Chapter 906

Chapter 906 He Has No Right to Check the Company’s Accounts Matthew furrowed his brows. I already knew that Liam would take this opportunity to slip some money into his own pockets. I didn’t really care about it at first because I didn’t want to have another argument with James and Helen over something like this. But I never expected Liam to be so greedy. He’s trying to turn a 200-million-project into a one-billion-project! He’s going to get a huge sum of money from this.

The moment Liam left the company building, he hurried over to meet Demi, who was in the middle of her shopping spree. “Matthew came to the office, Demi. He’s about to check the company’s accounts!”

Demi’s expression transformed into one of shock. “Why is this happening so soon? What… What are you going to do now?”

Liam grinned. “It’s fine. I spoke to Mom and Dad before this. We can talk to them about this matter when we meet them for a meal later. Matthew won’t be able to do anything as long as Mom and Dad don’t allow him to check the accounts!”

She seemed to come to a realization after hearing his words. “You’ve really thought this through, honey! You got Mom and Dad on our side even before anything happened. Things would’ve been harder to deal with otherwise!”

He chuckled. “Alright. You can go and look for Mom, and you can tell her about this. I’ll meet Dad now.

We’ll have dinner tonight!” After that, Liam hurried off to the pharmacy.

James had been busy dealing with the pharmacy’s renovation in the past few weeks, and he seemed rather puzzled when he saw Liam appear at the shop. “Aren’t you busy today, Liam?”

“I have nothing much to do at work for now,” Liam replied with a smile. “By the way, Dad, how are things going with the stocks you last purchased?”

The look on James’s face darkened a little. One of his friends had recommended him to purchase some stocks previously, and he had made some profit out of it. James figured that this would be a good way for him to get rich. That was why he transferred one million out of the pharmacy’s account to purchase more stocks. He profited a little more the second time.

After that, he made a huge decision and took out a total of ten million from the company to invest in stocks. However, he didn’t win any money then, and he even suffered some losses. He was afraid that Helen would check the accounts, so he no longer dared to play with stocks. Later, he immediately transferred the money back into the pharmacy’s account.

However, James felt rather uneasy after the losses he encountered in the stock market. Therefore, he went to Liam, who offered him a total of 20 million to invest.

James wasn’t as lucky with this investment. He lost about 40% of his investments, so his starting capital of 20 million had turned into just a little more than 10 million. He felt like he was prepared to drop dead.

When Liam asked him such a question, he responded in an awkward tone. “Um, the… the stocks aren’t doing too bad. Why? Does the construction company need money?”

Liam could guess what was going on just by the look on James’s face, but he just chuckled. “I don’t need any money now. However, well… Matthew wants to check the company’s accounts, and my accounts don’t tally. Dad, why don’t you transfer the funds back to the company’s account? We can talk about this once I deal with Matthew, okay?”

A shiver ran down James’s spine when he heard Liam’s words. Where am I going to find the money for Liam? He frowned before responding in an irritated tone. “What is Matthew trying to do? The company’s flooded with work, and he’s trying to check the accounts out of nowhere. Isn’t he just causing more trouble? The deadline for the residential area is coming up. What if his meddling causes a delay in the plan?”

Liam hastily replied, “I’ve told him the same thing, Dad. However, he never listens to me. He keeps saying that the construction company has been spending too much money. Dad, we’re building one of the most high-end residential areas. It’s only natural for us to spend more. You made me the general manager because you wanted me to check and ensure the quality of this project, right? But Matthew’s trying to check the company’s accounts now, so which one of us does he not trust? You or me?”

James was infuriated the moment he heard Liam’s speech, so he smacked a hand against the table.

“Tell him this—he has no right to check the company’s accounts! He’ll have to ask me before doing such a thing! He really thinks no one in the family can control him, huh?!”
