James leaned over and asked, “Matthew, do you know the owner? You’re saying he ran away, but do you know where his family lives? Do you know what his name is? Do you know him very well?”
Helen couldn’t help but feel smug and nodded in agreement. “Yes, that's right! Do you know what the boss’ name is? You even said he ran away. Aren't you afraid that they'll sue you for slander?”
Matthew ignored them and gently patted Sasha on the shoulder. “Don't worry, Sasha. I've asked a friend to track him down. We will definitely be able to get the bracelet back!”
Sasha nodded helplessly. There was nothing much anyone could do now.
“Those friends of yours again? Matthew, you better watch out! The Cunningham Family has fame and prestige in Eastcliff, and are considered high society. If you want to go associate with those scumbags, then you can leave the Cunningham Family and divorce Sasha. We Cunninghams do not want to associate with those who are not cultivated and civilized!” Helen pursed her lips.
Sasha was annoyed. “Mom, what are you talking about? How can you say that Matthew's friends are not civilized? Also, when did the Cunningham Family become high society in Eastcliff? Don’t you know our position? Have you seen any high society people that still live in a three-bedroom house?” Helen was tongue-tied at that.
James, on the other hand, angrily said, "Sasha, that’s very wrong of you. We're only in a temporary rut, and this will soon be over. We can't expect life to be smooth sailing. Experience the twists and turns, and overcome it proudly! We just got hold of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. This year’s company dividends will definitely be tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions. By then, we can live wherever we want. We could even buy a villa in the Grand Garden!”
Helen nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, let's buy a property in the Grand Garden. After a few years when our business is bigger and we are on par with the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, we could even stay in Lakeside Garden! By then, our family would really be at the top of the Eastcliff pyramid! Hah, we’d have to get a Lakeside Garden pass for your dad’s car and make a trip back to the Cunningham family home. I can’t wait to see their faces then!”
James had a longing look on his face.
In recent years, the Cunningham Family had suffered too much. As such, he looked forward to the day that he could raise his head proudly.
If they could live in Lakeside Garden, driving a luxury car with a Lakeside Garden pass back to the Cunningham home, it would be his proudest moment. When the time would come, he would be able to clear all the past grievances and start anew.
Eric, Jason and the entire Cunningham Family will have no choice but to look up to him then!
Sasha, however, couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
Have both of them gone crazy?
They wish to live in Lakeside Garden by using Cunningham Pharmaceuticals’ qualification?
Even The Grand Garden would be a long shot!
She couldn’t find the energy to argue with these two, so she took Matthew’s hand and went back to their room.
Sasha then looked at Matthew sincerely. “After this year's dividend is out, I will buy a new house. Even if there is only one room, it would still be ours! We’ll move out then; I can’t bear to see you suffer any longer!”
Feeling warm, Matthew smiled gently at her. “When we are done with all our work, we will move into Lakeside Garden!”
“Are you crazy?” Sasha rolled her eyes at him. “Even if we had the money, Lakeside Garden would still be out of our reach. I highly doubt we’ll be able to buy it even in this lifetime.”
