NovelEnglishChapter 800
The next day, Jonah contacted a nonlocal attorney and had the latter hurry to Eastcliff to take care of this case.
Upon hearing this news, Chloe was filled with smugness; she even made a special trip to the Cunningham
Residence to brag about this. "Hmph, Mr. Manning is crafty enough to screw us behind our backs after failing to
swindle us out of our money. How dare he bar the attorneys in Eastcliff from taking up our case? Haha! Who does
he think he is? Can he ride roughshod over everyone in the world? Can't you see that my hubby has managed to
find another attorney from somewhere else in the end?" On the other hand, Minerva stared fixedly at Sasha. "We
made an agreement last night, Sasha. No matter how much money we have to pay, you'll have to contribute 1.6
million. Don't go back on this when you realize later on that the money to be spent isn't much. Otherwise, things
will get very unpleasant! Hmph!"
Sasha replied impatiently, "Don't worry, for | won't go back on what I've promised. Even if you solve this matter
without spending a penny, | will give you 1.6 million!"

Minerva was delighted at once. To her, this matter was only a trifling one, so it would cost no more than a few
hundred thousand. If this was really solved, she might end up with 1.3 million to 1.4 million remaining in hand.
By then, she would be able to buy a Porsche sports car! Minerva was totally immersed in her daydream.
Minerva sneered. "Don't worry! We paid great attention to the spirit of contract more than anything else back
when we were overseas. You'll pay no more than the amount you've agreed on. There'll be no problems as long
as you don't go back on what you've promised!"
Demi immediately nodded. "Don't worry, for we definitely won't go back on our word. However, since you've
mentioned the contract, why don't we simply make a written agreement lest any of us go back on ou promise by
then?"
Minerva bobbed her head at once. "Sure, that's great! Regardless of how much we have to pay in total, we'll
make an agreement so that your family pays 1.6 million by then!"
Helen looked helpless upon hearing their words. "Is this even necessary? You two are cousins!"
"Yes, it is!" replied Demi and Minerva in unison. Both of them were relatively mean, so they were unwilling to let
the other party take advantage of themselves. In the end, they made an agreement and signed their names on

Minerva held the written agreement with a sneer. She then said, "If you guys refuse to pay the money by then,
I'll sue you all. Hmph!"
On the other hand, Demi laughed. "Haha! Don't regret this, Minerva!"
Sasha was too lazy to care about them, so she took Matthew with her and went to work. Instead of going to the
hospital, Matthew went directly to Lakeside Garden. He first visited his younger sister Natalie, and her condition
was gradually becoming stable. Then, he went to the villa the patient stayed in to check up on her.

This patient had been hiding in the villa over the past few days. When she heard someone coming in, she
immediately trembled with fright. After seeing that it was Matthew, she finally gave a soft sigh of relief. However,
she still huddled up in a corner as she didn't dare to move close to him.
Matthew smiled. "Don't be afraid no one will hurt you here. How are you? Are you used to the meals?"
The patient bowed her head without speaking. After a long time, she nodded in response to his question.
Matthew then looked around and asked, "Do you need anything else? The TV is there, so you can turn it on to
watch sshows. Also, do you need to change out of the clothes you're wearing? Would you liketo buy a
few sets of new clothes for you?"
The patient still remained silent, but she shook her head this time. One could tell that she was quite grateful to
Matthew. However, after years of living by begging, she feared everything and didn't dare to let him spend any
money on her.
