Chapter 735


    All the while, Sasha listened on with an awkward look on her face. Why is she being so hostile toward


    me?


    She had no idea that Minerva was a petty narcissist. When she saw Demi, she was so full of herself, for


    she assumed that the Cunninghams were all in-looking. When she realized that Sasha was far prettier


    than her, she was immediately irked. Therefore, she chose to criticize Sasha’s clothing to showcase her


    sense of superiority as someone who returned from abroad.


    However, Chloe didn’t seem to notice anything wrong about Minerva’s criticisms. Instead, she chuckled.


    “Oh, Sasha. I think your cousin is right. Your clothes don’t match at all, but this isn’t your fault. This is


    how things are in Cathay. This ce is just not as advanced aspared to other countries. Minerva


    studied fashion design, so why don’t you let her help match your clothes?”


    The Campbells spoke with an air of superiority, as if having lived abroad somehow made them better


    than the Cunninghams. It made James and Helen feel awkward, but neither dared speak up against


    them.


    After all, Chloe had provided Helen a lot of assistance. Other than that, they shared a deep bond while


    growing up together. Therefore, Sasha didn’t say anything either as she led Matthew to take a seat by


    the table.


    “By the way, where is Jonah? Hasn’t he returned?” Liam asked all of a sudden.


    Upon hearing that, Minerva beamed. “Oh, my father has to dine with thepany’s regional president of


    the Floria Continent. You should bear in mind that my father will be the managing director of the


    company’s branch in Cathay from now on. If he is able to aplish the major project that thepany


    has undertaken as ofte, he will be promoted to bing the regional president of Cathay. He is


    definitely considered as one of the higher-ups even in the headquarters, so the regional president will of


    course have to treat him with respect.”


    Minerva seemed so self-conceited as she spoke. There was also a look of contempt in her eyes when


    she nced at Sasha and her family, which Matthew couldn’t help but perceive as her tantly showing


    off her status and wealth.


    On the other hand, Helen wore a smile on her face. “Oh, your father did a great job throughout the years.


    Chloe, I’m d that you finally made it to the top.”


    Upon hearing that, Minerva cut her short. “Aunt Helen, that’s not the right way to phrase it. We never


    needed to strive to stay afloat. Unlike you, we have always been at the top when we lived abroad.


    Besides, my father has always been working as a manager in thepany, so his monthly sry could


    amount to your ie for over decades. Therefore, we never experienced any struggles. On the


    contrary, you must have had a hard time while in Cathay, right?”


    Demi could no longer stand her arrogance. “Haha, how much is your father’s monthly sry? How can it


    possibly amount to our ie for over decades?”

    Pleased with herself, Minervaughed. “His monthly sry is around twenty thousand, which is around a


    hundred and fifty thousand in Cathian currency. I remember my mother telling me that she used to have


    a monthly sry of a little more than four hundred, which would add to an annual sry of a meager five


    thousand. Doesn’t that mean you will have to work for thirty years just to earn one hundred and fifty


    thousand?”


    Everybody was rendered speechless by her ignorance, for the data she listed was from a long, long time


    ago. Thus, Sasha corrected Minerva. “That is from a long time ago. The sry in Cathay has since


    increased, so the basic monthly wage amounts to a few thousand nowadays.”


    Minerva snorted at Sasha’s exnation, and she was about to mock her when Tate reached out to hold


    her arm. “Alright, let’s not talk about this any longer.” Then, he gave her a look before whispering into her


    ear. “Don’t talk about this in their presence. Dad said that the Cunninghams are parasites. What if they


    decide to borrow money from us again?”


    Minerva’s expression changed drastically as soon as she heard that; she was suddenly on full alert


    toward the Cunninghams. Disgruntled, Demi was about to protest when the door swung open before a


    middle-aged man entered the room.
