Chapter 118

With their knees on the floor, both James and Helen implored in a croaky voice, “We’re doing this for
your own good! Since Matthew isn’t a nice man and you can find yourself a better husband, why are you
so insistent on keeping him?”

Sasha urged anxiously, “Dad, Mom, please get up first before we talk!”

“Sasha, we won’t get up until you agree to divorce him!” James said.

“Yes, we won’t get up until you agree to divorce him and we’ll have our knees on the floor until you say
yes! Sasha, if you are cruel enough to let us kneel down in front of you, you may say no!” Helen
threatened.

Sasha was panic-stricken as the sight of her parents kneeling down before her put her under immense
pressure. After a moment of contemplation, she gritted her teeth and got down on her knees too. “Dad,
Mom, I’ll kneel down too since the two of you refuse to get up. Let’s talk this way! However, my stance
is still the same—I won’t divorce Matthew!”

Both James and Helen were stunned. At first, they had intended to use this trick to compel Sasha into
divorcing Matthew but that trick no longer worked now that Sasha had gotten down on her knees too.

After glancing at each other, James let out a sigh at last and confessed, “Sasha, to be honest…” He
gave her an account of the batch of defective Astragalus.

“Sasha, your mother and I really can’t think of any other way to solve it. We only managed to get
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals after putting in a lot of effort. If it’s destroyed in our hands, we’ll be
condemned by the rest of the family for the rest of our lives and we might really have to kill ourselves by
the time it happens! Now, you just need to get a divorce with Matthew and Young Master Cooper will
settle everything. I suppose you won’t allow Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to be destroyed by this
problem now that it’s worth up to one billion?”



Sasha chuckled when she heard her father. “Dad, Mom, is that the thing which has been bothering the
two of you?”

Helen grew anxious when she heard Sasha’s tone. “Sasha, that is a very serious problem! Since the
drugs manufactured by Cunningham Pharmaceuticals have already been released to the market,
countless consumers out there might have already bought them! If the government finds out about this, it
will be the end of our company!”



Laughing heartily, Sasha helped her parents to their feet and said, “Dad, Mom, you guys don’t have to
worry about anything if that’s what’s been bothering you guys.”

Looking astonished, both of them asked, “Why’s that so?”

“It’s because I’ve never used that batch of Astragalus to manufacture the drugs!” Sasha said.

“Huh?” Both of them went wide-eyed with pleasant surprise written all over their face.

“You didn’t use it? S-Seriously? Didn’t the company just happen to be short on Astragalus?”

With a smile, Sasha said, “Come to think of it, it’s all thanks to Matthew!” After explaining what Matthew
had done to her parents, Sasha continued with a laugh, “That batch of Astragalus is still in the storeroom
now. The CCTV camera inside had been kept running right from the moment the herbs arrived at our
company. This will leave no room for anyone to sabotage us with the defective herbs because the CCTV
footage will be able to prove that we’re innocent!”

Both James and Helen looked flabbergasted because it had never occurred to them that things could
actually turn out this way.

“R-Really?” James sounded overjoyed.



“Of course! If you don’t believe me, I can bring you guys to the storeroom later to take a look!” Sasha
said.

“Terrific! That’s just terrific!” James exclaimed.

Looking delighted, Helen asked, “Sasha, was this really Matthew’s idea?”

“Of course!” Sasha said proudly. “Matthew was of the opinion that someone must have deliberately set
up this trap in order to sabotage us. Dad, Mom, obviously it’s Francis who is trying to frame us!”

James scratched his head and doubted, “Really? But Young Master Cooper is a nice guy. Why does he
need to sabotage us?”

“Hmph!” Sasha snapped with her lips pursed, “This isn’t the first time he tried to sabotage us. He was the
mastermind who caused our business account to be frozen last time! Bart Jenkins is his uncle!”

“What?!” James widened his eyes in disbelief. “You must be kidding!”
