NovelEnglishChapter 735
All the while, Sasha listened on with an awkward look on her face. Why is she being so hostile toward me?
She had no idea that Minerva was a petty narcissist. When she saw Demi, she was so full of herself, for she
assumed that the Cunninghams were all plain-looking. When she realized that Sasha was far prettier than her,
she was immediately irked. Therefore, she chose to criticize Sasha's clothing to showcase her sense of
superiority as someone who returned from abroad.
However, Chloe didn't seem to notice anything wrong about Minerva's criticisms. Instead, she chuckled. "Oh,
Sasha. | think your cousin is right. Your clothes don't match at all, but this isn't your fault. This is how things are
in Cathay. This place is just not as advanced as compared to other countries. Minerva studied fashion design, so
why don't you let her help match your clothes?"

The Campbells spoke with an air of superiority, as if having lived abroad somehow made them better than the
Cunninghams. It made James and Helen feel awkward, but neither dared speak up against them. "By the way,
where is Jonah? Hasn't he returned?" Liam asked all of a sudden.
Upon hearing that, Minerva beamed. "Oh, my father has to dine with the company's regional president of the
Floria Continent. You should bear in mind that my father will be the managing director of the company's branch
in Cathay from now on. If he is able to accomplish the major project that the company has undertaken as of late,
he will be promoted to becoming the regional president of Cathay. He is definitely considered as one of the
higher-ups even in the headquarters, so the regional president will of course have to treat him with respect.”
Minerva seemed so self-conceited as she spoke. There was also a look of contempt in her eyes when she glanced
at Sasha and her family, which Matthew couldn't help but perceive as her blatantly showing off her status and
wealth.
On the other hand, Helen wore a smile on her face. "Oh, your father did a great job throughout the years. Chloe,
I'm glad that you finally made it to the top."
Upon hearing that, Minerva cut her short. "Aunt Helen, that's not the right way to phrase it. We never needed to
strive to stay afloat. Unlike you, we have always been at the top when we lived abroad. Besides, my father has
always been working as a manager in the company, so his monthly salary could amount to your incfor over
decades. Therefore, we never experienced any struggles. On the contrary, you must have had a hard twhile
in Cathay, right?"
Demi could no longer stand her arrogance. "Haha, how much is your father's monthly salary? How can it possibly
amount to our incfor over decades?"
Pleased with herself, Minerva laughed. "His monthly salary is around twenty thousand, which is around a
hundred and fifty thousand in Cathian currency. | remember my mother tellingthat she used to have a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmonthly salary of a little more than four hundred, which would add to an annual salary of a meager five
thousand. Doesn't that mean you will have to work for thirty years just to earn one hundred and fifty thousand?"
Everybody was rendered speechless by her ignorance, for the data she listed was from a long, long tago.
Thus, Sasha corrected Minerva. "That is from a long tago. The salary in Cathay has since increased, so the
basic monthly wage amounts to a few thousand nowadays."
Minerva snorted at Sasha's explanation, and she was about to mock her when Tate reached out to hold her arm.
"Alright, let's not talk about this any longer." Then, he gave her a look before whispering into her ear. "Don't talk
about this in their presence. Dad said that the Cunninghams are parasites. What if they decide to borrow money
from us again?"
Minerva's expression changed drastically as soon as she heard that; she was suddenly on full alert toward the
Cunninghams. Disgruntled, Demi was about to protest when the door swung open before a middle-aged man
entered the room.
