Chapter 282


    Sasha spoke anxiously, “Dad, the crisis didn’t happen because we’ve offended them! Do you know


    what the Pharmaceuticals Union demands? They want half of our business!”


    James was confused when he heard her. “W-What do you mean by that?”


    After Sasha gave him an ount of the encounter with the Pharmaceutical Union earlier, James went


    dumbfounded at once, who never expected that the Pharmaceutical Union would actually make such a


    greedy request.


    After a moment of silence, Demi voiced her opinion all of a sudden, “I think the Pharmaceutical Union


    can’t possibly be so angry with us just because we refused to join them! I think this crisis must have


    something to do with Mr. Hughes whom Matthew offended! Matthew, how did you upset such a big shot


    in the Pharmaceutical Union? He is now angry with you and because of that, he wants to finish our


    “Demi, how could you pin the me on Matthew?” Sasha questioned.


    Demi snapped back, “Who else should I me if not him? If he hadn’t offended Samuel Hughes, this


    crisis wouldn’t have happened! Matthew, oh, Matthew, you’re really a jinx to our family. Look at the


    trouble you’ve caused us because of what you did. Firstly, the project at the construction site was


    forced to take a halt, causing the reputation of ourpany to be tarnished. Luckily, we received a


    somebody else. Now, thepany has to face another crisis because of you. Will you only be satisfied


    after breaking our family apart?!”


    Matthew couldn’t resist revealing, “Mr. Hughes has died!”


    “Huh?” Demi was stunned before she queried, “How did he die? Did you kill him?”


    Matthew was so taken aback by how Demi associated Samuel’s death to him that he was left


    speechless. Why do you think that I must be the one who killed him? You just can’t wait to pinpoint me


    as a murderer, can you?


    Sasha challenged Demi, “Demi, what nonsense are you spouting? How is Matthew rted to his


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    death? Mr. Hughes was killed by Young Master Jackson’s parents!”


    James, who was shocked to hear that, doubted, “That’splete gibberish. Why would Young Master


    Jackson’s parents kill Mr. Hughes? He is after all a big shot from the Hughes Family!”


    “It’s because Young Master Jackson was killed by Mr. Hughes!” replied Sasha.


    “What?!” James and Helen eximed at the same time.


    “Therefore, as I’ve told you guys before, this crisis isn’t rted to either Mr. Hughes or Matthew. The


    Hughes is looking for trouble because they are eyeing ourpany and our business. Dad, Mom, the


    home first and we’ll talk about it after I finish dealing with this situation?” Sasha suggested.


    James and Helen nced at each other, looking reluctant to ept that.


    “Sasha, t-the Hughes are way out of our league in terms of wealth and power! Why don’t we just offer


    half of our business to them directly? At least in that case, we can still keep the remaining half!


    Although ourpany might be smaller, it’s better than ending up having nothing!” Helen


    suggested in an undertone.


    Sounding resigned, Sasha insisted, “Mom, we must have some backbone! Should we be intimidated


    just because they are stronger than us? This time, they are asking for half of our business. What


    should we do if they want the entirepany next time?”


    Helen was unconvinced. “Baloney! After giving them half of our business, we’ll naturally join the


    Pharmaceutical Union and be one of them. Will they sabotage one of their own? What you just


    spected won’t happen at all!”


    Sasha got so frustrated that she went speechless. Waving her hands continuously at them, she said,


    “Forget it. You guys should go home first and I’ll contact you after I am done handling this matter.”


    Despite looking reluctant, Helen had no other choice but to ept that thepany really couldn’t fork


    out 10 million for investment at this hour.


    “Matthew, you are a jinx and you should stay as far away from my sister as possible! Look at how much


    trouble you’ve brought upon thepany! You aren’t allowed to step foot into thepany in the


    future. Do you understand?” Demi used angrily before leaving the ce together with James and


    Helen.


    Matthew looked baffled as he wondered why he was to me for the ongoing crisis.
