lot, and we would have to scrap the subsequent earnings as an expense for basic renovation. In other words, the dividends that can be distributed in the end would be about 7 billion. From the 7 billion, you can get 4 billion, while the other shareholders get 3 billion. Just from this calculation, our family can make 6 billion! Matthew, do you understand what this means? We only have to let Liam manage as the general manager, and our family can earn an extra 1 billion! Do you understand how big of a deal this is?”

Sasha finally understood, and her eyes widened from shock. “Dad…h-how can you do such a thing? You are obviously deceiving the other shareholders! Those people trust us, and that’s why they decided to work with us in the first place. If you do this to them, how are you gonna face them in the future?”

James waved his hand. “And this is why I say that you are not suitable to be the chairman! Sasha, this is business—you have to be calculative in order to get the maximum returns. Are those people only cooperating with us because of trust? They came to cooperate with us for the sake of profit! If there is no profit, I’m sure they would run away, one faster than the other! Let me tell you—in the face of real interests, all trust is fake, and making money is the only truth; and that is the real purpose of the business! I asked Liam to do this to maximize the interests of our family. Do you understand?”

Sasha was stunned. Well, according to what Dad just said, did Liam just become the hero of the story? How does that work? He embezzled so much money from the company just to make more money for the family, and now, he is the hero? What?

“Dad, this is wrong! We can’t explain to the shareholders the unreasonable cost of the renovation. Besides, he’s cutting too many corners. Those who bought the villas will hold us accountable if they found out. By then, it won’t be easy for us to handle!” Matthew rebuked.

James waved his hand. “How can you not deceive people in business? That’s why I have you to handle the shareholders. Don’t they trust you completely? As for those who bought the houses, just coax them first by all means. Our goal is to get the sale! As for the follow-up situation, since the villas have been sold, they have nothing to do with us anymore! There are so many people in Eastcliff who have defended their rights after buying a house, but how many of them succeeded? In the end, they all had to accept their fate! Matthew, let me tell you again: Making money is the most important thing in doing business. Okay?”

Matthew frowned while thinking that James’ values were too distorted.

He had no bottom line when it came to profit!

 

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 967

I’ll Make Him Resign

“Dad, how could you do business like this? Who will ever trust you again in the future?” Sasha asked. “This is detrimental to your reputation and demonstrates a lack of integrity!”

With that, James explained earnestly, “It’s one billion, Sasha! I won’t ever have to work another day in my life if I could make a billion. Do I still need anyone’s trust then?” Then, he continued, “Besides, I won’t have to trade in Eastcliff anymore after getting a billion dollars. I could trade elsewhere, where no one knows who I am, so who would know what I’ve done? You can only expand your business if you have enough capital. Doing real estate business means going around cheating money from stupid people.”

Furious, she exploded, “I strongly disagree with your reasoning, and I’ll never allow something like this to happen in our family!”

After that, she turned toward Matthew and said, “Fire Liam tomorrow. Make him pay back all the money that he stole from the company!”

Hearing that, Matthew nodded. We’re on the same page!

Just then, Helen banged her fist on the table and stood up all of a sudden. “Don’t you dare, Matthew! If you fire him, I’ll… I’ll jump off the building tomorrow! I’ll kill myself if you stop us from getting rich! Sasha, fire Liam if you want me to die.”

“Mom… how could you be so unreasonable? It’s not right to act this way…” Sasha’s head pounded in exasperation.

Waving her hand, Helen replied, “I’m sick of listening to you preach at me. Let me tell you this: We’ve been too kind, and that’s why we were taken advantage of by your grandpa. From that, I finally understand that you’ll be bullied if you’re too kind. I’ll never let anyone take advantage of me anymore. I’d rather die than get bullied.”

At that moment, Sasha was trembling with anger. She was tired of her mother using the same thing to threaten her every time.

As for James, he stared at Matthew coldly. “You did really well with the Campbells previously. To be honest, your performance has been outstanding during this period. I’m fortunate to have you as my son-in-law. And I’ve been thinking, our lives will be better once we get rich after settling the construction company’s matters. You and Sasha will have a baby, and we’ll take care of it. We’ll be a harmonious family. But let me say this: If you insist on going your way and going against us regarding the construction company’s matters, you’ll no longer be part of our family from now onward! By then, don’t even dream of seeing Sasha again!” After saying that, James threw his cup on the table and walked away in a huff.

It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham are adamant about earning that sum of money unscrupulously.

As soon as Matthew and Sasha went back to their room, she cried, “How could Mom and Dad do this? T-This is fraud. I can’t just sit here and do nothing.”

Patting her head, he comforted her, “I don’t think we should force it. It’d be easy to persuade him regarding other matters, but one billion is involved this time, so they’ll never listen to us. I’m afraid something might happen if you play hardball and go against them. They’re even willing to commit suicide for that money.”

