The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 931
You’re Heartless
Dumbfounded, Helen exchanged a look with James as deathly silence fell over them. This time, both of them had lost 10 million, and both of them had no right to lecture the other.
A few minutes passed before she finally broke the silence with a sigh. “Forget it, the money is already gone, but at least we’re safe. No matter what, we can’t let Sasha find out about this!”
James glared at her. “She still doesn’t know about the money I lost, but you have already exposed yourself. If the BOD finds out, the person in charge of the pharmacy might even be changed! Whatever, let it be since Liam has already helped you to fill the gap, but still, we can’t allow them to check the accounts of the construction company. Otherwise, both of us will have to return the money and we probably won’t get any more money in the future.”
Bobbing her head, Helen agreed to his idea. At this moment, her cell phone rang. After taking a glance at the caller ID, she frowned deeply as it was Chloe who was calling her.
“Why is she calling you now?” James asked angrily after stealing a peek at her phone. “Don’t pick up her call!”
However, Helen sighed. “It’s alright, let’s listen to what she has to say. After all, she’s my sister!”
After picking up the call, Chloe’s cries immediately echoed through her ears. “Helen, please come out. I need to see you!”
Startled, she asked, “Where are you?”
Chloe cried, “I’m outside of Grand Garden, and the security is not allowing me to enter. You’re my only blood and kin in Eastcliff, Helen…”
Her cries made Helen soft-hearted. “Hang on, I’ll get the security to let you in and—”
Before she could finish, James slammed the table and roared, “I dare you to let her in! Once she sets foot in here, I’ll finish her off!”
“Wait a minute!” Helen hurriedly said into the phone. “I-I’m going out to meet you.”
“You’re not allowed to go out either!” James added angrily.
Glaring at him, Helen snapped, “That’s enough, James! That’s my sister we’re talking about. What’s the problem if I go out and meet her for a while? How could you be so heartless?”
“Your sister is the heartless one for suing you! Can’t you see what she’s trying to do? The reason she filed a lawsuit against you in court today was to get some money out of you, and now that that plan has foiled, she’s here crying and trying to gain your pity so you’ll give her some money instead. Helen Freeman, how many times are you going to fall for her tricks until you realize what she’s doing?”
With a frown, she waved her hand in annoyance. “Alright, I got it! I’ll play it by ear.”
When she reached the gates of her housing complex, she caught sight of Chloe and Minerva standing in a corner with a couple of security personnel, who were watching them like hawks as they didn’t want Chloe and Minerva sneaking in.
“Mom, Aunt Helen is here!” Minerva pointed out anxiously.
Rushing up to Helen, Chloe sobbed, “You’re finally here, Helen! Please help us!”
Even Minerva was looking very sad and pitiful as she cried, “I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I’ve learned from my mistake this time. I shouldn’t have lied to everyone. It’s my fault that I disappointed you when you’re so good to me. Don’t worry, I won’t tell another fib in the future or lie to you again.”
If Helen had heard this in the past, she would have definitely fallen for it, but she and her family were deeply disappointed after what happened today. With her brows knitted tightly together, she gazed at Chloe. “What happened now? How can I help you?”
“Helen, we negotiated with the families of the victims,” Chloe hurriedly began. “As long as we compensate them, they are willing to forgive Tate, and he’ll be able to get away with only a few years in jail. Please lend us some money so that we can settle the compensation fees, okay?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 932
This Amount of Money Is Nothing to You
Although annoyed, Helen still asked in concern, “How much are the compensation fees?”
“F-Five million.”
Widening her eyes in shock, Helen exclaimed, “What?! 5 million? Y-You want me to fork out 5 million for you?”
“I-It’s 5 million each person…” Chloe added in a whisper with her head hanging low.
Dumbstruck, Helen said, “5 million for each casualty? That means it’s 20 million for four casualties! What nonsense are you speaking about? How the hell am I supposed to get this amount of money for you?”
With her head still hanging low, Chloe muttered after a long moment of silence, “Um, Helen… maybe we’ll need 23 million because… we have to compensate another person who was injured.”
