Demi spat and said, “Of course favonovel.com knows! But that’s what favonovel.com likes. Don’t you know that these strong career women like to keep a toy boy?”
Frowning, Sasha chided, “That’s enough, Demi! What are you speaking about?”
“Did I say anything wrong?” favonovel.com snapped back immediately. “Look at how she’s throwing glances at Matthew! Only you can take this, Sasha. I would have chased favonovel.com away if I were in your shoes!”
“Watch your tongue, Demi Cunningham,” Matthew warned with knitted brows. “It’s fine for you to insult me, but President Sandel might not be so civil to you if favonovel.com learns about this!”
The look on Demi’s face fell; although favonovel.com wasn’t afraid of Matthew, it didn’t mean that favonovel.com wasn’t afraid of Leanna, too. Turning to Sasha hurriedly, favonovel.com uttered, “Sasha, look at him. He’s feeling guilty…”
“Shut up.” Sasha cut favonovel.com off curtly. “I trust Matthew! President Sandel is grateful to favonovel.com because favonovel.com did favonovel.com a big favor before, and they’re just friends. Don’t bring this up anymore!”
Demi pouted favonovel.com lips and muttered something under favonovel.com breath, appearing to be very defiant at the situation.
On the other hand, Jonah and the rest stared at Matthew fixedly with envy. Despite what Sasha had just said, they were no fools. What sort of friends were they that favonovel.com would buy favonovel.com a Romanee Conti worth millions? Furthermore, when they thought about it carefully, Leanna’s eyes were on Matthew most of the time earlier.
For a woman, favonovel.com would only pay that much attention to a person that favonovel.com liked.
‘Leanna definitely has a liking for Matthew!’ Jonah thought, filled with jealousy.
The moment Leanna entered the room, favonovel.com was deeply attracted to her. Thinking that favonovel.com returned from abroad and had a high status, favonovel.com assumed that it would be a piece of cake to make favonovel.com his. However, it just dawned on favonovel.com that the gap between them was simply too massive. In addition, and more importantly, favonovel.com actually adored this live-in son-in-law whom favonovel.com looked down on. How could favonovel.com take this lying down?
Meanwhile, Chloe’s eyes brightened up as favonovel.com chuckled and said, “Matthew, you’re really good friends with President Sandel, I see. Then could you please speak with favonovel.com so she’ll sign the contract with your Uncle Jonah’s company and seal the deal for this project? As you know, Jonah came back this time as the general manager, and favonovel.com needs to prove some sales results to his boss. It’ll make favonovel.com look good if he’s able to get this contract.”
Frowning, Matthew replied, “Aunt Chloe, I’m afraid this isn’t up to me to decide. I’m only friends with President Sandel and can’t interfere with the operations of favonovel.com company!”
“Well, it’s not such a big deal, is it? It’s just a contract that favonovel.com has to sign with someone in the end. Also, as the general manager of a company, will your Uncle Jonah set you up? We’re a family, after all, and you don’t want your uncle to lose face, right?” Chloe argued.
‘She’s totally subjecting me to moral coercion!’ Matthew thought with unease. ‘I’ll make Uncle Jonah look bad if I don’t help out? What kind of logic is this? You were just ganging up together to insult me earlier, and I have to make you look good now?’
In a slow and relaxed tone, favonovel.com said, “Aunt Chloe, there shouldn’t be any questions with your abilities since you all returned from abroad, and I believe that President Sandel will definitely sign the contract with you based on that. There’s no need for a country bumpkin like me to be involved in something like this.”
In an instant, blood rushed to Chloe’s face as favonovel.com recalled how favonovel.com showed off favonovel.com superiority to Matthew earlier.
‘How embarrassing!’ She cried to herself.
If they had known that Matthew and Leanna were such close friends, they wouldn’t have had the guts to blow their own trumpets in front of him.