“Then… what should we do?” she asked anxiously.

After pondering upon the issue for a moment, he told her softly, “Just let it be for now. I’m almost done on my side, so I’ll probably settle this issue within the next two days.”

Surprised, she questioned, “You’ll settle it? How are you going to deal with Liam?”

He shook his head. “I won’t fire him; I’ll make him resign!”

 

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 968

We Can’t Let Matthew Feather His Nest

Meanwhile, Demi and Liam were waiting in James and Helen’s room downstairs.

As soon as James and Helen entered, Demi and Liam gave them a thumbs up.

“Mom, Dad, well said. Matthew and Sasha couldn’t refute at all! You guys were so cool!” Demi chuckled.

With a pout, Helen replied, “Of course they couldn’t. We were speaking facts. We’re doing everything for the sake of our family. What’s wrong with that?”

Sitting on the couch, James examined the card that Liam had just given him that night. “Liam, is there really a billion dollars in here?”

After Vincent’s matter had been exposed, Demi and Liam went home immediately as they knew that Matthew and Sasha would look into it.

Hence, knowing that James was money-obsessed, Liam endured the pain and handed James the card with one billion inside to buy him off and get him on his side.

Besides, Liam came up with an excuse, saying that his greed for money was all for the Cunninghams. James and Helen had also made many acquisitions with the construction company’s funds recently. Thus, both of them agreed with Liam almost immediately and promised to deal with Matthew and Sasha.

Liam approached James and laughed quietly. “You could give the bank a call if you don’t believe me. With this, you can bring Mom out to buy and do anything you want. Besides, this is only the first sum of money. There’ll be more when the construction company receives more funds. This is our earnings, Dad. ”

Overjoyed, James nodded. “You’re the best at handling matters such as this, Liam. A man should constantly think of his family and make more money for their sake.”

Just then, Demi seized the opportunity to speak. “I can’t agree more! Matthew’s always fooling around; I don’t think he cares about his family at all! He’s the director of the company now. Who knows how much money he’ll take from the company and run away with that vixen! We’ll lose everything then! So, you’d better bring all the money back to stop him from doing so, Liam.”

Helen nodded furiously in agreement. “That’s right! You have to be careful with the money. I can rest assured since you’re the managing director at the construction company. You’d better keep an eye on everything and don’t let Matthew feather his nest!”

Pleased, Liam nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll see to it that he can’t take a single penny from the company!”

Hearing this, she smiled satisfactorily. As for James, he was still carefully examining the card.

“Liam, can you transfer the money in this card to my account tomorrow?” James asked all of a sudden, feeling that he could only rest assured when the money was secured in his own pocket.

Immediately, Liam replied, “Sure thing. We’ll go to the bank together tomorrow, and I’ll transfer the money to your account.”

At once, James chuckled. “Hahaha… Sounds good! Work hard, Liam. Don’t worry. No one will be able to kick you out of the company. Let me know if Matthew wants to audit the accounts. I’ll kick him out of the Cunningham family! Hmph! It’s not up to them to call the shots as long as I’m alive!”

At that moment, Liam was filled with delight. “Dad, I’ll take your word and go for it confidently! The Cunninghams will win big this time. Don’t worry.”

 

The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 969

The Board of Directors Audits the Accounts

The next day, Liam brought James and Helen to the bank and transferred the one billion into James’ account.

At that time, James was so excited to see the large sum of money in his bank account that he became incoherent. It was only a few months ago that he was still a poor man that lived in a shabby old house. Now, he lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, wore watches worth millions of dollars, and had more than one billion in his bank account. It was like a dream.

“Work hard, Liam. I’m counting on you! When this project’s over, I’m going to get us a new deal to make more money!” James bubbled excitedly.

In response, Liam nodded. “Don’t worry, Dad. By the way, do you need me to take you to the pharmacy?”

James waved his hand. “It’s alright. Let’s just go to the construction site. Nothing’s been happening at the pharmacy recently anyway. Your mom and I would like to take a look at the construction site. After all, it’s our family business.”

At that moment, a hopeful expression was pasted on Helen’s face, indicating that she wanted to check out the construction site too.

Seeing so, Liam brought them to the construction site at once.

As soon as they reached the construction site, they realized that the place was in chaos, and a group of people was arguing inside.

“What’s going on?” James furrowed his brows.

Liam drove toward that direction and snapped, “What are you guys doing?”

Immediately, the crowd dispersed. Then, a man ran over hurriedly. “Mr. Wayne, we’ve got trouble! It’s the people from the board of directors. They want to audit our accounts!”

In response, Liam’s face darkened instantaneously, whereas James widened his eyes in disbelief. Did Matthew really ask the board of directors to check the accounts?

“Go take a look at what’s going on,” James instructed in a deep voice. At the same time, he looked at Helen and signaled her to call Matthew.

