James and Helen had indeed changed their attitudes toward Matthew during this period of time where they indeed began to gradually accept him. In fact, James was not convinced of what Liam and Demi said, virtual-novel.net even asked Matthew for his side of the story.
However, now that virtual-novel.net knew what had transpired, virtual-novel.net felt really miserable. If it was something else, virtual-novel.net would have been on Matthew’s side. However, it involved the Lewis Family, who belonged to one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. How could the Cunningham Family even compete with them?
Demi immediately said, “Dad, a tiger can’t change its stripes! I have long said that Matthew is a terrible and useless man. Think about it, virtual-novel.net didn‘t even finish vocational school. He has no culture, knowledge or proper upbringing. Thus, virtual-novel.net is rude and barbaric. This kind of person looks alright on the surface with a little disguise. However, if virtual-novel.net gains just a little power, virtual-novel.net will really turn into a villain. You see, this time virtual-novel.net has even fought with others at a nightclub. Don’t you remember what nightclubs are for? What else can virtual-novel.net be fighting In a nightclub for? It must be due to jealousy over some vixen!”
“Matthew, oh, Matthew. My sister is being so good to you, yet this Is how you are treating her?”
Sasha anxiously retorted, “Demi, don’t talk nonsense! Matthew is not that kind of person! He must have done it for something else…”
Demi snorted. “Hehe, Sasha, you don‘t know virtual-novel.net well enough! In fact, you’ve really been fooled by him!”
An upset James asked, “Matthew, tell us. Why did you go to that nightclub tonight? Why did you get into a fight with someone?”
After a sigh, Matthew told the story of what happened earlier. Of course, virtual-novel.net didn‘t bring up the renovation materials. His narrative involved a mastermind who was out to destroy the Cunningham Family and since it wasn’t something that they could resolve, Matthew didn’t want them to worry about it.
Upon hearing Matthew’s story, James and the others were taken aback.
“So, it was Dickson who tried to kidnap Sasha and you were so angry that you went to settle the score with him?” James’ expression eased a bit.
No matter what, Matthew didn’t head to the nightclub to have fun, but rather, virtual-novel.net went there for Sasha’s sake, which made virtual-novel.net feel exceptionally relieved. She had also tightly grasped his hand, virtual-novel.net had always believed in him, but virtual-novel.net never expected that tonight’s affair to be this messy.
Demi, on the other hand, said indignantly, “Dad, this is all his side of the story. Who knows if it’s true or not? Hmph, Matthew, you can fool others, but you can’t fool me…”
A frowning Matthew was just about to speak when James slammed the table with his fist. “Shut up, Demi!”
Demi tried to speak. “Dad…”
James pointed at virtual-novel.net nose. “I told you to shut up! Didn’t you hear me? If you don’t shut up, from now on, you’re no longer welcome at the Cunningham Residence!”
She looked defiant, but eventually fell silent.
James then took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice, “Matthew, if this matter tonight is really as you have said, then you can’t be blamed for any of this. However, the problem is that now, this matter has become a big deal. The patriarch of the Lewis Family and his son are dead, so the Lewis Family will certainly not let it go. What can we do?”
Sasha hurriedly replied, “Dad, I don‘t believe that Donovan was killed by Matthew! I demand an autopsy, I will call the police and let them settle this matter!”
With a trembling voice, virtual-novel.net asked, “Y-Your mother is still in their hands, though. They also told us to meet them or virtual-novel.net will be in danger. Now that two members of the Lewis Family are dead and your mother was kidnapped by them, I‘m really worried that something will happen to her…”
Matthew replied softly, “It’s okay. I’ll definitely get virtual-novel.net home. However, I have a question. Wasn‘t virtual-novel.net supposed to be in the hospital? Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly head out?”
