“If you don’t believe me, you may do some checking yourself! Bart Jenkins had been fired by the bank
and I only got to know it when I went to the bank to do some errands some time ago. I guess Francis
Cooper is trying to sabotage us this time to avenge his uncle’s termination!”
James was enraged at once when he realized the truth. “Francis Cooper, that son-of-a-bxtch! It’s a
shame that I have always thought of him as a nice guy! Never have I expected that he would set up a
trap to sabotage me! I must have been blind to not be able to realize his true colors!”
Helen commented gratefully, “All credit goes to Matthew this time! Without him, we would have made a
huge blunder! James, you should treat him better in the future, do you understand?”
James nodded vigorously and said, “Of course! That’s for sure!”
Joy was written all over Sasha’s face because she was delighted to see her parents adopting a
different attitude toward Matthew.
In the meantime, she had instructed the legal team of the company to follow up what Francis Cooper
did.
Since Cunningham Pharmaceuticals did not use the batch of Astragalus to manufacture its drugs at all,
the responsibility fell on the supplier.
Not only would Francis have to refund what they had paid him for the defective Astragalus, but he
would also have to offer them a huge sum of compensation.
James and Helen then returned to their company in a buoyant mood.
Liam approached them and asked, “James and Helen, you guys are back. How did it go? Did Sasha
agree to divorce Matthew? Do I have to gather some guys to beat Matthew up so that he will divorce
Sasha obediently?”
Prior to this, James and Helen would have praised him for his suggestion.
But this time, they looked affronted to hear his suggestion.
“Liam, what nonsense are you talking about? Matthew is your brother-in-law and he’s our family. How
can you do something like that to him? You’d better be more respectful to him in the future or you won’t
be allowed to step foot in my house anymore!”
Liam looked bewildered while he received the severe admonishment from the couple.
He had never been treated this way before whenever he talked bad about Matthew in front of them.
What was wrong with them today?
He immediately went to look for Demi. When he finally learnt about the turn of events, he looked deeply
rattled.
“We’re in trouble this time!” Liam said anxiously. “James and Helen have adopted a different attitude Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
toward Matthew. Does that mean they have accepted him as their son-in-law? Will they give the entire
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to him if he manages to make them happy enough?”
Demi looked anguished because she had always been the less favored child compared to Sasha.
If Matthew was in control of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, how much benefit could she gain from her
family?
“We have to come up with ways to get Dad and Mom to continue hating Matthew!” she said.
Liam nodded slowly because he thought the same thing.
After some contemplation, he suddenly came up with a plan.
“I have an idea!” Liam announced joyfully.
“What’s that?” Demi quickly asked him.
“Let’s tell all the minor shareholders of the company about the defective herbs!”
“Huh? Are you crazy? Dad and Mom were nearly sent to jail because of what happened last time. If
you tell the minor shareholders about the mess this time, they will surely make a big fuss out of it!”
Demi was anxious.
Liam chuckled and said, “That’s exactly what I want them to do! If the issue gets bigger, Dad and Mom
will surely get chased out of the company by the shareholders. As Matthew did well in preventing the
disastrous mess from befalling the company, they will definitely demand to let Matthew manage the
company!”
Demi glared at him in disbelief. “By doing so, aren’t you helping Matthew get the company?”
Liam sniggered. “Try to imagine what Dad and Mom would think—if they were chased out by the
company they built with their hard work while Matthew became the boss, would they be able to accept
that? The most important thing now is to get Dad and Mom to continue taking our side. As long as we
have them, we will be able to get all these things back sooner or later!”
It all dawned upon Demi the next second.
