Chapter 629

Liam stayed silent for a long time before he finally whispered, “Dad, why don’t we return the company shares to Matthew?”

James sighed sadly and nodded his head helplessly.

Now, this was the only way to save his family.

They initially expected to be able to get investment from other people, but now it seemed that this was impossible.

If they didn’t return the construction company to Matthew, they would basically be done for.

After that, the three of them got up and went home. Meanwhile, Matthew had returned home long ago.

Sasha was sitting in the living room with a cold expression. Seeing the three of them return, Sasha turned her head to the side in anger, not wanting to look at them at all.

The three of them knew that they were in the wrong so they didn’t dare to speak up.

Helen then walked over to Matthew and whispered, “Matthew, let’s go to the law firm tomorrow and transfer the company’s shares back to you. You can ask the Jackson Family, Jefford and the others not to withdraw their investment.”

Angry, Sasha commented, “Why don’t you guys go and talk to them by yourselves? You are so capable and are the head of the family. Plus, you’re the most important people in the Cunningham Family. Why don’t you guys go negotiate the cooperation by yourselves?”

In the past, Sasha’s words would have definitely started a quarrel.

However, the three now had no strength to quarrel anymore.

It was because of them that things had reached this point. They had caused a major disaster and were also in the wrong. Thus, they had no right to argue with Sasha.

Helen sighed heavily. “Matthew, what happened today is indeed our fault and for that, I apologize.

Tomorrow, we will return the shares to you. Don’t worry, we will never ask you for these shares again in the future so please go talk to them for Sasha’s sake!”

However, Sasha said furiously, “Mom, what you said is so incredulous that I’m sure even you yourself don’t believe it! Your assurance letter is still in my hands. It was written in black and white that you will never ask for these shares again in the future. But what did you guys do? You even disregarded the assurance letter, so why should Matthew believe your words now? You went back on your word and you have no credibility at all. Who would possibly want to cooperate with you in business in the future?”

James and Helen lowered their heads, looking extremely embarrassed.

What happened this time had completely ruined their credibility and what Sasha said was indeed true.

Sasha became more furious the more she spoke. “By the way, why did you go to the hospital today? I heard that Demi even slapped Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter; what were you guys doing? Do you think that you can run wild just because you’re rich? How bold of Demi to slap Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter.

Do you know how furious the Harrison Family was today? Do you know how many people want to terminate their contracts with our family? Do you know how much damage this caused to our company? If the board of directors pursues this matter, who will pay for the loss? Shall we sell the house to pay for it?”

Helen’s face was filled with tears. “Sasha, that’s enough. It was all our fault. Who would have thought that she was Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter? Your sister is still locked up now! Sasha, she is your sister, after all. Y-You have to find a way to save her! Sasha, I- I’ll kneel down…”

As Helen spoke, she kneeled down with a thud.

Enraged, Sasha immediately helped Helen up. “Mom, stop this! So what if she is my sister? Did Mr.

Harrison’s granddaughter deserve to be slapped by her? She’s the only female descendent in the Harrison Family for several generations so she’s the apple of their eyes. Even people from the Ten Greatest Families wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her, yet, Demi slapped her. How can I save her now?

You want me to ask the Harrison Family to not hold Demi accountable? Why would they do so?”
