Chapter 744

James was being rather self-conceited when he spoke. Ever since the beginning of his marriage, Jonah
had looked down upon him as a piece of trash that his own family had given up on. Even now, the
Campbells had been showing off their superiority during dinner with a contemptuous attitude.

Therefore, James had been fuming throughout dinner, but he never got to vent his frustrations. However,
things were flipped upside-down after Leanna’s surprise visit. Although she didn’t even talk to James, her
visit had, as a result, given him face, so he was finally able to speak with more confidence.

On the other hand, Jonah stared at him wide-eyed as anxiety kicked in. “W-What did you just say? S-
She’s President Leanna Sandel? Y-You must be joking!”

James smirked. “Do I sound funny to you? All of Eastcliff knows that she established Creative Cloud
Group, and is the one who led it to its present glory.”

Jonah exhaled sharply upon hearing that, his face panic-stricken. His most important mission during
this visit to Cathay was to initiate a collaboration with Creative Cloud Group. The project wasn’t only
crucial to Jonah’s career development, but it would also be a deciding factor in Gonzalez Corporation’s
future.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Gonzalez Corporation would go bankrupt if he failed his task.
Therefore, the project could easily seal the company’s fate. When he recalled his attitude back then, he
wished he could kill himself on the spot. After all, he would already be dead if Leanna canceled the
collaboration with Gonzalez Corporation because of that.

On the other hand, Chloe and her children had fearful expressions on their faces when they recalled how
they had mocked Leanna earlier. Considering how merciless Minerva had been when she mocked
Leanna, they wondered if Jonah still had a shot in collaborating with her company.



Before Leanna left, she cast the Campbells a glance. Despite her silence, she was visibly angered. The
boss would make them into minced meat if he knew they offended such an important figure.

After a brief pause, Chloe chuckled awkwardly. “Geez, Sasha, you have quite the friend there. She is the
kind of hardworking and self-motivated person who you should befriend. Although you have no taste in
men, you managed to find yourself a great friend!”

After hearing that, Sasha corrected her misunderstanding with indifference. “Aunt Chloe, you got it all
wrong. President Sandel isn’t my friend. She’s friends with Matthew, and I only came to know her through
him. Although I consider myself her acquaintance, I’m not significant enough to have her pay for our bills,
as well as present us with the Romanee Contis that are worth millions.”



Chloe’s eyes went wide when she heard that. “W-What did you just say? S-She’s your husband’s friend?
Sasha, don’t lie to me! That’s impossible!”

After that, Demi drawled, “Why is that impossible? Hmph! That woman Leanna keeps pestering Matthew
every day. Judging from her actions, she would rush to him immediately if my sister were to file for a
divorce!”

Demi was actually trying to sow discord between Matthew and Sasha, but the meaning behind her words
changed when they fell on the Campbells’ ears. They glanced at each other with a furtive look that was
born of shock and confusion. For Jonah and Tate, feelings of envy even got thrown into the mix.

This is so unfair! Why would a beauty like Leanna lay her eyes on such a wimp? Judging from her
behavior, she’s even planning on offering herself up to him! What’s so good about Matthew anyway?

Finally, Minerva was no longer able to contain herself. “Doesn’t she know he married into your family?
Didn’t you remind her about it?”
