Chapter 85
After James and Helen left, Liam glanced at Matthew mockingly and said, “Matthew, you guaranteed
that the evidence is real with your life, right? I will remember it clearly and you better not forget about it
either!”
After Liam finished speaking, he strode away triumphantly.
Matthew frowned hard. James and Helen are too prejudiced against me. It’s really hard for me to
convince them.
Sasha sighed and muttered, “It’s obvious that Mr. Jones is a con man but my parents won’t listen to
me. What should we do now?”
Matthew thought about it for a moment. “The most important thing right now is to not let your parents
touch the company’s funds. That way, even if they fall into Mr. Jones’s trap, they won’t lose a lot!”
“Okay. I’ll pay extra attention to the company’s bank account later.”
Not long after Sasha left, she ran back into the office and sobbed as she said, “Matthew, something
bad happened. The company… 300 million is gone from the company’s bank account!”
Matthew was just about to leave but when he heard this, he jumped in fright.
300 million? That’s not a small amount!
“Where did the money go?” Matthew asked anxiously.
“I don’t know! Demi is the one in charge of the company’s finances. She said that she received my
orders to transfer the money to a bank account, but I never ordered any transfers. The company’s
official seal is not even with me!”
Matthew’s expression turned grim. “I’m sure that it was your parents who ordered the transfer!”
“Why would they need so much money?”
Matthew hurriedly replied, “They must’ve fallen into Mr. Jones’s trap! Let’s go and ask them what’s
going on.”
With that, the two of them ran upstairs and rushed into James’s office.
“Dad, 300 million was transferred out of the company’s bank account. Where did you transfer it to?”
Hearing this, James couldn’t help but feel startled. Then, he and Helen exchanged a glance before he
said in a serious tone, “So you found out. Well then, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I was the one
who transferred the money. I’m working with Mr. Jones and we bought a piece of land to turn into real
estate…”
“What?!” Sasha yelled in horror. “You transferred the money to Mr. Jones? Dad, that man is a con
man!”
“Stop talking!” James pounded the table with his fist angrily. “Let me say this one more time. Mr. Jones
is not a con man. In fact, he is a benefactor to our family.”
“But he is a con man! How long has it been since you met him and how much do you know about him?
How could you transfer 300 million to him? Dad, have you lost your mind?”
Helen flew into a rage immediately. “How dare you speak to your father like that?! Your father is doing
all of this for you! Do you know the return rate of this investment? More than ten times! We could earn
at least 3 billion after investing 300 million into this project! With that amount of money, the
Cunningham family will be able to become one of the wealthiest families in Eastcliff. This is a chance
for our family to rise! We only have you and Demi as our children. Everything we are doing is for both
of your sakes. How could you disappoint your father?”
Sasha was extremely upset. Her parents always gave the excuse that they were doing it for her own
good and never thought about her feelings. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
In a serious tone, Matthew said, “James and Helen, I guarantee with my life that Mr. Jones is a con
man! Hurry up and give me his address. I’ll head over there right now and ask him to return the
company’s money. Tell me now or it’ll be too late!”
This time, it was Helen who slammed her fist on the table. “Shut your mouth! You’re not allowed to
speak ill of Mr. Jones!”
While the people in the office were arguing, an employee just happened to walk past the doorway. After
hearing the commotion inside, there was a gleam in his eyes. Then, he snuck into the washroom,
pulled out his phone and sent a text.
