Chapter 235

When James and Helen heard about this, their faces turned into a scowl. That was true; if Mathew hadn’t
offended Zachary, none of this would have happened.

“Matthew, you’ll have to be mindful of your words with people in the future. Don’t offend others the
moment you open your mouth to speak. As businessmen, we’ll only prosper in harmony. Do you
understand?” James advised earnestly.

“Dad, how could you say that?” Sasha asked, annoyed. “Matthew just solved the matter for our family.
What did he do wrong?”

Helen pouted. “He started this mess, so who should solve it if not him? Also, why did you offend
someone like Zachary?

He’s the heir to the Jackson family, so just one word from him and it would be all over for Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals! Matthew, you’re such a jinx. Look how much trouble we’re going through just
because of you!”

“How could you blame Matthew for the trouble with Zachary? It was Zachary who came to seek trouble
with us. So do you mean we should just let him walk all over us?” Sasha argued.

Sneering, Helen replied, “Everything happens for a reason. Why did Zachary target him instead of, say,
me? It must be him who’s the problem!”

“Zachary was picking on me, and Matthew was helping me!” Sasha cried.

Helen was momentarily speechless and only said in a near whisper after a long while, “He could’ve
helped without making him angry.

Can’t he be a little more courteous toward a big shot like him? If he had just bear with it a little, nothing
like this would have happened.”





“Mom, you’re unreasonable!” Sasha exclaimed angrily.

“Sasha, watch your tone with your mother,” James warned.

The whole time, Matthew was silent because he did not care about this. It wasn’t the first time that
James and Helen found him to be a nuisance, so he couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. What
really confused him was actually Zachary.

Since he was no longer the heir to the Jackson Family, he didn’t have that much power to pick a fight
with Matthew now. If this incident was his order, then there must be another problem behind this. No, this
wouldn’t do. He had to investigate this incident thoroughly.

After dinner, Matthew sent everyone home and left by himself. He found Tiger and asked him about his
investigations. Knowing that this incident was not so simple, he had already sent Tiger to look into it
since afternoon.

According to Tiger’s investigations, the mastermind was not Zachary. He was merely a middleman while
the real mastermind was actually Samuel, the same Mr. Hughes from the Pharmaceutical Union.

Since he couldn’t gain any advantage from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, he thought of this idea to get
even with them. But he was from the Hughes Family in the provincial capital who didn’t know many
people in Eastcliff, so he approached Zachary instead.

Coincidentally, Zachary hated Matthew to the core and it was a pity that he was powerless to go against
him, now that he was no longer the heir to the Jackson Family. So the two of them hit it off immediately
and Zachary found Jacob with his gang to stir up this incident.



After telling him all that had happened, Tiger added in a worried tone, “Mr. Larson, Mr. Hughes is not an
easy opponent. He’s the most ruthless man from the Hughes Family, or else he wouldn’t be in charge of
the Pharmaceutical Union!

In the past, there were many pharmaceutical companies who refused to join the Union, but he took care
of them who all became obedient. There were even a few bosses in the pharma business who vanished
together with their families, all as a result of Mr. Hughes’ vicious plot!

Back then, he personally came to seek trouble with Mr. Carlson who almost suffered a huge loss. If it
wasn’t for Master Newman’s backing, his company would have been taken over by the Union!”

Matthew furrowed his brows; it seemed like he had unestimated Samuel. “In that case, he’ll use
underhand tactics on us again because he didn’t get his way this time?”
