The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1111
Panic-Stricken James and Helen
After keeping themselves busy for two days, James and Helen still failed to get their hands on a suitable store for their pharmacy. Upon realizing this fact, the two felt even more remorse. Sigh! We should’ve accepted Manager Fox’s offer in the first place!
That morning, James and Helen were suddenly stopped by someone at the residential area’s entrance gate as soon as they stepped out. That someone was Charlie.
With a smug smile on his face, Charlie said, “Uncle James, Grandpa sent me to inform you of this! In celebration of Aunt Felicia’s return from Mightwater, the Cunningham Family will be holding a dinner banquet tonight. Every member of the Cunningham Family must attend, and that includes Sasha’s worthless husband, who lives off of the Cunningham Family’s wealth!”
There was a sudden change in James’ facial expression. “Felicia is back!? D-Didn’t she go abroad? Why is she suddenly back?”
Upon seeing James’ reaction, Charlie merely sneered. “What’s the matter? Do you honestly think Aunt Felicia would stay abroad for the rest of her life? I’m telling you, not only has Aunt Felicia returned, but she also knows everything that you all have done! Oh, and Aunt Felicia also mentioned that outsiders are not allowed to interfere with the personal affairs of the Cunningham Family. And tonight, she will get these matters settled once and for all. So don’t say I didn’t warn you!” Charlie directly walked off once he had finished relaying the message.
Charlie’s words had unlocked the panic in James, and his face instantly turned ghostly pale. Even Helen was gripped with intense panic.
Felicia Cunningham was the eldest daughter of the Cunningham Family, James’ eldest sister, and Charlie’s eldest aunt.
Ever since she was young, Felicia’s character had always been extremely assertive. At home, neither James nor Jason dared to disobey her. Even her parents acted upon whatever she said.
Years later, she got married and moved to Mightwater. Within less than half a year after her marriage, she took control of her in-law’s company and expelled the remaining of her in-laws out.
Moreover, Felicia could also be considered the one who had financially aided the establishment of the Cunningham Family’s Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.
Needless to say, the person with the highest position in the Cunningham Family was certainly not Eric but Felicia.
As terrified as a mouse confronting a cat, James and Jason would shiver with fright each time they came across Felicia.
To boot, Felicia even had someone such as Helen in the palm of her hand!
However, Felicia had gone abroad the year before last and had established her business across the pond. Not once did she return within these two years. Therefore, it never crossed James and Helen’s minds that Felicia would eventually return.
Knowing the situation would get ugly tonight, James broke out in cold sweat. Aligned in judgment with Felicia’s character, she will definitely not let us off the hook that easily upon her return this time!
“What shall we do now?” James asked anxiously.
“How about we look for Matthew and discuss this matter?” Helen replied.
After having gone through lots of things, Helen had completely trusted Matthew. Whenever a problem arose, she would always seek Matthew first for any advice.
Upon hearing that, James immediately shook his head. “We can’t seek Matthew for this matter. I know Felicia’s character! She’ll definitely deal with Matthew upon her return this time. If we were to seek Matthew again, wouldn’t we be troubling him? If you ask me, let’s not inform Matthew about this matter and not let him meet with Felicia!”
Scratching her head, Helen asked, “A-Are you sure that’s the right thing to do? Just like you, I’m also aware of Felicia’s character. You think she’ll let us off if we don’t allow her to meet with Matthew?”
James sighed. “There’s nothing much we can do, is there? Matthew really treats us nicely. We don’t know what sort of chaos we would unleash if we let Felicia meet with him. Things would really be terrible if we made this matter a bigger deal than it is and jeopardize the harmonious relationship between Sasha and Matthew!”
Helen thought about James’ words carefully. James is right. Things will really be terrible when that happens.
Agreeing with James, Helen nodded. “Okay, we’ll do as you say. We won’t tell Matthew about this matter. Since we have owed Matthew too much within these few years, we can’t let him suffer from matters such as these further. It’s time for us to carry out our responsibilities as his elders. This time, we’ll take this matter into our own hands!”
Then, James held Helen’s hand, looking determined. They had made up their minds. No matter how aggrieved we will feel tonight, we must not let Matthew be aware of this matter!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1112
A Proud Felicia
It was 7.00PM at Maple Wood Tower, a relatively exclusive clubhouse located in the South Suburb of Eastcliff.
Seeing that the ambiance of the clubhouse was lovely and quiet, many higher-ups would choose to discuss matters over dinner here in Maple Wood Tower.
The owner of Maple Wood Tower was Desmond Whittemore, a well-known hotel tycoon in Eastcliff.
Desmond’s status was prestigious in Eastcliff, and his personal assets ranked among the top ten in Eastcliff. Although he did not come from a famous family, he could also be considered a true prominent figure there.
But now, the flabby-looking Desmond was standing in the courtyard with a group of servers. They looked as if they were waiting for someone with great respect.
Suddenly, an ingoing Mercedes-Benz Maybach was spotted, followed by several other luxury cars.
