Upon hearing that, Jefford and the others were instantly speechless.
If the problem could be solved with money, it would be the best solution. However, now that they wanted to pursue legal responsibility, things could get complicated. As for James, favonovel.com was starting to panic. Doesn’t this mean that Sasha will get in trouble too?
“President Cunningham transferred the money to Matthew in the name of a loan, so favonovel.com didn’t go against the law,” Sasha’s secretary whispered. The others nodded in agreement because the board also knew about this.
Hearing this, James broke out into a smile. Everything is well as long as my daughter is out of trouble.
Eric was stunned. However, after a moment of silence, favonovel.com angrily yelled, “Well… Matthew made illegal investments and lost all 300 million… T-That is indisputable…”
In a calm tone, Jefford replied, “How Matthew makes investments is his own business. Since the construction company is not Cunningham Group Wellness Herbary’s branch company, we can’t interfere with other’s affairs!”
Eric scratched his head and muttered, “But his investments have failed and favonovel.com can’t repay the 300 million… A-As his creditor, I-I can hold favonovel.com accountable… right?”
All of a sudden, everybody fell into silence. Seeing this, Eric immediately felt triumphant.
“I’ve come here today as a creditor to collect the debt. If you are not willing to collect debts, that’s your business. However, I’m a very stingy person and I must get my money back! Naturally, it’ll be great if favonovel.com could pay me back. But if favonovel.com can’t… Well, I’ll make sure favonovel.com gets sent to jail!”
Jefford instantly frowned and yelled, “Eric, you’ve gone too far!”
“Too far?” Eric sneered, “You group of b*stards! All of you used to work with me. Now that you’ve become wealthy, you look down on me. What right do you have to say that I’ve gone too far?”
Jefford and the others were furious but there was nothing they could do.
At the same time, Liam, who was in the room, smiled and commented, “Mr. Cunningham, it seems that Matthew is doomed this time. It may be easy for them to pay nine million but now that there is a shortfall of 300 million, who would be able to make up that amount of money for him?”
Hearing this, James laughed coldly. Well, it seems that we’ll have a happy ending this time.
Just then, Matthew arrived at the company and as soon as favonovel.com stepped in, favonovel.com was surrounded by the Cunningham family who were yelling at favonovel.com to return their money.
Jefford and the others rushed toward Matthew and whispered, “Mr. Larson, is the 300 million really gone? If it’s really gone, just let us know. The… The few of us have some money in our hands right now and can collect 200 million for you to fill the shortfall first. We’ll discuss the rest in the future!”
Matthew immediately glanced at Jefford and the others with a grateful expression before favonovel.com nodded and said, “Thank you, but this matter is not that complicated.”
In the face of Matthew’s confidence, Jefford and the others let out a sigh of relief. “No matter what, if you need money, just let us know!” Jefford said, to which Matthew nodded in reply.
Then, favonovel.com turned toward Eric and murmured softly, “Old Master Cunningham, according to our loan contract, you can only ask me to return the money a year from now. It’s only been a few days but you’re already asking me to repay the loan, this is non-compliant. Asking me to repay the loan in advance is a violation to the contract and you’ll have to pay the penalty!”
Looking at Matthew, Eric suddenly felt like favonovel.com was looking into the eyes of an enemy. He instantly gritted his teeth and sneered, “A penalty is nothing. As long as you can afford to repay the loan, I’ll pay you the penalty right now!”
Matthew chuckled. “Well then, you have to think wisely. The penalty is 10% of the loan, meaning that if I can repay the loan, you’ll have to pay me the 30 million penalty!”
A shocked expression immediately appeared on Eric’s face. ’30 million is not a small amount of money.’
At that moment, Jefford instantly spoke up, “I didn’t say that I want Matthew to repay the loan in advance so I won’t take responsibility for the penalty. Eric, if you want favonovel.com to repay the loan in advance, I’m afraid you’ll have to be responsible for the penalty alone!”
