After that, the dishes continued to be served.
This time, the Campbells busied themselves with eating and no longer criticized what they were served.
Even the salad went down without a fight.
It turned out famous chefs truly earned their reputations by being exceptionally good at their jobs.
In addition, the bottles of Chavel Blanc were polished off with not a single drop to spare.
Moreover, it was mainly the Campbells who drank them.
By the end of the dinner, Tate and Minerva were so drunk that they slurred their words.
After dinner, the Campbell family once again returned to Matthew’s villa.
While they had already been given an apartment, they claimed it wasn’t ready for them to move in yet.
The situation annoyed James to no end, but he had no say in it.
Ultimately, it would take them two weeks to begrudgingly move out of Matthew’s villa.
The apartment Jonah’s company gave them had three rooms and one common area.
It was pretty well-furnished but it could not possibly compare to what they were used to.
In contrast to The Grand Garden, their three-bedroom house was practically a dilapidated hut.
After spending a single night there, Tate and Minerva caved and returned to Matthew’s villa.
The excuse they gave was that they wanted to keep Helen company, but everyone knew they were
actually doing it because they wanted to stay at the villa for free.
After all, the huge villa was well-furnished and even had a pool. It was much better than the cramped
three-bedroom.
Since they were more prideful than their children, Chloe and Jonah did not move back to the villa but
they still found excuses to eat with the Cunninghams every other day.
As for the dinner they said they would treat the Cunninghams to, they chose an ordinary restaurant in the
end, where the total cost of the meal—plus wine—was 3,000.
During this period, they finally got to learn more about the Cunninghams and the net worth of
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. In the blink of an eye, Tate and Minerva’s attitude toward the family
shifted.
Where the Cunninghams were previously not worth a single thought, the siblings fawned over them now.
After all, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals was worth even more than their father’s company.
With Sasha acting as president, it was worth the hit to their ego to fawn over their cousin, as their efforts
could possibly earn them a management-level position in the future.
With regards to the Campbells’ freeloading, Matthew wasn’t bothered by it at all.
During this period, he spent his nights at The Grand Garden and the majority of his days at Lakeside
Garden.
His sister Natalie was gradually getting better, so he decided he would bring Sasha to Lakeside Garden
very soon.
On this day, however, he and his wife had only just reached the entrance of The Grand Garden in her car
when they heard the thunder-like roar of an engine behind them.
When they looked back, they saw a young man speeding toward them on a motorcycle.
Behind him was a sketchy-looking young woman with heavy make-up and long hair blowing in the wind.
As the bike sped toward them, Matthew frowned and quickly jerked Sasha back so that it wouldn’t run
into her if it crashed into her car.
Fortunately, it stopped just in time. When the bike-riding young man took off his helmet, they discovered
to their shock that it was Tate.
“Did you just finish work, Sasha?” he asked cheerfully.
As the young woman behind him took in the Grand Garden as well as Sasha’s Maserati, her eyes
brightened and she suddenly held onto him a lot more intimately.
With a slight furrow of her brows, Sasha asked, “Where did this bike come from, Tate?”
“Oh—it’s my friend’s,” he replied. “I’m merely borrowing it for a ride. I have to say, it’s pretty fun. I loved
going on bike rides when I was overseas and back then, I drove a Harley. I rarely ride low-end bikes like
this.”
“Do you have a motorcycle license?” she asked doubtfully.
“It’s just a bike,” he dismissed. “Why would I need a license? These things are so easy to operate.”
“But how can you ride the bike all over the place when you don’t have a license?” she protested. “You’re
going against the law!”
