Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 282

Sasha spoke anxiously, “Dad, the crisis didn’t happen because we’ve offended them! Do you know what the Pharmaceuticals Union demands? They want half of our business!”

James was confused when he heard her. “W-What do you mean by that?”

After Sasha gave him an account of the encounter with the Pharmaceutical Union earlier, James went dumbfounded at once, who never expected that the Pharmaceutical Union would actually make such a greedy request.

After a moment of silence, Demi voiced her opinion all of a sudden, “I think the Pharmaceutical Union can’t possibly be so angry with us just because we refused to join them! I think this crisis must have something to do with Mr. Hughes whom Matthew offended! Matthew, how did you upset such a big shot in the Pharmaceutical Union? He is now angry with you and because of that, he wants to finish our company off! Matthew, how are you going to handle this?”

“Demi, how could you pin the blame on Matthew?” Sasha questioned.

Demi snapped back, “Who else should I blame if not him? If he hadn’t offended Samuel Hughes, this crisis wouldn’t have happened! Matthew, oh, Matthew, you’re really a jinx to our family. Look at the trouble you’ve caused us because of what you did. Firstly, the project at the construction site was forced to take a halt, causing the reputation of our company to be tarnished. Luckily, we received a compensation of 300 million for all the losses we suffered, but you decided to give the money to somebody else. Now, the company has to face another crisis because of you. Will you only be satisfied after breaking our family apart?!”

Matthew couldn’t resist revealing, “Mr. Hughes has died!”

“Huh?” Demi was stunned before she queried, “How did he die? Did you kill him?”

Matthew was so taken aback by how Demi associated Samuel’s death to him that he was left speechless. Why do you think that I must be the one who killed him? You just can’t wait to pinpoint me as a murderer, can you?

Sasha challenged Demi, “Demi, what nonsense are you spouting? How is Matthew related to his death? Mr. Hughes was killed by Young Master Jackson’s parents!”

James, who was shocked to hear that, doubted, “That’s complete gibberish. Why would Young Master Jackson’s parents kill Mr. Hughes? He is after all a big shot from the Hughes Family!”

“It’s because Young Master Jackson was killed by Mr. Hughes!” replied Sasha.

“What?!” James and Helen exclaimed at the same time.

“Therefore, as I’ve told you guys before, this crisis isn’t related to either Mr. Hughes or Matthew. The Hughes is looking for trouble because they are eyeing our company and our business. Dad, Mom, the company really can’t afford to fork out 10 million at this juncture. Why don’t the two of you go back home first and we’ll talk about it after I finish dealing with this situation?” Sasha suggested.

James and Helen glanced at each other, looking reluctant to accept that.

“Sasha, t-the Hughes are way out of our league in terms of wealth and power! Why don’t we just offer half of our business to them directly? At least in that case, we can still keep the remaining half! Although our company might become smaller, it’s better than ending up having nothing!” Helen suggested in an undertone.

Sounding resigned, Sasha insisted, “Mom, we must have some backbone! Should we be intimidated just because they are stronger than us? This time, they are asking for half of our business. What should we do if they want the entire company next time?”

Helen was unconvinced. “Baloney! After giving them half of our business, we’ll naturally join the Pharmaceutical Union and become one of them. Will they sabotage one of their own? What you just speculated won’t happen at all!”

Sasha got so frustrated that she went speechless. Waving her hands continuously at them, she said, “Forget it. You guys should go home first and I’ll contact you after I am done handling this matter.”

Despite looking reluctant, Helen had no other choice but to accept that the company really couldn’t fork out 10 million for investment at this hour.

“Matthew, you are a jinx and you should stay as far away from my sister as possible! Look at how much trouble you’ve brought upon the company! You aren’t allowed to step foot into the company in the future. Do you understand?” Demi accused angrily before leaving the place together with James and Helen.

Matthew looked baffled as he wondered why he was to blame for the ongoing crisis.