It was the Cunningham Family’s motorcade fleet.
Shortly after, several people were seen getting off the Maybach, including Eric and Jason.
Apart from Eric and Jason, there was also a middle-aged woman. She was bedazzled in pieces of jewelry. With the help of Eric, she got out of the car with a haughty attitude.
This woman was none other than Felicia, Eric’s eldest daughter and the eldest sister of James and Jason.
Several members of the Cunningham Family were a little shocked when they saw such indignation.
“Wait a second. Isn’t that Desmond Whittemore? What’s he doing here?”
“Who is he waiting for, standing there personally?”
“Oh, my gosh! It really is Desmond Whittemore! Is there such a prominent figure in Eastcliff who is noteworthy enough for Desmond to come over and greet them personally? Could it be that someone from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff will be here tonight?”
After that, the members of the Cunningham Family started whispering and discussing this topic nonstop among themselves. Even someone as prideful as Eric also looked at Desmond with great respect. Someone as prestigious as Desmond was completely unmatched by the Cunningham Family.
At this moment, Felicia chuckled lightly. “Dad, you guys wait here for a second. I’m going to greet my friend first!” After that, she directly made her way toward Desmond.
In unison, all members of the Cunningham Family gasped in shock at the sight of this. Felicia knows Desmond!? Holy moly! Has her circle of acquaintances expanded this much?
As a matter of fact, Felicia was indeed exchanging a few words with Desmond.
Judging from this, it was obvious that both Felicia and Desmond truly knew each other despite not an ounce of smile spotted on Desmond’s face.
Realizing this fact, all members of the Cunningham Family felt even more exhilarated!
Jason whispered, “Dad, it looks like Felicia’s been doing gradually well within these few years! I’d never expected that she actually knew one of the top ten richest men in Eastcliff, Desmond Whittemore!”
With a complacent look on his face, Eric said, “I’ve mentioned it long ago that Felicia would definitely be the most promising child out of you three. Her success today is all credited to her effort. An unfilial son such as James is no way near to be her rival!”
At once, Charlie gritted his teeth and replied, “You’re absolutely right, Grandpa! Tonight, we’ll teach them a lesson they’ll never forget. I want that son of a b*tch, Matthew, to kneel on the ground, admit his mistakes, and kowtow to us!”
The mere mention of Matthew’s name instantly sent a resentful look across the faces of the members of the Cunningham Family. They hated Matthew to their guts!
After greeting and exchanging a few words with Desmond, Felicia walked over to her family. Charlie immediately came over to Felicia and asked, “Aunt Felicia, are you associated with Desmond?”
Felicia answered indifferently, “Considered so… We’ve met twice.”
With an exciting look, Charlie exclaimed, “For real!? Oh, my! Aunt Felicia, these are all some big shots!”
However, Felicia simply smiled. “These? Nah, these are all nothing! Truthfully, we’ll have another guest joining us tonight. That person is the real deal!”
Members of the Cunningham Family immediately perked their ears. Even Eric could not help but ask, “Felicia, you’ve invited a guest? Who is it? Which prominent figure is it?”
Upon hearing that, Felicia smiled and said, “Dad, I mentioned to you before that my return to Eastcliff this time is mainly because of my daughter’s engagement. So, I invited my in-law over to join us tonight. I’m sure all of you must have heard about him. His status in Eastcliff is no less than Desmond’s!”
This gave everyone a shock! Eric then asked excitedly, “Really? W-Who is it?”
With a faint smile, Felicia slowly stated a name. “Zion Fowler!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1113
A Prominent Figure Is Due to Arrive
All members of the Cunningham Family instantly seethed with excitement at the mention of Zion’s name!
He really was a prominent figure!
Even though there were not many differences between Zion and Desmond’s personal assets, Desmond was still absolutely no match for Zion.
After all, Zion came from a famous family. The Fowlers were once a member of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff.
As for Desmond, he was alone. In terms of capabilities, he was far inferior to Zion.
To their surprise, both Felicia and Zion actually became in-laws. This is such wonderful news for the Cunningham Family!
Eric nodded excitedly. “Felicia, you didn’t disappoint me indeed! I never expected that one of the descendants of the Cunningham Family could become in-laws with the Fowlers! This is really great! With the support from the Fowlers, the Cunningham Family will no longer remain a low-status family. Felicia, you’ve truly brought honor to our family!”
Acknowledging Eric’s words, everyone else also nodded excitedly.
Similarly, Felicia was also rather proud of the fact that she got to be in-laws with the Fowlers. She smiled while waving her hands. “Nah… These are all trivial matters. Alright, Dad. Let’s head inside first.”
Eric nodded. Before heading inside, he glanced at Desmond again and suddenly asked, “Felicia, why is Desmond standing here?”
At once, the members of the Cunningham Family looked over excitedly.
Felicia replied, “While exchanging a few words with him a moment ago, I heard Desmond mention that there would be a prominent figure coming over tonight.”
Sunned, the members of the Cunningham Family started exclaiming, “Which prominent figure? Which person is significant enough for Desmond to come over and greet them personally?”
