Chapter 88
Captain Cole hurriedly asked, “What villa? We’ll take a look!”
Helen told him the address of the villa and soon, Captain Cole found something. “That villa belongs to a man called Alex. He just rented it out two weeks ago!”
Helen was in shock. “Rent? It doesn’t belong to Mr. Jones?”
“Con men like him would usually rent high-end houses to give people an impression that he is highly capable. It is one of the ways they con people!”
Liam anxiously yelled, “But he had 1.5 billion in his bank account! We saw it with our own eyes!”
Captain Cole replied, “With the current advanced technologies, they can create fake bank accounts and input any amount they want.”
Liam was dumbfounded. In a trembling voice, he asked, “I-Is it possible to get our money back?”
Captain Cole shook his head. “The possibility is really low!”
Anxious, he shouted, “B-But why? We just transferred it to him this morning. It hasn’t even been three hours…”
“They launder money through the internet and can transfer 300 million to bank accounts anywhere in the world in less than an hour. Three hours is enough to completely launder all that money and it is impossible to track it!”
Helen’s knees turned weak and with a thud, she slumped to the ground. Then, in a daze, she mumbled, “How is this happening? Why is this…”
As for James, he was so heartbroken, he spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted. However, Eric and the rest of the Cunningham family looked delighted. After all, this was something they wanted to see most. “Sasha, are you going to admit that you transferred the money, or are you going to watch your parents get sent to jail?”
Hearing this, Sasha’s face went pale. As she looked at her miserable parents, she felt her heart ache. After a while, Sasha gritted her teeth and raised her voice. “About this incident, I…”
Before Sasha finished her sentence, Matthew suddenly interrupted her. “It’s just 300 million. We’ll get it back. It’s not like it’s difficult!”
“Get it back?” Eric sneered. “How are you going to get it back?”
Matthew replied, “Give me three days. I’ll get all of the money back!”
Eric frowned and asked, “Why should I give you time?”
Matthew ignored him and turned to the other shareholders. “Everyone, the reason you invested in our company is to make money, not fight with others. What good will it do if the Cunningham family is sent to jail and we lose 300 million? I promise you that I will get back the 300 million in three days. Not only that, the Cunningham family will be forking out an extra 100 million to add into this year’s dividend as compensation!”
The shareholders glanced at each other. In the end, they nodded at the same time and said, “Fine, we’ll give you one day!”
Hearing this, Eric was anxious. “How could you compromise? They should go to jail for this!”
However, everybody ignored him. After all, these people were just protecting their interests and had no hatred against Sasha. In the end, Eric and his family had no one’s support and they had no choice but to
give up protesting.
Later on, James and Helen were sent to the hospital. Sasha sat on the sofa and she was shivering in fear. At the end of the day, she was just a woman and she had never encountered situations like these before!
“Matthew, what are we supposed to do?” Sasha asked in a trembling voice. “300 million is a gigantic sum. How are we going to get back all that money?”
“Don’t worry, just leave it all to me!” Matthew gently patted Sasha’s head. “As long as I’m here, there’s nothing you have to be afraid of!”
Tears welled up in Sasha’s eyes because she was glad that Matthew was by her side at such a crucial time. However, the question was, could they really overcome such a big challenge?
