When Liam heard that Tiger was in the building, he was so frightened that his legs turned to jelly and he
left the scene immediately.
He used to be a thug once, so naturally, he knew who Tiger was and didn’t have the guts to go up
against him. Therefore, he had to completely give up on this matter. If Tiger was involved, there was no
way he would dare to stir up trouble.
Under Julian’s leadership, the company quickly purchased a huge amount of medicinal herbs and
supplied them to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.
It was undeniable that Tiger contributed a lot. He was the one who personally handled some channels
which were not easy to get through, and the ruffian dealers all disappeared as well after they met Tiger.
The company was expanding smoothly; not only did they supply medicinal herbs to Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals, but they also started supplying to other pharmaceuticals which made them a profit.
When the shareholders heard about this, they complimented Matthew for recognizing talents and picking
such a capable person to run the company.
The shareholders all had a very simple request—as long as they could make money, the rest didn’t
matter.
Matthew’s contributions for the company were piling up. First, he recovered 300 million. The second
time, he turned the tide and saved the company from collapsing. The third time, he hired Julian to take
charge of the company and successfully added another stream of income for the company.
This made the shareholders especially satisfied with Matthew and some even requested Sasha to hire
him into the company.
In fact, Sasha wanted Matthew to work in Cunningham Pharmaceuticals as well, but she didn’t do it in
the end because she knew about her parents’ prejudice against him. Usually when they were home, they
would just lash out at him for no apparent reason.
If she really hired him into the company, her parents would flip.
In addition, they were more cautious against him now.
Previously, Matthew could still sleep in the same room as her. But now, Helen would barge in every night
saying that she wanted to sleep with her and chased Matthew out. He would have no choice but to sleep
on a thin mattress in the study.
Although this depressed Matthew, there was nothing he could do about it.
On this day, Matthew showed up for work as usual and when he was about to leave in the evening, he
suddenly received a call from Sasha.
“Penny is back so let’s have dinner together tonight!”
Matthew frowned as he thought about Penny, who was Sasha’s classmate and a standard angelic b*tch.
Though she claimed to be Sasha’s friend, she was actually taking advantage of Sasha’s beauty. She
would always introduce Sasha to rich young masters in hopes of benefiting from the situation herself.
When they were in school, she was very attentive toward Sasha and kept trying to matchmake for her.
She had introduced her to countless rich young masters, but Sasha would always turn them down
harshly and she never benefitted at all.
Later, when Sasha married Matthew, she was even more disappointed than Sasha’s parents and
mocked Matthew a lot. She went abroad last year and it never occurred to him that she would be back so
soon.
“Sasha, what’s the point of meeting such a person?” Matthew asked, displeased.
With an exasperated tone, Sasha answered, “Matthew, I know you’re not happy with her, but she was
still my ex-classmate. Moreover, she already called to invite us and it will make us look petty if we don’t
show up. Just think of it as accompanying me, alright?”
Matthew grinned; he knew Sasha’s character too well and she placed a lot of value on relationships. So
after work, he picked her up and they went straight to Shanghai Nights restaurant.
With an apologetic look, Sasha said, “Matthew, I know that Penny can be careless with her words, but
she hasn’t been back for a long time. Don’t bother arguing with the likes of her, okay?”
Matthew gave her a slight nod. “Don’t worry, I won’t put you in a tight spot!”
A smile spread across her face unwittingly and she put her arm through his and entered the restaurant.
When they reached the door, they immediately saw a girl with thick makeup—Penny. Penny was actually
quite pretty and was considered the belle of the school back then, but she was still a far cry when
compared to Sasha.
“Sasha!” Penny greeted.
“Penny, it’s been a while!” Sasha ran over with a smile. “Why are you waiting for us at the door?
With a laugh, Penny answered, “I can’t help it since Shanghai Nights is such a high class restaurant and
you can’t get in unless you’re a member. It would be bad if the waiter tried to stop you from getting in,
wouldn’t it?”
