Chapter 908 An Indication of Trust
Sasha’s words seemed to have stirred up the hornet’s nest, and Demi immediately let out a loud scoff. “That doesn’t sound right, Sasha! Sure, the construction company exists under Matthew’s name. However, I hope you didn’t forget that Dad was the one who transferred the shares to Matthew. In other words, Dad was the one who gave him the company. Furthermore, Matthew’s just a live-in son-in-law. Is there anything here that truly belongs to him? His clothes and meals are all provided by us Cunninghams. How dare he say that the company belongs to him? All of it belongs to the Cunninghams, do you understand?!”
Similarly, James lost his temper after hearing Sasha’s words. “What do you mean by that, Sasha? Matthew is just a live-in son-in-law. How could you say that the construction company belongs to him? Even if you guys ever get a divorce, a live-in son-in-law like him should leave without taking anything from us. What has our family matters got to do with him?”
Helen shook her head disappointedly. “How did you turn out like this, Sasha? Why are you supporting an outsider instead of your own family? Don’t you know who’s the closest to you here?”
“Did you just call me shameless?” James burst out in anger. “Say that again! What’s this?! Are you embarrassed to have a father like me? Fine! If I’ve embarrassed you in any way, then I’ll just walk out and get a car to run me over now! I won’t embarrass you anymore once I’m dead. How does that sound to you?” James shouted while he charged out the door.
Liam hastily went over to stop James. “Dad! Calm down, Dad. Ah, it’s all my fault. I failed to manage the company. Why don’t you just allow Matthew to check the accounts, Dad? I’m not guilty of anything, anyway…”
However, Sasha wasn’t ready to give in yet. “What are the both of you doing, Mom, Dad? Matthew just wants to check the accounts. It isn’t even a big deal. Is there a need for both of you to react so strongly? You guys can just let Matthew run a check since Liam claims that he isn’t guilty of anything. Why are you guys so against this? Could there really be something wrong with the company’s accounts?”
Both Helen and James turned pale immediately. “What sort of problems could there be?” they both asked at the same time.
Helen widened her eyes as she glared at Sasha. “This isn’t about the company’s accounts, Sasha. It’s a matter of pride! Your dad was the one who assigned Liam the role of the general manager, and Liam is there as a representative of the Cunningham Family. If Matthew checks the accounts, it indicates that he doesn’t trust Liam. Not trusting Liam indicates that he doesn’t trust your father and the Cunningham Family! How will we hold our heads high in the future if we simply allow Matthew to run checks on us like that? If this matter spreads to the public, some people might even think that a live-in son-in-law has taken over the Cunninghams’ power!”