However, Felicia merely shrugged her shoulders. She, too, could not get an answer from Desmond. In fact, she was more curious than anyone else present!
Despite their curiosity, they did not stay long on the spot. The servers had come over to invite them to head inside. It was as if the servers were hinting at them not to stay there to be nuisances since the said prominent figure would be arriving soon.
Shortly after the Cunningham Family went inside a private room, an ingoing Porsche Panamera slowly entered the courtyard of Maple Wood Tower.
As soon as the car came into sight, the reverent look on Desmond’s face became more and more obvious.
Then, he trotted all the way to the car and opened the door personally. He bent over and greeted, “Mr. Larson, Miss Cunningham, welcome.”
In the car sat Matthew, Sasha, and of course, Natalie! Not to forget about Tiger as well—he was the driver!
Sasha had met Desmond once long ago, so she knew he was one of the richest men in Eastcliff.
Seeing Desmond being so courteous, Sasha could not help but feel surprised. “President Whittemore, w-what’s all these?”
At once, Desmond smiled and explained, “Miss Cunningham, I heard that you and Mr. Larson would be coming over for dinner tonight, so I’m here to ensure that everything is properly arranged. Let me know if there’s anything you find lacking in our hospitality. I’ll have it arranged for you.”
Upon hearing that, Sasha felt even more astonished. Why would a rich man such as Desmond treat us in great respect?
Only Matthew and Tiger knew the real reason behind Desmond’s courteous manner.
Desmond owned a five-star hotel in the city, and that hotel was located in Renaissance Mall. It was his most profitable business ever. Now that Matthew had taken over the operation of Renaissance Mall, that would also mean he was Desmond’s current landlord.
After all, Desmond was merely a businessman. How would he dare to go against Matthew, considering the fact that Matthew could even grasp the monetary worth of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff in the palm of his hand?
For the past two days, Desmond had been seeking an opportunity to pay Matthew a visit. However, it was more difficult than he thought. Not once was he able to meet with Tiger, let alone visit Matthew.
Today, when Desmond discovered that Matthew would be coming over to Maple Wood Tower for dinner, he nearly became euphoric. He had all his plans rescheduled and came over first thing in the morning. Seeing this was the very moment that he had been waiting for, Desmond was thrilled to greet Matthew after one whole day of keeping himself busy with work at Maple Wood Tower.
“President Whittemore, thanks for your care!” Matthew said with a vague smile.
Upon hearing Matthew’s praise, Desmond simply felt his whole body was at ease. Then, he immediately said, “Oh, please don’t say that, Mr. Larson. Both your gracious presences have added glitters to my humble clubhouse! Providing tiptop hospitality is the least that I can do!”
Right after he finished speaking, Desmond immediately turned to the server. “What are you doing still standing here? Hurry up and park Mr. Larson’s car!” Then, he turned to Matthew and Sasha. “Mr. Larson, Miss Cunningham, right this way, please!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1114
A Prominent Figure Indeed
At once, the servers started getting busy with their work.
Undertaking the server’s responsibility, Desmond personally escorted Matthew and the others to the exclusive private room in Maple Wood Tower. Then, Desmond waited for them to take their seats while holding the menu in his hand. Once everyone had taken their seats, he immediately handed the menu over to Matthew in a respectful manner.
“Mr. Larson, I heard you like Italian cuisine. I have specially invited a master chef from Bainbridge who specializes in Italian cuisine. These are all his best dishes on the menu. Mr. Larson, please have a look.”
“As for Miss Cunningham, I heard you like French cuisine. I have also specially invited a master chef who specializes in French cuisine. Here, have a look at this menu.”
In the meantime, Tiger could not help but glance at Desmond. Desmond sure is bright! He just received the news this morning, but he was able to fly in several executive chefs from other places this very afternoon. Very Impressive!
Sasha was baffled. She had no idea what was going on.
Meanwhile, Matthew was rather calm, and he placed the menu in front of Natalie. “Nat, take a look.”
There was a sudden movement in Desmond’s eyes, and he immediately said, “Mr. Larson, this must be your sister, Natalie. Oh, such a gorgeous young lady she is! Just a moment, Mr. Larson. I’ll have someone bring our Patisserie master from the headquarters over to make some of the chef’s specialties for Miss Larson.”
Eventually, Sasha could no longer resist her urge to stop Desmond. “President Whittemore, you don’t have to be so courteous. We’re just here for a simple dinner with our friends. There’s really no need for all these troubles.”
Upon hearing that, Desmond hurriedly added, “Miss Cunningham, it’s your first visit to Maple Wood Tower with Mr. Larson. No matter what, I must ensure that you all receive the best hospitality from us tonight. Besides, it’s not troubling at all. It’s fine. These are all our own chefs.” Desmond waved his hand as he assured Sasha.
The server who stood next to Desmond instantly ran out and arranged their Patisserie master from the headquarters for a trip over to Maple Wood Tower.
