Seeing that James was silent, Demi became desperate. “Dad, this project will definitely make a lot of
money. They’re looking down on us and asking to draw up an IOU right now, but it’ll be a slap in their
faces when we make money later. Nobody would dare to look down on us in the future!”
James took a deep breath before slowly nodding his head in agreement. “Alright, I’ll write an IOU.”
Sasha said softly, “Since that’s the case, let’s write the IOU right now. However, I still have to remind you
that 300 million isn’t a small amount, so whoever writes the IOU will be registered as the borrower of this
money.
If the capital is found to be misappropriated by then, the head office has the right to recall the money
anytime and will take the borrower to court. Let me ask you again, Dad—is this money really being used
for our drugstore chain?”
James was dumbstruck.
In reality, this money was intended for Liam to invest in real estate. If he transferred the money to Liam
and the Board of Directors sued him for it, he would be finished!
“Well… I…” James lost his tongue; he had no idea what to do.
Sasha then explained softly, “The person who wants the money should write the IOU, Dad. I can
withdraw the 300 million, and I don’t care what you all want to do with it.
However, I hope that the person who will be using this money can come forward and bear the
responsibility instead of burdening his or her aged parents down with such heavy debt and high risks.”
In fact, her speech was actually directed at Demi.
Helen and James immediately looked toward Demi; the both of them were unwilling to take on such
risks.
Demi went red in the face as she accused angrily, “What exactly do you mean by that, Sasha? Y-You
simply don’t want to transfer the money to us, do you? Who are you trying to scare by pulling so many
tricks? I’m telling you—if worst comes to worst, we won’t need this money!”
Sasha nodded. “It’s completely fine if you don’t want to use the money. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be
going to work.”
Then, she acted like she wanted to leave right away.
In a panic, Liam promptly shot Demi a glance. This time’s investment was very important, so he
desperately needed the 300 million.
Demi’s face went red; she was also unwilling to miss such an opportunity. After being silent for a while,
she gritted her teeth and agreed, “Alright, we’ll write the IOU since we’re going to invest this money. Are
you fine with that now?”
Sasha glanced at her. “Yeah, no problem.”
Demi uttered between clenched teeth, “You’d better remember this, Sasha. Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals has nothing to do with this time’s investment because we’re borrowing money from you
for the investment. Don’t be envious of us when we make more money by then!”
Sasha nodded calmly. “Don’t worry, we just want the 300 million back no matter how much money you
make later on; we won’t even ask you for one cent more.”
Demi sneered. “I hope that you can keep your words in mind! Let’s go to write the IOU right now. I want
the 300 million to be in place today!”
With that, they rushed to Wellness Herbary and wrote the IOU as arranged by the corporate lawyers.
Julian also kept his promise and had the 300 million transferred into Demi’s bank account on the spot.
Having gotten the money, Demi left Wellness Herbary with a livid face without even saying thank you.
Seething with anger, she and Liam rushed to a detached villa in North Suburb right away.
Being quite familiar with this place, Liam knocked on the door and went inside. They waited for a while
before Young Master Lach came downstairs with sleepy eyes.
Upon seeing Young Master Lach, Liam immediately sat up straight and said, “We have already gotten
the 300 million, Young Master Lach. When will the project begin?”
Young Master Lach ignored them. Instead, he sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyes for a long time.
Liam and Demi sat there with ingratiating smiles as their admiration for Young Master Lach grew.
As expected, Young Master Lach is a bigwig—he doesn’t even care about the 300 million. We really
found the right partner this time!
