Chapter 745


    Demi spat and said, “Of course she knows! But that’s what she likes. Don’t you know that these strong


    career women like to keep a toy boy?”


    Frowning, Sasha chided, “That’s enough, Demi! What are you speaking about?”


    “Did I say anything wrong?” she snapped back immediately. “Look at how she’s throwing nces at


    Matthew! Only you can take this, Sasha. I would have chased him away if I were in your shoes!”


    “Watch your tongue, Demi Cunningham,” Matthew warned with knitted brows. “It’s fine for you to insult


    me, but President Sandel might not be so civil to you if she learns about this!”

    The look on Demi’s face fell; although she wasn’t afraid of Matthew, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t


    afraid of Leanna, too. Turning to Sasha hurriedly, she uttered, “Sasha, look at him. He’s feeling guilty


    —”


    “Shut up.” Sasha cut her off curtly. “I trust Matthew! President Sandel is grateful to him because he did


    her a big favor before, and they’re just friends. Don’t bring this up anymore!”


    Demi pouted her lips and muttered something under her breath, appearing to be very defiant at the


    situation.


    On the other hand, Jonah and the rest stared at Matthew fixedly with envy. Despite what Sasha had just


    said, they were no fools. What sort of friends were they that she would buy him a Romanee Conti worth


    millions? Furthermore, when they thought about it carefully, Leanna’s eyes were on Matthew most of the


    time earlier.


    For a woman, she would only pay that much attention to a person that she liked.


    Leanna definitely has a liking for Matthew! Jonah thought, filled with jealousy.


    The moment Leanna entered the room, he was deeply attracted to her. Thinking that he returned from


    abroad and had a high status, he assumed that it would be a piece of cake to make her his. However, it


    just dawned on him that the gap between them was simply too massive. In addition, and more


    importantly, she actually adored this live-in son-inw whom he looked down on. How could he take this


    lying down?


    Meanwhile, Chloe’s eyes brightened up as she chuckled and said, “Matthew, you’re really good friends


    with President Sandel, I see. Then could you please speak with her so she’ll sign the contract with your


    Uncle Jonah’spany and seal the deal for this project? As you know, Jonah came back this time as


    the general manager, and he needs to prove some sales results to his boss. It’ll make him look good if


    he’s able to get this contract.”


    Frowning, Matthew replied, “Aunt Chloe, I’m afraid this isn’t up to me to decide. I’m only friends with


    President Sandel and can’t interfere with the operations of herpany!”


    “Well, it’s not such a big deal, is it? It’s just a contract that she has to sign with someone in the end. Also,


    as the general manager of apany, will your Uncle Jonah set you up? We’re a family, after all, and


    you don’t want your uncle to lose face, right?” Chloe argued.


    She’s totally subjecting me to moral coercion! Matthew thought with unease. I’ll make Uncle Jonah look


    bad if I don’t help out? What kind of logic is this? You were just ganging up together to insult me earlier,


    and I have to make you look good now?


    In a slow and rxed tone, he said, “Aunt Chloe, there shouldn’t be any questions with your abilities


    since you all returned from abroad, and I believe that President Sandel will definitely sign the contract


    with you based on that. There’s no need for a country bumpkin like me to be involved in something like


    this.”


    In an instant, blood rushed to Chloe’s face as she recalled how she showed off her superiority to


    Matthew earlier. How embarrassing! she cried to herself. If they had known that Matthew and Leanna


    were such close friends, they wouldn’t have had the guts to blow their own trumpets in front of him.
