Chapter 795

Meanwhile, James almost jolted in shock as well.

What a serious problem it was—it would need a million at least.

And yet, you’re only contributing 20,000? How’s that fair? You’re not being sincere at all!

Even though we’re supposed to top up the remaining amount, what you’re doing is no different from not contributing at all—it seems like my family is paying the full amount!

Sure enough, the Cunninghams now had a completely new understanding of the Campbells from this incident—they were truly shameless on a whole new level that was beyond their imagination.

However, Chloe said in resignation, “It’s not that I’m not willing to pay more, Sasha—we really can’t afford it.”

“We just bought a house, and we’ve spent all our money on it. We also bought a lot of things after returning home this time, so that’s another huge sum. This 20,000 is all we have left in our savings. If we give it to you, w-we don’t even know if we’ll be able to survive this month!”

Sasha was overwhelmed by her sudden pleading. This isn’t a reality show, so what’s the point of acting so miserable? Your children are swiping credit cards and living luxuriously every single day, and it doesn’t seem like you’re short on money at all.

“Whatever it is, t-this amount is still too little, Aunt Chloe!” Sasha replied in resignation.

Minerva chimed in and added hastily, “Do you think we’d be doing this if we really had the money, Sasha?”

“W-We really don’t have any…”

“Aunt Helen, you wouldn’t want to see us begging on the streets, right?”

Upon hearing that, Helen quickly said, “Don’t worry, sweetie. I’m here. Come on, Sasha.” She sighed and continued, “Can’t you save me some trouble for once? You have such a huge company—it’s worth at least more than a billion. How hard is it to fork out a million? Besides, Matthew’s construction company and its subsidiary, Wellness Herbary, are worth a lot of money too. Isn’t it just a million? Why are you being so fussy about it?”

Sasha immediately turned to her mother and said, “T-This isn’t about the money, Mom. It’s about the attitude!”

Helen responded angrily, “You’re right. It’s an attitude problem—your attitude is absolutely rotten! Look at how you’re treating your aunt and cousins! I’m telling you this—you’ve gone too far this time!”

Sasha’s head started spinning, but she couldn’t say anything in return. She could only wave her hand dismissively to calm her mother’s frustration. “Sure sure, whatever you say. All right, I’ll cover the entire amount. Keep the 20,000 to yourself too. I hope you’re happy now!”

Chloe finally put on a broad grin. “Thank you so much, Sasha. I knew I wasn’t wrong to take care of you so well!”

Sasha didn’t want to hear any of those words.

Just then, Matthew said, “I’d have to trouble you to take care of the rest, Mr. Manning. When the time comes, just let us know how much you need. ”

Mr. Manning immediately replied in a respectful tone, “Don’t you worry, Mr. Larson. I’ll handle it from here.”

Matthew nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Manning!”

Mr. Manning seemed to be pleasantly surprised by Matthew’s earnesty, so he quickly said, “Don’t mention it, Mr. Larson. It’s an honor to be of your service!”

Then, the lawyer took his leave ahead. Chloe looked at Matthew in astonishment and asked, “Why was that lawyer so exceptionally polite to you, Matthew? Are you guys close?”

Matthew replied, “Yeah, he’s a mutual friend.”

With that, Chloe didn’t linger on the topic. She simply said to him, “In that case, you really need to get him to work harder, Matthew. Tate can’t go to jail, okay? He’s our family’s hope, and he has always treated Sasha like a sister. You’re his brother-in-law, so you have to protect him!”

Matthew didn’t answer, for this wasn’t an easy matter to resolve.

Meanwhile, Minerva chimed in from the side and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. Since Sasha has already agreed to help, nothing can go wrong! As the president of a company, wouldn’t it be shameful if she can’t even handle something like this?”

Sasha took in a deep breath; she almost couldn’t hold herself back from landing a slap on Minerva’s face.

This woman’s mouth was still full of passive aggressiveness even at this stage—how unbearable she was!