Is she serious?! Helen thought, so angry that she almost suffered a stroke. At that moment, she had to look at her sister in a brand new light. The innocent and friendly sister she once knew was gone, and in her place was a vain and selfish woman. People change indeed, she thought with a sigh and waved her hand. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have money.”
Panic-stricken, Chloe stammered, “But Helen, your apartment alone is worth tens of millions, the market value of your company is worth more than a billion, and you have Wellness Herbary and the pharmacy in your name. In addition, the South Suburb that belongs to Matthew’s construction company is said to be worth tens of billions now. So, how is it possible that you don’t have the money? All I need is just 23 million! Please help me save Tate, Helen. He’s still young and can’t go to jail at the prime of his youth. His life is done for if he does!”
“Aunt Helen, this little bit of money is nothing to your family. In fact, it’s just the tip of an iceberg, but to us, it’s enough to save our family. In the past, Mom was willing to give you half of her income, and as the saying goes, kindness begets kindness. We’re not asking for half of your family fortune, just this small amount of money. Th-There’s no reason for you to turn us down!” Minerva added.
Glaring at them, Helen replied, “I’m grateful for Chloe’s help back then, but that doesn’t mean that I should give my all to help her out. You should have some conscience as a person too. I’ll definitely help you guys out even if it costs me everything I have if you guys are in the right. But, ask yourselves honestly whether you are in the right this time, and ask yourselves how you’ve been treating us from the moment you returned until now. We paid for the compensation the last time Tate hit someone with a car. After that, you guys were the ones who caused the trouble with Mr. Harrison, the Lachs and that 10 million incident. I’ve always regarded both of you as my own children, but ask yourselves how you’ve treated me instead. While thinking of me as a dumb fool whom you can easily manipulate, you are jealous and keep trying to cheat money out of us. All this shows that you’ve never regarded me as your relative and you only come to me when you’re in trouble. So, why do I have to help you guys out again this time and even fork out 23 million for you?”
Her words sent Chloe and Minerva into a moment of silence, and after a while, Minerva muttered softly, “I’ve really realized all my mistakes, Aunt Helen. I’ll definitely change from now on and won’t ever do something like this again. I’m begging you, please save Tate. Just this time, okay?”
When she was speaking, Helen saw a sparkle of joy in her eyes that was also contemptuous, and she knew that she wasn’t sincere about her apology at all. Again, Minerva was lying to her just to get the compensation fees, and she had never reflected on her own actions!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 933
You’ll Die a Horrible Death
Helen waved her hands. “You don’t have to apologize anymore. Like I said earlier, I don’t have the money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t want to be involved in this incident. I’ve advised Tate many times, but he never listened to me and he’s getting his just deserts now.” With that said, she turned and left, ignoring both of them.
Nevertheless, Chloe rushed up to her anxiously and tried to stop her from leaving, but she was immediately blocked by the security personnel because she had stepped into the compounds of the housing complex. “Helen, please help save Tate! I’m really out of my wits and you’re my only sibling! You have to save Tate because he’s your nephew!
If anything happens to him, I don’t want to carry on living anymore! Do you really wish to see me dead in front of you, Helen? Helen Freeman, how can you be so vicious? You’ll die a horrible death!” With all her might, Chloe shouted and yelled for Helen to turn back. In the beginning, she was pleading, but at the end, she was simply screaming in frustration.
When Helen completely disappeared from her sight, she slumped to the ground and started wailing while Minerva walked up to her and lashed out furiously, “Mom, so that’s your so-called relative, your blood sister! All the things she’s doing shows that she holds no regard for you as her sister! You even treated her so well in the past! There must be something wrong with you for doing that. Get up now, we’re not going to beg her over this.”
Still slumped on the floor, Chloe asked, “What are we going to do, then? Your brother… he’ll definitely be given the mandatory sentence! How are we supposed to get such a huge amount of compensation fees?”
Sighing deeply, Minerva plopped down next to her. “I’ve never met relatives like her! What kind of person is she? 23 million is just pocket money to a wealthy family like them. How can she call herself your sister when she doesn’t even care about the life of her own nephew?” she uttered angrily through gritted teeth.
Despite that, nobody bothered about them no matter how much they cursed. In the end, they helped each other up and left the place helplessly.
