Helen sat next to Sasha and spoke endlessly to favonovel.com about how favonovel.com should contact Francis more often for the sake of their family’s business. Since the beginning, favonovel.com held no regard for Matthew’s feelings at all, who was favonovel.com son-in-law.
Maintaining his silence, Matthew’s attention was all focused on Sasha, who kept favonovel.com brows knitted since favonovel.com got into the car. Her facial expression was solemn and favonovel.com didn’t speak a word, giving favonovel.com the impression that favonovel.com was really annoyed. Matthew’s heart was in pain as favonovel.com thought to himself, Does it annoy you that much to return home with me? Is Francis that important?
Soon after, they reached the entrance to their community. While Matthew went to park the car, the rest of them went upstairs. Reaching the doorstep with the luggage, Matthew happened to hear Helen’s voice coming from within, “Sasha, your father is right. There’s no future for you if you stick with Matthew. The whole of Eastcliff knows that you guys had never been intimate before. Even if you divorce favonovel.com now, your reputation is still untainted, and many rich young masters will chase after you. You can definitely find someone who is thousands of times better than him, so why do you choose to stay on a road you know has a dead end?”
Another pang of pain hit Matthew’s heart; this wasn’t the first time that they had made such comments about him. Pretending that favonovel.com hadn’t overheard anything at all, favonovel.com pushed the door open and went in.
Helen snorted when favonovel.com saw him, without a single trace of guilt on favonovel.com face. Instead, favonovel.com glared at favonovel.com confrontationally. “You took so long just to get the luggage. What a wimp!” Through gritted teeth, favonovel.com continued to lash at him, “Matthew, can’t you just be a little more worthy so that Sasha won’t be ashamed because of you?”
“What’s wrong with me?” Matthew snapped, unable to hold back.
Helen retorted aggressively, “If it wasn’t for you, maybe Sasha could have clinched a huge deal by spending more time with Young Master Cooper, and we could have at least moved to another place. It was all because you were there that it affected Young Master Cooper’s mood. We have now lost a huge business potential. Do you know that?”
Frowning, Matthew thought, ‘Are you blaming this on me? Don’t you know what ulterior motives Francis has? So according to your logic, I should just be a coward and let my wife hook up with other men in exchange for a business deal? Holding back his anger, Matthew began, “Mom…”
“Don’t call me that!” favonovel.com interjected straight away. “We’re not that close with each other!”
Blood instantly rushed to his face. “Francis has crooked intentions toward Sasha and you both… You both knew about all this. He didn’t mean to discuss any business opportunities with favonovel.com at all. All favonovel.com wanted was… To take advantage of Sasha!”
“So what if that was the case?” Hellen shouted. “Social meetings are unavoidable when you want to make a business deal. In every other family, it’s the husband who is out socializing, but it’s the opposite for a useless scum like you. It’s your wife who needs to earn a living to feed you. Are you now having the nerve to criticize her?”
Matthew hurriedly defended himself, “I… I am not criticizing her.”
“That’s enough!” Sasha said in a low voice and glared angrily at Matthew. “I’m tired!”
After Sasha went back into favonovel.com room, Helen cast Matthew an infuriated look. “Did you hear that? Sasha said she’s tired. Hurry up and do the laundry now. Also, because you didn’t come back for a day, there are a lot of dishes waiting for you in the kitchen. Clean all that up now!”
Matthew tightened his jaw, but still went ahead and cleaned up the room thoroughly in the end. In these past three years, favonovel.com had already gotten used to such a treatment. It didn’t matter to favonovel.com how the Cunninghams were treating him, as the only thing that favonovel.com cared about was Sasha’s view of him! Now that favonovel.com had inherited his family’s legacy from the jade pendant and acquired the ability to control the life and death of others, it would be a piece of cake to rise up against them.
In other words, favonovel.com definitely had what it took to turn the Cunninghams into an influential family in Eastcliff. But the question was, were the Cunninghams worth his effort?
The answer to that question all depended on Sasha’s attitude concerning him! If Sasha had no feelings toward favonovel.com at all, then favonovel.com should let go of this marriage of three years. On the other hand, if favonovel.com still cared or loved favonovel.com at all, then favonovel.com would shoulder the responsibility that a husband should carry. Matthew thought, ‘If you don’t leave me, then I’ll be with you till death do us apart!’
