"He rescued her daughter from a car accident and sent her to the hospital,” explained Lily. “You think he’d be able to save her himself?"
Charlie suddenly realized what had taken place. "Oh, no wonder. Matthew is very lucky. Tsk, he managed to capture her attention.” Charlie couldn’t hide his envy.
Eric frowned and asked, "So, Leanna Sandel invited them to Cloud Nine Cocktail Party to thank Matthew?"
Lily nodded. "That sounds about right."
Eric sighed heavily. "I really didn't expect that after putting in so much effort for so many years, I can't even compare myself to Matthew who was lucky enough to be there to help! It seems like there is zero chance for us to get Cunningham Pharmaceuticals back in the future.”
Suddenly, something flashed in Jason’s eyes and he smiled. "Dad, it may not be a bad thing."
"What do you mean?" asked Eric in surprise.
"Why do you think Matthew is so close to Leanna?" asked Jason.
It suddenly dawned on Eric, and Charlie replied eagerly, "He’s obviously into Leanna Sandel! In terms of looks, she is as beautiful as Sasha, and her family backing is much stronger. Someone like Matthew who lives off a woman is likely to have chosen Leanna instead." Jason nodded. "That's right! Matthew has turned his sights onto Leanna, and eventually approached her. Although their family is going to the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party, when he hooks up with Leanna for real, what do you think will happen to James’ family? Matthew is not as simple as he looks. Having been ill-treated by James and Helen for so many years, do you think he will not retaliate when he gets a chance?”
Eric’s eyes lit up. "It seems like that’s the case. They are boasting about entering high society, but they are not aware that it is all because Matthew is planning to hook up with Leanna. Once he does, he will definitely leave Sasha. Maybe then he would even take over Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. I can’t wait to see the expression on James and Helen’s faces.”
Jason smiled and nodded. "Dad, Cunningham's Pharmaceuticals is just a temporary loss. We have enough money to start all over again. What does Sasha have? She has just become the chairman of the board a few days ago, and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals has already been taken from her grasp. She is left with nothing right now! Let’s wait until their family comes to us, begging like before!" Eric exclaimed with joy, "That’s great! That’s really great! It’s a pity for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals though."
Jason smiled lightly as he said, "It's okay. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is finished. As long as we have money, we can open a new one. I think right now we should focus on getting out our money first. Let’s sell the company's shares before they become worthless later on!"
Eric pondered for a while, then nodded slowly. "You’re right. Anyway, the company is no longer in our hands, and keeping these shares is useless. Even if there are dividends at the end of the year, James will not give us much. It's better to sell the shares and leave as soon as possible, so that we don't suffer eventually!"
As Eric and Jason were discussing the sale of the shares, Charlie stood alone in a corner, feeling extremely depressed. He saw Leanna Sandel in a photograph before, and had always wanted to pursue her. Seeing that his dream woman was now about to be with Matthew, how can he not be bothered?
Charlie made a vow to himself. No, I definitely can't let Matthew succeed! I have to find a way to stop him! Anyone can be with Leanna, just not him!
