Chapter 170


    “I’m not worthy?” Demi asked angrily. “Do you know who I am? My sister is Sasha Cunningham, the


    chairman of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. I’ll have you know that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is


    owned by my family!


    Who do you think you are? How dare you say I’m not worthy! From what I see, this card of yours is


    fake. You’re worried I might see right through you, yes?”


    The woman stared at Demi intensely before saying, “It is only a Diamond Card, so why would I, Leanna


    Sandel, stoop so low and lie about it?”


    Upon hearing the name, everyone in the room was shocked. Eyes wide, Liam asked, “You’re the


    Leanna Sandel? The Chairman of Creative Cloud Group? The heiress of the Sandel family; one of the


    Ten Great Families in all of Eastcliff?”


    “Clearly someone has done his homework!” Leanna sneered.


    Liam was stunned, along with several others in the room with him. Leanna Sandel is one of the biggest


    names in Eastcliff.


    The Sandel family are the big fishes among the top ten most influential families around. She herself is


    no less impressive; being the firstborn of the younger generation in her family, she single-handedly


    founded and grew Creative Cloud Group to a point where it’s personal assets are on par with the entire


    Sandel Family wealth.


    She’s the only person of the younger generation to be equal in standing whenpared with the other


    influential families of Eastcliff. In other words, we are currently in the presence of a powerhouse!


    A terrified Demi stood frozen in her tracks as she recalled her treatment toward Leanna mere moments


    ago. James immediately got to his feet and said, “Miss Sandel, I must apologize for my daughter’s


    actions.


    Please ept my sincere apologies on her behalf. We had no idea. Please do not let that upset you,


    Miss Sandel. Demi, what are you waiting for? Apologize to Miss Sandel this instant!”


    “M-Miss Sandel, I-I’m truly sorry for what I said,” Demi stuttered out of fear.


    “Seeing that Mr. Larson is not here, I’ll look for him elsewhere,” replied Leanna coldly.

    James rushed to intervene, saying, “Miss Sandel, l-let me call him now!”


    “Forget it! I’m sure Mr. Larson would have no interest in seeing the lot of you like this.” Waving her


    hand, Leanna dismissed his offer and left.


    Following that, the four of them looked at each other, feeling extremely embarrassed for what had


    taken ce. Demi said indignantly, “How could that have been her? What are the odds that Matthew


    actually saved the daughter of Leanna Sandel?”


    “Fortunately, the odds were in his favor and Matthew was able to save her daughter. Otherwise, who’s


    to say what would be of our family if any misfortunate had befallen the girl,” James added with a


    sigh.


    Demi nodded in agreement. “Well, you’ve got a point.”


    “Well, I beg to differ. I think Matthew had no good intentions in mind,” said Liam as he pressed his lips


    together.


    “It was probably Leanna’s looks that motivated Matthew to save the girl. He must have calcted his


    moves carefully, knowing very well that we have always wanted Sasha to divorce him.


    I bet he is already looking for his next partner. After all, rumor has it that Leanna is a single mother.


    Seeing how she is toward him, it is pretty obvious that she has fallen for his charms!”


    James and Helen’s expressions changed upon hearing this.


    “I think you’re right,” Demi agreed angrily. “Ugh! That Matthew is a real son of a b*tch. It has be


    second to nature for him to live off a woman. That is probably his intention in seducing Leanna Sandel.


    Then again, it takes two to tango, and she mindlessly took the bait! Mom, Dad, we must watch his


    moves closely!”


    James remained silent as he frowned intently. Helen suddenly responded, saying, “I think that this is


    actually not a bad thing at all.


    If the two of them really do get together, Matthew would be sure to divorce Sasha! That would put an


    end to our problem once and for all.”


    “That’s true,” said Demi as she nodded in agreement.


    “This cannot happen! Mom, Dad, think about it.” Liam intervened. “As far as Matthew is concerned, he


    has not taken even the slightest advantage of our family. If he gets together with Leanna Sandel, he’ll


    no doubt get revenge on us. By that time, we won’t even stand a chance.”
