Chapter 980


    Chapter 980 Liam’s Resentment


    When dinner was over, Demi stormed into her bedroom with steaming out of her ears. In a fit of


    rage, she grabbed everything from her bed and threw them onto the floor.


    She spat through gritted teeth, “I can’t believe this is happening! I just can’t! How did that loser win Mom


    and Dad over? Liam, at this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the both of us are driven out of the


    family.”


    Contrary to Demi’s outburst, Liam merely sighed in resignation. Admittedly, things had gotten out of hand


    this time; the constructionpany was worth several billion in revenue, and they nearly threw it to the


    dogs.


    It was normal for James and Helen to snub him after all that had happened, but when they switched


    over to Matthew’s side, that was adding insult to Liam’s injury.


    After all, for as long as James and Helen continued to put Matthew down as an ipetent fool, then


    Liam would still stand a chance at proving himself.


    However, now that he had lost out on his inws’ favor, he couldn’t even dream of getting back into their


    good graces, let alone ask for another chance.


    With that in mind, he urged in a low voice, “Demi, we really are in hot water this time. From how I look at


    things, we have to find a way to make your parents continuously nitpick on Matthew. Otherwise, we’d


    lose out on our right to speak in this household!”


    Demi’s fists clenched, and her eyes shed with a murderous gleam as she thought about how she


    would deal with Matthew.


    In the days that followed, Matthew could hardly catch a break as he tried to do damage control on the


    constructionpany.


    Tiger and Julian had already returned to work in the constructionpany, with thetter assuming the


    role of general manager and being ced in charge of the vi neighborhood renovations.


    The shareholders who had left now came back as well, and Wilson had gotten ahold of a new group of


    buyers for the vacated vis. In less than three days, nearly all these vis had found new homeowners.


    In the meantime, Matthew was brainstorming with Stanley on another megaproject.


    They had ns to set up a hospital near the vi neighborhood with Joseph as the resident doctor, which


    would surely bring in a steady flow of prospective homebuyers.


    The n was well and all, but Matthew could neither make head nor tail of equipment packages and the


    specifics of constructing a hospital. Stanley, on the other hand, was an expert in these matters and had


    been generous enough to personally dispatch a team to lend Matthew a helping hand. With the way


    things were going, the vi neighborhood would soon be the next prestigious residential address.


    Matthew had left Julian in charge of these ns and went on to be a shadow director who spent


    most of his time in the hospital.


    Meanwhile, Crystal had been getting busy as well. Having sessfully set up a foundation to sponsor


    medical treatment for the impoverished, she spent every day helping out those who were sick and


    destitute, which enriched her life to no end.


    Her charitable acts were motivated by her genuine desire to make Matthew see her through fresh eyes.


    As far as she was concerned, she needed to pull off this charity to the best of her abilities.


    She no longer hung around bars and nightclubs with her old friends. Instead, she put her time and


    energy into helping out impoverished patients.


    In fact, she had even gone and asked around her friends, most of whom were jet-setting heirs and


    heiresses, for donations for the charity.


    Initially, her friends all thought she had gone mad. The collective question was why a girl like Crystal


    would even set up a foundation to sponsor medical treatment in the first ce. However, as her efforts


    began to reap results, everyone realized that she was genuinely serious about this noble cause, and


    they viewed her with newfound admiration.

    Given the Harrisons’ powerful connections and influence, Crystal’s charity gained a surprising amount of


    donations, so much so that it even made headlines and won praises from the business industry.


    While this was happening, Joseph told anyone who would listen to Crystal’s efforts with great pride.


    There was a time when he thought he had spoiled this granddaughter of his, and he couldn’t be more


    relieved to witness such a transformation in her.


    For this, the Harrisons were eternally grateful to Matthew.


    That afternoon, Matthew had only just returned to the office when he saw Crystal sitting on her own,


    looking sullen.


    “Oh my, has someone gotten on your nerves again, Miss Harrison?” he teased, chuckling.


    Crystal’s expression softened when she registered his presence. With a tired sigh, she mumbled, “You


    won’t believe it if I told you, Matthew. I met a patient today, and talking about this just makes my blood


    boil!”
