Chapter 750
Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
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. âT-Thereâs a swimming pool?â Minerva gasped. âOh my god, is that a real pool?â
Helen closed the gates and smiled. âYeah, this is the outdoor pool. Itâs always great to take a dip when the weatherâs sunny. Swimmingâs the best kind of sport, you know. This is my favorite place to swim.â
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, theyâd be surprised if the decor wasnât lavish. I mean, theyâre super rich.
Chloe and Jonah were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking as shocked as their children were. âI-Is this your home, Helen?â
Sasha quickly answered, âYes, but to be precise, itâs my husbandâs. 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.â She didnât want to show off, but she was already at her limit that night.
How dare you mock Matthew. Oh, you think heâs a loser, eh? Well, Iâll show you whoâs the real loser.
Chloe was shaken to her core. âWhat? This mansion belongs to your husband?â
She quickly looked at Helen, and Helen gave her an awkward smile. âYes, this mansion belongs to Matthew, but he wants us to live with him, so he took us in. And he even gave us the whole place, or he would have, until we stopped him.â
Chloe couldnât believe what she was hearing. âH-Heâs involved in investment projects? What kind of project is that?â
Demi scoffed. âInvestment project my foot. He only made money because heâs lucky. If he somehow lost the bet, he would have been dead by now.â
Upon hearing that, Sasha shot her a nasty look. âWell, look whoâs talking. If it werenât for Matthew, you would have been dead a hundred times over by now.â
âWhat did you say?â Demi growled.
âThe truth, thatâs what it is,â Sasha shot back. âIf it werenât for Matthew, you guys would have been kidnapped and killed. Donât tell me you forgot all about that. Matthewâs ears are still stitched, you know.â
Demi was infuriated, but she couldnât say anything to that, so she turned her head away. Sasha sneered, deciding to go on the offense tonight. Iâm not letting anyone insult Matthew anymore.
Then, Jonah started giving a lecture. âLuck is important when it comes to investments. Donât get too greedy, young man. You might have gotten lucky this time, but you might not be as lucky the next.â
Helen nodded. âYeah, Matthew. Jonah has been investing for many years overseas, and even he loses money sometimes.â
âTake it slow, young man. You canât afford to lose now, or youâll be paying a heavy price. One false step, and youâll be mired in bankruptcy. Iâm sure you donât want your family to suffer with you, right?â
Matthew simply nodded in response. âThanks for the tip.â
Jonah scoffed. He thought the Cunninghams only got rich thanks to a stroke of luck from Matthewâs successful investment. But this isnât a secure life, because thereâs no way that kid can get lucky every time.
Because of his prejudice, Jonah was looking down on the Cunninghams even more. He wasnât envious of their affluence, because he never liked opportunists, and Matthew was a prime example of that.
