Chapter 71

Matthew secretly sneered. With one sentence, he managed to find out Mr. Jones’s secret.

Afterward, Mr. Jones stopped requesting Sasha to sit next to him. It was possible that he was panicking
because Mr. Jenkins was mentioned. However, James and Helen didn’t notice and continued praising
him.

After three rounds of wine, Mr. Jones suddenly gained courage and started bragging. He said that he
could make billions from a single investment and that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals was nothing
compared to his business.

He bragged about the big shots he knew and said even Billy Newman and his family had to treat him
respectfully. In short, he bragged so hard that it was obvious he was lying, but James and Helen were
convinced.

The main reason was because James and Helen were sure that it was Mr. Jones who helped solve the
problem with Mr. Jenkins. Which was why, in their eyes, Mr. Jones was a big shot and it wasn’t
surprising that he had so many achievements.

Matthew didn’t expose his lies either mainly because he couldn’t talk about Mr. Graham. Furthermore, it
was obvious that James and Helen believed in Mr. Jones. If Matthew exposed Mr. Jones now, they
definitely wouldn’t believe him. On the contrary, they would scold him, and it was not worth it. After eating
for a while, Mr. Jones grabbed his wine glass and just walked up to Sasha.

“Miss Cunningham, this is the first time we’re meeting each other but I really do admire you. You’re an
independent and strong woman and not many have such high achievements at a young age!”

Mr. Jones reeked of alcohol and he even reached over to pat Sasha’s shoulder, but he was stopped by
Matthew calmly.



Mr. Jones was furious and he glared at Matthew. “What are you doing? I’m having a conversation with
Miss Cunningham. Why are you disturbing us?”

Helen shrieked angrily, “Matthew, just eat your meal silently. Otherwise, get out of here. Meeting a big
shot like Mr. Jones is an honor that you will never get to have again, but look at what you’re doing!”



Sasha was annoyed. “Mom, Matthew didn’t do anything!”

“Shut your mouth!” Helen scolded. Immediately after, she smiled and said, “Mr. Jones, I hope you’ll
forgive them and don’t bother with a b*stard like him!”

Mr. Jones sneered and glowered at Matthew before placing his wine glass onto the table. “Since you’ve
already apologized on their behalf, I will forgive them for your sake. However, Miss Cunningham, you
have to finish up this glass of wine!”

Sasha instantly frowned. This is Mr. Jones’s glass. I can’t believe that he’s asking me to drink from his
wine glass. Even though Sasha felt disgusted, to stop her parents from nagging her, she chose to
compromise. She then picked up her wine glass and said, “Mr. Jones, I’ll drink this glass of wine to make
amends on his behalf!”

However, Mr. Jones looked displeased and he coldly said, “I asked you to drink that glass of wine but
you picked up your own glass. Are you looking down on me?”

“Sasha, how could you treat Mr. Jones like that?” Helen anxiously reprimanded. “Mr. Jones did us a great
favor!”

“He had nothing to do with unfreezing our accounts!” Sasha was irritated. “It was my godmother who
helped us solve the problem!”



Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. After a while, James hurriedly said, “Sasha, how could you say
that? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Jones!”

“Your father’s right. Mr. Jones did us a great favor but not only are you not thankful, but you even give
credit to others. You are going too far!”

“According to you, Sasha, the person that solved the matter was Matthew’s friend?” Liam smiled
insincerely. “Matthew, you really are a capable man. It seems like you’re even more capable than Mr.
Jones!”
