Chapter 636

After the recent events, James realized that the Jackson Family, Jefford and the others trusted Matthew only. If James caused a scene again, the result would still be the same as before. These people would continue to withdraw their investments and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would be completely done for. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Matthew take charge of the construction company now. Thus, he stopped scheming this matter.

Unconvinced, Demi continued, “Dad, this is tens of billions we’re talking about. Why don’t we fight for it again? At the very least, we should let Liam be the general manager and take care of the money, right?”

Liam had secretly discussed this with Demi as he had always been unwilling to give up on the construction company. What he wanted was to work in the company and make a fortune.

James frowned and said solemnly, “Demi, have I not been clear enough? Let’s not get involved with the construction company. The Cunningham Family is already very fortunate to be able to keep our fortune this time but if you continue to make trouble, the Cunningham Family’s wealth will be gone. By then, how are we going to pay back our debts and continue living our lives?”

Demi huffed. “Dad, I didn’t ask you to let Liam be the chairman. I just asked you to make Liam the general manager. The chairman will still be Matthew and those people still cooperate with him.

What’s the problem, then? Even if they want to make trouble, they can’t find an excuse. Besides, so much money is involved in the company. Aren’t you worried that Matthew will embezzle all the funds?

This way, Liam can go in the company and keep a close eye on Matthew. Plus, he can make sure that Matthew doesn’t embezzle any money. This is killing two birds with one stone!”

James hesitated slightly. This proposal was not bad indeed. However, Helen murmured in a low voice, “Oh—I think we should stop getting involved in this. The recent events have left me horrified. James, let’s just concentrate on running our pharmacy. If something happens again, we probably won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Upon hearing that, Demi countered furiously, “Mom, how can you say that? This is the Cunningham Family’s property. If we don’t fight for it, are we really going to hand it over just like that? Dad, Matthew has long wanted to snatch away our family’s assets so don’t you want to keep an eye on him? Let’s give it another shot. At least we’ll get information about the company and know where our money is!”

James was silent for a long time before he slowly nodded. “You’re right. Even if we don’t get involved with the operations of the construction company, we have to keep an eye on the company accounts.

Right then; let’s go directly to the construction company!”

Liam was overjoyed and immediately turned around to go straight to the construction company.

Meanwhile, Matthew was having a meeting with several shareholders in the construction company.

Once he came to know that James and the rest had come over, Matthew frowned immediately. He knew that Demi would definitely come and cause trouble for him after she was released from jail. She must have come to the construction company at this time because she suddenly came up with a plan.

After Matthew received James and the others, James asked him to arrange for Liam to be the general manager of the company so that he would be in charge of the company’s finances. His statement implied that Matthew was not given a chance to refuse at all.

Upon hearing that, Matthew felt impatient as he knew clearly that James sent Liam over to monitor the company’s capital flow. If he refused, James would only think that he had ulterior intentions and start to kick up a fuss again. With no other choice, Matthew could only agree to arrange for Liam to be the general manager of the company.

Of course, Liam was overjoyed. He immediately packed up his things and came to the company to take up the post.

As for James, after he arranged for Liam to work in the company, it felt as if a heavy burden in his heart was lifted. In his opinion, with Liam supervising the finances, he didn’t need to worry about Matthew embezzling money. When the time came for the project in the villa area to be completed and the company made major profits, he planned to transfer the money to his account. In this way, this asset would always be in his hands and would not be snatched away by Matthew.
