Chapter 589


    Demi’s words didn’t sound like she was praising Matthew at all; it sounded like she was just being


    sarcastic. Sasha was infuriated, but what else could she do at this point? The shares had already been


    transferred, and nothing else could be done even if Matthew didn’t agree to it.


    With a chuckle, Helen sighed dly before she said, “You haven’t let us down, Matthew. Although you


    can be a little insensitive and awkward sometimes, you are a responsible person! Responsibility is the


    most important trait in every good man. Alright. We trust you, Matthew; you can definitely do it. James,


    you should stop arguing with Sasha now. She was just worried about Matthew. We’re a family after all;


    why do we need to do this?”


    James nodded without saying anything more. He had been terrified when he first heard that Sasha


    wanted to sell thepany’s shares off, and he only rxed once he knew that Matthew was willing to


    take full responsibility for this.


    Their dreams of living the rich life would be ruined if thepany shares were gone—this was the least


    desirable oue to James. Now that Matthew had agreed to take full responsibility, this might just be


    the best oue for James.


    Once they returned to the house, Helen and Demi continued to shower Matthew with praises as they


    both talked about preparing a nice meal for him. Sasha was in no mood to deal with this, so she quickly


    pulled Matthew upstairs. “What were you thinking, Matthew? T-This… They’re obviously getting you to


    take the fall. W-Why did you agree to it?” Sasha asked anxiously.


    With a smile, Matthew said, “I’ve seen the project that you’re talking about, Sasha. That’s Young Master


    Lach’s project; it’s the development with the vis, right?


    Shocked, Sasha asked, “Y-You knew about it?”


    “I have shares in the constructionpany. I saw several of the listed projects in thepany


    previously, and this was one of them.” He nodded.


    She immediately asked, “In that case, you know that this project has been ced on hold, right? They


    invested 300 million into this project, but Young Master Lach embezzled all of the money. Not only can


    they never get the money back, the project—which has been put on hold—is probably never going to


    happen now. All of the money is basically gone, so how are you going to fix such a huge problem?”


    “It’s not thatplicated. The money isn’t actually gone,” he uttered.


    “It’s not?” She was confused. “Didn’t Young Master Lach embezzle the money?”


    “No. If I’m not mistaken, the money should’ve gone into paying for the construction fees.” He shook his


    head as he spoke.


    She was shocked to hear this. “How do you know?”


    With a faint smile, he said, “Because a portion of that money has been directly returned to the


    constructionpany.”


    “The constructionpany? What?”


    He chuckled. “The constructionpany happens to be the one handling the construction for this


    project. The development belongs to the Jackson Family, and the area with vis was a coborative


    project with the Jacksons from the start. Our constructionpany is responsible for 70% of the whole


    area’s construction work, so whatever the Lach Family owes in construction fees, they owe it to the


    constructionpany itself. Hence, most of the 300 million was transferred back to the construction


    company.”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “I see.” Sasha finally understood the situation. “But doesn’t Liam know about this?”


    Quietly, Matthew replied, “Liam’s someone who’sid-back andzy; he isn’t serious when ites to


    his work. Although he is the general manager of the constructionpany, he doesn’t actually


    understand much about thepany itself. Take this project for example—he only nced through it


    without fully understanding the details and what is actually happening.”


    Sasha nodded as she fully agreed with what he said. Liam was the reason why James and the rest had


    lost 300 million to a scam previously. He often liked to boast about how capable he was, but he was


    really nothing more than a pretentious, useless individual. The one thing he was good at was sweet-


    talking and ttering both Helen and James, which made him the family favorite. It was annoying to


    watch it happen.
