Chapter 316

Much frightened, Sasha dared not call Matthew in the end.

With a smile, Demi reassured her, “Sasha, it’s going to be alright because Young Master Hughes seems
like a nice guy. Since he’s willing to attend this dinner, it shows that he’s ready to let this matter ago.

Sasha, everything can be settled if you drink with him and put in some good words on behalf of Matthew
when he’s here later.”

Sasha held her head low without saying a word because she was really reluctant to do that.

However, she had no choice but put up with the humiliation for Matthew’s sake.

At the same time, she made up her mind secretly that she could accept having dinner and apologizing to
Travis, but if he asked her to do anything other than that, she would never agree in any event!

Seeing that Sasha had implied her willingness to stay by her silence, James, Helen and Demi
exchanged a glance and a triumphant smile.

At the same time, Liam was sitting in the car alone at the basement parking lot, looking extremely
despondent.

Following what happened earlier today, he finally realized that James and Helen had never taken him
seriously!

He could still get some advantages from them with Matthew in the family now, but once Sasha married
Travis, he could foresee that his status in the family would become similar to Matthew, and he would be
deemed as a useless guy too.





When the time came, he couldn’t even be sure how long he could remain in the family, let alone trying to
get Sasha as his wife or seizing the assets owned by the family.

Therefore, he had decided that he couldn’t allow the Cunninghams to succeed in their plan tonight by
hook or by crook!

He left the car and strolled around the parking lot where he found a teenager.

“Hey, lad, I’ll offer you two hundred bucks to help me do something.”

The teenage boy perked up immediately and asked, “What do you want me to do?”

Liam handed a piece of paper to him and instructed, “Help me give a call to this number and tell the man
that Sasha is having dinner with Travis at Zen Garden and he’s free to decide how to deal with it. By the
way, don’t tell him what I look like, understand?”

After memorizing his words carefully in his mind, the boy took the paper together with the cash before he
jogged away to make the call.

Liam hid somewhere behind him and secretly left after making sure the boy had finished the call.

The number belonged to Matthew because he was the only one who could do something to change the
situation.

Needless to say, Liam would not make the call himself because if James and Helen found out that it was
him who sabotaged their plan, they wouldn’t go easy on him.

At seven thirty, Travis swaggered into Zen Garden with a bunch of underlings.

The bunch of underlings, who had just been transferred here from Eastshire, were specifically in charge
of his safety.



The moment Travis spotted Sasha after he stepped into the private room, his face broke into a
triumphant grin.

“President Cunningham, we meet again!”

Sasha responded to his greeting with an awkward smile whereas James and Helen were putting on an
adulatory smile as they led Travis to the table.

Travis behaved himself and he did not put Sasha in any difficult situation.

During the dinner, Sasha apologized to him but he did not address her apology.

When Demi came back from the toilet halfway through dinner, she spotted two of Travis’ underlings
hiding at a corner surreptitiously.

She stole a glance at them and found that they were sprinkling some powder into a bottle of wine.

Looking alarmed, Demi wondered whether Travis was going to drug Sasha.

The two guys then brought the bottle of wine back to the private room without noticing Demi’s presence.

Demi pretended to look calm when she returned to the private room to find the two men handing the
bottle of wine to Travis before giving him a look.

Holding the bottle of wine, Travis laughed heartily and said, “President Cunningham, since your apology
is so sincere, I have to do my part too. Fine, I can forgive Matthew but President Cunningham, you have
to finish this glass of wine!”

While he was talking, he filled the wine glass to the top before offering it to Sasha.



Demi was so shaken by the sight that she felt as though her heart was thumping in her throat. Was
Travis going to drug Sasha?
