Salute to the General novel Chapter 187

The Smiths' face fell upon hearing the figure. They were the major shareholders, and if Cross Corporation were to lose over a billion, it would mean that they were losing millions each.

Samuel added impassively, Tve heard that the Channing Emergency Response Unit has set up an investigation team to probe into the root cause of the accident.

"If the root cause lies in the management of the Cross Corporation, then you'll have to bear the most responsibility."

Penny nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Paul also added, "What's more, I've heard that after the incident, the city council apparently thinks that Cross Corporation is not competent enough to handle the Asiatic Mall construction. Are they really considering to let other companies handle this project?”

Penny widened her eyes upon hearing the news, and shook her head, "This is just a rumor. At least, I haven't heard anything from the city council."

Sean then snorted, "Penny, you've caused a big ruckus this time. Not only is the company losing big bucks, but you're also even going to cause the company to lose our cash cow.”

"Your uncles and I are innocent in this matter. We don't want to pay for your mistake!"

Penny furrowed her brows, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Sean's face was expressionless, "Nothing. It's just that we think you should be responsible for your own mistake this time. We want to let go of our shares on hand, and for you to return our nine million capital to us."

Penny was astounded, "What? You guys asked to be shareholders in the first place. Now that we've made losses, you guys are not willing to bear the losses together, and even want to get the capital back in full?"

Sean then replied, "Yes. We're going to give the shares back to you while you're going to give us the capital in full, not a single

cent less."

Benson and Leah were incensed at their remark.

They were trampling over Penny.

This construction site accident was quite serious; it would be a huge loss to the company.

If they were going to pull out at this moment, then the company's cash flow would be in a dire condition.

Penny hurriedly added, "Grandpa, you guys really shouldn't do this. Even if we bring this to the court, you guys would be at a disadvantage."
