Liam nodded and smiled as he said, “Yes. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals pretty much belongs to our family now so the only people who can transfer company funds are members of our family. Which is why the only person who can take responsibility for this disaster is Matthew.”
Helen frowned because she could understand what Liam was implying.
“Liam, are you saying that we should put the blame on Matthew and let him bear all the punishment?” Helen asked grimly.
Liam nodded with a grin while Demi burst into laughter. “What a great idea!”
Helen immediately shook her head. “That won’t do!”
Hearing this, Demi couldn’t help but feel startled. “Why not?”
Helen glared at her and said, “Demi, that is a very wicked thing to do! We’ve lost 300 million. Do you know how many years he will be sentenced? Matthew didn’t do anything. How could we let him take the blame? My conscience won’t allow me to do so!”
James slowly nodded too. His conscience was telling him that it wasn’t the right thing to do.
A gloomy expression appeared on Liam’s face as he had been planning to use the opportunity to send Matthew to jail. That way, he would be able to control the household.
After giving it some thought, Liam lowered his voice and said, “Helen, I understand what you mean but we have no other choice. We’ve lost 300 million so this matter will definitely be hard to solve. When people start asking questions, who will be the one taking the blame? Either we or Sasha goes to jail. What decision will you make? I don’t want to do such a wicked thing either but we really don’t have any other choice. Are you two really going to let yourselves or Sasha go to jail?” James and Helen glanced at each other before James gritted his teeth and said, “Liam, this happened because of you, so shouldn’t you be the one bearing the responsibility?”
Liam immediately replied, “James, I would take responsibility if I could but I’m not qualified to do so! I’m different from Matthew. He is a live-in son-in-law and part of the Cunningham family. I only married Demi and I’m not a live-in son-in-law. If I told the world that it was I who secretly transferred the company funds, do you think they would believe me?”
All of a sudden, James and Helen were speechless. As Liam had said, he was different from Matthew and couldn’t bear the responsibility.
Looking at their expressions, Liam grabbed the opportunity and hurriedly said, “James and Helen, I know that you two are kind people but we have no other choice. The two of you are of old age. If you go to jail, you won’t be able to handle it. I don’t think you can watch Demi and Sasha go to jail either. If Matthew doesn’t go to jail, who will?” James and Helen fell into complete silence. After a long while, James muttered, “What… What do you think we should do?”
Liam was overjoyed to hear this and he hurriedly told them his plan.
As soon as Liam walked out of Wayne Group, he was suddenly surrounded by a few cars.
The man leading the group glanced at Matthew and asked, “Are you Matthew? My boss wants to have a chat with you!”
Matthew frowned and asked, “Who’s your boss?”
The man sneered, “You’ll find out once you get there!”
However, Matthew was unbothered and turned to leave.
The man was instantly furious and he yelled, “Didn’t you hear what I said? I asked you to come with me…”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Matthew’s shoulder. However, Matthew grabbed his arm without turning back and simply twisted his hand, dislocating the man’s wrist.
The man instantly screamed in pain before he roared, “How dare you f*cking hurt me? Men, beat him to death!”
With that, a group of men aggressively rushed over and surrounded Matthew.