Sasha looked dazed. She was really puzzled. What is up with Desmond?
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. A fragrant smell brushed against everyone’s noses, and Leanna walked into the room with the regality of a queen.
“Ugh! President Whittemore, what’s wrong with the service in your clubhouse? I couldn’t find any valet when I drove my car into the courtyard! For a moment, I thought your clubhouse was going out of business! But, it turns out all the servers actually came over here to entertain Mr. Larson!” Leanna jested.
Flustered by Leanna’s words, Desmond responded. “President Sandel, I’m terribly sorry. I-I forgot to give them the orders prior. I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused.”
Upon hearing that, Leanna simply waved her hand. “Apologies accepted. Oh, and help me load two cases of your aged wine into my car later.”
Desmond was overjoyed at Leanna’s words. “Not a problem, President Sandel! We can load as many cases as you like!”
Leanna simply laughed and decided not to entertain Desmond further. Then, she directly made her way toward Sasha and took the seat beside her.
Desmond was in a state of shock after he saw that.
Desmond had met Leanna several times before, but she never once spoke to him. And today, Leanna even had the mood to joke around with him. So, it seemed like Leanna was in a good mood. It was as clear as day that Leanna’s friendly behavior was all thanks to Matthew and the others.
Strange… I did hear about Leanna and Matthew being close acquaintances, but I didn’t expect that their relationship was actually closer than I had speculated.
After Matthew and the rest had placed their orders, Desmond took the menu and excused himself.
Then, Sasha turned to look at Leanna. “So, what’s the good news, Leanna? You even ask us out to have this celebratory dinner.”
In truth, Leanna was actually the host for tonight’s dinner. She had invited both Matthew and Sasha through a phone call, telling them it was a celebratory dinner. Hence, they attended the dinner without knowing the real situation.
Leanna said with a smile, “I just made more than 5 billion! Tell me that’s not good news! Tell me that’s not worth a celebration!”
This sent Sasha into a state of astonishment. “Really? Wow, Leanna! You’re a brilliant businesswoman indeed!”
Flattered by Sasha’s words, Leanna waved her hand. “Oh, don’t say that. It was all thanks to your husband that I can gain this much profit! He contributed a lot to this!”
With a puzzled look on his face, Matthew asked. “Me?”
Seeing that Matthew was confused, Leanna smiled and enlightened him. “Have you forgotten about the contract with Gonzalez Corporation that you asked me to sign some time ago? Both sides have sealed the deal! More than 5 billion are now in my pocket!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1115
Kneel Until They Show Themselves
Realization hit both Matthew and Sasha. So, it’s about the business deal with Gonzalez Corporation.
Shortly after, Lucia arrived as well. As soon as she entered, she constantly thanked Matthew and Sasha.
Not only was Leanna making a ton of money, but Gonzalez Corporation would also ride in a ton of money through this business deal. It was the typical win-win situation! Thus, Lucia was in seventh heaven after successfully signing the business deal with Leanna.
After this incident, the operation of Gonzalez Corporation could be considered to have completely achieved stability in Cathay.
Furthermore, Lucia was also prepared to reside fully in Eastcliff. Right now, the corporation in Cathay was profiting more than the headquarters. So, she planned to display her strength and skills here.
In the meantime, on the other corner of Maple Wood Tower, all members of the Cunningham Family were sitting in the private room. Both James and Helen also joined them in the room.
James and Helen did not dare to answer a word while Felicia was furiously berating them.
Enraged, Felicia scolded James and Helen for a while. Then, she pounded the table and jumped to her feet. “Are you both dumb? Do you not hear what I asked? Where’s that worthless guy who lives off of our family’s wealth!? And what about Sasha? Where is she? Do I still exist in their eyes?”
Gritting his teeth, James answered in a low voice, “Felicia… Sasha and Matthew could not make it tonight because they had other matters to attend to. Please calm down… If there’s anything you want to say to them, you can tell me!”
Once again, Felicia said angrily, “Tell you!? You? What makes you think you can be in charge? Last I heard, the one who’s currently in charge is that live-in-son-in-law of yours! James, oh, James… Look at you! Are you sure you’re still qualified as the head of a family?”
Upon hearing that, James lowered his head and did not dare to utter a word.
The more Felicia talked about this matter, the angrier she became. She eventually slammed her hand on the table loudly. “You two! Come over here!”
That loud slam scared the sh*t out of James and Helen. Shivering with fright, they got up obediently and strode toward Felicia.
Felicia stood up and gave the two of them a few slaps. Then, she exclaimed angrily, “Kneel!”
At last, Helen could no longer suppress her anger. She shouted, “Felicia! What rights do you have to make me kneel!?”
Feeling even more furious, Felicia shouted back at Helen, “What rights do I have? I am the eldest! I’m your eldest sister! You two are unfilial to Dad! So, now… I want you two to kneel in front of Dad, kowtow to him, and apologize for everything! Also, call that worthless live-in-son-in-law of yours this instant! You two will kneel for the whole night if they don’t show up!”
