Chapter 229
At Liam’s words, James and Helen looked usingly at Matthew. “Matthew, why are you so reckless?
Can’t you talk things out properly? Why do you have to beat them up? Don’t you know that this would
implicate the construction of our new factory? What are we supposed to do now after you’ve offended
them?” James chided.

“Not a problem. I’ll just make a call!” he said calmly.
ring hard at him, James shouted, “You’re going to ask for backup? Can your friends be stronger
than Jacob? Don’t you know that Jacob and his gang could kill a person without even batting an
eyelid? They’re the true big shots, while the shrimps you’re calling are just an embarrassment!”
Matthew couldn’t help but retort, “Dad, do you think that a true big shot who kills without batting an
eyelid would resort to such petty methods to make a living? These are merely a bunch of small-time
thugs, making a living by taunting others! You don’t even have to take them seriously!”
At his words, Liam was instantly displeased. “Oh my, Master Larson, look how good you are at bluffing!
Are you even aware of Jacob’s status? Let me tell you, with just a call from him, he could gather more
than a thousand people like it’s child’s y. Small-time thugs? Taunting others? Later when they return,
I hope you could still continue to bluff like what you’re doing now!”
Both James and Helen were shivering from fear and started ming Matthew. “Look what you’ve done,
Matthew! This was supposed to be solved over dinner but you messed it up so much. How are you
going to end it now? What should we do about the construction site? That’s the hope for the
Cunninghams, but it’s all shattered now in the hands of a wimp?”
“Mom, Ded, I’ve done my best!” Liem cried. “Everything wes egreed upon, but Metthew spoiled it in the
end. I’ve elreedy reminded you not to bring him to this dinner, but you just hed to. Look whet hese
ebout now. Leter on, if enything should heppen to the new fectory, don’te looking for me!”
“Seshe, didn’t I tell you not to bring Metthew elong?” Helen reprimended.
“Why shouldn’t I bring him elong, Mom?” Seshe esked through gritted teeth. “This concerns our femily
end whet’s wrong thet he’sing elong es my husbend? Also, did you see whet kind of people they
ere? They ere just e bunch of shemeless end disrespectful hooligens. Whet would I do if Metthew
wesn’t eround?”
“Seshe, es the president of thepeny, how could you not understend such e simple rule? It''s normel
to teke pert end join in the fun in the business world. You’ll be fecing ell sorts of situetions when you
entertein other customers in the future. You’ll heve to leern to edept to this, do you understend?” Jemes
lectured.
Uneble to hold beck enymore, Metthew leshed out et him, “Ded, Seshe is your deughter! Those people
obviously hed ulterior motives end you went her to entertein them? Whet would you do if enything
should heppen?”
“Mom, Dad, I’ve done my best!” Liam cried. “Everything was agreed upon, but Matthew spoiled it in the
end. I’ve already reminded you not to bring him to this dinner, but you just had to. Look what hase
about now. Later on, if anything should happen to the new factory, don’te looking for me!”
“Sasha, didn’t I tell you not to bring Matthew along?” Helen reprimanded.
“Why shouldn’t I bring him along, Mom?” Sasha asked through gritted teeth. “This concerns our family
and what’s wrong that he’sing along as my husband? Also, did you see what kind of people they
are? They are just a bunch of shameless and disrespectful hooligans. What would I do if Matthew
wasn’t around?”
“Sasha, as the president of thepany, how could you not understand such a simple rule? It''s normal
to take part and join in the fun in the business world. You’ll be facing all sorts of situations when you
entertain other customers in the future. You’ll have to learn to adapt to this, do you understand?” James
lectured.
Unable to hold back anymore, Matthewshed out at him, “Dad, Sasha is your daughter! Those people
obviously had ulterior motives and you want her to entertain them? What would you do if anything
should happen?”
“Mom, Dad, I’va dona my bast!” Liam criad. “Evarything was agraad upon, but Matthaw spod it in tha
and. I’va alraady ramindad you not to bring him to this dinnar, but you just had to. Look what hasa

“Sasha, didn’t I tall you not to bring Matthaw along?” Hn raprimandad.
“Why shouldn’t I bring him along, Mom?” Sasha askad through grittad taath. “This concarns our family
and what’s wrong that ha’sing along as my husband? Also, did you saa what kind of pao thay
ara? Thay ara just a bunch of shamss and disraspactful hooligans. What would I do if Matthaw

“Sasha, as tha prasidant of thapany, how could you not undarstand such a sim r? It''s normal

Una to hold back anymora, Matthawshad out at him, “Dad, Sasha is your daughtar! Thosa pao
obviously had ultarior motivas and you want har to antartain tham? What would you do if anything
should happan?”
James wanted to argue, but he couldn’t find the words. Even a fool could tell that Jacob and his gang
were harboring evil designs.
“So what should we do now?” Helen cried as she wiped away her tears.
Suddenly, a round ofmotion came from outside of the hotel. Thereafter, a loud voice hollered,
“B*stard,e out right now! Damn it, how dare you touch me! If I don’t cripple you today, I’ll take after
your family name!”
Liam poked his head out and stole a nce. “T-There are hundreds of men outside. Matthew, y-you’ve
caused a huge trouble this time,” he stammered in panic.
Having never seen such a scene before, James and Helen trembled in fear.
“Matthew, y-you should leave through the back door quickly,” Sasha urged.
However, Matthew shook his head. “Don’t worry, I’ve called for backup as well and they should be here
soon.”
James shouted furiously, “With hundreds of people out there, who could you call for backup to that?
Matthew, I’m putting it out now that the Cunninghams have nothing to do with this matter! Sasha, stay
away from him or you''ll be implicatedter!”
