Chapter 174

“Company funds? It’s just dinner, and you need to use the company’s money for this? Gee, what a
shame for the chairperson. On top of that, it is considered as a crime. Embezzlement of the company’s
funds is a commercial crime!”

The crowd whispered as they looked at Matthew and Sasha, their eyes filled with despise.

Sasha flushed bright red. She just wanted to pay the bill and leave with Matthew quickly. She did not
expect this to happen, which made things even more troublesome for them.

“Sasha, have you started using the company’s money just to take care of your boy toy? Why spend so
much? Will he not settle for the ramen across the street?

You have just been appointed as the chairperson, yet you have already started to squander so much.
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals won’t last long with you at the helm!” taunted Lily as she smiled cruelly.

Sasha gritted her teeth and did not speak. Expression cold, Matthew said, “Lily, stay out of this. You don’t
have the right to say anything here! I’ll give you one chance, Zachary Jackson. If you admit your mistake
and apologize to my wife for what happened today, I will turn a blind eye to this!”

Zachary burst out laughing as he said, “Did you all hear what he said? He said that he will give me a
chance!”

Everyone laughed. They thought that Matthew was being ridiculous.

“How about this, Larson, I’ll give you a chance now. Get on your knees and kowtow to me, then get out
of here! I will solve this matter with your wife separately.

Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving today!” As soon as Zachary finished his words, his lackeys
immediately rushed to surround Matthew and Sasha.





Matthew clenched his fist in a murderous rage.

Suddenly, the restaurant door was flung wide open. In strode a beautiful woman, who was none other
than Leanna Sandel.

Everyone stared fixedly at her. In terms of looks, Leanna Sandel and Sasha Cunningham were both
equally beautiful. However, Leanna had an air about her, almost like royalty. A woman like her would
surely catch the attention of men. Compared to her, Sasha was more like the girl next door, all pure and
beautiful.

As soon as Zachary saw Leanna, his expression changed immediately. He ran up to her and said,
“Leanna, w-what brings you here?”

Ignoring him, Leanna looked around until her gaze fell on Matthew. She was delighted to see him. She
made her way toward him as she exclaimed, “Mr. Larson, I’ve finally found you!”

Everyone was stunned. What is going on here? How is it that such a beautiful woman is looking for
Matthew?

Sasha was stunned too. Who is this? How does she know Matthew? Call it a woman’s intuition, but she
was instinctively a little wary of Leanna.

A puzzled Matthew asked, “And you are?” He was busy saving someone’s life that night and he did not
pay much attention to Leanna. That night, Leanna was disheveled and sweaty as she was in a hurry.
She looked completely different now.

Leanna smiled and described what had happened. It suddenly dawned on Matthew, and Sasha became
less on edge too. “So it is you! Is your daughter well?” asked Matthew.



“Thanks to you, she’s fine now,” Leanna said happily. “Moreover, the medicine is really effective; she has
not been sick recently!””

Matthew nodded. “That’s good to hear.”

“Mr. Larson, I was in a hurry that day, and I didn’t have the time to thank you properly. If you have time to
spare, I’d like to treat you to a meal,” Leanna offered respectfully.

Matthew looked at Sasha, who nodded slightly. As such, he smiled. “Okay. However, please give me a
moment. I have some things to take care of; we’ll talk about it when I’m done here.”

Leanna couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Larson, what is going on here? Is there anything I can do to help?”
