Chapter 849

Only Matthew Can Save You Now

Tate was on his knees, and without answering Chloe’s question, he went on shakily, “Please, Aunt Helen.
You have to help me, no matter what. You love me the most, don’t you? You have to help me!”

Helen was taken aback by his words as she answered nervously, “Goodness, Tate, what is it that has
you acting like this? Come on, get off the floor and tell me all about it.”

He refused to stand and instead pressed urgently, “Promise me that you’ll help me, Aunt Helen, or I—I
won’t get up at all!”

Upon seeing how desperate he was, she felt her heart twisting and agreed immediately, “Don’t be
afraid, Tate. I promise I’ll help you no matter what. Come on then, get off the floor and tell me what in
the world is going on!”

It was only after hearing her assurances that he finally rose to his feet. He was still trembling as he
recounted the incident at the hospital, leaving out the fact that he had harassed Crystal prior to that. He
shared he had gotten into a quarrel with her while they were at the hospital, which caused her to slap
him twice across the face.

He went on to explain that he had only wanted to teach her a lesson at the restaurant earlier, but landed
himself in hot water instead. He also conveniently left out the part where he had asked his friends to
capture Crystal for whatever lewd and twisted purposes he had in mind.

After having heard all this, Helen was dumbfounded. While Tate had significantly cut down on his
ridiculous antics, she knew that he was in huge trouble this time.

Others might not know Joseph as well as she did. After all, the Cunningham Group had been
collaborating with Carlson Group from the very beginning and he just happened to be the Carlson
Group’s chief doctor. As such, the Cunningham Group had always been respectful of him.



More importantly, he was a reputable man in Eastcliff and well on the top of the social hierarchy.



Presently, there were plenty of occasions where Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would be in contact with
Joseph and under such circumstances, for Tate to trifle with the older man as well as his most beloved
granddaughter would be equivalent to a death wish.

Since Chole didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, she frowned and asked, “What possessed you
to do something like this, Tate? Where did I go wrong with you? All you ever do is cause us trouble. Can’t
you just grow up?” She paused and turned to look at her sister while apologizing, “Helen, I’m sorry, but I
think you’ll have to help and clear his mess again. Should we bring a gift basket or something for Mr.
Harrison?”

Helen gave her an exasperated look. “Chloe, I’m afraid a gift basket isn’t going to solve anything.”

A surprised Chloe asked, “And why is that?”

Helen elaborated in frustration on how tricky the situation was given Joseph’s background. At last, she
concluded in a low voice, “Offending Mr. Harrison would lead to a bigger hassle than offending Leanna.
Leanna manages a business and is certainly as powerful as she is rich, but she doesn’t have many
friends; Mr. Harrison, on the other hand, has saved countless lives. It’s hard to say how many people in
Eastcliff owe him a favor and the Harrisons are an extremely reputable family here. If word of what Tate
has done breaks out, then there would be an indefinite amount of people who would come after him
before Mr. Harrison even has to ask! In fact, there might even be those in the underworld who wouldn’t
hesitate to sink Tate in Lake Eastcliff!”

Chloe’s eyes widened at the revelation; she had no idea that her son would actually wreak so much
havoc. She was silent for a while before she finally responded in a quivering voice, “S-So, what should
we do, Helen? Tate is my only son. You have to help him!”



Helen was clearly at her wits’ end as she sighed and countered, “Of course I’ll help Tate. He’s my
nephew, after all. However, I won’t be able to get a word in with Mr. Harrison at all!”

Since Chloe was panicking, she pressed, “Then, should we ask Sasha for help? She’s the company
president, which means her words carry weight.”

However, her hopes were dashed when she saw Helen solemnly shaking her head. “Sasha won’t be of
much help either. Mr. Harrison doesn’t think of her as somebody important just because she runs the
business!”

“So, what should we do? Please, you have to come up with a way to save Tate from all this. He’s my only
son!” Chloe anxiously begged.

Helen was quiet for what seemed like a long time before she finally replied through gritted teeth, “There’s
only one person in our household who can even get a word in with Mr. Harrison.”

Chloe demanded urgently, “Who?”

With a grim expression, Helen replied slowly, “Matthew.”
