Chapter 618

Demi curled her lips. “So what? What’s wrong with taking back what’s ours? Don’t forget, the three
hundred million was borrowed from our company. To put it bluntly, all of this belonged to us. Besides,
Matthew is just a live-in son-in-law. If you demand for the shares, he has no choice but to give it to you.”

Now, Liam was nodding too. “The company shares aren’t the issue; it’s all about our family property!
Larson isn’t a good person at all. Look at what he has done—he and his sister have complete control of
Wellness Herbary. Now, we’re struggling even if we just want to spend some money. Not to mention, the
board of directors of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals are supporting him. If he has control over the
construction company, then our family property will all belong to him. We can’t condone this!”

However, James was still a little hesitant. “Would that be appropriate? Actually, Matthew has done quite
well…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Liam said in a low voice. “What’s important is that you’re the head of the family, so
you’re the one who should be in charge of the family’s future! After all, he is an outsider in this
household. If he has any ill intentions, it will be over for us!”

Upon hearing this, James was successfully convinced and nodded. “Go get Matthew.”

Overjoyed, Demi immediately went to the kitchen and arrogantly called out for Matthew. Walking into the
living room, Matthew asked, “You called for me?”

James nodded and said seriously, “Matthew, I’ve been thinking and I feel that you have too much on your
plate. Your job at the hospital is important and you need to be focused. As for the construction company,
you should leave it to me. Let’s go to the construction company for the handover of the shares.”

All at once, Matthew was stunned. “But didn’t you say that you didn’t want it anymore? Why do you
suddenly want it back?”



Furrowing his brows, James retorted, “I can change my mind, can’t I? What is the meaning of this? Are
you questioning me now?”

“I didn’t mean it that way,” Matthew hurriedly explained. “However, I’m afraid the Jackson Family will be
unhappy if I returned the shares to you.”



Angrily, James snapped, “What does this have to do with the Jackson Family? The shares belong to us
so they have no say in what we do with it.”

Then, Matthew said, “Even so, this project is a huge one and the Jackson Family invested a large sum of
money in it. As such, this is extremely important to them and they would not allow any errors. If I returned
the shares to you now, the Jackson Family will think that I’m trying to get off the hook. By then, things
would get really messy!”

Upon hearing this, James was taken aback for a moment before he berated, “Nonsense! You’re handing
the shares to me, not anyone else. I’m the head of this family and we own Cunningham Pharmaceuticals
as well as Wellness Herbary. Is me personally taking charge of Wellness Herbary not enough? Why
would the Jackson Family think that way?”

Instantly, Demi snickered. “Matthew, you overestimate yourself. Do you think the Jackson Family actually
cares about you? They need someone influential to run the construction company! No matter how you
look at it, Dad is far more suitable than you!”

At that moment, Liam curled his lips. “Oh, Matthew. Do you really think you can personally take on this
company with that lame excuse? You underestimate our intelligence.”

Helplessly, Matthew shrugged. “Since you have said so, we’ll go to the office tomorrow and get
everything sorted out.”



Satisfied, James nodded. “Good. Don’t worry, Matthew. You successfully negotiated this deal so I will
definitely repay you when the time comes. When the project is done, you can take my BMW.”

Upon hearing this, Matthew was speechless. In fact, this BMW was gifted to him by Billy. Later, Tiger
also gifted him a Mercedes-Benz, which was then taken away by James. Meanwhile, the BMW had
become Helen’s car. Now, James was acting as if he was very generous but in reality, he was just giving
Matthew a second hand car.
