Last night, Matthew had Billy Newman make a public announcement that his daughter had been cured by Matthew with the use of a drug so that his medical skill could be kept as a secret.

Just like Demi, Eric and the rest of the Cunninghams thought of the drug manufactured by their company as soon as they learned about Billy’s announcement. It was invented two years ago but the research was later put to a halt after it failed to pass the required quality review. However, that was not important because the point was, the drug had cured Billy’s daughter!

That was to say, the glory and honor of being invited to the ninth floor of Times Hotel last night should have belonged to the Cunninghams. In the end, they had been robbed of it by Matthew and Sasha’s family. The Cunninghams went livid with rage when they realized this. At the same time, Eric made up his mind to make Matthew and Sasha’s family pay a heavy price for this.

James trembled with fear after receiving Eric’s phone call. “Well done, Matthew! Look at the mess you brought upon us!” Helen’s eyes went red-rimmed when she chastised, “If you’re looking for trouble, why didn’t you just involve yourself in this? Why did you implicate all of us as well?”

“Matthew, will you only stop after getting all of us killed?” Demi confronted him resentfully.

Sasha stood next to Matthew looking just as bleak as the rest of them. As one of the managing executives of the company, she knew very well how dire the consequences of this matter could be. Once it escalated into something huge, Matthew would surely be sentenced to jail! “Matthew, you really acted too rashly this time!” Sasha muttered.

“That’s not rash. It’s something only dingbats would do!” James slammed the table and challenged Matthew, “Matthew, tell us now, how are you going to settle this?!”

“It’s not a big deal.” With a faint smile, Matthew reassured them, “All of you, please don’t worry because I’ll solve this!”

“Will you? How are you going to talk your way out? I’m surprised to see that not only are you keen to pursue vanity, you’ve also learned how to brag. Since Mr. Newman told you that he no longer owes you anything, do you think he will help you?

The Cunninghams are going to take the dispute to court! And once things get messy, our entire family will get implicated! What wrong has our family done to have our life cross paths with a good-for-nothing guy like you?! You have no talent and all you do is constantly bring trouble to us. Goodness gracious, life’s just getting harder and harder…” Helen started crying her heart out hysterically.

“That’s enough!” James roared angrily. “We should focus on settling the issue at hand!”

“How’re we going to settle it? Don’t you know your father well?” doubted Helen.
