Trouble Caused by the Cunninghams
That night, Phoenix and Poison Spider left together.
Before they left, Poison Spider winked at Matthew. “Handsome, when you’re visiting Mightwater next
time, don’t forget to come and find me to have some fun! I’ll definitely be an awesome host!”
Matthew was quite speechless. Gosh! Poison Spider really isn’t shy with her words!
However, if one judged Poison Spider based on her looks, she was definitely as stunning as every
other woman that Matthew had met. Although she was slightly older than Matthew, her looks were
sufficient to overcome the age barrier. If it was any other man, they would definitely be unable to resist
such provocation.
The crown prince, on the other hand, wasn’t leaving Eastcliff just yet. He was still staying here. Before he
bid farewell, he left a few words of warning to Matthew. “You won’t be able to keep Leanna safe! If you
don’t want her to die, then tell her to stop meddling in this matter!”
Matthew felt quite resigned as the issue seemed to be beyond salvage.
Next, Jinny was required to accept the worship of the people from the voodoo clans of Orleans, so she
couldn’t leave just yet.
After Matthew had gathered his belongings, he went back to Lakeside Garden first.
The news of his fake death had spread throughout Eastcliff, and Sasha had fainted quite a few times
from weeping too much.
Now that everything was finally resolved, he knew that he had to meet his wife as soon as possible, no
matter what happened.
As soon as Matthew returned to Lakeside Garden, from afar, he heard loud bickering noises coming from
the manor. He took a closer look and realized that there were about ten people crowded around the
garden. Most of them were members of the Cunningham Family.
Felicia led the group, and she stood in front with a hand on her hip. Just then, she seemed to be loudly
telling off James and Helen at the doorway as she gestured angrily with her hand.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Cunninghams stood behind her with smug expressions on their faces. At the
same time, they looked on scornfully at James and Helen.
After Felicia had gone into a tirade for a while, she finally pointed a finger at James and loudly
exclaimed, “James! I’m asking you this right now! Do you agree with what I just mentioned?”
James panicked. “Felicia, you just mentioned for me to give up Cunningham Pharmaceuticals and the
manor on Lakeside Garden to you guys. But then, why should I? Cunningham Pharmaceuticals belongs
to Sasha, and this manor belongs to Matthew. Like… How can you guys just demand it out of nowhere?”
At that point, Felicia barked, “James, are you oblivious to how Cunningham Pharmaceuticals was
developed? If it wasn’t for my investment, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals wouldn’t be as well-developed
as it was today, and you wouldn’t be living a life of luxury right now. If it wasn’t for me, you guys would
perhaps still be working as a farmer back in our hometown. As for your daughter, she might even be
someone’s mistress right now if it wasn’t for me. How could she possibly be the freaking director of a
company and have the opportunity to stay in Lakeside Garden? You must be daydreaming, huh? I was
the one who invested in Cunningham Pharmaceuticals during the start-up stage, so it’s only reasonable
to hand it over back to me right now, right? You guys bought this manor with the money earned from
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, so I’m just taking that back right now. Is there an issue here?”
Angered, Helen retorted, “Felicia, your words are extremely unreasonable! Indeed, you did invest in
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals in the past, but Sasha bought over the shares from you. She didn’t inherit
it for free from you guys, so why should you be given credit for all of this?! Besides, this manor in
Lakeside Garden was gifted by Master Newman to Matthew. This has nothing to do with the
Cunninghams. What right do you have to demand us to hand it over to you guys?!”
Just then, Felicia was hopping mad, and she instantly raised her hand to slap Helen.
With a quick dodge, Helen avoided the slap.
At the sight of that, Felicia became increasingly mad. She pointed at Helen and roared, “How dare you
try to dodge! What’s going on right now?! Are you planning to disregard my position now?! Helen, I’m
telling you, you’re a nobody to the Cunningham Family, so you’re in no position to speak up! I’m warning
you here today that if you don’t hand over Cunningham Pharmaceuticals and this manor here, I’ll
definitely make sure that you guys pay for it!”
Instantly, the Cunninghams rushed forward angrily and stood menacingly in a circle. It seemed like they
were about to lay hands on the couple.
As for James and Helen, they quivered in fear.
Suddenly, Matthew’s cold voice rang out from behind. “Felicia Cunningham! You never seem to learn
your lesson, huh?”
