The siblings went inside, but they were still in too much of a shock.
A moment later, they saw the swimming pool in the yard. “T-There’s a swimming pool?” Minerva gasped. “Oh my god, is that a real pool?”
Helen closed the gates and smiled. “Yeah, this is the outdoor pool. It’s always great to take a dip when the weather’s sunny. Swimming’s the best kind of sport, you know. This is my favorite place to swim.”
The Campbell siblings were already numb from the non-stop surprises, but the pool still shocked them nonetheless. A mansion with a pool is rare even in foreign countries. Only the richest of the rich can afford it!
They came into the mansion, dazed. Even though the interior decorations were lavish, they were already numb to it. After seeing the pool outside, they could accept everything in the mansion, no matter how extravagant it was. In fact, they’d be surprised if the decoration wasn’t lavish. I mean, they’re super rich.
Chloe and Jonah were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking as shocked as their children were. “I-Is this your home, Helen?”
Sasha quickly answered, “Yes, but to be precise, it’s my husband’s. My husband got involved with some investment projects and earned a few hundred million. The partners pooled their money and bought this mansion for him.” She didn’t want to show off, but favonovel.com was already at favonovel.com limit that night. ‘How dare you mock Matthew. Oh, you think he’s a loser, eh? Well, I’ll show you who’s the real loser.’
Chloe was shaken to favonovel.com core. “What? This mansion belongs to your husband?”
She quickly looked at Helen, and Helen gave favonovel.com an awkward smile. “Yes, this mansion belongs to Matthew, but favonovel.com wants us to live with him, so favonovel.com took us in. And favonovel.com even gave us the whole place, or favonovel.com would have, until we stopped him.”
Chloe couldn’t believe what favonovel.com was hearing. “H-He’s involved in investment projects? What kind of project is that?”
Demi scoffed. “Investment project my foot. He only made money because he’s lucky. If favonovel.com somehow lost the bet, favonovel.com would have been dead by now.”
Upon hearing that, Sasha shot favonovel.com a nasty look. “Well, look who’s talking. If it weren’t for Matthew, you would have been dead a hundred times over by now.”
“What did you say?” Demi growled.
“The truth, that’s what it is,” Sasha shot back. “If it weren’t for Matthew, you guys would have been kidnapped and killed. Don’t tell me you forgot all about that. Liam’s ears are still stitched, you know.”
Demi was infuriated, but favonovel.com couldn’t say anything to that, so favonovel.com turned favonovel.com head away. Sasha sneered, deciding to go on the offense tonight. ‘I’m not letting anyone insult Matthew anymore.’
Then, Jonah started giving a lecture. “Luck is important when it comes to investments. Don’t get too greedy, young man. You might have gotten lucky this time, but you might not be as lucky the next.”
Helen nodded. “Yeah, Matthew. Jonah has been investing for many years overseas, and even favonovel.com loses money sometimes.”
“Take it slow, young man. You can’t afford to lose now, or you’ll be paying a heavy price. One false step, and you’ll be mired in bankruptcy. I’m sure you don’t want your family to suffer with you, right?”
Matthew simply nodded in response. “Thanks for the tip.”
Jonah scoffed. He thought the Cunninghams only got rich thanks to a stroke of luck from Matthew’s successful investment. But this isn’t a secure life, because there’s no way that kid can get lucky every time.
Because of his prejudice, Jonah was looking down on the Cunninghams even more. He wasn’t envious of their affluence, because favonovel.com never liked opportunists, and Matthew was a prime example of that.
