Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 246

Sasha shot James a furious look. “Am I the one who lost my mind or is it actually you? Can’t you tell what Mr. Hughes meant with that?

By asking me to get in his car to complete the application, do you think that’s how it should be done? Dad, do you think that I should set aside my dignity and chasity for the sake of the company?”

James froze for a while before lashing back, “What are you speaking about, Sasha? Mr. Hughes is not that kind of person. You’ve misunderstood him! He really wants to help us out!”

With a forlorn look, Sasha chuckled. “He’s not that kind of person? Dad, how long have you known him? Are you so close to him to be able to tell that he really wants to help us out?

Why would he do that? Is it simply because you fawned on him a little? How did you live your life all these decades, Dad? In the world of reality we’re living in, interest comes first and there are no fairy tales!”

James’s face was pale from anger as he chided, “Sasha, what kind of attitude is this? I fawn on others for the sake of our family and for the both of you! How much longer could your mother and I live and how much money can we still spend? I’m doing all this for the both of you! Sasha, you’ve disappointed me greatly!”

“Sasha, how could you speak to Dad that way?” Demi asked immediately. “Mom and Dad have worked hard their whole lives and did everything for us. Sasha, you’ve changed! Look at what you’ve become now!

You were not like this in the past. Previously, you were really obedient to Mom and Dad! It must be Matthew’s fault. Don’t you know that you’re completely under his spell now?”

“Look how mature your younger sister is, Sasha,” Helen praised. “How did you become like this? But that’s alright since Matthew doesn’t have longer days to live. Our family will return to normal and I won’t

have to see the wretched face of that jinx anymore!”

Sasha trembled with anger as she began to realize that she should move out of the house. If she was to continue living with her family, she would suffer a mental breakdown soon.

In the midst of the noises around, the people began to take their seats, where only Sasha and her family were standing in the hall. No one came to welcome them and they were now in an incredibly awkward position without even having a place to sit. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Finally, the noises died down when Old Master Jackson appeared. He greeted the heads of the Ten Greatest Families and some other important figures of Eastcliff before settling down on his seat.

“I guess everyone knows why you’re invited here tonight, so I won’t say much. Our time is precious, so let’s not waste it on small talk. Let’s begin!” he announced in a booming voice.

Everyone present nodded their heads and Harvey stood out. “I’m terribly sorry, but Matthew is not here yet. He probably has fled to escape punishment and didn’t dare to show up. But I’ve already sent our men to look for him and they should be back soon. To not waste everybody’s time, I’ve decided to let his wife and family stand trial on his behalf!”

Everyone nodded in agreement while James exclaimed fretfully, “Mr. Jackson, we’ve cut our ties with Matthew since a long time ago!

My daughter has already divorced him and we have nothing to do with him! He’s a wicked criminal, whereas we are law-abiding and kind people! H-How could we stand trial on his behalf?”

Harvey snickered, “James, you seem to be pretty close with him the last time you attended the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party together!

So have you now parted ways with him because a great calamity is at hand? It’s useless, I tell you! Your family cannot distance yourselves from this incident! Men, bring their whole family forward!”
