GoodNovelChapter 262 James and Helen were left speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two of them felt a pressing urge to slap themselves for making such a statement earlier, leaving them with no room to maneuver now.
After sending the both of them home, Matthew turned around and drove Sasha to the office.
Just as Helen was about to persuade them to stay for the night, she was stopped by James.
James glared at her and snapped, "Do you think everyone else are fools? You're still thinking of asking money from him after we made things so ugly just now. Do you really think he's that stupid?" Looking lost, Helen countered, "B-But, we can't give up that money, can we? That's 300 million we're talking about. With that money, our wealth will surely surpass your father's! Although we have Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, we don't really own much assets. Once we have the money, we will finally be able to hold our heads high in the Cunningham family! How can we let this chance slip by us?" James waved his hands in the air and said, "You don't have to tellall that; I understand the situation. The problem is, tonight is not the tto ask for the money. Matthew nearly got himself killed at the Jacksons' place, and we just had a dispute with him. It's not right to ask him for the money directly. On top of that, it will be harder for us when Sasha is around. You know her personality very well; she only listens to her husband now. Will she allow Matthew to give us the money if you ask him for it now? Not only will we not get the money, we might even start another argument with them, and any hopes to get ou hands on that money will be completely dashed by then!" Scratching her head, Helen let out a resigned sigh. "Alas, what's wrong with Sasha that makes her take the side of an outsider? What do you think we should do now? Surely we can't let Matthew have the money, right?" After a moment of contemplation, James told her, "Let's pay a visit to Matthew tomorrow; just the two of us. If we manage to flatter him and shower him with enough compliments, he might just give us the card. Matthew is much easier to manipulate." Helen was delighted to hear his plan, and nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, you're right! We should butter him up first and then get the card from him. There's nothing else he can do after giving us the card!" Meanwhile, Matthew sent Sasha back to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, where she had been staying recently.

She shook her head and rejected him immediately. "I can't take the card! You should keep it, since the Jacksons gave it to you as compensation." Matthew smiled. "Since we're a married couple, what difference will it make?" With a solemn expression, Sasha answered him in a serious tone, "Of course that's going to make a huge difference! When you had no funds, people around us kept on labeling you as a man who relied on a woman for a living. Now that you have money, let's see who still dares to make such a comment about you! Besides, men who have no money have no confidence. Why would you do that?" Matthew laughed and said, "I don't need so much money to be confident!" Sasha shook her head and insisted, "No matter how much money is inside that card, it's yours, and it goes without saying that you should keep it. By the way, I'm sure Dad and Mom will cup with sways soon to seize this card from you. Promiseyou won't give it to them no matter what happens! Once you give it to them, you'll not be able to get it back!" Matthew pretended to look troubled when he asked, "What should I do then? I can't disobey what they tellto do. Why don't I just leave the card with you?"
Sasha waved her hands and said, "I told you I can't keep it. Hmph. I'm you' into giving sure they will force you into them the card. Why don't you just tell them that you lost the money?"
Looking befuddled, Matthew questioned, "Losing 300 million at one go? Do you think anyone would believe me?"
"Don't we have the issue with the Grahams regarding the jade bracelet? You can just tell them that you've given the money to the Grahams as compensation for the bracelet. By doing this, we're killing two birds with one stone!"
