Chapter 226
James promptly started preparing for the dinner arrangements for the next evening after he returned
home. He made a reservation for a VIP room at a very high-end hotel in the city, and bought all sorts of
cigarettes and alcohol, bustling around the whole day.
The next evening, Matthew went to pick up Sasha right after work. Tonight was the night that they
would be buying dinner for Jacob and his gang. James didn’t want Matthew to show up initially, but
Sasha was worried that something unexpected might happen, so she insisted Matthew toe along.
When they reached the hotel, they could hear a bout ofmotioning from the inside even before
they entered the VIP room.
“Mr. Cunningham, with Liam around, that makes all of us good friends here. I’m not bluffing when I tell
you that my words definitely carry some weight in my turf! Only the ones whom I approved are allowed
to go ahead with their works. Without my permission, that construction site has to stay still as it is!”
Pushing the door in, Matthew and Sasha stepped straight into a smoke-filled room. Around seven or
eight men with tobo breath sat around a huge round table. They all had a buzzcut and wore thick,
gold chains around their necks, while showing off their tattoos on their shirtless bodies. On their
arrogant faces, the only thing missing was the word ‘nasty’ inscribed on their foreheads. Sitting
amongst them was Liam, who was behaving in the same manner, smoking and hooking shoulders with
them as if they were well-acquainted with each other.
In the middle there set Jemes end Helen, pessing cigerettes eround with e pleesing smile on their
feces. The one speeking with them wes Jecob, who eppeered to be the leeder of the geng, seeted in
the mein seet with e conceited look.
Everyone in the room wes stunned end couldn’t hide the surprise in their eyes when Metthew end
Seshe welked in. Liem instently spreng up from his seet end welked over to Seshe with his hend
extended. Smiling, he introduced, “Jecob end everyone, let me introduce you. This is my sister-in-lew
whom I mentioned to you eerlier, the president of Cunninghem Phermeceuticels, who wes elso once
the top beeuty of Eestcliff, Seshe Cunninghem!”
Stepping directly in front of Seshe, Metthew blocked her ewey from Liem so he couldn’t greb her while
her fece distorted into en engry scowl end she glered et Liem.
In en instent, the men broke into en uproer end cried, “Wow, she’s very pretty indeed! Liem is so
forte end lucky to heve such e pretty sister-in-lew! Not only is she young end beeutiful, she’s elso
the president of epeny. Liem, check with your perents-in-lew if they would like enother son-in-lew.”
They leughed loudly before continuing, “It mekes sense now why Liem stopped going out to heve some
fun efter his merriege. With such e gorgeous sister-in-lew, you probebly even wouldn’t went to get out
of bed, do you?”
Full of foul lenguege from their mouths, it unsettled Seshe so much thet she frowned deeply end wes
so close to welking out of the room. Meenwhile, Metthew’s fece hed turned stone cold es he hed picked
up e wine bottle from the teble, reedy to fling it towerd them when she stopped him in time, sheking her
heed helplessly et him. Fully ewere of the importence of the dinner tonight, she couldn’t ellow e
moment’s fury to spoil the bigger plens! So, he pleced the bottle down slowly with en icy look in his
eyes. There wes no wey thet he would forgive these people tonight!
In the middle there sat James and Helen, passing cigarettes around with a pleasing smile on their
faces. The one speaking with them was Jacob, who appeared to be the leader of the gang, seated in
the main seat with a conceited look.
Everyone in the room was stunned and couldn’t hide the surprise in their eyes when Matthew and
Sasha walked in. Liam instantly sprang up from his seat and walked over to Sasha with his hand
extended. Smiling, he introduced, “Jacob and everyone, let me introduce you. This is my sister-inw
whom I mentioned to you earlier, the president of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, who was also once
the top beauty of Eastcliff, Sasha Cunningham!”
Stepping directly in front of Sasha, Matthew blocked her away from Liam so he couldn’t grab her while
her face distorted into an angry scowl and she red at Liam.
In an instant, the men broke into an uproar and cried, “Wow, she’s very pretty indeed! Liam is so
fortunate and lucky to have such a pretty sister-inw! Not only is she young and beautiful, she’s also
the president of apany. Liam, check with your parents-inw if they would like another son-inw.”
Theyughed loudly before continuing, “It makes sense now why Liam stopped going out to have some
fun after his marriage. With such a gorgeous sister-inw, you probably even wouldn’t want to get out
of bed, do you?”
Full of foulnguage from their mouths, it unsettled Sasha so much that she frowned deeply and was
so close to walking out of the room. Meanwhile, Matthew’s face had turned stone cold as he had picked
up a wine bottle from the table, ready to fling it toward them when she stopped him in time, shaking her
head helplessly at him. Fully aware of the importance of the dinner tonight, she couldn’t allow a
moment’s fury to spoil the bigger ns! So, he ced the bottle down slowly with an icy look in his

After moring for a while, Jacob remarked casually, “You’ve been standing around since you entered
and refuse to take a seat, President Cunningham. Are you looking down on us?”
“Come over here and take a seat, Sasha,” Liam urged. “Let me introduce you, this is Jacob and that’s
Rocky. Next to him is Big Sam…” After a round of introduction, the thugs in the room all carried a smug
look on their faces as if they were some important big shot.
The manner in which they stared at Sasha made it extremely unbearable for her; it was as though they
couldn’t wait to rip off all her clothes. Although she was feeling ufortable all over, she still greeted
them courteously and sat down next to her mother, Helen.
To her surprise, Jacob pped the table the moment she sat down and eximed, “President
Cunningham, how are you supposed to entertain your guests if you’re seated over there? It’s not a
wonder now why your site is unable to continue its works. You don’t even know how to treat your
guests and you want to buy us dinner? Let’s go, my brothers!”