When Helen was back home, James immediately asked, “So, what happened? What did she say?”
Instead of answering him, Helen went straight to bed without a word, which made him mad. “Didn’t you hear me asking you a question? What exactly happened? Don’t tell me that you’re going to help them out again. Get up and tell me what happened…”
An argument ensued until Sasha and Demi came upstairs in a hurry to intervene. When Sasha asked them what happened, only then did Helen tell them everything that happened, and they were all speechless after hearing the story.
Demi was the first to vent out. “I’ve never encountered such shameless people! We just walked out of court in the morning because they sued us, and they immediately came begging us for more than 20 million in the evening! What’s in their heads? Don’t they feel ashamed at all?”
Slamming the table, James added, “That family is just a bunch of brazen scoundrels! They must have no shame at all for saying things like that. Didn’t they pick up any humility or decency while they were living abroad?”
Sasha sighed. Through this incident, she was now seeing the Campbells in a new light, and they were more shameless than she thought was possible.
When Sasha left the house with Matthew the next day, they ran into Chloe and Minerva who were squatting at the entrance of their neighborhood. Throwing herself in front of their car, Minerva yelled, “Tell your mom to come out and meet us, Sasha Cunningham! Does she think that she can stay at home forever?”
Frowning, Sasha asked, “What’s your problem, Minerva Campbell? What does this have to do with my mother? Get lost before I call the cops on you!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 934
Playing Rogue for Money
The look on Minerva’s face turned grim and she shouted, “Fine, go ahead and call the cops! I dare you! Once you call the cops, I’ll tell the world about the scandal your family is involved in!”
Startled, Sasha asked, “What scandal?”
Minerva snorted. “Your family only made it through the tough times because of the money my mom gave you, and now you guys are turning your backs on us after you’ve struck it rich. We were so kind to you back then, but you’re avoiding us at all costs when we asked for a small favor. What will your business partners think of you once this scandal is out? Sasha Cunningham, if you don’t want to ruin the reputation of your company, you better give us the 23 million. Or else, I’ll—”
Before she could finish, Sasha beckoned to the security with her hand. “Security, get her away from the car.”
Instantly, a couple of security personnel came forward and dragged Minerva away while she shouted in anger, “I’m warning you, Sasha Cunningham! If you don’t give us that money, I’ll bring you down with me! Reputation means nothing to us penniless people, but as the president of such a huge corporation like Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, you’ll lose more than 23 million if your reputation is ruined. Sasha Cunningham, think it over carefully—”
Turning away from her, Sasha drove away and after a few minutes, she said in frustration, “What kind of person is she? Matthew, why are the Campbells such a bunch of shameless rogues?”
“Well, that’s what one does when one is desperate,” Matthew answered with a shrug. “Moreover, Mom has been spoiling them too much ever since they returned, and now, they have the habit of coming to us for everything.”
“We shouldn’t have let these people have their ways!” Sasha agreed.
Matthew nodded. In fact, he had already mentioned in the beginning that Tate and Minerva had unpleasant personalities that would get them into trouble sooner or later, but he didn’t expect them to cook up so much trouble in such a short period of time.
However, the most important reason was, they always felt that they were superior to others because they were raised abroad, and they never cared or considered the consequences of their actions.
In addition, Helen had helped them out so many times that it gave them the idea that someone would always clean up their mess regardless of the trouble they caused. Therefore, they became more brazen, and Tate really got into some serious trouble this time.
In an accident that caused four fatalities and one injury, it was impossible for Tate to escape punishment.
For the entire morning, Minerva and Chloe waited outside of Grand Garden, and they stopped Demi and Liam when they left the place. However, Demi was not one to mess with, and she slapped Minerva a few times on her face before getting the security to drag her to the side of the road. Then, she drove away arrogantly.
The same happened with James when he came out, and he simply called the cops to have the women taken away.
As for Helen, she decided not to step out of the house when she learned that Minerva and Chloe were outside waiting.
In the afternoon, while Matthew was attending to a patient, he suddenly received a call from Sasha. “Matthew, please make a reservation at Shanghai Nights,” she said in an annoyed voice.
“Why?” he asked, surprised.
