Chapter 591

James’s eyes lit up in excitement as he said, “That’s a pretty good idea. It’s 300 million we’re talking about here; those shareholders will definitely make a huge fuss once they find out about it.

They’d probably send Matthew straight to jail when they find out, and we only have to keep an eye on Sasha to make sure that she doesn’t get herself involved in this. By the time Matthew’s in prison, it’d be too late for her to even try and sell her shares.”

“That’s precisely what I mean,” Liam uttered with a nod. “What do you think, Dad?”

As she clapped her hands enthusiastically, Demi grinned and exclaimed, “Dad, I think my husband’s idea is too amazing. We’d be able to finish off that Larson boy once and for all while also protecting our family’s funds—we’d be killing two birds with one stone!”

James nodded in satisfaction before he turned to ask Helen, “I think it’s a great plan. What about you, Helen?”

The woman who had been questioned hesitated for a moment before she said, “This… Isn’t this a little too immoral? Matthew has already agreed to take responsibility for all of this, yet we’re still doing this to him. This…”

Demi cut her off. “You’re getting confused, Mom. Matthew isn’t the decent man you think he is. He deluded Sasha in an attempt to steal all of our family’s inheritance; he’s nothing more than scum!

Someone like him deserves to go to jail. Why do you have to be so nice to him?”

In a quiet voice, Helen replied, “But he’s already promised to take responsibility for this…”

Demi scoffed. “That’s because he’s dumb. He can’t blame anyone else other than himself for being incompetent. He must’ve thought that this was a simple matter and assumed that we’d be thankful toward him after taking responsibility for the incident; it’d make it easier for him to steal all of our family inheritance after that. Well, his calculations were wrong. Regardless of how things turn out in the end, everything serves him right!”

James quickly nodded. “Demi’s right—we shouldn’t feel any pity for a man like Matthew. He took it all upon himself, so no one else is to be blamed for all the bad things that’ll happen to him. Alright, it’s all set. Liam, I want you to give those shareholders a call right now. Inform them all about this!”

Liam nodded his head excitedly as he pulled his phone out and immediately gave a call to one of the shareholders that he was the closest to. He informed this shareholder of the whole incident surrounding the construction company and even exaggerated a few parts of his story just to spice things up. Of course, he didn’t emphasize on the mistakes he’d made. Instead, he placed all of the blame on Matthew by saying that the latter hadn’t listened to their advice; he had simply invested all 300 million borrowed from Wellness Herbary into a single project, which resulted in the construction company’s terrible losses. This was, in fact, the mistake that Liam had made, but he placed all of the blame onto Matthew instead.

Liam had expected for the shareholder to lose his temper and immediately rush over to give Matthew a good scolding. However, once Liam finished his story, the shareholder began to curse at him instead.

“What is this, Liam? How dare you talk bad about someone else behind their back? This is our company’s matter; why does a piece of trash like you think that you have the right to comment on our matters?”

Liam was stunned. He had never expected himself to be the one receiving a scolding. “Mr. Monte, I-I’m doing it for your own good. You’re one of the shareholders of the company, so you own a part of the company’s funds. Matthew’s selfish and reckless acts resulted in the company’s loss of 300 million;

some of that money being yours. I don’t want to see you being cheated by him like this, so that’s why I called to let you know about this. H-Have you misunderstood my intentions?” Liam quickly explained himself.

The shareholder started cursing again. “I didn’t misunderstand sh*t! Do you think that I can’t see through your malicious intentions? You’re simply trying to talk bad about him! Look, regardless of whether Mr. Larson actually did what you said, so what if he did it and lost 300 million of the company’s funds in the process? I don’t care what Mr. Larson does with my money. That’s because I have put my complete trust in him—he’d never cause the company to suffer any losses!”

Liam replied angrily, “But it’s now a fact that the company has already lost the money!”

“Even if the company has lost money, I’m willing to pay up. How is this any of your business?” The shareholder growled.
