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 virtual-novel.net and put in some good words on behalf of Matthew when he’s here later.”
Sasha held virtual-novel.net head low without saying a word because virtual-novel.net was really reluctant to do that. However, virtual-novel.net had no choice but put up with the humiliation for Matthew’s sake.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net made up virtual-novel.net mind secretly that virtual-novel.net could accept having dinner and apologizing to Travis, but if virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to do anything other than that, virtual-novel.net would never agree in any event!
Seeing that Sasha had implied virtual-novel.net willingness to stay by virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net finally realized that James and Helen had never taken virtual-novel.net seriously!
He could still get some advantages from them with Matthew in the family now, but once Sasha married Travis, virtual-novel.net could foresee that his status in the family would become similar to Matthew, and virtual-novel.net would be deemed as a useless guy too. When the time came, virtual-novel.net couldn’t even be sure how long virtual-novel.net could remain in the family, let alone trying to get Sasha as his wife or seizing the assets owned by the family.
Therefore, virtual-novel.net had decided that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net what I look like, understand?”
After memorizing his words carefully in his mind, the boy took the paper together with the cash before virtual-novel.net jogged away to make the call. Liam hid somewhere behind virtual-novel.net and secretly left after making sure the boy had finished the call.
The number belonged to Matthew because virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net did not put Sasha in any difficult situation. During the dinner, Sasha apologized to virtual-novel.net but virtual-novel.net did not address virtual-novel.net apology.
When Demi came back from the toilet halfway through dinner, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net returned to the private room to find the two men handing the bottle of wine to Travis before giving virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was talking, virtual-novel.net filled the wine glass to the top before offering it to Sasha.
Demi was so shaken by the sight that virtual-novel.net felt as though virtual-novel.net heart was thumping in virtual-novel.net throat. ‘Is Travis going to drug Sasha?’
