Chapter 196
Matthew was speechless. You are the one who looked down on them in the past. You thought that they
only took in Sasha as their goddaughter because she was a Chairman. So how could you me me for
that?
Sasha refuted, “Mom, Matthew told us before that Patrick has an extraordinary background, but you
didn’t believe him at all and thought that he was lying to you. Do you remember what was your attitude
toward Old Mrs. Graham and her family? Heck, you shouldn’t be so sarcastic even if they’re just
Sasha’s words were literally exposing the bad side of Helen, who was instantly enraged. “What’s wrong
with my attitude? How would I know that she has such an identity?”
James waved his hand. “That’s enough. Stop quarreling, both of you. Sasha, Old Mrs. Graham is a
pleasant person. She’s modest and unassuming. You should visit her more often in the future. Do you
understand?”
Sasha looked speechless. “Visit her? She treats me like her own daughter and even gives me the jade
bracelet, which is their heirloom. However, you sold it away. How do you expect me to meet her without
feeling ashamed?”
Helen’s face was overtaken with embarrassment. If she had known Old Mrs. Graham’s identity earlier,
she wouldn’t have sold that jade bracelet.
“Isn’t it just a jade bracelet? What’s so great about it? I’ll just redeem it back tomorrow!” Helen said
angrily.
Sasha rebutted, “You’re thinking of redeeming it? That shop isn’t open today. Mom, don’t you
understand what that means?”
Helen gave her a nce. “What can I do now? It’s just a jade bracelet. How costly can it be? If I truly
can’t redeem it, then I’ll just buy you a better one next time. What’s wrong with that? I’m your mother
anyway. Is it illegal to sell off one of your jade bracelets?”
Sasha almost choked in fury. Refusing to say another word to her parents, she just brought Matthew to
the other side. James and Helen ignored her too. Following the crowd, both of them wandered around
Cloud Nine Vi and went to the back to enjoy the scenery.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Sasha stood at the corner of the hall for a moment. In the meantime, a few
young men came over to strike a conversation with Sasha. They were all in suits and leather shoes.
Plus, all of them had an influential background; they were either the heir of the Ten Greatest Families or
the descendants of the entrepreneurs. When they spotted Sasha, they were all amazed by her beauty.
On the contrary, Matthew—who was beside her—wore ordinarily, so they didn’t bother about him. In

fact, they even tried to flirt with Sasha in front of him. Unfortunately, Sasha wasn’t friendly toward them
at all. Thus, they had no choice but to go off in a huff.
While Sasha and Matthew were strolling together leisurely, a group of young men suddenly walked up
to them. The lead of the group was a youngd with a cunning look in his eyes. When he nced at
Sasha from head to toe, his eyes gleamed. He immediately got near to Sasha and said with a smile,
“Hey, beautiful, you don’t look familiar. Is this your first time attending this Cloud Nine Cocktail Party?
May I give you a tour around here?”
Sasha hated this kind of glib-tongued womanizer the most, so she rejected in disgust, “No, thanks.”
Enraged, the young man asked coldly, “May I know how do I address you?”
Sasha turned her head to a side and ignored him. Humiliated, the young man’s rage grew. “I’m Jaden
Lach, one of the organizers of this Cloud Nine Cocktail Party. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I
know everyone whoes here, but you’re the only one person I don’t know. May I ask if you have the
invitation card to this event? Do you know the consequences of illegally sneaking into such a high-ss
ce without an invitation?”
The few young men beside him started to surround them and fiercely red at Sasha. Judging from
their actions, it seemed like they were watching a thief. While Sasha started to panic, Matthew walked
over and blocked her behind him.
“We’re invited by Leanna Sandal, President Sandal. Do you have a problem with that?”