Helen’s face was flushed in anger. “Felicia, you can’t be so unreasonable…”
Slap! Felicia slapped Helen’s face once more. “Are you going to kneel or not?”
Helen still wished to refute but was stopped by James right away.
With a thud, James immediately fell to his knees. “Felicia! It’s my fault! I’m the one who’s unfilial! I’ll kneel, but please let Helen go. She has nothing to do with this.”
Again, Felicia was enraged. “She has nothing to do with this? She’s your wife! That makes her Dad’s daughter-in-law. She’s responsible for giving birth to a daughter who is so disrespectful toward Dad! I’ll give her two options: The first option is that you two will get a divorce by today, and she’ll cut all ties with the Cunningham Family. The second option is that she will kneel here, kowtow to Dad, and admit her mistakes!”
Bursting into tears, Helen eventually kneeled in front of Eric with tears in her eyes.
Feeling satisfied with the outcome, only then did Felicia nod. “That’s more like it! I’d figured you two would eventually give in. Okay, you two can call that worthless live-in-son-in-law of yours now. And like I said earlier, you two don’t think about getting up from the floor if he doesn’t show up!”
Gritting his teeth, James kneeled with his head lowered. Not once did he take out his phone to make the call.
James had made up his mind. No matter how or what, he must take in all the grievances tonight on Matthew’s behalf! This could also be regarded as him making up for all his misdeeds toward Matthew in the past.
When the rest of the Cunningham Family saw this, they all sneered mockingly. Charlie and Lily, especially, smiled from ear to ear. It was as if all the grievances they had suffered some time ago were completely released at this moment.
Then, Jason smiled and said, “James, hear my advice. Hurry up and call that worthless Matthew to come over! You know how Felicia can’t tolerate even the tiniest mistake. Don’t tell me you’re planning to kneel here all night!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1116
An Important Guest
Still, James kept his head lowered and stayed silent.
In the meantime, Felicia waved her hand. “Ignore him. They’re just asking for trouble! I shall see how long they will be able to kneel!”
Upon hearing that, everyone burst out in laughter, as if they were watching a funny scene from a movie.
As for Eric, he was exceptionally satisfied. He smiled and said, “Felicia, I finally won’t get bullied now that you’re back. I shouldn’t have married you off to somewhere as far as Mightwater. Otherwise, how could an old man like me possibly be bullied in this manner?”
Then, Felicia smiled. “Dad, don’t you worry. I’ll be staying in Eastcliff from today onward!”
After Felicia finished saying that, the rest of the Cunningham Family were astonished. Eric asked curiously, “Felicia, are you saying you’re not going back to Mightwater anytime soon?”
Felicia replied, “Recently, I’ve accepted a huge offer worth more than 2 billion! I’ll be helping a big company with the construction work for its infrastructure. I’ve already handed my company abroad over to my subordinates. Over the next few months or years, I will prioritize my business in Eastcliff!”
Upon hearing that, everyone was hepped up. Meanwhile, Jason asked earnestly, “Which company is it, Felicia? That’s one hell of a big project!”
With a smile on her face, Felicia said, “Gonzalez Corporation! Have you guys ever heard of it? A famous big company from abroad recently tendered a project worth tens of billions in Eastcliff, and my company contracted the infrastructure work for this project. Once this project completes, I will get at least 700 to 800 million!”
At once, the members of the Cunningham Family were thrilled to bits. Feeling proud of Felicia’s capability, Eric constantly nodded. “Felicia, you’re still the competent one out of all my children! With you in Eastcliff, I’m sure the Cunningham Family will flourish!”
Upon hearing that, Felicia let out a hearty laugh. “Dad, this is just the beginning. Don’t mind telling you all, but I’m actually on good terms with Miss Gonzalez of Gonzalez Corporation. She’s the chairman’s daughter and also the president of the branch company of Gonzalez Corporation in Cathay! Within the following months, I’ll definitely profit a lot from Gonzalez Corporation’s projects. When the time comes, the Cunningham Family will work alongside them. It will definitely be more profitable than Cunningham Pharmaceuticals!”
Once again, everyone in the Cunningham Family was pumped up. It was as if they could see themselves rising to the top.
As everyone was chit-chatting in the room, the door suddenly opened. Then, a young couple entered the room with Zion.
Instantly, Felicia got up and introduced them to everyone in the room. The young couple was Zion’s son and Felicia’s daughter. Besides celebrating Felicia’s return to Eastcliff, tonight’s dinner was also actually meant to discuss their engagement.
With an indifferent facial expression, Zion casually greeted everyone from the Cunningham Family. In all honesty, he was completely unconcerned about any of the Cunningham Family’s members. After all, he was among the top ten richest people in Eastcliff. Furthermore, Felicia’s daughter could claim ties of kinship with the Fowlers through her engagement with his son. Therefore, in Zion’s opinion, it was Felicia’s daughter who had more gain, seeing as how the status of the Cunningham Family was not on par with the Fowlers.
