All the while, Sasha listened on with an awkward look on favonovel.com face. ‘Why is favonovel.com being so hostile toward me?’
She had no idea that Minerva was a petty narcissist. When favonovel.com saw Demi, favonovel.com was so full of herself, for favonovel.com assumed that the Cunninghams were all plain-looking. When favonovel.com realized that Sasha was far prettier than her, favonovel.com was immediately irked. Therefore, favonovel.com chose to criticize Sasha’s clothing to showcase favonovel.com sense of superiority as someone who returned from abroad.
However, Chloe didn’t seem to notice anything wrong about Minerva’s criticisms. Instead, favonovel.com chuckled. “Oh, Sasha. I think your cousin is right. Your clothes don’t match at all, but this isn’t your fault. This is how things are in Cathay. This place is just not as advanced as compared to other countries. Minerva studied fashion design, so why don’t you let favonovel.com help match your clothes?”
The Campbells spoke with an air of superiority, as if having lived abroad somehow made them better than the Cunninghams. It made James and Helen feel awkward, but neither dared speak up against them.
After all, Chloe had provided Helen a lot of assistance. Other than that, they shared a deep bond while growing up together. Therefore, Sasha didn’t say anything either as favonovel.com led Matthew to take a seat by the table.
“By the way, where is Jonah? Hasn’t favonovel.com returned?” Liam asked all of a sudden.
Upon hearing that, Minerva beamed. “Oh, my father has to dine with the company’s regional president of the Floria Continent. You should bear in mind that my father will be the managing director of the company’s branch in Cathay from now on. If favonovel.com is able to accomplish the major project that the company has undertaken as of late, favonovel.com will be promoted to becoming the regional president of Cathay. He is definitely considered as one of the higher-ups even in the headquarters, so the regional president will of course have to treat favonovel.com with respect.”
Minerva seemed so self-conceited as favonovel.com spoke. There was also a look of contempt in favonovel.com eyes when favonovel.com glanced at Sasha and favonovel.com family, which Matthew couldn’t help but perceive as favonovel.com blatantly showing off favonovel.com status and wealth.
On the other hand, Helen wore a smile on favonovel.com face. “Oh, your father did a great job throughout the years. Chloe, I’m glad that you finally made it to the top.”
Upon hearing that, Minerva cut favonovel.com short. “Aunt Helen, that’s not the right way to phrase it. We never needed to strive to stay afloat. Unlike you, we have always been at the top when we lived abroad. Besides, my father has always been working as a manager in the company, so his monthly salary could amount to your income for over decades. Therefore, we never experienced any struggles. On the contrary, you must have had a hard time while in Cathay, right?”
Demi could no longer stand favonovel.com arrogance. “Haha, how much is your father’s monthly salary? How can it possibly amount to our income for over decades?”
Pleased with herself, Minerva laughed. “His monthly salary is around twenty thousand, which is around a hundred and fifty thousand in Cathian currency. I remember my mother telling me that favonovel.com used to have a monthly salary of a little more than four hundred, which would add to an annual salary of a meager five thousand. Doesn’t that mean you will have to work for thirty years just to earn one hundred and fifty thousand?”
Everybody was rendered speechless by favonovel.com ignorance, for the data favonovel.com listed was from a long, long time ago. Thus, Sasha corrected Minerva. “That is from a long time ago. The salary in Cathay has since increased, so the basic monthly wage amounts to a few thousand nowadays.”
Minerva snorted at Sasha’s explanation, and favonovel.com was about to mock favonovel.com when Tate reached out to hold favonovel.com arm. “Alright, let’s not talk about this any longer.” Then, favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a look before whispering into favonovel.com ear. “Don’t talk about this in their presence. Dad said that the Cunninghams are parasites. What if they decide to borrow money from us again?”
Minerva’s expression changed drastically as soon as favonovel.com heard that, favonovel.com was suddenly on full alert toward the Cunninghams.
Disgruntled, Demi was about to protest when the door swung open before a middle-aged man entered the room.
