Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 180
“For a family living together, having differences is inevitable.” Matthew’s lips curved into a smile as he said, “How would we be able to live together if we quarrel over everything?
“Actually, you can see that Mom and Dad seemed fine. It is mainly Liam and Demi who are biased against me; Mom and Dad were just deceived by them. Looking back at the situation, with your parents being so mad, if I stood against them, wouldn't it be adding salt to a wound?”
Sasha was silent. Like he said, there would really be no end to this if things got worse just now.
Matthew spoke lightly, “Some things are better kept to ourselves. I love you, and I don’t want to make things complicated for you. Just like you back then—paying my rent quietly—you, too, wanted to save face for me and not make me look bad, right?”
Sasha was stunned. “H-How did you know about that?”
“Silly nilly.” Matthew chuckled fondly and pulled Sasha into his arms. “I let you suffer for the past three years, so this is what I owe you! In this life, I won’t let you be wronged again!"”
Sasha put her head on Matthew’s shoulder, feeling warmth in her heart.
Meanwhile, James and Helen were in their room. As soon as they entered their room, Helen said angrily, "Do you think Matthew wouldn't want that card? Him being his greedy self, do you think he would not want a card with millions in it?"”
James shook his head slowly and said, "I really can’t tell. But let me tell you, if Matthew really did not want the card, then he is much more dangerous than we thought.”
“Why so?” Helen asked in surprise.
James glanced at her and said, "Just think of it. Such a greedy person giving up a chance on having millions, what does that mean? It shows that his plan is much bigger than this. If he really hooks up with Leanna, millions would be peanuts to him. Unlike with Leanna, Matthew can't siphon out that much money with us two here. The Sandel Family can't control Leanna. Her property is all her own. If Matthew were to really hook up with her, he stands to get at least half of her property!”
Helen was shocked. "Matthew is too dangerous, isn't it?
"Well, you have been underestimating him,” James scoffed. "If it wasn't for Liam, we'd both still be in the dark. Anyway, we have to be much more alert in the future. Liam is right; we can't let him cheat us of our money, and we mustn’t let him hook up with Leanna Sandel. Otherwise, our family will never have a good future!”
Helen nodded her head vigorously. “You're absolutely right. This can’t go on! We have to look for an opportunity to talk to Leanna about this. Otherwise, if she really falls into his trap, it would bring much trouble for all.”
The next day, Matthew and Sasha left for work early in the morning. Thereafter, Helen went to clean their room. In reality, she wanted to see if Matthew took Leanna's card. She tossed things around but couldn’t find any card. However, she did find a delicate little box.
Curious, Helen opened the box. Nestled within was a jade bracelet. It was the jade bracelet that Old Mrs. Graham gave Sasha years ago. Looking at it, Helen was overwhelmed with fury. She thought back to the time that Old Mrs. Graham asked Sasha to become her foster daughter, and Sasha readily agreed. In the end, Old Mrs Graham only gave her a worthless jade bracelet. Sasha even specifically bought such a delicate box to keep it in.
“Such a worthless thing! What's the use of keeping it?” Helen grabbed the jade bracelet and threw it to the ground.
