With nearly 100 million dollars wired into his account, Zimmer Corporations should be able to get through this crisis safely.
"Does Theo know that you remitted this money to m e?" Matthew's voice became a little hoarse.
I pursed my lips. "He doesn't."
The company that Grandma transferred in my name had been developing well over the years
thanks to Theo’s reputation. The money remitted to m y account annually was quite substantial.
However, I had never touched the money inside the account. Hence, I had saved plenty over the years.
Now that Grant Corporation and Zimmer Corporations were both suffering a crisis, giving this money to Matthew was considered returning him the favor of saving my life back then.
There was a sneer from the other end of the phone. His voice was extremely indifferent. "You're so cruel, Wanda."
Cruel?
I disagreed. I had owed him this favor for four years and always felt quite uneasy about it. He did not lack anything before this, so I had no way of returning the favor. Now, both corporations were suffering a crisis, With Grant Corporation being much well off compared to Zimmer Corporations, Grant Corporation would be able to survive this crisis. It was just that they would have to suffer a little.
Though this was not necessarily the case with Zimmer Corporations. Before they were a listed company, Zimmer Corporations was a family business. Moreover, as Marcus Zimmer got older, he dared not aggressively expand the business. Hence, they had been in a state of stagnation all these years.
It was not until Matthew took over and the men fought it out that they were finally on par with each other.
Matthew used two years to push Zimmer Corporations into a listed company. Due to the short timeframe, even though Zimmer Corporations was able to gain small wins from several small disputes between them, Zimmer Corporations' risk of disintegrating overnight i n a real showdown between the two was no less than 7 0%.
Matthew was in dire need of this money, so I gave him enough to pay back his favor from back then.
After hanging up the phone, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief wash over me.
I could not sleep, and unsure of what to do, I switched on the TV. I planned to watch it for a while.
