Chapter 975 I’ll Drag You Two Down With Me if I Go to Jail
Pale-faced, Liam trembled. “Dad… I can’t go to jail! What will happen to Demi if I do? I-I only did this for our family…”
“If you really did it for us, it’s all the more reason for you to turn yourself in! We can only overcome this hurdle if you and Matthew take responsibility. You’re a dutiful son-in-law; surely you don’t want to see your mom and I live on the streets,” James replied coldly.
Liam looked at Demi helplessly. However, she turned her head and looked away.
Then, Matthew walked toward the door and chuckled. “Come on. Let’s go turn ourselves in!”
At that moment, all eyes were on Liam. His face flushed red and then turned purple.
Suddenly, he jumped up and shouted, “I’ll never turn myself in and go to jail! You can go if you want to, Matthew. I’ll… I’ll never go…”
Annoyed, James stood up and slammed his palm on the table. “What do you mean by that? You keep saying what a filial son you are, yet you’re not willing to sacrifice for our family now? Look at Matthew, and then look at yourself! Both of you are sons-in-law of the Cunningham family, so why can’t you act more responsibly? What right do you have to be my son-in-law?”
Immediately, Liam’s face flushed with anger. “Why should I go to jail? It was not my own idea. Don’t you think this is unfair, Dad?”
Then, Sasha interjected, “Who said you’re going to jail alone? My husband’s going with you!”
Furious, James slammed the table and roared, “What are you trying to say? Are you going to drag us down too? Don’t even think about it! It was all your doing, and we have nothing to do with it.”
“Is it really true that you weren’t involved, though?” Liam sneered. “You took 20 million from the construction company while Mom took 10 million. And I also transferred a billion into your account two days ago. It was all the construction company’s funds. Your new car, watch, and Mom’s jewelry were bought with the company’s money. You two won’t be able to get out of this if they check the accounts when we go to court.”
Instantaneously, James turned dark as he slumped on the couch.
At that point, he finally realized that the situation was more complicated than he thought.
He and Helen wouldn’t be able to escape from this if things got out of hand.
