Chapter 389


    Afterward, James asked Helen to cook a few dishes for a celebration. Matthew went to the kitchen to


    help but he was stopped by James.


    “You are the hero of the day. How can I let you cook? Besides, Helen and I haven’t cooked in a long


    time. You should just rest and let us show you our cooking skills today!” There was a bright smile on


    James’ face as he spoke. Seeing this, everyone else in the house was confused.


    After they entered the kitchen, Helen immediately closed the door and grumbled, “Honey, what are you


    doing? Why are you asking me to cook for that loser? He’s not worth it! Furthermore, what were you


    thinking when you asked Demi to thank him? This incident is all his fault. If he didn’t offend the Hughes,


    Demi wouldn’t have been locked up in a cage.”

    Hearing this, James waved his hand and whispered, “You women are really short-sighted. Do you


    know what it means for us now that Matthew has won thepetition? He brought tens of billions to


    participate in thepetition. Now that Eastcliff won, do you know how much money he earned?”


    Helen’s eyes immediately widened. “Now it all makes sense. Matthew is probably filthy rich right now! I


    understand what you mean now. Honey, you really are far-sighted.”


    Hearing this, James chuckled and said, “This is why I said that Demi is ignorant. Why are you fighting


    with Matthew at a time like this? Demi could just ask Matthew for two hundred million to start a


    wasn’t even willing to thank him. I’m telling you, you’ve spoiled her!”


    Helen blushed in embarrassment. “I didn’t think of this just now! Why don’t I talk to Demi and ask her to


    officially thank Matthew?”


    James directly waved his hand and replied, “Forget it. If Demi goes to thank him again, it will look like


    we have a purpose. We should take it slow.”


    Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Sasha said in a soft voice, “Matthew, I’m sure there is something behind


    my father’s change of attitude toward you. I suspect that he’s nning something after he found out


    you won thepetition. If they ask how much you earnedter, tell them that you didn’t earn any,


    understand?”


    Matthew whispered, “Sasha, actually, I invested all three hundred million I had. Judging from the


    medical resources that were allocated to us, the three hundred million can almost rake in six or seven


    times the capital, so that’s more than two billion. Should I hide this from them as well?”


    Sasha immediately replied, “Of course you need to hide it from them! Don’t you know my parents?


    They made a huge fuss about three hundred millionst time. If they find out that you earned two


    billion, what do you think they’ll do? Matthew, the three hundred million waspensation from the


    Jackson family to you. What you’ve earned is all yours. You can’t let them take your money away and


    you have to think about your own future! Both of them are capable people but when they were


    supposed to help you, they dragged you down. Now that you’ve made money, they want a piece of it.


    What right do they have to do that?”


    Matthew chuckled softly because he was happy that Sasha was concerned about him. Initially, he


    wanted to give the Cunninghams two hundred million to save the trouble of James and Helen


    harassing him, but after some careful thought, he felt that Sasha was right.


    James and Helen were like bottomless pits and it didn’t matter how much money he gave them. On the


    contrary, if he gave them money, James and Helen would definitely think that he secretly had


    investments behind their backs. If they started investigating and found out that the three hundred


    million wasn’t used topensate Old Mrs. Graham, there would be a riot, which was why it was better


    for him to keep it. Moreover, he needed a lot of money to rebuild the Larson family and it was time for


    him to start umting power!
