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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net walk all over us?” Sasha argued.
Sneering, Helen replied, “Everything happens for a reason. Why did Zachary target virtual-novel.net instead of, say, me? It must be virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net angry. Can’t virtual-novel.net be a little more courteous toward a big shot like him? If virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net did not care about this. It wasn’t the first time that James and Helen found virtual-novel.net to be a nuisance, so virtual-novel.net couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. What really confused virtual-novel.net was actually Zachary.
Since virtual-novel.net was no longer the heir to the Jackson Family, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net about his investigations. Knowing that this incident was not so simple, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net couldn’t gain any advantage from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, virtual-novel.net thought of this idea to get even with them. But virtual-novel.net was from the Hughes Family in the provincial capital who didn’t know many people in Eastcliff, so virtual-novel.net approached Zachary instead.
Coincidentally, Zachary hated Matthew to the core and it was a pity that virtual-novel.net was powerless to go against him, now that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be in charge of the Pharmaceutical Union! In the past, there were many pharmaceutical companies who refused to join the Union, but virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net had underestimated Samuel. “In that case, he’ll use underhand tactics on us again because virtual-novel.net didn’t get his way this time?”
