Unwilling to bear the debt, Liam lowered his head and argued, “E-Even so, I shouldn’t take on the debtalone. How could I afford to pay back such a huge sum of money?”

Helen suddenly jumped to her feet before pouncing on Liam and clawing him. “It was you who proposedinvesting in this development project and promised us that the investment was sure to make money! Itwas also you who transferred the money! Who else do you want to shift the debt to if you don’t want totake on the debt yourself? Give the 300 million back to me! Give the 300 million back to me…”

Stretching out her hands, Helen scratched Liam’s face hysterically.

Lian hurriedly covered his face and dodged Helen.

Demi stopped her mother. “Mom, d-don’t get so worked up. What’s the use of you doing so? Can’t wediscuss the matter amicably?”

Helen snarled, “How should we discuss? What else should we discuss now that the 300 million is gonejust like that? This matter will never be over if you don’t get the money back!”

Demi was irked. “Mom, what do you mean by saying that? Why should we be the ones who demand themoney back? Are you putting all the blame on Liam for this? Don’t forget that we had made it clear backwhen we invested the money. If the investment makes money, you two will get 70 percent of the profit,whereas we’ll get only 30 percent. Now that we’ve lost the money we had invested, why should we takeall the responsibility? Even if we really have to state who should bear how much responsibility, y-you twoshould bear 70 percent of the debt!”

Helen was stunned at once. Staring at Demi in disbelief, she asked, “W-What did you say?”

Unwilling to show the white feather, Demi shouted, “Was I wrong to say so? All investments are risky, sonobody can guarantee that an investment is sure to make money! Since you two wanted to get a bigger

share of the profit, y-you two should take on a bigger share of the risks! Now that the investment hasgone wrong, y-you two should assume a bigger responsibility!”

James trembled with rage. Pointing at Demi, he thundered, “W-What an unfilial daughter you are! Howcould you say such a thing? How could you want me and your Mom to take on the responsibility? Do youwant both of us to go to prison?”

Demi went red in the face. “H-How could it be such a big deal? All we did was lose a little money. Ifworse comes to worst, w-we’ll just make the money back. Why would we go to prison for this?”

Helen screamed, “We just lost a little money? We lost a total of 300 million! C-Can you make so muchmoney in your entire life?”

Demi wanted to refute her, but Liam quietly stopped her from doing so. He said, “Dad, Mom, I know thatyou two are angry, but please don’t get worked up first. None of us had expected our investment thistime to end up like this; I didn’t want this to happen too. We weren’t defrauded by anyone this time;Young Master Lach really is the Lach Family’s heir, and the development project of the villa area is true.Nobody could have predicted that such a thing would happen to the Lach Family. Let me put it this way:we would have made a lot of money from this time’s investment if Young Master Lach’s father didn’t dieand instead won the power struggle within the family. Investments are certainly risky; there can’t possiblybe a perfectly safe investment. We can’t blame our investment this time on anyone; instead, we can onlyblame it on our bad luck. In my opinion, we’d better think of a way to solve this problem instead ofaccusing each other here.”

James and Helen exchanged glances. Both of them were furious, but they had to admit that Liam wasright.

Helen asked angrily, “Then how do you think we should solve this problem? Do you have a way torecover the 300 million?”

Liam answered in a grim tone, “Now that things have come to this point, it’s certainly impossible torecover the 300 million. The only question right now is who should bear the responsibility for this matter.”

Helen glowered at him, saying, “Who else do you think should bear the responsibility? You should bear it,of course! This matter is the result of your doing, so who else do you want to shift the responsibility to?

Liam answered softly, “Perhaps Matthew is more suitable for bearing the responsibility than I am.”