But, fret not, he had three sons. This youngest son of his was a dandy, so he was considered of no use to him. Hence, it did not matter to whichever woman he decided to marry!
Upon seeing there were two people kneeling in the room, he simply pursed his lips and did not bother to pay much attention to them.
On the other hand, the members of the Cunningham Family constantly fawned on Zion with flattering words, as if they were truly related. As someone of a higher social status, Zion naturally understood the thoughts in their mind. However, he simply dismissed them perfunctorily in a few words and did not even bother to take a few sips of his wine.
Even so, the members of the Cunningham Family were over the moon. After all, he was Zion Fowler, and it was considered a great honor to be able to have a few drinks with him.
Just as everyone was chitter-chattering, the door suddenly opened. It was Desmond. He pushed the door and entered. “Oh, Director Zion! I heard you came! Please forgive us if we did not serve you well,” Desmond said smilingly.
Upon seeing Desmond, Zion immediately got up and greeted him. After all, they were both listed as the top ten richest people in Eastcliff. Besides, there was no competition between the two of them. So, their relationship was considerably good.
When the members of the Cunningham Family saw Desmond come in to greet them personally, they felt even more honored. Immediately, they got up and greeted Desmond back.
However, Desmond merely dismissed them perfunctorily in a few words. Then, he smiled. “Director Zion, I’ll talk to you again later. I have an important guest over with me, so I’ll need to get going first!”
Zion was surprised. “An important guest? Who is it?”
Desmond leaned over to Zion’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Larson.”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1117
They’re Here Too?
Those three words made Zion feel as if he had been struck by lightning.
He immediately widened his eyes and asked excitedly, “Are you telling the truth? Is Mr. Larson really here?”
Desmond smiled and answered, “Zion, how could I lie to you? To tell you the truth, I knew that Mr. Larson renewed his contract with you, which is why I’m telling you about it. If Mr. Larson didn’t renew his contract with you, I wouldn’t dare to say anything.”
Zion was so excited that his hands were trembling. “T-Then, I should go and have a look. Oh, this is really unexpected.”
With that, Zion ignored the Cunningham Family and followed Desmond out.
Everyone in the Cunningham Family was a little dazed. What’s going on?
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Felicia immediately smiled and said, “It must be someone important. If Desmond personally went to greet him, I’m guessing my in-laws know him too, which is why they went to meet him. It’s all right. Don’t stand on ceremony. Let’s eat first.”
Everyone in the Cunningham Family came to an understanding and continued to eat while sharing laughter.
After eating for a while, Charlie went out to go to the restroom.
A moment later, he suddenly ran back in with excitement.
“Aunt Felicia, guess whose car I saw outside!”
Felicia was caught by surprise. “Who?”
Charlie gritted his teeth and replied, “That b*tch, Sasha!”
The Cunningham Family became abuzz.
Felicia shot to her feet. “Are you serious? Sasha’s here?”
Charlie chuckled. “I just asked about it. Not only Sasha’s here, but even Matthew is here!”
“Hmph, seems like we’re in luck! They avoided seeing me, but in the end, they got themselves caught!”
Felicia gritted her teeth. “All right. James, you said they’re busy, huh? I came back, yet neither of them came to see me, and they even went to have dinner with other people instead. Do they even see me as an elder anymore?”
James and Helen were trembling with fright, as they truly couldn’t figure out why Matthew and Sasha were here.
“Felicia, t-there must be a mistake… If there’s anything you’d like to relay, you can tell us…” James said anxiously.
Felicia slammed the table. “Shut up! What do I have to say to you? Let me tell you. Today, I’ll get to the bottom of this matter! Charlie, go find out which private room they are dining in.”
Charlie ran out with great enthusiasm, as if he had just received a holy decree.
It didn’t take long for him to return. “Aunt Felicia, I found them. They’re in Room No. 1.”
Felicia frowned. “Hah, what show-offs. They’re even using the best private room here? I’d like to see what they have to be so cocky! Let’s go! Everyone’s going with me!”
Everyone from the Cunningham Family immediately got up, rubbing their palms as they followed her out.
James and Helen wanted to get up, but Felicia slapped them across the face. “You two, keep kneeling! If I don’t allow you to get up, don’t get up!”
The two of them turned pale, and in the end, they didn’t dare to get up.
Soon, the Cunningham Family arrived at the door of Room No. 1.
Charlie rushed forward and kicked the door of the private room.
Felicia walked over, her expression thunderous. Before she entered the room, she was already fuming. “Sasha, you unfilial girl. You still have the guts to eat here? What, now? Do you think that it’ll be fine as long as you avoid me? Let me tell you—”
She stopped mid-sentence because the situation inside the room was out of her expectations.
Not only Matthew and Sasha were sitting in the room; most importantly, there were two other people who were standing—Desmond and Zion!
And what shocked her most was that the president of the Cathay branch of Gonzalez Corporation, Lucia, was also seated at the table!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1118
Huge Trouble
Everyone from the Cunningham Family rushed in as well, causing the spacious private room to become a little crowded all of a sudden.
