Chapter 907

Chapter 907 He Can’t Proceed With This Investigation That night, Matthew told Sasha about this incident once they got home. She knitted her eyebrows in anger after she heard about the incident. “I knew it. It wasn’t a good idea for Liam to be the general manager. Forget it. I’ll talk to Dad at night and get Dad to kick Liam out of the company,” Sasha said in a huff.

Matthew nodded agreeably. He had the same idea in his head, but for some reason, he felt like things weren’t going to go so smoothly. James still shows a sense of hostility toward me, after all. He might not agree with our idea of kicking Liam out of the company!

James and Helen hadn’t returned home even after it was past eight in the evening. Thus, Matthew and Sasha had no choice but to head out for a meal. When they were back, they realized that both James and Helen were back home as well. Liam and Demi were sitting by one side, and their faces were both flushed. It looked as if they had had a few drinks.

James smacked a palm against the table the moment Matthew stepped in. “You’re finally back, huh, Matthew?!” He yelled at Matthew the moment the latter stepped into the house. “Get over here right now!”

Matthew froze for a moment. What is going on this time?

“What are you trying to do, Dad?” Sasha protested angrily.

“You shut up!” James shouted. “Tell me, Matthew. Are you unhappy because I got Liam to work as the general manager? You probably think I shouldn’t meddle with the construction company since I’m an old man, right? Is that why you keep causing trouble for Liam? Is that why you try to pick on him and chase him out? Are you trying to prove me wrong?”

“When have I ever caused him trouble, Dad?” Matthew frowned heavily.

“How dare you say that you didn’t do anything?” James howled. “What’s going on with Julian? He’s not offering any help to Liam in the construction company, and he’s hanging onto the company’s funds without giving it to Liam. What’s Julian trying to do? You arranged your men to handle the finances in the company, Matthew. How do you expect Liam to do anything when you’re putting a leash around his neck? He’s the general manager of the company. How can he do his job if he doesn’t get enough say in his actions?”

Matthew shot Liam a glare. It was evident that Liam made the first move to complain about Matthew.

“Things are not the way they seem to be, Dad,” Matthew uttered with a sigh. “The truth is that Julian felt like the company’s accounts have been all over the place recently. A lot of the accounts didn’t tally, and it seemed like a lot of money was disappearing. Julian only checked the accounts so that he could provide an explanation to the board of directors…”

Both James and Helen’s hearts skipped a beat when they heard Matthew’s words. A lot of money disappeared! We were the ones who took it, right? So, Julian is investigating us for taking the money!

Both of them clenched their fists at that thought. They couldn’t allow Julian to proceed with the investigation.

Helen grabbed the glass on the table before throwing it toward Matthew as she screamed, “Shut up, Matthew! Do you think I don’t know the sort of person you are? Back when you were with the pharmacy, you positioned Julian, Tiger, and that other guy, Ed, into the company. You guys were trying to take over our family business. Now, you’re doing the same thing in the construction company. James got Liam to be the general manager, and you got Julian to be the finance officer so that he could block Liam from doing things. Ultimately, you’re just a completely evil and nasty person! On the surface, you agreed to let Liam have the position as the general manager, but you secretly planted your men in the company to go against Liam’s wishes. You’re making it hard for Liam to do his job. I’ve never seen someone as horrible as you!”

A look of confusion spread across Matthew’s face. At this point, Sasha couldn’t stand it anymore, so she spoke up. “Can you be a little more rational here, Mom? The construction company belongs to Matthew. What has this got to do with the Cunningham Family? This is Matthew’s company, and you guys were the ones who insisted on having Liam as the general manager. Since the company funds are disappearing in Liam’s hands, shouldn’t Matthew—as the chairman of the company—question him?”
