Chapter 626 - 601: Her Husband?
Cherish Turner’s 1.5 billion capital injection undoubtedly gave the board members a much-needed reassurance. Even if the Wood Family withdrew their investment, Griffith would have no reason to worry. At the same time, news came from Canada that the president of Seashore Corporation had secured sponsorship from a business partner, and the company was back on track. Projects that had been at a loss continued to operate with the influx of funds. Persuaded by Yannis Griffith, the board members, represented by Old Lee, agreed to withdraw the civil lawsuit temporarily, on the condition that the huge amount of money taken from Griffith must be replaced without any discrepancy.
However, this huge amount of money had become a crucial issue.
If the Griffith Family were to fill the gap secretly, they would be admitting that they had been undermining their own interests.
If they did not take the money, the board would not let the matter rest.
At the moment, they were holding a temporary meeting in the conference hall.
But before the meeting began, Daniel Peacock and his subordinates barged in, disrupting the originally calm discussion. The atmosphere suddenly became much tenser.
Yannis Griffith remained calm.
"President Peacock, your arrival is timely. We’ve all agreed to temporarily withdraw the civil lawsuit. What are your thoughts?"
"I believe everyone knows that the police require evidence before they convict someone. And as long as one has not committed any wrongdoing, there is nothing to fear from a thorough investigation. I trust that President Griffith would not engage in such activities, so there’s no need to withdraw the lawsuit! Leaving everything to the police is the wisest choice!"
Old Quid hesitated and agreed, "Yannis is right. As long as William hasn’t done anything wrong, there’s no worry about a thorough investigation. Withdrawing the lawsuit now would be of no benefit to President Griffith or the Griffith Family. On the contrary, it will leave lingering problems. We must eradicate the malignant tumor within the company!"
The other two shareholders echoed their agreement.
"If today’s meeting is about the civil lawsuit issue, then the problem is now resolved and the meeting can be adjourned," Daniel Peacock said with a smile. His handsome face looked chillier than before, and his demeanor was increasingly untamed and arrogant. He was becoming a ruthless character who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
