James was desperate. “I’ve already agreed to distribute 100 million among the shareholders. Don’t… Don’t you carry it too far!”
The shareholder sneered, “So what if I carry it too far? Does it upset you?”
“You… You…” James stuttered and didn’t know what to say.
At that moment, someone already pulled out his phone and was about to call the police. Seeing this, Helen hurriedly leaned close to Sasha. In a trembling voice, she whispered, “Sasha, you have to think of some way to save your father…”
Sasha was irritated. “How am I supposed to help him? The problem was already solved but he chose to cause more trouble. Now, the shareholders are provoked and they don’t even want the money anymore. What else can I do?”
Helen was in panic. “Sasha, if you don’t help, we might really go to jail. Your father and I are already of old age. Are you really willing to let us sit in jail?”
Sasha was already trembling in anger. Her parents’ moral coercion always made her feel helpless. However, they were still her parents so she had no choice but to help them.
“Everyone, please listen to me…” Sasha walked over and said, “I will definitely fulfil my promise of distributing 100 million. Please forgive my father for my sake and let him go…” However, the shareholder replied, “President Cunningham, it’s best if you don’t interfere in this matter. Your parents are obviously trying to fool us! If we don’t teach them a lesson today, their attitude and actions might worsen!”
Horror was written all over James and Helen’s faces. If even Sasha couldn’t solve this, they were in deep trouble.
Anxious, Helen hurriedly said, “Everyone, the two of us admit our mistakes. We were blinded by greed and it is our fault for creating all the trouble. We sincerely apologize and promise that we won’t do anything of the sort ever again. We are all a family… There’s no need to argue…”
The shareholder sneered, “Mrs. Cunningham, stop with your nonsense. Didn’t you treat us arrogantly just a moment ago? Are you starting to feel afraid? Oh well, it’s too late! I don’t need your apology! The two of you must pay for what you’ve done!”
James and Helen turned pale. Even apologies are not working. What should we do now?
Just then, Matthew stepped out and said, “Everyone, are you willing to hear what I have to say?”
Those shareholders stopped arguing and turned to look at Matthew. After the incident with Mr. Jones, Matthew had somehow gained the trust of the shareholders. The man who represented the group of shareholders nodded and said, “Mr. Larson, please go ahead!”
Matthew smiled faintly and replied, “Thank you! I’m sure the reason you all invested money in Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is to make money, not fight with us. If you’re planning to send Helen and James to jail just to vent your anger, it’s not worth it. After all, Sasha is the president of the company and is in charge of managing the company’s development. If her parents get sent to jail, do you think Sasha would be able to focus on the company’s affairs? When that happens, the company will have trouble developing and the loss will not just be 100 million.”
The shareholders nodded in agreement after hearing his words. Sasha was also amazed. Matthew had hit the nail on the head and pointed out the shareholders’ biggest worries.
“Well then, Mr. Larson, how do you think we should solve this problem?” the shareholder asked solemnly. “James and Helen tried to fool us. They should give us a satisfactory explanation!”
