Young Master Lach drank a cup of tea and ate his breakfast before returning to the side of the sofa.
Meanwhile, Liam and Demi were still sitting reverently with embarrassed smiles.
Young Master Lach said slowly, “300 million isn’t quite enough. Didn’t I say that the funding gap here is
500 million?”
Liam and Demi looked embarrassed. “Young Master Lach, t-this is all we have for now. Can’t we put in
the money first and find a way to cover the remainder of the funding gap later on?”
Young Master Lach shot them a glance and said, “Never mind—what solution can you two possibly think
of? Worst comes to worst, I’ll just go back and plead with my Dad a little; the 300 to 500 million will soon
be available at any time. Actually, your investment is of little significance to me.”
Liam quickly responded, “I understand that, of course. Young Master Lach, please take it as you’re
guiding us. Feel free to tell us if there’s anything you’d like us to do in the future. We won’t hesitate to
do whatever you want under any circumstances!”
It was only then did Young Master Lach’s expression ease slightly. With a wave of his hand, he said,
“Alright, I’ll just consider this as becoming friends with you two. Just look for Miss Hill—my secretary—
and tell her to arrange for the money to be transferred. The project will officially start three days later. Do
come over to cut the opening ceremony ribbon with me!”
Overjoyed, Liam and Demi thanked Young Master Lach repeatedly in excitement.
They then followed a woman to have the 300 million transferred. While they were transferring the money,
Liam glanced at the laptop screen out of curiosity. “Miss Hill, s-shouldn’t the money be transferred into
Young Master Lach’s bank account?”
Miss Hill was quite pretty, but it was obvious from her cold expression that she looked down on both Liam
and Demi.
She responded icily, “This money goes directly to the engineering department since some of the previous
advances on the account need to be paid right now. As you have seen, the development project of our
villa area is already coming to an end; the villas can be officially put up for sale once the remaining
balance is settled. You two have chosen the right time to invest the money; it was most difficult to draw
investments back when the project was proposed to develop the area. Rather than investing at that time,
you two chose to invest when it’s time to gain profits from the project. Hmph, you two should count
yourselves lucky that Young Master Lach is suggestible. Who else would accept an investment at such a
time?”
Liam and Demi smiled with embarrassment, but their hearts were bursting with joy.
Soon after that, the 300 million was transferred; the two of them then left in exultation after getting the
investment contract.
Meanwhile, James and Helen were waiting anxiously when they reached home.
Both of them looked excited when Demi told them what had happened just now with lots of
embellishments added to the story.
Helen said excitedly, “We’d be able to make at least three times the money we’ve invested this time,
right? Soon, we’ll earn 900 million! Hahaha! We can definitely expand and strengthen the construction
company by putting the 900 million toward our start-up capital plus Young Master Lach’s connections.
You have done a great job this time, Liam. Your Dad and I will buy you a nice car when we get our
money back later!”
Liam looked smug as he responded with a smile, “Mom, please be rest assured about the way I do
things. Most importantly, we must make Matthew go through all the proper procedures within the
construction company. When the construction company makes money later on, wouldn’t we have to pay
him his dividends since he still holds some shares here?”
Stanley had transferred the construction company to James’s name previously, but he gave Matthew
some shares to keep James in check.
Helen nodded repeatedly. “You’re right. James, remember to tell Sasha that the company’s shares must
be transferred to our names later.”
James nodded in agreement.
Matthew had just come home from work that afternoon when James and Helen approached him.
It was obvious that their purpose of meeting Matthew was to get him to transfer the construction
company to James’s name.
Moreover, they had deliberately approached him when Sasha was absent; James and Helen could force
Matthew into doing so while he was alone to prevent Sasha from stopping them.
Having no other alternative, Matthew could only agree to this.
That afternoon, James and Helen marched him off specifically to get his shares in the company
transferred. Once the procedures were completed, Matthew would no longer have anything to do with
the construction company.
