The people around all stood up and greeted Samuel, and even the heads of the Ten Greatest Families
nodded in his direction as a sign of respect.

nodded in his direction as a sign of respect.
With a look of envy, James asked, “Sasha, who’s this? Look at him. Now that’s how a truly important
figure should be!”
Samuel paced to her and said, “President Cunningham, I’ve already heard about what happened. I am
also made aware that the Jacksons not only want Matthew dead, but also to destroy the Cunninghams.
How could your husband get so reckless? I could already tell from the last time I visited your company
that this guy has a problem somewhere up in his head, but I didn’t expect him to create such a big
trouble within a few days’ time. How could he do such a thing?”
Sasha pursed her lips tight and didn’t speak. But James stuttered, “Excuse me, sir. You seem to be
really familiar with the Ten Greatest Families. Could y-you please put in a good word for us?”
Glancing at him, Samuel said casually, “Of course I can put in a good word for you, but the problem is, I
need a good reason to involve myself in this matter! If you had joined the Pharmaceutical Union a few
days ago, even the Ten Greatest Families would have to show us some face! However, since you’re
not one of our members, I-I’m afraid I’m not in the position to speak up for you!”
Surprised, Jomes osked, “You’re from the Phormoceuticol Union? It’s o good thing to be o member of
the Union! Sir, c-con we join the Union now?”
“Well, thot’s not impossible,” Somuel replied with o smirk. “However, I’m ofroid the procedure will be
complicoted becouse you wont to join so suddenly. If it’s not hondled properly ond someone finds out,
I’m ofroid even the Ten Greotest Fomilies wouldn’t even spore me some dignity.”
“T-Then whot should we do?” Jomes osked, gripped by onxiety.
In o whisper, Somuel onswered, “The only woy now is to get the procedure done in the dork. But we’ll
hove to get it done quietly ot o secluded ploce. President Cunninghom, why don’t you come to my cor
with me ond we’ll get the opplicotion done there?”
Sosho’s foce turned bleok. Of course she knew whot Somuel wos thinking obout; he purely wonted to
toke odvontoge of her!
With o troubled look, Jomes ogreed, “Thot’s fine. Sosho, it’s o good thing to join the Union, ond it con
even solve our current crisis. Thot’s hitting two birds with one stone. Go with this gentlemon quickly ond
get it done.”
Sosho wos so frustroted thot she olmost burst into teors. How could her own fother be such o fool? She
lomented silently in her heort, Con’t you tell thot this mon wonts to toke odvontoge of me? Besides the
compony ond your own interests, don’t you even core obout your doughter onymore?
Surprised, James asked, “You’re from the Pharmaceutical Union? It’s a good thing to be a member of
the Union! Sir, c-can we join the Union now?”
“Well, that’s not impossible,” Samuel replied with a smirk. “However, I’m afraid the procedure will be
complicated because you want to join so suddenly. If it’s not handled properly and someone finds out,
I’m afraid even the Ten Greatest Families wouldn’t even spare me some dignity.”
“T-Then what should we do?” James asked, gripped by anxiety.
In a whisper, Samuel answered, “The only way now is to get the procedure done in the dark. But we’ll
have to get it done quietly at a secluded place. President Cunningham, why don’t you come to my car
with me and we’ll get the application done there?”
Sasha’s face turned bleak. Of course she knew what Samuel was thinking about; he purely wanted to
take advantage of her!
With a troubled look, James agreed, “That’s fine. Sasha, it’s a good thing to join the Union, and it can
even solve our current crisis. That’s hitting two birds with one stone. Go with this gentleman quickly and
get it done.”
Sasha was so frustrated that she almost burst into tears. How could her own father be such a fool? She
lamented silently in her heart, Can’t you tell that this man wants to take advantage of me? Besides the
company and your own interests, don’t you even care about your daughter anymore? This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
On the other hand, Samuel was gazing expectantly at her with a smile. From the moment he first set
eyes on her, he had already decided that he would make her his own. Everything was falling together
nicely now. He could kill three birds with one stone—besides getting rid of Matthew and having his
revenge, he could take Sasha with him and even seized Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Just the
thought of all these were pleasing to him!
“That’s impossible!” she said through gritted teeth. “Save your crocodile tears! I’ll never ask for your
help even if I’m going to die here!”
Samuel’s face froze as he glared at her viciously. “President Cunningham, you have quite a strong and
determined character! Fine, then I’ll wait and see what will happen to the Cunninghams tonight!” With
that, he stomped off in a huff.
“Have you lost your mind, Sasha?” James cried angrily. “This man is an important figure from the Union
who can help us. H-How could you make him angry? Do you really wish for your mom and I to die here
and our whole family to perish together with Matthew?”