After that, Matthew and James headed to the scene and saw Jefford and a few other people. They were shareholders of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals who joined the Six Southern States Medical Conference with Matthew and made a lot of money. All of them invested in and owned shares in the current villa project.

“What are you doing, Jefford?” James fumed.

A few of them ran over after seeing James. “You came at the right time, James! Quickly ask your son-in-law to bring us the accounts. We’re auditing them.”

This filled Jason with anxiety as they were the company’s shareholders, and there was no way for him to deal with them.

Just then, Helen came out and waved at him, telling him that Matthew did not know about this.

Confidently, he scolded, “Stop fooling around! How can you just simply say that you’d like to check the company’s accounts? You need the board of directors’ permission; it can’t be accomplished just because you have a few people making noise here! Have you gotten the board’s approval?”

Matthew’s the company’s director, so if they want the board of directors’ approval, they would need his as well. However, since he doesn’t know about this, it means that they do not have the board’s permission. Hence, I could just ignore their request to audit the accounts.

“What do you mean by getting the board of directors’ approval?” Jefford exploded. “Stop talking nonsense! These villas’ renovation has only been going on for a few days, and yet it has already cost around 8 billion! If this were to go on, the cost could go up to 30 billion when the renovations’ done! How could the renovation cost be several times higher than the cost of the villas? There’s obviously something wrong with the accounts. Don’t you think so?”

Upon hearing this, James replied, “These are only your assumptions, and they can’t prove anything. Besides, our villas are advertised as being located in a high-end residential area, and the renovation is costly, so it’s normal. It would do us no good if we lower our costs. Who would think of it as a high-end residential area if word gets out? You’re only causing harm to the company’s reputation by making a fool of yourself here. Are you going to take responsibility if this property doesn’t sell?”

We’re Divesting

With a disdainful look, Jefford fumed, “Don’t try to pin this on me, James! I really don’t understand what kind of renovation would cost so much! Anyway, I’ve said enough. I’m going to check the accounts no matter what. Otherwise, I won’t leave.”

Hearing this, James sneered, “How could you be so shameless! Hmph, I’m only being courteous because we’re old friends. But this doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! Now, you guys should get lost immediately. Or else, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“What? Are you threatening me? Do you seriously think that I’d be afraid of you? What can you do to me?” Jefford roared.

Angry, James shouted back, “Go! Get Tiger here to kick them out!”

The people who were watching were at a loss of what to do. Then, one of them whispered, “President Cunningham, Master Tiger has already resigned…”

James froze. “What? What the hell? Why did he resign?”

In response, the person shook his head. “I don’t know. He resigned with Mr. Davis. I heard they didn’t want to work here anymore and wanted to start a new business.”

This puzzled James. Why so sudden?

Seeing this, Jefford snickered. “What’s the matter? Tiger can’t come? Listen to me: You can either let me check the accounts today, or I’ll divest! It’s up to you.”

Upon hearing this, James laughed. This project could make him tens of billions, and he didn’t want to share it with anybody. Before, he had no choice but to look for investors because he had no money. However, they had already sold quite a few villas, and the company had funds. Hence, he was more than willing to see the investors divest right now.

“You’d better think this through! There’s no turning back once you withdraw your investment.” James chuckled.

Jefford hissed, “Stop talking nonsense! I’ll divest if you insist on not letting me audit the accounts! Now I know that no one should ever think of making money if they were to work with a b*stard like you! I don’t care how much this residential area would make. I’m not playing your games anymore!”

Cackling, James said, “Sure. I’ll do as you wish since you’d like to divest. Liam, go through the formalities with him and transfer his shares to me.”

“Sure. You can count on me! Mr. Jefford, are you sure you’d like to pull out? Why are you being so rash? Why would you give up now when we’re paying our shareholders their dividends soon?”

“Stop talking nonsense and get it done quickly!” Jefford curled his lips.

Right after, Liam got someone to handle the procedure of Jefford and the other shareholders’ divestment.

The capital that they invested was not much, so they didn’t get much money back from the divestment. It had no significant impact on the company at all.

However, other shareholders came to pull out from the investment not long after Jefford and the few that were with him left.

Even the Jacksons pulled out on the following day. All the shareholders were gone.

The company’s funds are enough to solve this matter. There’ll still be a lot left after that! With that, all the money from the villas will be the Cunninghams’! James couldn’t stop laughing at that thought.

“You did well, Liam! I can’t believe we tricked all the shareholders into leaving. Hahaha… This way, we’ll earn tens of billions of dollars from this villa residential area!” James exclaimed excitedly.

At the same time, Liam beamed ear to ear. With all the shareholders gone, he wouldn’t have to worry about the board of directors auditing the accounts anymore.

“No problem!” Liam replied happily.

Sitting on the recliner, James continued to laugh and started fantasizing about living a rich life.

Little did they know that a crisis was looming over them, waiting to happen.
