    Chapter 971 Things Got Out of Control


    Just three days after Jefford and the other shareholders pulled out from the investment, a piece of news


    broke out in Eastcliff.

    ‘Construction of Vi Residential Area Cut Corners with Materials! 130 Million Dors Incurred for


    Materials Valued Less Than 10 Million Dors!’


    ‘Evil Developers Commit Malicious Fraud!’


    ‘The Truth Behind the Vis’ Whopping Prices!’


    All kinds of titles appeared one after another in Eastcliff’s major media outlets, all referring to the


    Cunninghams’ vi residential project.


    News traveled quickly in a short period. Soon, almost everyone in Eastcliff was talking about it.


    On that day, the vi residential area’s sales department was filled with people asking for a refund for the


    vi units that they had bought.


    Meanwhile, customers who had not bought yet decided not toe anymore.


    The reputation of the vi residential area waspletely destroyed. Many buyers got together in hopes


    of beingpensated for their losses by suing thepany.


    After knowing this, James was dumbfounded. He never thought that this matter would blow up.


    He immediately called Liam and asked him to go to the sales department to stop the buyers from getting


    a refund. At the same time, he called the press, hoping that they could help to dismiss the rumors.


    However, all of them rejected him because they had obtained solid evidence regarding the vi


    residential area’s inferior renovation. Anyone who helped thepany now would be heavily criticized.


    Hence, things escted very quickly in less than a day.


    Even the officials had closed the construction site and started investigating. The workers inside were


    taken away for interrogation overnight.


    In the evening, Liam came home pale-faced with his hair in a mess. His footsteps were so weak that it


    was as if he was floating.


    Right then, James was so distressed that he couldn’t stop pacing around the house. As soon as he saw


    Liaming home, he asked at once, “How are things? What happened in the sales department? Don’t


    give them a refund no matter how big a fuss they make, understand?”


    Looking down, Liam didn’t dare to say anything. Then, Demi, who had bruises on her face, told James,


    “Dad, I don’t think it’s that easy this time…”


    Instantaneously, James widened his eyes. “What did you say? We have Cunningham Pharmaceuticals,


    Wellness Herbary, the pharmacy, and the constructionpany. Do you know how much money we


    have right now? Do you know how powerful we are? Though we’re not as powerful as the Ten Greatest


    Families of Eastcliff, we’re pretty much there! Who could ever defeat us?”


    Upon hearing this, she sighed and decided not to say anything else.


    After being silent for some time, Liam said softly, “Most of the people causing the big fuss are from the


    Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. And I also heard that they were the ones who started it.”


    James was confused. “What… What did you say? Come again?”


    “The Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff were the ones behind this.” Liam sighed.


    Hearing this, James roared, “What does this have to do with them?”


    Softly, Demi exined, “Don’t you know? They bought 20% of the vis.”


    Puzzled, James asked, “What? H-How could this be? When did it happen?”


    “I just found out about it as well. They bought close to a hundred vis. They must be the ones causing


    such big trouble!”


    His face turned pale. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? Why did they


    buy the vis from ourpany?”
