Chapter 626: Chapter 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.

Facing the gaze of Yannis Griffith and Cherish Turner, Daniel Peacock’s smile remained calm, only appearing crueler.

Just then, one of the subordinates hurried in, carrying several faxed documents in hand.

Old Lee slowly took the documents and looked at them in astonishment.

These ten faxed documents were from the boards of the top ten global banks, including CitiGroup, UBS, and Credit Suisse. They all sent faxes to guarantee William Griffith. Old Lee was shocked and handed the documents to the other two shareholders, who were equally stunned, speechless.

"Yannis, take a look at this," Old Quid handed him the documents. Yannis took them.

Seeing the odd expression on the three faces, Daniel Peacock naturally knew that something had happened. However, he couldn’t comprehend the content of the faxes. How could this be?

Yes, Daniel admitted that William was indeed a prodigy in the financial world, with a keen insight into finance since birth. But they had been together for many years, and Daniel knew his background. No matter how skilled William was, he could not have such a good relationship with competitors in the industry. Perhaps there was an unknown side to all this.

"I suggest we agree to temporarily withdraw the civil lawsuit for a period of one month. Of course, we also believe that the police will thoroughly investigate and not allow the true perpetrators to escape justice. Whoever is behind this will repay the money!" Old Lee declared gravely, looking up at Daniel Peacock, "President Peacock, you have no objections, do you?"

With the shareholders taking a stance, Daniel Peacock, who was initially opposed, had no choice but to quietly acquiesce. However, he appeared to have everything planned, not showing any urgency.

After the meeting, everyone left one after the other.

Daniel Peacock followed the three directors, while Cherish Turner rushed to catch up to talk to him. Since the incident, they hadn’t really spoken, and she had been busy trying to figure out how to bail William out. Now that the civil lawsuit was withdrawn, she finally felt relieved, but she soon faced another dilemma.

"Daniel..." Cherish Turner was about to speak when Yannis Griffith forcefully stopped her. She turned around in confusion, only to hear Yannis say, "You guys leave first!"

The subordinates picked up the files and left, but Yannis still didn’t let go. He looked at her and said, "Cherish, you should know, even if the civil lawsuit is withdrawn, the police will not let this go. Either my brother or Daniel Peacock is going to jail. There’s no other way."
