Panic-Stricken James and Helen
After keeping themselves busy for two days, James and Helen still failed to get their hands on a suitable
store for their pharmacy. Upon realizing this fact, the two felt even more remorse. Sigh! We should’ve
accepted Manager Fox’s offer in the first place!
That morning, James and Helen were suddenly stopped by someone at the residential area’s entrance
gate as soon as they stepped out. That someone was Charlie.
With a smug smile on his face, Charlie said, “Uncle James, Grandpa sent me to inform you of this! In
celebration of Aunt Felicia’s return from Mightwater, the Cunningham Family will be holding a dinner
banquet tonight. Every member of the Cunningham Family must attend, and that includes Sasha’s
worthless husband, who lives off of the Cunningham Family’s wealth!”
There was a sudden change in James’ facial expression. “Felicia is back!? D-Didn’t she go abroad?
Why is she suddenly back?”
Upon seeing James’ reaction, Charlie merely sneered. “What’s the matter? Do you honestly think Aunt
Felicia would stay abroad for the rest of her life? I’m telling you, not only has Aunt Felicia returned, but
she also knows everything that you all have done! Oh, and Aunt Felicia also mentioned that outsiders
are not allowed to interfere with the personal affairs of the Cunningham Family. And tonight, she will get
these matters settled once and for all. So don’t say I didn’t warn you!” Charlie directly walked off once he
had finished relaying the message.
Charlie’s words had unlocked the panic in James, and his face instantly turned ghostly pale. Even Helen
was gripped with intense panic.
Felicia Cunningham was the eldest daughter of the Cunningham Family, James’ eldest sister, and
Charlie’s eldest aunt.
Ever since she was young, Felicia’s character had always been extremely assertive. At home, neither
James nor Jason dared to disobey her. Even her parents acted upon whatever she said.
Years later, she got married and moved to Mightwater. Within less than half a year after her marriage,
she took control of her in-law’s company and expelled the remaining of her in-laws out.
Moreover, Felicia could also be considered the one who had financially aided the establishment of the
Cunningham Family’s Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.
Needless to say, the person with the highest position in the Cunningham Family was certainly not Eric
but Felicia.
As terrified as a mouse confronting a cat, James and Jason would shiver with fright each time they came
across Felicia.
To boot, Felicia even had someone such as Helen in the palm of her hand!
However, Felicia had gone abroad the year before last and had established her business across the
pond. Not once did she return within these two years. Therefore, it never crossed James and Helen’s
minds that Felicia would eventually return.
Knowing the situation would get ugly tonight, James broke out in cold sweat. Aligned in judgment with
Felicia’s character, she will definitely not let us off the hook that easily upon her return this time!
“What shall we do now?” James asked anxiously.
“How about we look for Matthew and discuss this matter?” Helen replied.
After having gone through lots of things, Helen had completely trusted Matthew. Whenever a problem
arose, she would always seek Matthew first for any advice.
Upon hearing that, James immediately shook his head. “We can’t seek Matthew for this matter. I know
Felicia’s character! She’ll definitely deal with Matthew upon her return this time. If we were to seek
Matthew again, wouldn’t we be troubling him? If you ask me, let’s not inform Matthew about this matter
and not let him meet with Felicia!”
Scratching her head, Helen asked, “A-Are you sure that’s the right thing to do? Just like you, I’m also
aware of Felicia’s character. You think she’ll let us off if we don’t allow her to meet with Matthew?”
James sighed. “There’s nothing much we can do, is there? Matthew really treats us nicely. We don’t
know what sort of chaos we would unleash if we let Felicia meet with him. Things would really be terrible
if we made this matter a bigger deal than it is and jeopardize the harmonious relationship between Sasha
and Matthew!”
Helen thought about James’ words carefully. James is right. Things will really be terrible when that
happens.
Agreeing with James, Helen nodded. “Okay, we’ll do as you say. We won’t tell Matthew about this matter.
Since we have owed Matthew too much within these few years, we can’t let him suffer from matters such
as these further. It’s time for us to carry out our responsibilities as his elders. This time, we’ll take this
matter into our own hands!”
Then, James held Helen’s hand, looking determined. They had made up their minds. No matter how
aggrieved we will feel tonight, we must not let Matthew be aware of this matter!
