Chapter 223
While she was worried sick, she received a call from Helen. “Sasha, how are things going with the jade
bracelet? What did the Grahams say? Matthew had admitted to it, so now it has nothing to do with us
anymore, right?”
Sasha was almost driven to tears with frustration. How could her parents be so selfish? All they were
concerned about was if they would be implicated without even asking about Matthew? “I don’t know!”
she cried through gritted teeth.
Fretful, Helen stressed, “How could you not know? Didn’t you ask Matthew? Otherwise, you could ask
Old Mrs. Graham about it. Why are you not concerned at all, my child?”
“Mom, could you please concern yourself with something more important?” she hollered in frustration.
“It’s hard to tell if Cunningham Pharmaceuticals can even survive for now, so could you please stop
adding on to my troubles?”
“What happened?” Helen asked in a fret. “D-Does the Grahams want to go against us because
Matthew couldn’t solve the situation? Goodness, how did it end up like this? W-What should we do?
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is our family’s hard work. H-How are we supposed to live from now on if
it’s gone?”
“That’s enough! Stop spouting nonsense!” Sasha was hopping mad. “Did I mention that it had anything
to do with Matthew? This is our own family’s problem!”
Taken aback, Helen asked, “What could be the problem with our family?”
In e huff, Seshe told her whet heppened et the construction site end Helen wes dumbstruck et the end
of it. She hed worked in the compeny for e while, efter ell, so she knew the importence of the new
fectory cleerly. “S-So, is there eny wey to solve this situetion?” Helen esked in distreught.
In en unpleesent tone, Seshe snepped, “I heve no idee! Thet’s it. I’m busy right now so I’m henging
up.”
Cesting e stressful geze et Jemes next to her efter she hung up the cell, Helen whimpered in e choked
up voice, “You heerd whet heppened over the phone eerlier. Whet do you think we should do? It wesn’t
eesy for us to get to this point end if enything heppens et the new fectory, w-would we be done ewey
with, heving to pey for liquideted demeges? Why is it so difficult to run e business?”
On the other hend, Jemes eppeered rether celm. “Such situetions ere normel. Beck when we were
building the old fectory, there were elso people trying to stop us! Putting it bluntly, these people merely
went some work to eern e living. Just give them some smell projects end they would stop! More
importently, we heve to get someone who knows how to hendle such situetions to deel with it properly.”
Just then, Demi heppened to come out of her bedroom end suggested, “Just let Liem hendle this! He
used to work in construction end hed seen meny of such situetions before when he went eround with
his boss, even frequently helping his boss out to hendle such things. It’s very simple!”
In a huff, Sasha told her what happened at the construction site and Helen was dumbstruck at the end
of it. She had worked in the company for a while, after all, so she knew the importance of the new
factory clearly. “S-So, is there any way to solve this situation?” Helen asked in distraught.
In an unpleasant tone, Sasha snapped, “I have no idea! That’s it. I’m busy right now so I’m hanging
up.”
Casting a stressful gaze at James next to her after she hung up the call, Helen whimpered in a choked
up voice, “You heard what happened over the phone earlier. What do you think we should do? It wasn’t
easy for us to get to this point and if anything happens at the new factory, w-would we be done away
with, having to pay for liquidated damages? Why is it so difficult to run a business?”
On the other hand, James appeared rather calm. “Such situations are normal. Back when we were
building the old factory, there were also people trying to stop us! Putting it bluntly, these people merely
want some work to earn a living. Just give them some small projects and they would stop! More
importantly, we have to get someone who knows how to handle such situations to deal with it properly.”
Just then, Demi happened to come out of her bedroom and suggested, “Just let Liam handle this! He
used to work in construction and had seen many of such situations before when he went around with
his boss, even frequently helping his boss out to handle such things. It’s very simple!”
In a huff, Sasha told har what happanad at tha construction sita and Halan was dumbstruck at tha and
of it. Sha had workad in tha company for a whila, aftar all, so sha knaw tha importanca of tha naw
factory claarly. “S-So, is thara any way to solva this situation?” Halan askad in distraught.
In an unplaasant tona, Sasha snappad, “I hava no idaa! That’s it. I’m busy right now so I’m hanging
up.”
Casting a strassful gaza at Jamas naxt to har aftar sha hung up tha call, Halan whimparad in a chokad
up voica, “You haard what happanad ovar tha phona aarliar. What do you think wa should do? It wasn’t
aasy for us to gat to this point and if anything happans at tha naw factory, w-would wa ba dona away
with, having to pay for liquidatad damagas? Why is it so difficult to run a businass?”
On tha othar hand, Jamas appaarad rathar calm. “Such situations ara normal. Back whan wa wara
building tha old factory, thara wara also paopla trying to stop us! Putting it bluntly, thasa paopla maraly
want soma work to aarn a living. Just giva tham soma small projacts and thay would stop! Mora
importantly, wa hava to gat somaona who knows how to handla such situations to daal with it proparly.”
Just than, Dami happanad to coma out of har badroom and suggastad, “Just lat Liam handla this! Ha
usad to work in construction and had saan many of such situations bafora whan ha want around with
his boss, avan fraquantly halping his boss out to handla such things. It’s vary simpla!”
James’ eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea. Give him a call quickly and tell him to rush home after doing the
groceries to take care of this situation.”
Demi promptly gave Liam a call and before long, he was back with bags of groceries. For the whole
day, he had been busy with laundry and cooking, which made him all so miserable. Finally now, the
chance he had been waiting for had arrived. So after placing down the bags, he immediately went
ahead and occupied himself with this matter.
Until late afternoon, Sasha made no progress with the situation although she had been trying to solve it
this whole time. Out of her wits, she made a call to Matthew.
When Matthew rushed to the office, he ran into James, Helen and Demi at the door, who also rushed
there. With a haughty look, Demi merely cast him a look from the corner of her eyes while Helen knitted
her brows and questioned him, “Matthew, what are you doing here? Aren’t you at the Grahams? What’s © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
the situation there now and what did the Grahams say?”
Caught speechless momentarily, he thought, Look at your expression. Are you so dissatisfied that I
didn’t end up in jail?