Sighing, she answered, “All our relatives are here, so we have to buy them dinner tonight.”
“Why are they here at this time?” he asked in concern. “Are they here because of Tate?’
Helplessly, she answered, “Of course it’s because of him! I’m out of wits with these people. There’s simply no end to their nonsense!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 935
Arrogant Company Presidents
Even Matthew was dumbstruck. Hats off to Chloe and Minerva, escalating this issue by bringing Helen’s entire family here. Looks like they’re planning to use them to pressure her into paying the compensation fees!
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements for this evening,” he said in a solemn voice and hung up. Then, he gave Leanna a call. “Hello, President Sandel. Are you free tonight? I would like to ask a favor from you.”
“No problem!” she agreed readily.
After that, Matthew called Joseph and then Bonds, the wealthy man whom Tate hit with his car previously. Tonight, Matthew planned to gather everyone and teach the entire Freeman family a lesson. When everything was in place, he then called Shanghai Nights and made a reservation for a private dining room.
Soon, it was half-past six in the evening, and the others were already there when Matthew and Sasha reached the restaurant. Almost everyone from the Freeman family was there. Not only was Chloe and her family present, but Sasha’s uncle and his family were there as well.
Her uncle was Norman Freeman, and his wife was Paula Dawson while Jojo was their daughter.
Previously, when Sasha had just taken the position of president, Norman and Paula had come to Eastcliff with Jojo and asked Sasha to give her a job. However, Norman and Paula were full of complaints and said that Jojo should become the president of the company. They even went as far as to ask Sasha to give her position to Jojo and took away her company car.
After that, Jojo went out with friends and hit Leanna in a car accident. At that time, Helen wanted Matthew to take the blame in her stead. If it wasn’t the fact that he had saved Leanna’s daughter, things would have gotten out of hand.
Later, when Jojo was in charge of the herbrary, she caused a mess again by buying a batch of unqualified herbs. Seeing that the situation was turning out bad, Norman and Paula had taken off with Jojo in the dead of the night and didn’t dare to return to Eastcliff again.
This time, they had returned to Eastcliff immediately upon hearing that everything had been settled.
As for the rest of Sasha’s relatives from the Freeman family, Matthew had also met them before. Amongst them, the eldest would be her third granduncle, Hector Freeman, who was seated in the middle of the table.
James and his family were seated at the far end of the table while the seats surrounding Hector were occupied by the other members of the Freeman Family. Close to the door, two spots were left empty for Sasha and Matthew.
When she saw them entering the room, Paula snorted. “Both of you are very busy company presidents with tight schedules, huh? What arrogance! All the elders at this table have been waiting for such a long time just for the both of you. Tsk, people forget their manners when they’re wealthy!”
“That’s true!” Minerva chimed in. “Granduncle Hector is already so old, but you made him wait for such a long time. Do you even have any respect for your elders, Sasha and Matthew?”
Both of them were speechless as they had rushed here right after work. Also, it was only half-past six now which was considered early for dinner, so these people were simply trying to nitpick.
“My apologies, everyone. In fact, Sasha wanted to come earlier, but we were held up because I was busy,” Matthew explained with a smile.
Casting him a glance, Sasha couldn’t help but give his hand a squeeze because she knew that he was trying to direct their frustrations toward him. As a husband, he had never allowed his wife to suffer any grievance, and this was the main reason why she loved him so much.
Chortling, Paula then sneered, “Did you say you were busy? So, a janitor needs to work overtime as well? Are you the only janitor in that huge hospital, Matthew? I suppose the bathrooms will be unavailable if you aren’t there to clean it?”
Instantly, everyone burst into laughter as they looked at Matthew with ridicule and contempt.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 936
A Crazy Order
“You make it sound so bad, Aunt Paula!” Sasha exclaimed, annoyed. “Matthew is now a department director with patients, so of course he has to tend to them.”
Surprised, Paula scoffed, “Department director? Are you kidding me? He didn’t even finish technical school, did he? How can he possibly be a department director with his qualifications? Is he only treating animals?”
Once again, everyone roared in laughter. Sarcastic and mean, Paula had always been infamous for her verbal attacks.