Upon seeing the situation in the room, the rowdy Cunningham Family fell silent.
For a moment, the room was dead silent.
After a while, Zion recovered. “What are you guys doing? Who said that you can come in? Don’t you know manners?”
Desmond was annoyed too. “Are there no rules around here? Waiter, ask the security guard to throw them out! From today onward, all of my hotels will no longer accept these people!”
Lucia frowned as well. “Felicia, what are you doing? These are my most distinguished guests. How can you speak like that?”
Leanna’s brows furrowed. “Lucia, do you know her?”
Lucia looked embarrassed. “Oh, she’s the President Cunningham I mentioned. The one who handles infrastructure for Gonzalez Corporation.”
Leanna’s expression turned cold. “Miss Lucia, it doesn’t seem suitable for this person to be handling infrastructure for you, does it? If the way you do things is so irresponsible, then I’ll have to review our cooperation!”
Lucia trembled with fright, and she hurriedly said, “President Sandel, don’t be angry. I… I didn’t know she was like this. Don’t worry. I… I’ll cancel my contract with her, and I’ll re-tender for the infrastructure projects. I’ll definitely hire someone that satisfies you!”
With that, she got up and snapped angrily, “Felicia, come to my office tomorrow, and we’ll cancel the contract! You have to pay for what you’ve done!”
Felicia’s face suddenly became ashen, and she trembled as she pleaded, “Miss Gonzalez, I-I didn’t know you were here! I… I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance—”
Lucia cut her off and said coldly, “Chance? I gave you a chance, and that’s how you do things? Do you know that this is Gonzalez Corporation’s most important partner, Miss Leanna Sandel, chairman of Creative Cloud Group? Tonight, I invited Miss Sandel to dinner, but you came here to create trouble. On what basis should I give you another chance?”
Felicia nearly vomited blood.
Of course, she had heard of Leanna, but she didn’t expect that Leanna would be at the same table with Matthew and Sasha.
She just wanted to teach them a lesson. She never expected that such a major incident would happen.
At this moment, Zion said coldly, “Felicia, forget about the engagement. Nobody from the Fowler Family will ever marry a girl with such poor character! What kind of a child can a mother like you raise?”
Felicia was close to tears.
She lost her biggest project as well as the in-laws she was so proud of.
Just because I kicked the door in? Just because I said a few things out of anger? What the hell did I do?
She hurriedly turned to Sasha. “Sasha, s-speak up for me. I’m your aunt…”
Sasha’s phone suddenly rang.
When she answered the call, she heard Helen’s anxious voice. “Sasha, are you at Maple Wood Tower too? Listen to me. Quickly leave. Don’t let your aunt find you. Your Aunt Felicia, s-she’s crazy, and she wants to sort you out…”
Sasha exclaimed, “Mom, how did you know? Where are you?”
Zion’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly cried out, “Huh? The two people kneeling in the private room just now… Could they be your parents, President Cunningham?”
Sasha’s expression changed sharply. “Kneeling? Where?”
After Zion told her the location of the private room, Sasha ran out without a moment of hesitation.
Matthew followed closely behind her, and his expression had also turned cold.
Although he didn’t know what happened, he roughly guessed that his parents-in-law must have been bullied after trying to help them!

Mr Larson Is the Owner of Renaissance Mall!
When Felicia saw Sasha and the others leaving the room, she suddenly remembered that James and Helen were still kneeling in the other room.
If Sasha sees that, I’m done for.
“Sasha! Sasha, wait for me. I have something to tell you!”
As Felicia shouted, she motioned for Charlie to quickly get James and Helen up.
However, Sasha ignored her and went straight to the Cunninghams’ private room.
Inside, James and Helen were still kneeling on the ground.
The two of them felt uneasy as they wondered how things would end if Felicia found Matthew and Sasha.
In their opinion, if Felicia and Zion became in-laws, their combined power would skyrocket.
Perhaps even Matthew couldn’t beat them!
Just then, a noise sounded from the doorway. The two of them turned their heads in bewilderment to look.
When they saw Matthew and Sasha, their expressions changed.
Helen was anxious. “Sasha, w-why are you here? Your aunt is back. S-She’s looking for you…”
Sasha’s eyes turned red as she ran over and hugged her parents. “Mom, Dad, w-why didn’t you tell me when you’re facing difficulties?”
With a cold expression on his face, Matthew walked over to help his parents-in-law up.
“Dad, Mom, who made you kneel?” Matthew asked solemnly.
At this moment, Felicia ran over and hurriedly said, “Oh, it’s all a misunderstanding. It’s just a misunderstanding. Uh, James, I know you’re filial, but you didn’t have to kneel for Dad…”
Matthew shot her a glare. “Who gave you permission to speak? Get out!”
Felicia couldn’t help but feel annoyed. “I-Is this how you talk to your elders? I’m Sasha’s aunt, so I’m your aunt too. You—”
Matthew slapped the table and yelled, “Get out!”
Felicia was about to speak, but at this moment, Desmond had already instructed the waiter to drag her out of the private room.
