Chapter 969 The Board of Directors Audits the Accounts
The next day, Liam brought James and Helen to the bank and transferred the one billion into James' account.
At that time, James was so excited to see the large sum of money in his bank account that he became
incoherent. It was only a few months ago that he was still a poor man that lived in a shabby old house. Now, he
lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, wore watches worth millions of dollars, and had more than one billion in his
bank account. It was like a dream.
"Work hard, Liam. I'm counting on you! When this project's over, I'm going to get us a new deal to make more
money!" James bubbled excitedly.
James waved his hand. "It's alright. Let's just go to the construction site. Nothing's been happening at the
pharmacy recently anyway. Your mom and | would like to take a look at the construction site. After all, it's our
family business."

At that moment, a hopeful expression was pasted on Helen's face, indicating that she wanted to check out the
construction site too.
Seeing so, Liam brought them to the construction site at once.
As soon as they reached the construction site, they realized that the place was in chaos, and a group of people
was arguing inside.
"What's going on?" James furrowed his brows.
Liam drove toward that direction and snapped, "What are you guys doing?"
Immediately, the crowd dispersed. Then, a man ran over hurriedly. "Mr. Wayne, we've got trouble! It's the people
from the board of directors. They want to audit our accounts!"
In response, Liam's face darkened instantaneously, whereas James widened his eyes in disbelief. Did Matthew
really ask the board of directors to check the accounts?
"Go take a look at what's going on," James instructed in a deep voice. At the stime, he looked at Helen and
signaled her to call Matthew.
After that, Matthew and James headed to the scene and saw Jefford and a few other people. They were
shareholders of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals who joined the Six Southern States Medical Conference with
Matthew and made a lot of money. All of them invested in and owned shares in the current villa project.
"What are you doing, Jefford?" James fumed.
A few of them ran over after seeing James. "You cat the right time, James! Quickly ask your son-in-law to
bring us the accounts. We're auditing them."
This filled Jason with anxiety as they were the company's shareholders, and there was no way for him to deal
with them.
Just then, Helen cout and waved at him, telling him that Matthew did not know about this.

Confidently, he scolded, "Stop fooling around! How can you just simply say that you'd like to check the
company's accounts? You need the board of directors’ permission; it can't be accomplished just because you
have a few people making noise here! Have you gotten the board's approval?"
Matthew's the company's director, so if they want the board of directors’ approval, they would need his as well.
However, since he doesn't know about this, it means that they do not have the board's permission. Hence, |
could just ignore their request to audit the accounts.
"What do you mean by getting the board of directors' approval?" Jefford exploded. "Stop talking nonsense! These
villas' renovation has only been going on for a few days, and yet it has already cost around 8 billion! If this were
to go on, the cost could go up to 30 billion when the renovations’ done! How could the renovation cost be several
times higher than the cost of the villas? There's obviously something wrong with the accounts. Don't you think
so?"
Upon hearing this, James replied, "These are only your assumptions, and they can't prove anything. Besides, our
villas are advertised as being located in a high-end residential area, and the renovation is costly, so it's normal. It
would do us no good if we lower our costs. Who would think of it as a high-end residential area if word gets out?
You're only causing harm to the company's reputation by making a fool of yourself here. Are you going to take
responsibility if this property doesn't sell?"