Seeing that, Helen quickly tried to smooth things over. “Cut it out. Since everyone is here, let’s place the order. Sasha and Matthew, take your seats quickly. Uncle Hector is a rare guest, so we have to be a good host today.”
After they slipped into their seats, the waitress came over and gave out menus. However, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock when they saw just how high the prices of the food were!
At this moment, Minerva ordered, “Get us ten Golden Rice!”
Surprised, everyone turned to her, and Norman’s eyes were big and wide. “Are you crazy, Minerva? Why are you having rice at a place like this? Look at the amazing items on the menu. There’s Australian lobsters which cost more than 3,000 a piece. This is what we should order. Oh, look! There’s even abalone. That’s pricey. Well, let’s have two pieces for each of us! Oh my, there’s also Kobe beef here…” As he spoke, he flipped through the menu and deliberately picked the most expensive dishes.
Minerva simply laughed. “You have no idea, do you, Uncle Norman? The Golden Rice here is prepared by a famous chef from China, and one portion costs 20,000! Also, he only makes ten portions a day, and we won’t be able to have it if we don’t order in time.”
Everyone’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “Goodness! How could rice be so expensive? Quick, give us ten portions, then!”
In the room, only Sasha’s youngest aunt, Heidi Freeman, seemed a little embarrassed as she muttered, “The food here is too expensive. Why are we even having such expensive fried rice? Wh-Why don’t we look for another restaurant? This is only a family gathering, not a business meeting. Th-There’s no need to come to such an expensive place…”
Glancing at her, Matthew thought that she was a sensible person. During his wedding with Sasha, Heidi was the only one who had given them her blessings, and he never forgot it.
“Are you listening to yourself, Heidi?” Paula snapped. “Sasha is the president of a company. I don’t think such a small amount of money matters to her. How much can a meal possibly cost? Also, it’s been a while since Uncle Hector dined out, so we have to serve him the best dishes.”
A few seconds later, Heidi replied, “But you know that he doesn’t like seafood. So, why are you ordering so much seafood?”
Blushing, Paula waved her hand. “I’m just ordering some so that the young ones can try it. Let me order as I please, and you do the same. Otherwise, just shut your mouth and keep your thoughts to yourself.”
Hurriedly, Helen chuckled awkwardly. “Alright now. Let’s have a good meal since it’s rare for Uncle Hector to come for a visit. Just order whatever you like.”
With a snort, Minerva said, “Of course we can order whatever we like. You’re so generous because you don’t have to pay anything.”
Everyone was surprised at her statement and Norman asked, “Who’s paying if not them?”
“Somehow, Matthew managed to get himself a Supreme Card here, and he gets the bill waived no matter what he orders,” she answered expressionlessly.
Norman’s eyes bulged. “R-Really? Goodness, we have to order more, then. Excuse me, give us one of every item on your menu. No, hang on. Make it ten portions each! Also, bring me all the cigarettes and alcohol you have, including those in your storage!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 937
The Boss Here Is a Miser
It was the first time the waiter encountered such an order, so he was dumbfounded. “Sir, we have many items on the menu, and all of you can’t even finish it if we serve one portion each. If you want ten of each—”
“That’s none of your business!” Norman barked while glaring at him. “I can pack it for takeaway if I can’t finish it, right?”
Paula chuckled. “That’s right. We can take them away if we can’t finish it. We don’t need to pay for it, anyway. Go now and get all the food ready for us!”
As everyone roared in laughter, the waiter merely stood there awkwardly. Since he had never experienced such a situation, he had no idea how to deal with it at all.
Then, Matthew spoke up. “Uncle Norman, I’m afraid this is not possible. The bill can be waived with the Supreme Card on the premise that there’s no wastage and no takeaway is allowed. If we can’t finish the food to a certain amount, we’ll be charged double for it.”
These were the conditions he had come up with at the last moment after he learned of Norman and Paula’s personalities. If there were really no charges involved, they might actually empty out the entire building.
Norman froze for a second. “There’s such a condition? What a sh*tty condition!”
“Exactly!” Paula agreed in a huff. “It sounded so generous when it was first mentioned that the bill can be waived, but in the end, such a condition comes along with it. What a bluff! The boss here is such a miser!”
