Peter chuckled and said, “Miss Cunningham, you’ve misunderstood Penny. The only people we don’t welcome are reckless barbarians. A beauty like you is warmly welcomed! I’m planning to have a party at my house this weekend and I’ll invite some of my foreign friends. They are all civilized gentlemen and some of them are wealthy and influential people. Miss Cunningham, you should join our party so that I can introduce some of them to you. I’m sure that it’ll be great for your business!” Peter chuckled and said, “Miss Cunningham, you’ve misunderstood Penny. The only people we don’t welcome are reckless barbarians.

They are all civilized gentlemen and some of them are wealthy and influential people. Miss Cunningham, you should join our party so that I can introduce some of them to you. I’m sure that it’ll be great for your business!”
Penny immediately nodded and chimed in. “He’s right. Sasha, you have to come! Peter knows many wealthy gentlemen from his country and many of them are descendants from wealthy families. They are all handsome and rich young men and you’re definitely their type! Don’t worry, I’ll certainly introduce the most handsome man to you!”
Sitting at the side, Matthew couldn’t help but frown. I’m still right here. What are you two trying to do?
Meanwhile, Sasha shook her head and determinedly said, “No, thank you! I’m already married so there’s no need for me to meet any more gentlemen. It’s also not suitable for me to attend parties like that!”
Hearing this, Penny started to feel anxious. She really wanted to introduce Sasha to Peter’s powerful friends because she wanted to use her to elevate her status among those people. It was possible that she would even benefit from it. In Penny’s eyes, Sasha was an important bargaining chip for her to climb up the social hierarchy ladder. With that, she pretended to be angry and said, “Sasha, my fiancé personally invited you to his party. Are you really going to refuse and embarrass him? Besides, knowing more people will benefit your career. Who said that married people can’t attend parties? Matthew, why don’t you tell us whether you support Sasha to attend the party or not? Do you want Sasha’s career to develop further? If you still consider yourself a man, you should know what to do. Even though you can’t be of help to Sasha’s career, shouldn’t you let her work hard for her future? Don’t you want to see Sasha succeed and be happy?”
Matthew instantly felt speechless. This woman is really shameless. Are you seriously asking my permission to introduce my wife to other men? Your words are implying that if I stop Sasha from attending the party, I’ll be a sinner who stays in the way of Sasha’s career. What b*llshit is that?
Just when Matthew was about to rebuke her, a group of people suddenly walked in. The person leading the group was Tiger. When he was about to head upstairs, he noticed Matthew and there was a flicker in his eyes. With that, she pretended to be angry and said, “Sasha, my fiancé personally invited you to his party. Are you really going to refuse and embarrass him? Besides, knowing more people will benefit your career. Who said that married people can’t attend parties? Matthew, why don’t you tell us whether you support Sasha to attend the party or not? Do you want Sasha’s career to develop further? If you still consider yourself a man, you should know what to do. Even though you can’t be of help to Sasha’s career, shouldn’t you let her work hard for her future? Don’t you want to see Sasha succeed and be happy?” “Mr. Larson, fancy seeing you here! This must be your wife. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Larson!”
Tiger hurriedly ran over and bowed to greet Matthew.
Seeing this, Penny glanced at Tiger disdainfully. In her eyes, people who Matthew knew were definitely not powerful people. Furthermore, Tiger was so respectful toward Matthew so she assumed that he definitely was just a nobody!
Feeling surprised, Sasha asked, “Who is this?”
Tiger put on a smile and replied, “My name is Tiger and I’m the purchasing manager of our company’s subsidiary herbary company!”
Penny immediately sneered. He’s just a small manager working at a subsidiary company of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. No wonder he bowed and greeted Matthew respectfully. He probably doesn’t know the Cunningham family’s situation and thinks that he can get a raise if he gets on Matthew’s good side.
Thinking of this, the way Penny looked at Tiger became even more contemptuous. After all, she had always looked down on people like him!
