Chapter 389Afterward, James asked Helen to cook a few dishes for a celebration. Matthew went to the kitchen to
help but he was stopped by James.
“You are the hero of the day. How can I let you cook? Besides, Helen and I haven’t cooked in a long
time. You should just rest and let us show you our cooking skills today!” There was a bright smile on
James’ face as he spoke. Seeing this, everyone else in the house was confused.
After they entered the kitchen, Helen immediately closed the door and grumbled, “Honey, what are you
doing? Why are you asking me to cook for that loser? He’s not worth it! Furthermore, what were you
thinking when you asked Demi to thank him? This incident is all his fault. If he didn’t offend the Hughes,
Demi wouldn’t have been locked up in a cage.”
Hearing this, James waved his hand and whispered, “You women are really short-sighted. Do you
know what it means for us now that Matthew has won the competition? He brought tens of billions to
participate in the competition. Now that Eastcliff won, do you know how much money he earned?”
Helen’s eyes immediately widened. “Now it all makes sense. Matthew is probably filthy rich right now! I
understand what you mean now. Honey, you really are far-sighted.”
Hearing this, James chuckled and said, “This is why I said that Demi is ignorant. Why are you fighting
with Matthew at a time like this? Demi could just ask Matthew for two hundred million to start a
company and she would never have to worry about money ever again. However, she’s stubborn and
wasn’t even willing to thank him. I’m telling you, you’ve spoiled her!”
noveldramaHelen blushed in embarrassment. “I didn’t think of this just now! Why don’t I talk to Demi and ask her toofficially thank Matthew?”
James directly waved his hand and replied, “Forget it. If Demi goes to thank him again, it will look like
we have a purpose. We should take it slow.”
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Sasha said in a soft voice, “Matthew, I’m sure there is something behind
my father’s change of attitude toward you. I suspect that he’s planning something after he found out
you won the competition. If they ask how much you earned later, tell them that you didn’t earn any,
understand?”
Matthew whispered, “Sasha, actually, I invested all three hundred million I had. Judging from the
medical resources that were allocated to us, the three hundred million can almost rake in six or seven
times the capital, so that’s more than two billion. Should I hide this from them as well?”
Sasha immediately replied, “Of course you need to hide it from them! Don’t you know my parents?
They made a huge fuss about three hundred million last time. If they find out that you earned two
billion, what do you think they’ll do? Matthew, the three hundred million was compensation from the
Jackson family to you. What you’ve earned is all yours. You can’t let them take your money away and
you have to think about your own future! Both of them are capable people but when they were
supposed to help you, they dragged you down. Now that you’ve made money, they want a piece of it.
What right do they have to do that?”
Matthew chuckled softly because he was happy that Sasha was concerned about him. Initially, he
wanted to give the Cunninghams two hundred million to save the trouble of James and Helen
harassing him, but after some careful thought, he felt that Sasha was right.
James and Helen were like bottomless pits and it didn’t matter how much money he gave them. On thecontrary, if he gave them money, James and Helen would definitely think that he secretly had
investments behind their backs. If they started investigating and found out that the three hundred
million wasn’t used to compensate Old Mrs. Graham, there would be a riot, which was why it was better
for him to keep it. Moreover, he needed a lot of money to rebuild the Larson family and it was time for
him to start accumulating power!
