Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)

Chapter 22

Last night, Matthew had Billy Newman make a public announcement that his daughter had been cured

by Matthew with the use of a drug so that his medical skill could be kept as a secret.

Just like Demi, Eric and the rest of the Cunninghams thought of the drug manufactured by their

company as soon as they learned about Billy’s announcement. It was invented two years ago but the

research was later put to a halt after it failed to pass the required quality review. However, that was not

important because the point was, the drug had cured Billy’s daughter!

That was to say, the glory and honor of being invited to the ninth floor of Times Hotel last night should

have belonged to the Cunninghams. In the end, they had been robbed of it by Matthew and Sasha’s

family. The Cunninghams went livid with rage when they realized this. At the same time, Eric made up All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

his mind to make Matthew and Sasha’s family pay a heavy price for this.

James trembled with fear after receiving Eric’s phone call. “Well done, Matthew! Look at the mess you

brought upon us!” Helen’s eyes went red-rimmed when she chastised, “If you’re looking for trouble, why

didn’t you just involve yourself in this? Why did you implicate all of us as well?”

“Matthew, will you only stop after getting all of us killed?” Demi confronted him resentfully.

Sasha stood next to Matthew looking just as bleak as the rest of them. As one of the managing

executives of the company, she knew very well how dire the consequences of this matter could be.

Once it escalated into something huge, Matthew would surely be sentenced to jail! “Matthew, you really

acted too rashly this time!” Sasha muttered.

“That’s not rash. It’s something only dingbats would do!” James slammed the table and challenged

Matthew, “Matthew, tell us now, how are you going to settle this?!”

“It’s not a big deal.” With a faint smile, Matthew reassured them, “All of you, please don’t worry because

I’ll solve this!”

“Will you? How are you going to talk your way out? I’m surprised to see that not only are you keen to

pursue vanity, you’ve also learned how to brag. Since Mr. Newman told you that he no longer owes you

anything, do you think he will help you?

The Cunninghams are going to take the dispute to court! And once things get messy, our entire family

will get implicated! What wrong has our family done to have our life cross paths with a good-for-nothing

guy like you?! You have no talent and all you do is constantly bring trouble to us. Goodness gracious,

life’s just getting harder and harder…” Helen started crying her heart out hysterically.

“That’s enough!” James roared angrily. “We should focus on settling the issue at hand!”

“How’re we going to settle it? Don’t you know your father well?” doubted Helen.

James had difficulty coming up with a reply, knowing well that Eric had never been one who cared

about kinship and family ties.

“In fact, there’s a solution to it…” Demi spoke suddenly.

“What is it?” asked an anxious Helen.

Looking at Matthew, Demi said leisurely, “Matthew was the one who did the stealing. If he was willing to

shoulder all the responsibility for it, our family would no longer be implicated.”

“Demi, what nonsense are you talking about?” Sasha found her suggestion unacceptable.

“I think she’s right!” Helen’s eyes brightened up with hope as she continued, “He was the one who stole

the drug, so why should it be associated with us? Matthew, why don’t you turn yourself in and take the

blame yourself?”

“Mom! How could you ask him to do that?” Sasha asked anxiously.

“What’s wrong with that? Did I put it wrongly? We have no idea about what he did, so why are we

getting implicated by him? Why should we suffer the repercussions together with him?”

Sasha, who got so enraged by Helen that her face turned red, countered, “W-Why didn’t you say so

when all of you followed him to the ninth floor of the hotel last night? Also, you guys can’t excuse

yourself anymore after taking the car and the watch from Matthew!”

“We had no idea about his theft last night. As for the car and the watch…” James carried on somewhat

reluctantly, “We can give them back to him…”

“What are you saying?” Helen raised her voice and said crossly, “He owes us that car and that watch.

Shouldn’t he make some contribution to our family after living off us for such a long time? Matthew,

don’t you think so?”

Matthew’s heart was seized by a surge of bitterness as he realized that not only did Helen want to

benefit from what he did, she also wanted him to take all the blame alone and be sent to jail. It was way

beyond his imagination how bold and shameless his parents-in-law could get.

“Matthew, please don’t worry!” Sasha grabbed one of his arms and whispered, “I won’t allow you to

bear this responsibility alone.”

Sasha’s words of support warmed up his heart substantially. Caressing her long and smooth hair, he

said with a smile, “It’s alright. Sasha. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ve told you before that I

wouldn’t let you go through anymore suffering for the rest of your life and I’ll honor that promise!”

“You may continue to brag all you want!” Demi criticized with her lips pursed. “The summons from the

court are reaching soon, Matthew. If you really don’t want to see my sister suffer, you should take the

blame upon yourself!”

Helen’s eyes gleamed up with inspiration when she heard Demi. “Yes, if you love Sasha, you should

just turn yourself in!”

“Everyone, please don’t worry because I’ll settle it!” With that, he headed straight out of the house.

“Matthew…” Sasha wanted to go with him.

“Stop right there!” Helen blocked the door and warned Sasha angrily. “Sasha, this is the best solution

for the time being. Our family can only clear our names with Matthew taking on the responsibility

himself.”

“But…”

“I don’t want to hear any buts! Do you want to see your parents being sent to jail at such an old age?”

Looking lost, Sasha’s eyes went red-rimmed at once.

Meanwhile, at the Cunningham Residence situated to the north of the city, Sasha’s cousin, Charlie,

was gesticulating excitedly as he said, “Grandpa, I’m sure this plan will be watertight! We have Sasha

under control now that we have something to threaten her with! If she refuses to obey our instructions,

then we’ll just send her as well as her family to jail!”

“Sasha, that b*tch has been unwilling to contribute to the family with the good looks she has. It’s all her

fault trying to play a virtuous girl that costs us so many profitable businesses!”

“Exactly! If it wasn’t for her, our wealth would have already been multiplied by several times!”

“This time, let’s see whether she’s willing to cooperate.”

“President Smith from Midshire contacted me two days ago, saying that he will give us the project

worth 3 million in Midshire as long as Sasha is willing to go on a holiday trip with him for a fortnight.”

“That’s nothing. President Ferguson from Northgulf has just offered me a project worth 50 million!”

“Ha ha ha, there’s no rush. We can arrange them one by one and fill up her schedule!”

The Cunninghams were talking excitedly about it.

With a smile, Eric tapped the table softly and announced his decision, “We should put off those projects

from other cities and focus our attention on seizing the projects available in Eastcliff first.

Jason, call up those bosses and invite them over to have a gathering here. Charlie, make a trip to

Sasha’s place and ask her to dress up to join the dinner with the bosses.”

Jason, who was slightly confused, asked, “Dad, how many bosses should I call? Didn’t we just decide

to arrange them to meet Sasha one at a time?”

Eric glared at him and snapped, “You know nothing! As Sasha is still a virgin, she’s at her most

valuable moment. We will hold an auction for the bosses later to let them bid for a night with Sasha so

that our benefit can be maximized!”

Jason’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he said delightedly, “Dad, you really have great foresight!

Fine, I’ll arrange it. Ha ha, we must fetch a good price from that b*tch tonight!”
