NovelEnglishChapter 597
One after another, other shareholders also spoke up and said that they wouldn't bear the penalty. All of a
sudden, everyone's gaze was focused on Eric and he instantly blushed in embarrassment. At first, he thought he
had grasped Sasha and Matthew's weakness. Never in a million years did he expect things to becso
troublesome.
A 30 million penalty! If Matthew can really repay the loan, I'll have to bear the 30 million myself!
Although the Cunningham Family's assets were worth more than 100 million, that was just the sum of their
assets. It would be impossible for them to gather 30 million in cash over a short period of time. More importantly,
even if they managed to amass that amount of money, the Cunningham Family could hardly afford it.
After a moment of silence, Eric finally made a decision and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Fine; I'll take
responsibility for the penalty myself! However, | have a request. The 300 million must be transferred to the
company account today! Otherwise, | won't pay a penny of the penalty."

Hearing this, Jefford started to panic. "How can you make such a request? Even if you want him to repay the
loan, you have to give him at least stto gather the money. How can you ask him to transfer 300 million
within a day? You're purposely making things difficult for him!"
Eric instantly sneered, "Stop with the nonsense! I'm only giving him a day! All of you are not taking responsibility
to pay the penalty so I'm bearing the burden alone. What right do you have to criticize me?" Jefford was enraged.
Then, he turned to look at Matthew and said, "Mr. Larson, | have 30 million in cash. If you need it, | can transfer it
to you anytime."
Monte quickly chimed in too, "I have 20 million. If need be, | can transfer it to you immediately."
The other shareholders also joined in and expressed their support for Matthew.
On the other hand, Eric looked extremely embarrassed. He never thought that those shareholders would treat
Matthew so well. They are willing to pool money together to pay off his debts. Do they really trust Matthew that
much?
Matthew grinned and said, "Thank you, everyone. It just so happens that | need 50 million. Why don't you pool
50 million forand think of it as an investment for the new project in my construction company? What do you
say?"
Everyone glanced at each other. After a while, Jefford asked in surprise, "50 million? Mr. Larson, have you already
collected the remaining 250 million?"
Hearing this, Eric smirked and said, "The construction company suffered a 300 million loss because of the
previous project but you're already starting a new one? Jefford and Monte, don't be fooled by him. Investing in
his project is the sas throwing money into the ocean. Only a fool would invest in him!"
However, Matthew ignored Eric and replied with a grin, "I didn't collect any money. There's still 250 million in the
construction company account."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liam and James, who were hiding in the room, were both dumbfounded.

"Does the construction company account really have that amount of money?" James asked.
With a stunned expression, Liam replied, "I don't think so. I've seen the accounts when | was at the construction
company and there's only a few million in it. Where did all the money cfrom? I'm sure Matthew is just
spouting lies!"
Meanwhile, outside the room, Jefford also asked in surprise, "Mr. Larson, why is there so much money in the
construction company's account? Didn't they say that you've invested all 300 million into a villa area? Could it be
that those rumors were false?"
With a smile, Matthew replied, "The rumors were right. However, most of the investment has already returned to
the construction company."
Every single person at the scene was stunned. "How is that possible?"
Matthew then explained everything that happened and after the crowd heard his explanation, everyone was
thrilled. However, inside the office, James and Liam almost broke down after hearing his story.
