Chapter 597


    One after another, other shareholders also spoke up and said that they wouldn’t bear the penalty. All of a


    sudden, everyone’s gaze was focused on Eric and he instantly blushed in embarrassment. At first, he


    thought he had grasped Sasha and Matthew’s weakness. Never in a million years did he expect things to


    be so troublesome.


    A 30 million penalty! If Matthew can really repay the loan, I’ll have to bear the 30 million myself!


    Although the Cunningham Family’s assets were worth more than 100 million, that was just the sum of


    their assets. It would be impossible for them to gather 30 million in cash over a short period of time.


    More importantly, even if they managed to amass that amount of money, the Cunningham Family could


    hardly afford it.


    Seeing Eric’s reaction, Liam pouted and said, “Eric Cunningham really is stupid. Matthew is only


    scaring him so what’s there to be afraid of? I don’t believe that Matthew can repay the 300 million.


    What is Eric afraid of?”


    After a moment of silence, Eric finally made a decision and he gritted his teeth as he said, “Fine; I’ll take


    responsibility for the penalty myself! However, I have a request. The 300 million must be transferred to


    thepany ount today! Otherwise, I won’t pay a penny of the penalty.”


    Hearing this, Jefford started to panic. “How can you make such a request? Even if you want him to repay


    the loan, you have to give him at least some time to gather the money. How can you ask him to transfer


    300 million within a day? You’re purposely making things difficult for him!”


    Eric instantly sneered, “Stop with the nonsense! I’m only giving him a day! All of you are not taking


    responsibility to pay the penalty so I’m bearing the burden alone. What right do you have to criticize me?”


    Jefford was enraged. Then, he turned to look at Matthew and said, “Mr. Larson, I have 30 million in cash.


    If you need it, I can transfer it to you anytime.”


    Monte quickly chimed in too, “I have 20 million. If need be, I can transfer it to you immediately.”


    The other shareholders also joined in and expressed their support for Matthew.


    On the other hand, Eric looked extremely embarrassed. He never thought that those shareholders would


    treat Matthew so well. They are willing to pool money together to pay off his debts. Do they really trust


    Matthew that much?


    Matthew grinned and said, “Thank you, everyone. It just so happens that I need 50 million. Why don’t


    you pool 50 million for me and think of it as an investment for the new project in my construction


    company? What do you say?”


    Everyone nced at each other. After a while, Jefford asked in surprise, “50 million? Mr. Larson, have


    you already collected the remaining 250 million?”


    Hearing this, Eric smirked and said, “The constructionpany suffered a 300 million loss because of


    the previous project but you’re already starting a new one? Jefford and Monte, don’t be fooled by him.


    Investing in his project is the same as throwing money into the ocean. Only a fool would invest in him!”


    However, Matthew ignored Eric and replied with a grin, “I didn’t collect any money. There’s still 250


    million in the constructionpany ount.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Liam and James, who were hiding in the room, were both


    dumbfounded.


    “Does the constructionpany ount really have that amount of money?” James asked.


    With a stunned expression, Liam replied, “I don’t think so. I’ve seen the ounts when I was at the


    constructionpany and there’s only a few million in it. Where did all the moneye from? I’m sure


    Matthew is just spouting lies!”


    Meanwhile, outside the room, Jefford also asked in surprise, “Mr. Larson, why is there so much money in


    the constructionpany’s ount? Didn’t they say that you’ve invested all 300 million into a vi area?


    Could it be that those rumors were false?”


    With a smile, Matthew replied, “The rumors were right. However, most of the investment has already


    returned to the constructionpany.”


    Every single person at the scene was stunned. “How is that possible?”


    Matthew then exined everything that happened and after the crowd heard his exnation, everyone


    was thrilled. However, inside the office, James and Liam almost broke down after hearing his story.
