Chapter 970

Chapter 970 We’re Divesting With a disdainful look, Jefford fumed, “Don’t try to pin this on me, James! I really don’t understand what kind of renovation would cost so much! Anyway, I’ve said enough. I’m going to check the accounts no matter what. Otherwise, I won’t leave.”

Hearing this, James sneered, “How could you be so shameless! Hmph, I’m only being courteous because we’re old friends. But this doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! Now, you guys should get lost immediately. Or else, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“What? Are you threatening me? Do you seriously think that I’d be afraid of you? What can you do to me?” Jefford roared.

Angry, James shouted back, “Go! Get Tiger here to kick them out!”

The people who were watching were at a loss of what to do. Then, one of them whispered, “President Cunningham, Master Tiger has already resigned…”

James froze. “What? What the hell? Why did he resign?”

In response, the person shook his head. “I don’t know. He resigned with Mr. Davis. I heard they didn’t want to work here anymore and wanted to start a new business.”

This puzzled James. Why so sudden?

Seeing this, Jefford snickered. “What’s the matter? Tiger can’t come? Listen to me: You can either let me check the accounts today, or I’ll divest! It’s up to you.”

Upon hearing this, James laughed. This project could make him tens of billions, and he didn’t want to share it with anybody. Before, he had no choice but to look for investors because he had no money.

However, they had already sold quite a few villas, and the company had funds. Hence, he was more than willing to see the investors divest right now.

“You’d better think this through! There’s no turning back once you withdraw your investment.” James chuckled.

Jefford hissed, “Stop talking nonsense! I’ll divest if you insist on not letting me audit the accounts! Now I know that no one should ever think of making money if they were to work with a b*stard like you! I don’t care how much this residential area would make. I’m not playing your games anymore!”

Cackling, James said, “Sure. I’ll do as you wish since you’d like to divest. Liam, go through the formalities with him and transfer his shares to me.”

“Sure. You can count on me! Mr. Jefford, are you sure you’d like to pull out? Why are you being so rash? Why would you give up now when we’re paying our shareholders their dividends soon?”

“Stop talking nonsense and get it done quickly!” Jefford curled his lips.

Right after, Liam got someone to handle the procedure of Jefford and the other shareholders’

divestment.

The capital that they invested was not much, so they didn’t get much money back from the divestment.

It had no significant impact on the company at all.

However, other shareholders came to pull out from the investment not long after Jefford and the few that were with him left.

Even the Jacksons pulled out on the following day. All the shareholders were gone.

The company’s funds are enough to solve this matter. There’ll still be a lot left after that! With that, all the money from the villas will be the Cunninghams’! James couldn’t stop laughing at that thought.

“You did well, Liam! I can’t believe we tricked all the shareholders into leaving. Hahaha… This way, we’ll earn tens of billions of dollars from this villa residential area!” James exclaimed excitedly.

At the same time, Liam beamed ear to ear. With all the shareholders gone, he wouldn’t have to worry about the board of directors auditing the accounts anymore.

“No problem!” Liam replied happily.

Sitting on the recliner, James continued to laugh and started fantasizing about living a rich life.

Little did they know that a crisis was looming over them, waiting to happen.
