Chapter 911 Don’t You Trust Us?
Sasha took a deep breath before she spoke in a somber tone. “I’m asking you guys a question, Mom, Dad! Did you just use the construction company’s money or not?”
Both James and Helen’s hearts skipped a beat as they both responded angrily. “Bullsh*t! What nonsense! How could we possibly use the construction company’s money? What would we do with it? We’re your parents! Don’t you trust us?” they said.
Sasha was left speechless. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that… The construction company’s expenditure is way too high. I have to figure out where all the money went. Things can’t go on like this. If the company continues to spend like this, we won’t be able to profit from the project at all!”
Once they returned to their rooms, James and Helen immediately called Liam to go over to theirs. “What’s going on, Liam? Why did the construction company spend so much?” James asked worriedly.
Liam seemed rather irritated. “Mom, Dad, the company has to spend in order for us to develop the most luxurious and high-end residential area. Just purchasing the materials used for exterior walls cost me more than 100 million already! The price for labor work to build the walls is even higher than the walls themselves. Furthermore, the green initiatives, bricks, and the general design… All of these require money! It’s easy to say that you want to come up with the best product, but it’s hard when you actually try to get it done!”
James wasn’t familiar with such things, so he scratched his head puzzledly. “Does it cost that much? Can’t… Can’t you buy something cheaper?”
“The one I bought is already the cheapest,” Liam explained. “Everything has been increasing in prices due to the recent inflation. I can’t do much about it.”
“Ah, we’re all family. You don’t need to be so formal about it,” Helen said with a dismissive wave.
Liam beamed. “By the way, Demi didn’t just buy things for herself. Dad, your watch, and Mom, your jewelry—Demi bought all of those for you guys! Ah, she’s really the most filial person I know. Whenever she buys things for herself, she keeps mumbling about things that you guys don’t have and what she should buy for you guys. She always thinks about you all first.”
At this point, James and Helen’s lips were spread into wide grins. They both found themselves growing increasingly fond of Liam.
“Ah, if only Sasha were half as filial as Demi!” Helen sighed.
