Chapter 573

Matthew answered, “The key to this problem isn’t Dad and Mom—it’s Liam and Demi.”

Sasha nodded at once. “You’re right. They’re the ones stirring up trouble; Dad and Mom wouldn’t have made so much of a nuisance if it hadn’t been for the both of them. Matthew, I think that we shouldn’t let them stay with us. Why don’t we find a way to make them go back to stay at their home?”

Matthew shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that this won’t be easy. Demi is your younger sister, so Dad and Mom tend to spoil her more. Moreover, now that your parents are so guarded against me, they’ll think of whatever you say as the result of my instigation; they certainly won’t listen to you.”

Sasha asked helplessly, “What should we do then? When they’re here, they do nothing all day but come for you whenever they get a chance. I really can’t stand it anymore!”

Matthew assured with a smile, “It’s alright, I can just ignore them. Furthermore, we won’t be staying here for a long time; we won’t have to worry about these things when we move out and live on our own in the future.”

Sasha gave Matthew a thankful look. Matthew had her interests and feelings in mind at all times, which moved her deeply.

She whispered, “The most important thing right now is the 300 million worth of investment. Matthew, are we really going to give them the money?”

Matthew nodded. “Since we’ve already agreed to do so, we should give them the money. Otherwise, things will become even more troublesome later on.”

Sasha objected desperately, “But… Won’t we be in trouble if our investment ends in failure this time?”

Matthew assured with a chuckle. “Don’t worry—I’ll keep an eye on the investment. Besides, we can’t let them take the 300 million away so easily.”

Surprised, Sasha asked, “What do you mean?”

Matthew chuckled before slowly explaining his plan to her.

The next morning, Matthew met several of the board members in person to discuss the matter with them.

Truth be told, those shareholders were reluctant to transfer the money to James, but they agreed to do so in the end after Matthew had met them personally and gave his word on the investment.

After that, he met with Julian and told the latter to transfer the money. With that, the matter was settled.

However, Sasha waited until three days later to tell James and Helen about this to give them the impression that this wasn’t an easy job.

Knowing that the investment had been approved, James and Helen were overjoyed; they immediately asked Sasha to transfer the money into their bank account.

Demi grabbed Liam’s arm in excitement. Now that they had the money, they could invest in real estate together with Young Master Lach. Real estate was a lucrative business, so they would probably have more assets than Sasha very soon!

Demi already had everything thought out. Once they had more assets than Sasha, she would find a way to acquire Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to put everything under her control. She wanted Sasha to know that she was much superior than the latter despite not having attended university!

Just then, Sasha said, “Dad, the investment has been approved, but there’s an issue that needs to be solved.”

James asked with a frown, “Why is there a problem now? It’s already been approved, right?”

Sasha explained, “The money is from Wellness Herbary, so Julian made a request.”

Demi immediately chimed in, “Well, this Julian is really cocky; he actually thinks that Wellness Herbary is his property. How could he make these demands when we, the Cunninghams, want some money from the company? What is going on? Did he or Matthew take over Wellness Herbary’s ownership?”

Helen scoffed, “Who does Julian think he is? What gives him the right to make such demands? He is but someone who works for the Cunninghams. In other words, he’s merely a lackey. Since the Board of Directors have agreed to transfer the money, he should obediently transfer the money to us—how dare he make demands?

Has he grown tired of working for us? Tell him to pack up his stuff and get lost right away if he doesn’t want to work for us anymore! The Cunningham Family’s pharmaceutical companies never had to worry about hiring talents.”