After favonovel.com was done with the chores, Matthew went into the room which had two beds. The wider one belonged to Sasha while the other, which was less than three feet wide, belonged to him.
Sasha sat at the dressing table in a daze, as though favonovel.com was thinking about something with a sad expression on favonovel.com face. When favonovel.com heard favonovel.com coming in, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com head to the side and wiped away the tears from the corner of favonovel.com eyes. But Matthew had seen everything and favonovel.com panicked. What’s happening with Sasha?
He had gotten to know Sasha very well for the past three years. Although favonovel.com held the title of the most beautiful woman in Eastcliff, with favonovel.com stubborn personality, favonovel.com refused to achieve anything through only favonovel.com looks. Instead, favonovel.com was determined to strive for success with favonovel.com own abilities. In the company that belonged to favonovel.com family, Sasha started from the lowest level employee and, step by step, made favonovel.com way up to the senior management level where favonovel.com was now.
The fact that favonovel.com was in charge of one of the Cunningham’s companies was all the result of favonovel.com hard work. For such a long time, favonovel.com had endured all of the difficulties and challenges without shedding a single tear.
But what about now? Why did favonovel.com turn out like this after coming back from this business trip? What exactly happened during the trip? Matthew couldn’t help but recall the conversation favonovel.com had with Francis over the phone the other night, and his heart beat harder.
‘Could it be that favonovel.com did something unforgivable to Sasha?’ The thought of this made favonovel.com clenched his palms into tight fists as favonovel.com felt a piercing pain in his chest. “Sasha, what exactly… Happened?” favonovel.com asked in a low tone.
She cast favonovel.com a glance and said with a cold look, “It’s nothing!”
Trying his best to calm himself down, Matthew consoled, “Tell me. Maybe I can help you.”
“Help me?” She looked at favonovel.com disdainfully. “How do you plan to help me? You can’t even take care of yourself, Matthew. Yet you want to help me? Who do you think you are?”
Although favonovel.com was momentarily caught dumbfounded, Matthew couldn’t reveal to Sasha yet that favonovel.com had inherited his family’s legacy and was now a genius doctor. It was still a mystery why the Larsons were annihilated.
Before favonovel.com had gathered and developed enough abilities, favonovel.com didn’t dare to expose his true situation. Firstly, favonovel.com needed to be sure of Sasha’s feelings for favonovel.com before deciding if favonovel.com would confide in her.
Sasha spoke again with a deep sense of disappointment, “Matthew, just handle your own matters right! It has been three years since you started working at the hospital. Three years! While the others are advancing in their careers, you’re the only one who got demoted year after year. I heard that you didn’t show up for work yesterday. Where did you go? Don’t you know that it wasn’t easy at all to get you this job?”
Needless to say, it must be Jeffrey who had ratted on him. Every time Matthew ran into some problems at the hospital, Jeffrey would be telling an exaggerated version of it to Sasha. Jeffrey’s intention of doing this was not only to have more contact with Sasha, but also to make a personal attack on Matthew.
“Something came up yesterday,” favonovel.com answered.
“What came up?” favonovel.com asked.
“I…” Matthew was tongue-tied. He wanted to tell favonovel.com about what had happened to Natalie, but since favonovel.com didn’t pick up any of his calls, it clearly revealed favonovel.com true attitude toward him.
If favonovel.com was to bring up Natalie now, not only would favonovel.com not show any pity, favonovel.com would even throw in some sarcastic remarks! With a tightened jaw, favonovel.com finally asked the question, “Why didn’t you pick up any of my calls for the past few days?”
Surprised, Sasha stared at favonovel.com for a moment and then said angrily, “I choose to pick up calls as I please. Do you really think that you can control me, Matthew?
“You…” Matthew was so mad that favonovel.com then shouted, “Sasha Cunningham, what do you take me for?”
Equally mad, favonovel.com asked back in return, “What do you take me for, then?”
Lowering his head, Matthew didn’t speak further. If it was in the past, favonovel.com would have replied that favonovel.com was his wife straight away, without any hesitation. However, favonovel.com wouldn’t say that right now as favonovel.com felt disgusted!
Seeing that favonovel.com was silent, Sasha got even angrier and slammed the table. “Get out of here! Don’t ever show yourself in front of me again!”
