Chapter: 5163
It's precisely because of this that Matthew Peterson started to engage in money laundering, taking away the $500 million without distributing it. He claimed it was for investment, but in reality, he used it to wash his hands, losing at least $3 billion to put it into his own pocket, compared to giving all shareholders their share.
Large corporations usually have a large number of acquisition and merger cases every year, and no one can guarantee that each deal will make a profit. Some projects may even lose money.
Matthew Peterson based this plan on this point and single-handedly planned the acquisition.
But he never thought that Amy Lee, who was always obedient to him and had some slave-like quality, would actually hold so many evidence files and say it out loud in front of Mei Ke Xin's face.
As a result, taking away $500 million is equivalent to directly taking away money that should have been distributed to the Fee family. Mei Ke Xin could take over as the head of the Fee family. How could he not get punished for this?
Moreover, Amy Lee exposed her own dark secrets with Mei Ke Xin's stepdaughter. Once this matter is reported to the FBI, she will definitely be thoroughly exposed!
As soon as Matthew Peterson thought about it, he almost immediately made up his mind to make amends with Mei Ke Xin.
So, he looked at Mei Ke Xin and pleaded: "Miss Fee, as long as you're willing to let me off the hook, I'm willing to transfer all my shares to the Fee family at a discounted price of 5 times the market value. Not only will this help the Fee family gain a profit of several billion dollars, but it will also strengthen their control over the entire company, which far exceeds my losses for the Fee family's sake...''
Mei Ke Xin smiled slightly: "Do you think I'll look at your few billion dollars? For the Fee family, reputation is much more important than money. If the Fee family were to forgive me like this just because of a few billion dollars, it would be equivalent to killing their son-for-nothing!"
Matthew Peterson's heart suddenly made a clicking sound.
He was reminded of the previous scandalous event involving Mei Ke Xin's stepson.
The Fee family had paid out tens of billions of dollars in compensation to the victims' families and other parties affected by Mei Ke Xin's stepson's actions.
Mei Ke Xin finally managed to gather her strength and help the Fee family regain its reputation. In such a situation, how could she possibly forgive him just because he was willing to give up his shares?
Thinking about this, Matthew Peterson realized the gravity of the situation and thought to himself: "I should get out of here as soon as possible! The sooner the better!"
Having made up his mind, Matthew Peterson slowly stood up, looking regretful and saying: "Please Miss Fee, don't worry. I'll go turn myself in to the authorities tonight. I won't escape responsibility!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew Peterson took advantage of Mei Ke Xin's momentary distraction and turned around to make a run for it.
His driver was waiting outside, his private plane was at the airport, and if he could just get out of this reception hall, he could be at the airport within half an hour.
As long as he could get on the plane, he would definitely be able to leave the US tonight, as long as he left the US, he could preserve most of his assets while keeping his personal freedom.
If he couldn't make it onto the plane, then both his assets and freedom might be lost!
Matthew Peterson suddenly felt a surge of adrenaline wanting to escape, but Mei Ke Xin didn't react at first, just when Matthew Peterson thought he was certain to escape with his life, he suddenly felt his whole body freeze in place, unable to move.
He subconsciously turned around to look, only to find that it was actually Ye Chen who had grabbed onto his collar.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Peterson, so you're in such a hurry to go where?"
Matthew Peterson hastily put on a calm tone and said, "Mr. Ye, I just said I'm going to turn myself in to the authorities..."
Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "It's good that you're willing to surrender, but there's no need for you to do it personally, and as a member of society, your crime is usually handled by the FBI directly, so why don't Mei Miss Fee just contact the FBI to come here and take care of it?"
As soon as Matthew Peterson heard these words, his whole body went limp with shock, he struggled fiercely trying to wriggle free from Ye Chen's grasp but was unable to move. JrNovels.com
