Chapter 586

With that thought in mind, Helen immediately nodded. “Sure! Since you’ve made these requests, let’s write a letter of guarantee. Let me write it so that each of you will only have to sign your name on it.”

Then, she returned to her bedroom and spent some time writing a letter of guarantee before leaving the room with it.

She stated clearly in the letter that they would no longer have anything to do with the construction company. Therefore, they wouldn’t say another word no matter if the company made or lost money.

Of course, Helen added another clause to the letter, whereby Matthew must take over all of the construction company’s shares. This way, once he signed the letter, he would have to take over the construction company’s shares even if he didn’t want to.

After reading the letter, Matthew signed his name on it.

James, Helen, Demi, and Liam also signed their names on it.

Demi and Liam looked delighted upon seeing that the letter was signed. The problem was considered solved, and they had finally succeeded in fooling Matthew.

Of course, they weren’t explicit about this, though they couldn’t help laughing to themselves.

Having returned to her room after dinner, Sasha immediately suggested, “Matthew, I can’t help feeling that there’s something wrong with the construction company’s development project. Would you like me to have someone investigate it?”

Matthew waved his hand. “There’s no need for that.”

Sasha glanced at him in surprise. “Why? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be made a scapegoat for some sort of mess that the construction company has gotten into? It’s not that you don’t know what kind of people Dad, Mom, Demi, and Liam are. If there really was a good thing, they wouldn’t have given it up to you. How could they possibly give you all the company’s shares unless they’ve gotten into big trouble and had to find someone to take the blame?”

Matthew chuckled. “It’s okay. I’m clear about what’s going on with the construction company. As it happens, I’m planning to expand the construction company and treat it as part of my career later.”

Sasha was still a little worried. “Matthew, a-are you really confident of that? Why don’t we find out what’s the situation first?”

Matthew waved his hand. “There’s no need for that. I know what I’m doing.”

James and Helen knocked on Matthew and Sasha’s door early in the next morning.

“Matthew, let’s go to the office right and get the procedures done,” urged Helen hurriedly. She was worried that there would be trouble if Matthew changed his mind after finding out what had happened to the construction company.

Matthew tidied himself up before going downstairs with the two of them.

Liam and Demi had been waiting downstairs; they even considerately bought Matthew breakfast.

“Eat this while you’re on the way, Matthew. Let’s have a feast when the matter is done!” said Demi with a smile while winking at Liam.

Liam laughed to himself. We should have a feast indeed, for one would have a good last meal before being guillotined in ancient times. Matthew will be going to prison after having this meal. Hmph! By that time, the Cunningham Family’s assets will be mine!

Matthew looked calm, as if he was totally unaware of these people’s sinister motives.

After they reached the place, Liam even asked an acquaintance to expedite the transfer of these shares.

The procedure went without a hitch this time. It took less than a day before everything was done, and all the company’s shares were transferred to Matthew’s name.

After everything was finally settled, even James and Helen broke into smiles. Now that everything was done, they would no longer have to worry about this time’s failed investment.

The few of them went home and entered the door to see Sasha sitting in the room with a livid face.

Sasha asked anxiously, “Matthew, why didn’t you answer the phone when I called you?”

Matthew answered, “My cell phone ran out of battery. What’s wrong?”

Glancing at the other four people, Sasha clenched her teeth and responded, “Have the shares been transferred to your name? If the procedure isn’t completed yet, pause it and stop transferring the shares right away!”

Surprised, Matthew asked, “What happened?”

Sasha explained anxiously, “Do you know that they invested the 300 million they had previously borrowed in a suspended development project? Whoever takes over the construction company right now will have to be liable for the debt of 300 million!”
