Chapter 80

“You’ve prepared a place to stay?” Sasha was momentarily started. Then, she chuckled and said, “Matthew, stop joking around. I’m talking about serious matters right now!”

Matthew hurriedly replied, “I’m not joking around. I’ve really found a villa for us to stay!”

Hearing this, Sasha burst into laughter. “A villa? Why don’t you go all out and say that it’s a lakeside villa in Lakeside Garden!”

“You’re right! It is a lakeside villa!”

“Okay, say what you want. I’ll just pretend to believe you!” Sasha replied with a chuckle before she brushed it off.

My grandpa wouldn’t even dare to dream of living in a lakeside villa, let alone Matthew owning one.

That noon, the two of them ate lunch at Shanghai Nights restaurant. Mr. Moses personally went downstairs to greet them and brought them to the best VIP room upstairs.

At the same time, Mr. Moses even upgraded Sasha’s ordinary membership card to the diamond card, which was only second to the premium supreme membership card.

Naturally, Sasha was overjoyed because she loved eating at Shanghai Nights.

“Matthew, it seems that my parents are still in contact with Mr. Jones,” Sasha said worriedly.

Matthew frowned and asked, “What are they planning?”

Sasha shook her head. “I don’t know. They are pretty mysterious. Liam even came to the office several times this morning to brag about it. He said that he had done something amazing that would benefit the Cunningham family and that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would become an estate tycoon soon.”

Matthew felt his heart skip a beat. “An estate tycoon? Are they planning to expand the family business into the real estate industry?”

“I don’t know either. I asked my parents but they won’t tell me anything!”

“Well, it’s best to be careful. Mr. Jones is a liar so he might trick your parents. I’ll look into it later.”

After they finished lunch, Sasha returned to the company. She saw James, Helen, and Liam discussing something in the office and they looked excited. However, as soon as Sasha entered the room, they immediately stopped their discussion.

“Dad, Mom, what were you talking about?” Sasha was suspicious.

“Nothing! We were just drinking some tea!” James replied calmly.

Hearing this, Sasha asked, “Are you still keeping touch with Mr. Jones? Dad, Mom, I’m warning you, Mr. Jones is a liar!”

“Sasha, watch your mouth!” James scolded. “Mr. Jones has done us a huge favor. How could you bad mouth him like that?”

Sasha hurriedly said, “What favor? It was Old Mrs. Graham and her family who helped us solve the problem with the bank!”

Liam snorted and muttered, “In your dreams! Sasha, do you really think that Matthew’s friend could have helped us solve such a big problem? Do you know what kind of a person Bart is? He is a powerful big shot. Other than an equally powerful man like Mr. Jones, who else could solve that problem?”

Helen nodded vigorously and said, “Liam’s right. You’ve been with Matthew for three years, so you should know what kind of person he is. It’s impossible that he is friends with powerful people. Matthew used to only be a loser and a coward, but now he’s getting worse. He brags, frames others, gets envious, and talks about people behind their backs. I’ve never met a man more vile than he is!”

Anxious, Sasha yelled, “Mom, Matthew is telling the truth! Don’t be fooled by Mr. Jones!”

“Shut up!” James slammed his fist on the table and roared. “Is that what Matthew told you? Go and tell him that he has nothing to do with the Cunningham family anymore. There’s no need for him to interfere with our business! Even if we are fooled and deceived, it has nothing to do with him!”
