Shortly after Matthew and Sasha finished moving everything inside, the doorbell rang. When they opened the door, to their surprise they saw James and Helen standing outside with sullen looks. Their hearts lurched because they knew the couple had come looking for trouble.

Indeed, Helen exploded as soon as she stepped into the mansion, “Matthew, what a selfish and ungrateful scumbag you are! Have you forgotten who took care of you over the past three years? How dare you treat us this way? Do you even have a conscience?”

Sasha frowned at Helen and questioned, “Mom, what’re you up to again?”

Helen fumed, “What am I up to? What do you think I’m up to? Do you think that I have no idea Matthew has received at least one billion in reward from Stanley Carlson?” Truth is, James and Helen had simply agreed on a random amount when they were on their way here. They wanted to see whether they could bluff Matthew into telling them the truth.

Both Matthew and Sasha looked puzzled. When did they ever receive one billion? “Mom, where did you hear this? Since when did President Carlson give me one billion?” Matthew asked curiously.

Looking equally bewildered, Sasha asked, “Mom, you must have been hoodwinked. President Carlson has only offered to open a company for Matthew; there’s no such thing as a one billion reward! If you don’t believe it, you may go ahead and ask President Carlson about it!”