Sasha opened her mouth and wanted to argue with her, but Matthew stopped her because she would only get snubbed if she started an argument with her. However, with this condition, Norman became more sensible with the order. Still, he only ordered the priciest items with the menu in his hands.
Unfortunately for them, they weren’t in time for the ten portions of Golden Rice as the famous chef had already returned to his home country.
After the way Norman and Paula placed the order as they liked, Matthew took a glance at the order and reckoned that the food would cost more than three hundred thousand. These people are really going to stuff their faces full tonight!
However, that was not the end yet. When they were ordering drinks, Norman straight away asked for the 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, but Minerva stopped him. “Uncle Norman, forget that Lafite. There’s Cheval Blanc in this place, and that’s what we’re ordering!”
Confused, he asked, “How much does that cost? This Lafite costs at least tens of thousands a bottle.”
She giggled before she answered, “This restaurant has a batch of superior Cheval Blanc, and each bottle costs thirty thousand.”
“Are you serious? There’s no way it’s so expensive!” he exclaimed in shock.
“Of course I’m serious. The owner of the place personally purchased that Cheval Blanc, and as a wealthy man with a net worth of more than a hundred billion, do you think he would settle for some cheap wine?”
Instantly, Norman was intrigued. “Then… Then let’s have that Cheval Blanc. More importantly, your Uncle Hector has never tried it before.”
Speechless, Sasha thought, Just admit it if you want it for yourself and cut the pretense.
In the end, the waiter returned with four boxes of Cheval Blanc, and the Freemans rushed up to scrutinize it. Finally, they came to the conclusion that it wasn’t any cheap wine, so they each took a bottle in their hands as they took pictures with it and posted it on their social media. After making a fuss over it for a while, they finally opened a bottle to enjoy the rich, flavorful wine.
As for Minerva, she already had her eyes on the leftover wine. Knowing that these people in the room wouldn’t be able to finish all four boxes, she planned to bring some bottles with her and make a killing by selling it outside.
Soon, their food arrived, and all of them started eating greedily. While eating, they exclaimed in delight and complimented the tasty food, saying that they had never tasted anything so delicious. That was especially true for Norman and Paula, who kept stuffing their faces with food, terrified that someone else would be quicker than themselves. Of course, they didn’t forget the wine; they began drinking aggressively while they ate. After all, just a sip would cost more than ten thousand, so they really didn’t want to lose out.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 938
You Shouldn’t Forget Your Roots
As Matthew and Sasha sat next to them, they watched in silence as those people ate like beasts, looking as though they had arrived here on an empty stomach after starving themselves for weeks.
After a few rounds of food and drinks, their bellies were full, and they finally started with the main topic. Hector downed a glass of wine before he narrowed his eyes and said, “Helen, I heard that you recently had an argument with Chloe. Is that true? I remember when you were young, you and Chloe were the closest. In addition, she’s a really kind person who helped you out a lot back then. You shouldn’t forget your roots. You need to always help out your kin whenever you can.”
Almost immediately, everyone else chimed in to express their agreement, as though Helen would be the biggest sinner if she refused to help.
With a sigh, Helen then replied, “You don’t know the entire situation, Uncle Hector. I would like to help them out as well, but they really went overboard this time!” Then, she went on to tell them everything Chloe and her family did after their return from abroad.
When she finished, Heidi knitted her brows. “How could you do this, Chloe? Helen and her family have been really kind to you. How could you guys bite the hand that fed you?”
“You know nothing!” Chloe argued in anger. “You’ve only heard her side of the story, and you didn’t even ask me about the real situation.”
“So, tell us then. What’s the real situation?” Heidi asked in return.
“My mom is a klutz, so I’ll explain it for her instead.” Minerva stood up and interrupted the conversation. “First of all, I would like to ask Aunt Helen this. How much did my mother give you out of her monthly salary when you first got married to Uncle James?”
“Why are you bringing this up now?” Helen asked in annoyance.
“Of course I have to bring this up!” she shouted. “My mother’s salary was a mere few hundred per month, but she gave you guys half of it. A few hundred was all she had, and she had to share it with you all. You should repay her kindness back then with more than what she gave. I’m not even asking for half of your assets now, but you should at least treat us better after our return, shouldn’t you?”
