Matthew and the others finished their lunch before they walked out of the private room.
Outside, the people of the Reeves Family were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up and
leave.
Upon seeing Matthew and the others coming out, the exhausted Reeves Family members immediately
straightened their postures and looked at Matthew respectfully.
However, Matthew didn't spare them a glance and left straight away.
James and Helen stayed behind for Cayden.
James glanced at everyone in the Reeves Family, then coughed triumphantly.
"All right, stand up! You're lucky that Cayden interceded for you and my son-in- law promised to let you
go.
Otherwise, you people who only know how to look down on others should just kneel here until you die!"
Everyone looked at Cayden with gratitude on their faces.
Meanwhile, Cayden felt embarrassed.
In fact, he didn't say anything, but James did this deliberately just to improve his reputation.
Cayden also felt extremely grateful to James; he truly was his friend! James patted Cayden on the
shoulder and said, "Cayden, we'll be leaving first, and you can take care of things here.If you need any
help, just tell us.Don't worry, we'll be friends for the rest of our lives, so your business is our business!"
Cayden looked at him gratefully.
"Thank you, James!"
James smiled.
"What are you thanking me for? Back when I was dirt poor, if you hadn't saved some of your own
money and lent it to me, I would've starved to death! Our friendship is for life.I didn't even thank you, so
why should you thank me?"
Cayden laughed from the bottom of his heart.
He thought it was his greatest achievement in life to have made a friend like James! After James and
Helen left, Cayden looked at everyone in the Reeves Family, a little at a loss.
Over the years, he had been bullied by these people, and they'd never treated him well.
Now that his status had suddenly changed, he was finding it a little difficult to adapt.
On the contrary, the people of the Reeves Family were very clever, and they each ran over to surround
Cayden to ingratiate and suck up to him.
Even Maddie walked up to Cayden's side and said in a low voice, "Cayden, I was wrong in the past.I
don't know what came over me.I'm really sorry.Could you forgive me? Let us start over, shall we? I
know that you have suffered a lot over the years, and it's all my fault.I...I will definitely make it up to
you.Give me another chance, all right?"
Cayden looked at the woman he once loved the most, feeling a little dejected.
At the beginning, the two of them had sworn themselves to each other and stayed together in spite of
everything.
He thought he had done it for love—until everything changed later.
Because he couldn't make enough money, and because the Reeves Family was rising higher and
higher in status, he became a burden to Maddie and was humiliated by her.
Over the years, the main reason why Cayden had suffered so many grievances in the family was that
Maddie had never looked up to him.
If even Maddie didn't support him, who else in the Reeves Family would take him seriously? Cayden
sighed deeply and shook his head.
"Maddie, it's too late.We can't start over anymore!"
Maddie asked anxiously, "What? Why? Cayden, you...you once said that I'm the person you love the
most! Why can't we start over? I've already apologized to you.As a man, can't you be more open-
minded?"
Cayden's eyes turned slightly red as he said softly, "The person I love the most has always been you,
and it has never changed.But, because of this, I'll never forget the harm you caused me! Did you
know? In my entire life, I've never cared whether the others treated me well or badly.The only thing I
care about is your attitude for me!"
