Chapter 385

Eric’s voice was so loud that even Helen, who was standing beside James, heard everything he said, causing her to be completely stunned. At the moment, the two of them didn’t even care that Eric was angry.

After James hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked, “Matthew, do you really know Dr. Ellis? Did Eastcliff win the competition because of Dr. Ellis?”

Matthew had no choice but to nod. After all, he couldn’t tell them that he was the one who won. Only people who attended the conference knew what really happened at the competition.

Moreover, Matthew already asked Dr. Ellis to urge the participants to not spread word about him, so not many people knew about his medical abilities. Meanwhile, Sasha was ecstatic as she finally believed that Matthew won.

“That’s great! Matthew, I knew that you would succeed!”

However, Helen was furious. “Matthew, how could you do this? You knew that you would win but you didn’t tell us so we withdrew all our investments. If Cunningham Pharmaceuticals had invested 200 million, we would have gotten at least a billion. Those are all money! Our money! Matthew, what have you done?”

Matthew instantly frowned. Doesn’t Helen feel ashamed?

“Helen, I did ask you to invest in us at that time. It was you who withdrew the investment!” Matthew replied calmly.

Helen angrily roared, “We withdrew the investment because we thought that you wouldn’t win. Since you already knew you would win, why didn’t you stop us?”

Hearing this, Sasha was annoyed. “Who said that we didn’t stop you? Don’t you remember that you threatened me with death so that I would withdraw the investment? What right do you have to blame Matthew now?”

All of a sudden, Helen was at a loss for words, but she quickly recovered and furiously said, “At that time, I indeed asked you to withdraw the investment but that was because I didn’t know who would win!

Matthew, y-you are so cruel. You knew that you would win but why didn’t you tell us?

If only you told us that Dr. Ellis was helping you, we wouldn’t have withdrawn the investments. You purposely didn’t tell us because you want us to suffer, right?”

Matthew was speechless. Helen really can think of a million ways to put this on me.

However, Sasha spoke up and said, “Mom, you can’t blame Matthew for this. How could he tell you in that situation? Was he supposed to tell you that Dr. Ellis would help him?

Besides, Eastshire hired Leonard so it was not certain whether Dr. Ellis could win! Secondly, if outsiders heard about the news, they might’ve gone against Matthew. Wouldn’t that have brought trouble upon him?”

Helen anxiously replied, “Am I an outsider? We are a family. Why can’t he let us know?”

Pouting her lips, Sasha replied, “Mom, I think Matthew did the right thing. This was a matter of great importance. Matthew did the right thing by not simply disclosing information. Once the news is leaked, it’ll affect tens of billions of funds. Who can afford that?

Furthermore, at that time, Matthew begged you to invest in his plan but you didn’t trust him. Who else can you blame other than yourself?

Mr. Jefford and the others believed in Matthew and took a huge risk to invest in him so they deserve to have the rewards they earned. You said that you’re Matthew’s family but you don’t even trust him. It’s your own fault that you didn’t make this money!”

Helen shivered in anger. “How could you say that? Why are you siding him instead of your own parents?!”

Sasha replied, “I’m just stating the facts. Am I wrong? Shouldn’t we be reasonable?”

Helen was so infuriated, she couldn’t speak.

Just then, James suddenly yelled in horror, “Wait a minute. Matthew, how did you win? Didn’t Sasha call you and tell you that you were not allowed to get onstage?

Travis is keeping Demi hostage. They threatened us and told us that they will kill Demi if you make a move, but you asked Dr. Ellis to treat the patients and even won the competition. What’s going to happen to Demi?”

As soon as Helen heard this, she fell to the ground and started wailing. “Demi, my baby Demi!

Matthew, you devil! You killed my daughter!”