“Are you saying that we treated you guys poorly?” Demi argued furiously. “Think back on the things you guys did. First, Tate hit someone with a car, and we were the ones who paid the compensation. After that, we signed the contract for your dad and settled the trouble Tate caused with the Harrisons, not forgetting the issue with the Lachs. Later, you cheated a hundred million from my mom because of your boy toy, and seven million was ripped off from you. With the three million that you secretly pocketed away, you bought the motorcycle and caused such a serious accident. Now, you’re shifting the blame on us shamelessly, saying that the accident only happened because my mom gave you the money. Can you be any more shameless than this, Minerva? Would any of this have happened if you had returned the three million to us?”
Heads turned to Minerva, and she answered nonchalantly without even flinching, “With all our elders seated here in this room, you shouldn’t twist the truth to your advantage! We’ll speak about all those issues one fine day, but I would like to ask you this now. When we just came back, who was the one who drove us out when we were living at your place? Also, who was the one who declared that we’re not allowed into your house anymore?”
“The nerve of you to bring this up, Minerva Campbell!” Demi snapped. “The reason I didn’t allow you guys into our house was that you brought your scoundrel friends home and messed up the house—”
“Listen carefully, Demi Cunningham!” Minerva shouted, cutting her off. “Those are my friends, and they’re educated university graduates, not some scoundrel as you said. They didn’t mess up the house either!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 939
Have You Forgotten Your Relatives Now That You’re Rich?
An argument broke out between Demi and Minerva, and everyone simply felt annoyed after listening to them for a while.
Norman slammed the table said in anger, “That’s enough! Shut up, both of you! Why are the both of you arguing about this? There’s no point to it at all. Regardless, even if it’s Minerva’s family that was wrong in this matter, you guys shouldn’t say things like that. It’s so disappointing! We’re a family, so how could you say that you’re not allowing them into your house again? Do you mean to say that you don’t want us to visit your place as well, Demi?”
Upon hearing that, the rest of the family glared at Demi furiously, and she was dumbstruck. “Uncle Norman, I-I didn’t mean that!”
Paula snorted indifferently. “That’s what you say, but who knows what you have on your mind? Despite Chloe helping your family so much back then, you still threw her children out of your place now. We wouldn’t even dare to think of visiting your place! Sheesh, it’s true that people change when they become wealthy. You don’t even want your family anymore! Norman, I think we better go home. Now that Helen is rich, she’s no longer your sister, and she wouldn’t give two hoots about anything we say to her anymore.”
Those cruel and mean words made Helen’s blood boil, and her face turned scarlet. “Paula, don’t spout nonsense! Let’s speak facts!”
After slamming the table loudly, Paula retorted, “Looking at the facts, you guys are still the ones in the wrong! Even if the young ones made a mistake, you should put emphasis on educating them as their elder instead of throwing them out of the house just because you’re loaded. Uncle Hector, say something. Is this how an elder should be?”
“Exactly.” Hector agreed with her while nodding slowly. “How can you say things like that, Helen? That’s so disappointing!”
With all of her family members blaming her, Helen felt incredibly wronged, and her eyes turned red from the frustration she was feeling.
Next to her, James was holding his fists. If Hector wasn’t here, he would have blown his top already a long time ago.
Again, Minerva started to criticize and shift all the blame on the Cunninghams. Despite Demi’s efforts to argue with her several times, the Freemans still ended up siding with Minerva, especially Norman and Paula, who kept speaking up for her.
As Sasha listened to all of it, a look of frustration took over her face, and she whispered to Matthew, “All of them are so biased. They keep speaking up for the Campbells. It’s too much!”
“That’s just normal,” Matthew replied in a soft voice.
Startled, she asked, “Why is that normal?”
“If they can help the Campbells to get some money from us today, then they will have an excuse in the future to ask us for money. It’s not a family gathering tonight, and neither are these people here to judge the matter. To put it simply, everyone is here just to get some money from us.”
Sasha was dumbfounded. “How… can they do this? Why should we give them money?”
