Helen sat next to Sasha and spoke endlessly to her about how she should contact Francis more often for the sake of their family’s business. Since the beginning, she held no regard for Matthew’s feelings at all, who was her son-in-law.

Maintaining his silence, Matthew’s attention was all focused on Sasha, who kept her brows knitted since she got into the car. Her facial expression was solemn and she didn’t speak a word, giving him the impression that she was really annoyed.

Matthew’s heart was in pain as he thought to himself, Does it annoy you that much to return home with me? Is Francis that important?

Soon after, they reached the entrance to their community. While Matthew went to park the car, the rest of them went upstairs. Reaching the doorstep with the luggage, Matthew happened to hear Helen’s voice coming from within, “Sasha, your father is right.

There’s no future for you if you stick with Matthew. The whole of Eastcliff knows that you guys had never been intimate before. Even if you divorce him now, your reputation is still untainted, and many rich young masters will chase after you.

You can definitely find someone who is thousands of times better than him, so why do you choose to stay on a road you know has a dead end?”

Another pang of pain hit Matthew’s heart; this wasn’t the first time that they had made such comments about him. Pretending that he hadn’t overheard anything at all, he pushed the door open and went in.

Helen snorted when she saw him, without a single trace of guilt on her face. Instead, she glared at him confrontationally. “You took so long just to get the luggage. What a wimp!” Through gritted teeth, she continued to lash at him, “Matthew, can’t you just be a little more worthy so that Sasha won’t be ashamed because of you?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Matthew snapped, unable to hold back.

 

Helen retorted aggressively, “If it wasn’t for you, maybe Sasha could have clinched a huge deal by spending more time with Young Master Cooper, and we could have at least moved to another place. It was all because you were there that it affected Young Master Cooper’s mood. We have now lost a huge business potential. Do you know that?”

 

Frowning, Matthew thought, Are you blaming this on me? Don’t you know what ulterior motives Francis has? So according to your logic, I should just be a coward and let my wife hook up with other men in exchange for a business deal? Holding back his anger, Matthew began, “Mom—”
