Chapter 187

Matthew was at a loss for words. He really had never heard of Cloud Nine Cocktail Party.

It was not surprising, in reality. This was something that only Eastcliff’s businessmen and entrepreneurs
would know.

Matthew was poor in his younger days, so how would he know the ins and outs of high society?

Helen was slightly emotional. “I remember when Old Master Cunningham wanted to attend the Cloud
Nine Cocktail Party more than ten years ago. He came up with all kinds of ways and contacted everyone
he knew, but he still didn’t manage to get in.

The reason being the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party Committee thought that the Cunningham Family was
not qualified to enter the high society of Eastcliff!

Who would have thought that not long after getting Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, we would be invited to
the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party! It seems that their committee still recognizes Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals!”

James nodded enthusiastically, feeling full of himself.

Sasha was a little annoyed. “Mom, what are you talking about? Leanna specially invited Matthew. She
respects him, and that’s why he was invited. How can it be related to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?”

Helen gave her a look. “Bullsh*t! Cloud Nine Cocktail Party is only open to businessmen and
entrepreneurs. Matthew isn’t a businessman nor an entrepreneur. If he wasn’t your husband, and if it
wasn’t for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, you think he’d be eligible to attend Cloud Nine Cocktail Party?

Although Leanna Sandel is in charge, however, they also have a strict internal audit team. She is not in
charge of the whole thing. How could she have invited you if you didn’t get the team’s approval?”





James nodded in agreement. “Your mother is right. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is the key. It does not
come as a surprise though, as we recently signed a contract worth three billion. Our company has also
become a leader in the pharmaceutical industry in Eastcliff.

The committee is not daft; they must have investigated thoroughly before inviting us. Leanna Sandel just
used this as an opportunity. Do you really think it’s all because of her?”

Sasha wanted to argue, but was stopped by Matthew.

Arguing was pointless anyway, for those two would not be rational at all.

Even if they knew that this was because of Matthew, they would never admit it.

Seeing the two of them did not say anything, James said smugly, “Right then, your mother and I will join
you tomorrow!”

Sasha froze. “Why? Miss Sandel only invited Matthew and I!”

“Sasha, you are too ignorant! Is this an invitation for just the both of you? It’s an invitation for the whole
Cunningham Family! After all, your mother and I are the elders of the family.

I’m still in charge. If I don’t go, it would seem that I do not care about the event. By then, people would
spread around that the Cunningham Family is rude! If you want to enter high society, you have to play by
their rules, understand?” James said.

Sasha wanted to object, but Matthew nodded. “Dad is right. The elders of the family should attend these
events!”

James did not expect Matthew to agree with him.



He froze for a moment before nodding his head. “At least Matthew here is sensible. Okay, that’s it then.”

Sasha looked puzzled. After going back to their room, she immediately asked Matthew. “Why did you
agree with them? Miss Sandel did not invite them, and it’s not polite to bring others along with us!”

Matthew chuckled. “It’s not a big deal. It’s just two extra attendees. Besides, don’t you see? Mom and
Dad really look up to this Cloud Nine Cocktail Party, and care very much about it.

They have suffered so much in the Cunningham Family. This is a great opportunity for them to be proud.
If we don’t bring them along, we’ll never hear the end of this!”

Sasha looked at him helplessly. “Matthew, you’re too kind! When they treat you like this, you really do not
have to consider their feelings at all.”

“Don’t worry. It’s just a small matter, and they are your parents after all!” Matthew smiled.

Sasha teared up. Being able to find someone who loved her completely was the greatest thing that could
have happened to her in this lifetime.