While glancing at her, he answered, “A man is innocent until people are jealous of his wealth. Just because you’re rich, they think that you have to share your wealth with them.”
“T-This doesn’t make sense at all!” she uttered in frustration.
However, Matthew merely grinned. That was just the way some relatives were; they would look down on someone when that person was penniless, but they would try ways and means to get money out of that same person when he or she was wealthy. If that person refused to give in to their demands, they would even curse him or her for being a rich but heartless person. Regardless, that was the reason why some relatives were difficult to deal with.
After debating for a while, it was Hector who slammed the table this time. “All said and done, you guys are the ones at fault this time, Helen! We’re a family and the closest people to each other. How could you do something like this? I know you’ve made some money over the years, but still, you shouldn’t forget your origins!”

They Just Don’t Have the Money
Helen was so mad that she had no words to say as she swung her hands helplessly.
At the side, Norman nodded and added, “I think Uncle Hector is right. This is just my two cents, Helen. Tate is your nephew. Are you really going to ignore this issue as his aunt? It’s just twenty-three million, an amount that is nothing to your family! Why don’t you come up with this money and clear the mess in front of us first? We can’t let Tate go to jail!”
Everyone nodded, and a chatter broke out as they tried to convince Helen to fork out the money.
Enraged, the veins on James’ neck were bulging, and he was close to throwing his temper when Matthew hurriedly tugged his arm while muttering softly, “Don’t be angry, Dad. Let’s wait and see.”
Even though James was still gritting his teeth, he finally relaxed his fists. Actually, he was close to flipping the table a few seconds ago.
“I don’t agree with you, Uncle Norman,” Demi said, infuriated. “Why should we pay for the compensation when it’s his family’s problem? It doesn’t make sense at all!”
“How could you say something like that, Demi?” Norman asked with a frown. “That’s because they can’t afford to pay for it. Do you think they’ll ask for your help if they can afford it themselves?”
“So we’ll have to pay for it just because they can’t? That’s unreasonable!”
“We’re a family. Shouldn’t you help out your aunt when her family is in trouble? The issue this time is very serious, and Tate will go to jail if we don’t pay the compensation fees. Do you really want to see him go to jail?”
“Hmph!” Paula snorted. “I can’t believe you claimed that you’re the closest sisters. So much for that! If it weren’t for Chloe’s financial support back then, I think you guys would have starved to death a long time ago. None of you would have made it until this day. Now that you’re rich, you look down on others and bite the hand that fed you!”
“Then… Then why aren’t you guys helping out? As you said that we’re a family, we’re all equally close to each other!” Demi spat.
Paula chortled and replied, “We aren’t that capable; that’s why. Do you think we have twenty-three million? Unlike us, this little amount of money is nothing to you, and it’s just your spare cash! If the amount is only hundreds of thousands, they wouldn’t have needed your help, and we could have helped them out ourselves. Am I right, everyone?”
The others followed suit, saying that they would be willing to help out if the amount was small, which made Demi so angry that she was at a loss for words.
At this point, Matthew suddenly said, “At the end of the day, the main problem is the high compensation fees, huh? If the compensation fees are smaller, I think everyone would be willing to help, actually. Mom, Dad, why don’t we take care of this twenty-three million?”
A smile broke out on Paula’s face. “Yes, you got it right! There’s still a reasonable person in your family after all! You’re unexpectedly sensible, Matthew.”
Simultaneously, James, Helen and Demi glared at him, wondering what he was planning to do by speaking up for the other side now. Even Sasha was equally confused, for she didn’t know what he meant either. All of them wanted to ask him, but Matthew stopped them by giving them a look.
Just then, the door suddenly swung open and Bonds burst into the room in a huff with a group of men.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and Norman muttered, “What are you doing? You must have walked into the wrong room—”
Without waiting for him to finish, Bonds grabbed him from the back of his neck and pressed him on the table. “This is none of your business. Shut up!”
The men around Bonds glared fiercely at Norman, and he immediately shut his mouth, too afraid to say another word.
After glancing at Chloe, Bonds asked, “You’re Tate’s mother, aren’t you? Your son hit me with a car last time. Let’s settle this issue now, shall we?”
