Chapter 299
James and Helen quickly rose to their feet. There was a need for them to maintain their image in front of the rest
of the Cunninghams because they had once been badly bullied by them. James chided through gritted teeth,
"Charlie Cunningham, what are you doing here? Where're the security officers? Aren't you guys prohibited from
coming here without our permission?" Eric stepped forward from somewhere behind Charlie and scoffed, "James,
| see you've developed a temper since we last met each other several days ago!
Are you the king father of this company because your daughter is the president? How dare you meddle with the
company's development without first reflecting on your own capabilities?" Eric jeered, "Ha, she has no say in this
because today, I'm not here alone. All the shareholders of the company are here. Are you going to chase them
all out of the company?"
Looking alarmed, it was only then did James notice there was a crowd standing outside the door and they were
made up of the shareholders of the company.
How did Eric manage to summon all the shareholders here? What exactly was he trying to do? At that juncture,

"President Cunningham, | was told that our company is facing ssort of problem at the moment. Many of our
customers demanded to cancel their orders and even the contract which was worth 3 billion that we got some
tago was terminated.
Despite the crisis, you still decided to put up all the shares of our company as collateral for a loan of 200 million
from the bank to invest in sshady project. Is that true?" one of the shareholders questioned in a grim voice.
James looked despondent all at once. Things were going to get more complicated as the shareholders were now
aware of the investment.
Demi shot a contemptuous glance at Sasha and whispered to her, "I told you to withdraw that investment but
you refused to listen. Look at what you've gotten yourself into! I'm looking forward to seeing how you will handle
this!"
Helen then said quickly, "Nothing of that sort happened! Ladies and gentlemen, you guys must have gotten the
wrong idea. The company is going in the right direction and everything is running smoothly..."
Lily snorted at her and cut her off by yelling, "Shut up, you old hag! | can't believe you have the face to say that
the company is going in the right direction.
Do you think all the shareholders are blind or dumb enough to believe you? Do you dare to let them have a look
at the accounts and balance sheets of the company?"
Helen was left stumped at once.
Lily then cast Sasha a sideways glance and challenged, "What's the problem? Do you have the guts to do
something but aren't brave enough to admit doing it? Sasha, aren't you very talented? Con, tell all the
shareholders how you've been running the company.
Hmph, do you think you're superior to everyone else just because you somehow managed to get the deal that
was worth three billion with your good looks?
Letremind you that using your body to exchange for contracts isn't going to work in the long term because
being competent is the only way to survive in this harsh real world! Without competency, men will be sick of
your looks one day no matter how beautiful you are!"

Many of the shareholders burst out laughing and their eyes were brimming with malice when they stared at
Sasha.
Sasha, whose face reddened in embarrassment, rebuked through gritted teeth, "Lily Cunningham, you'd better
watch your words! | fought for all the contracts with my own ability.
And yes, the company is having sissues right now but I'm trying hard to settle them. Also, | believe | can
steer the company out of this predicament!"
Charlie sneered, "Sasha, I'm really impressed by how good you are at bragging. Can you tellhow you are
going to solve the issue?
Also, | want you to explain to all of us here about the purpose of the 200 million loan that you took by putting up
our shares as collateral.
Don't tellit's for an investment because we're not dumb! It's obvious to us what you're trying to do. You're
going to seize all the cash and run away because you know the company is going to be done for, aren't you?!"
