Just as Helen was trying to comment further, she was stopped by James who declared, “That’s
enough! Since Sasha has decided to withdraw the investment, it shows that she still cares about us.
Helen, you shouldn’t be angry with her anymore. In fact, we can make sure we are safe just by getting
Matthew to make a pledge that the plan won’t have anything to do with us.”
James was not that dumb to forget that the main purpose of their visit was to compel Sasha into Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
withdrawing the investment.
Since she had decided to cancel the investment, it was about time they put a stop to the scene
because it wouldn’t do them any good by letting it escalate.
At the same time, he was brewing his own scheme in his mind.
Sasha would wake up to the reality if Matthew failed in his investment.
Having caused so many investors to lose their money, there was no doubt Matthew would become the
target of the resentment of all those investors.
When the time came, he reckoned Sasha would get a divorce with him even if they didn’t urge her.
Meanwhile, Helen did not actually have the intention to jump off the building and all she wanted to do
was to give Sasha a scare.
She got down from the window and glared at Matthew. “Matthew, make a pledge now to say that the
plan has nothing to do with us!”
Matthew muttered, “Mom, I don’t need the investment from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, but what
about the profits?”
Demi cut him off by raging, “You better keep your mouth shut! Did you just mention profits? You must
be having a daydream. Do you really think you can win? Let me be very clear with you that we don’t
want to invest in your plan, and neither do we want the profit from it! Don’t you try to trick us because
people will associate us with your plan once they know we want the profit! You just have to make a
pledge to tell everyone that this plan is not related to our family and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals no
matter what is the outcome of it!”
Both James and Helen nodded vigorously in agreement. “Demi is right! We don’t want your profits so
don’t you try to get us implicated if you fail! We won’t be interested even if you manage to get billions in
profit!”
Sasha said behind gritted teeth, “Dad, Mom, you guys said the same thing when we were at the
Jacksons’ place last time but what did you guys do when Matthew later received a 300 million sum as
compensation?”
James and Helen looked embarrassed at once because their shameful past was raked up by Sasha.
James flew into a rage. “Shut up! Do you think I want his money? Well, I will make myself very clear
today—Matthew, regardless of whether you win or lose at the medical conference and how much
money you manage to earn, I won’t ask for a dime from you and I won’t even mention the plan! If I
regret my decision, I will be struck by lightning! Are you satisfied now?”
Sasha averted her face away from her father in a huff.
Matthew replied in a soft voice, “Dad, please calm down. Fine, I’ll make the pledge.”
Demi spoke immediately, “Hold on, I need to record this!” Then, she fished out her phone and aimed it
at Matthew before she added, “You can do it now!”
With resignation written all over his face, he sighed, “I hereby pledge that this plan will not be related to
the Cunninghams as well as the Cunningham Pharmaceuticals in any way. Is that enough?”
It was only then did James and Helen nod in approval. “Well, you should transfer the 200 million back
to the company then! You rascal, you’ve incurred the company so much interest by just transferring the
money back and forth. I think the amount of interest is enough to buy us a property.”
At that moment, Demi suddenly voiced her opinion, “Dad, Mom, I don’t think he should transfer the
money back to us.”
Looking astonished, both James and Helen queried, “Why not? Have you gone mad?”
Demi explained with a smile, “Didn’t Jefford and the bunch say they wanted to invest in Matthew’s
plan? We can treat the 200 million as part of their investment. In this case, we don’t even have to bear
the interest payment. That’s one way to maximize our benefit!”
The eyes of James and Helen lit up. “Hey, that’s a good idea! We’ll do as you say. Sasha, give those
shareholders a call and ask them to come back here and sign an agreement to avoid any future
dispute.”