James and Helen were still at a loss because they had no idea what had happened.
Just then, Zion walked over and said respectfully, “Mr. Cunningham, Mrs. Cunningham, I’m really sorry. Just now, I didn’t know that you two were actually Mr. Larson’s parents-in-law. I sincerely apologize for what happened just now. I’m really sorry!”
As Zion spoke, he bowed to express his sincerity.
James and Helen looked at each other, both of them feeling utterly confused.
Felicia had introduced Zion when he came in earlier.
They knew that he was one of the ten richest people in Eastcliff.
Yet, such an important figure actually came to bow and apologize to them?
What’s going on? Besides, aren’t he and Felicia in-laws? Why is he being so polite to us all of a sudden?
Similarly, Desmond walked over and followed suit, bowing and apologizing like Zion with the utmost humility.
Unable to hold back anymore, James whispered, “Sasha, w-what the hell is going on?”
Sasha looked dumbfounded too, as she didn’t know what was going on either.
She only knew Leanna and Lucia, so she didn’t know why Zion and Desmond were treating Matthew with such respect.
At this moment, Felicia was still yelling outside. “President Fowler, President Whittemore, what are you doing? Why are you treating Larson with so much respect? He’s just the Cunningham Family’s live-in son-in-law. You guys couldn’t have been fooled by him too, could you?”
The members of the Cunningham Family spoke up one after another, agreeing that Matthew was just a live-in son-in-law.
Zion’s expression was cold as he snapped, “Shut up, mad woman! What do you know? How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Larson! Do you know that Mr. Larson is the owner of Renaissance Mall? He holds 30% of the Renaissance’s shares! How dare you guys say that Mr. Larson’s a liar!”

This Is All True
When the Cunningham Family heard this, they were all stunned.
All of them knew Renaissance Mall.
Eric’s eyes were the first to widen. “H-How is this possible? Renaissance Mall is the pillar industry of the Telk Family. How could an outsider be allowed to hold shares? President Fowler, you must’ve been deceived by him—”
Desmond angrily rebutted, “What do you mean, deceive! The shares have all been transferred to Mr. Larson’s name. Besides, Mr. Larson’s people have already settled in the Renaissance and have completely taken over the management of the mall! Who are you to say that Mr. Larson is a liar?”
Everyone in the Cunningham Family widened their eyes.
It was one thing for Zion to say it, but if Desmond said the same, then it certainly wasn’t false.
But, how could this be?
Not only the Cunningham Family, but even James, Helen, and Sasha were puzzled.
James looked at Matthew. “Matthew, i-is that true?”
Matthew nodded. “Dad, I indeed bought a 30% share of Renaissance Mall! Also, Tiger and the others are already in charge of the mall’s management.”
James was stunned. At this moment, Helen suddenly exclaimed. “In that case, w-when Tiger asked us to go to the Renaissance to choose a store, that… that wasn’t a joke?”
James suddenly recovered himself. “Oh, my God. Tiger asked us to choose whatever store we wanted. Is… Is all of this true?”
Smiling, Matthew nodded. “Dad, Mom, I’ve already explained to Tiger. No matter which store you choose, it’s fine. Renaissance Mall is now our business, so I must leave the best store to you!”
James and Helen exchanged looks. The sudden good news left them both in a daze for a long time.
They thought about how in the past few days, the two of them had their minds in a whirl over the store, but they ended up with nothing.
Moreover, the two of them almost humiliated themselves, and they even planned to look for Jayden again.
Now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.
If they had listened to Tiger and had gone to Renaissance Mall to choose the store, the issue would probably be over a long time ago!
Sasha was shocked as well. Only then did she remember that Matthew had told her before that Renaissance Mall was now theirs.
At that time, she thought that Matthew was joking, but now, she knew that what Matthew said was all true.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Desmond and Zion treated Matthew with such respect.
Outside, the Cunningham Family was completely dumbfounded.
Even Felicia was stunned.
She always felt that she was the most capable person in the Cunningham Family.
But, she suddenly realized that compared to Matthew, she barely summed up to anything!
Zion, the in-law that she was proud to have, was also respectful toward Matthew, as if he was his henchman.
And she regarded Lucia, the princess of the Gonzalez Corporation, as her biggest backer.
But, in the end, she didn’t even have the right to speak in front of Matthew!
Is this Matthew’s strength? How did he get from being a useless live-in son-in-law to this?
She looked at the members of the Cunningham Family, who all had their heads lowered. All of them were extremely flustered now.
This time, they provoked so many parties and made such a big deal out of it. Would Matthew just let them be?
At this moment, Helen told Matthew and Sasha what happened earlier.
Upon hearing that Felicia indiscriminately made James and Helen kneel and even slapped them, Sasha shook with anger.
Matthew was frowning as well.
He knew that Felicia was going against him, but James and Helen didn’t ask him to come because they were protecting him.
In other words, his parents-in-law suffered a lot of grievances for him, so how could he possibly sit idly by and ignore it?
