Chapter 850 An Affair
Disbelief colored Chloe's face. "Matthew?! Why, though? Why is he the only one who can get a word in with Mr.
Harrison?"
Helen shook her head. "I'm as clueless as you are, but the both of them get along pretty well from the looks of
it."
Chloe was all the more bewildered to hear this. She couldn't understand how Matthew, a man who had married
into the Cunningham Family and bectheir laughingstock, could have so much influence. First, it was the
incident with Leanna followed by the Shanghai Nights restaurant and now he's on close terms with Mr. Harrison?
What in the world is going on?
Upon hearing this, Chloe grew sullen. "I don't believe it! Helen, don't you think Matthew is crossing the lines
here? We haven't even figured out his connection with Leanna yet, and now he's having an affair with Crystal?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid he forget that he has married into our family and been living at our expense ever since? The audacity of him
to go around womanizing like that he's as good as trash!"
Helen's brows furrowed. "Tate, are you telling the truth? Are Crystal and Matthew really having an affair?"
He nodded earnestly. "That's the whole truth! | clearly saw them holding hands. | couldn't stand how they were
being so bold and shameless, Aunt Helen, which was why | confronted Crystal about it." An infuriated Helen
stood up and bit out, "That useless mongrel is trying to go head-to-head with us! My daughter has treated him
with nothing but kindness and affection, and philandering is what he does to return the favor?! Heaven be my
witness, I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"
As she said this, she pulled out her phone and called James, Liam and Demi, asking them to chso they
could deal with this together.
Tate, on the other hand, merely smirked. This was what he had wanted to achieve; he was fairly certain that the
chances of Matthew helping him with this incident were slim to none, even if he were to beg on his knees for it.
As such, the only way for Tate to save himself was to blow things out of proportion and drag Matthew into the
mess.
That way, even if the Harrisons were to cafter him, they would have to go through the Cunningham Family,
who would undoubtedly insist on clearing up the details of the alleged affair between Crystal and Matthew.
As for whether such an affair had existed or not, it didn't matter as long as the Cunningham Family believed it
existed.
James, Liam and Demi showed up half an hour later. After having heard what Helen said over the phone, James
looked like steam was about to cout of his ears.
It wasn't long after he entered the house that he slammed his palm against the coffee table and demanded
angrily, "Tellthe truth, Tate! Did you really see Matthew and Crystal sneaking around with each other?"
Tate swallowed; he was a little flustered by the fury in the man's voice.
Helen glared at her husband and snapped, "What's with that suspicious tone of yours? Are you accusing my
nephew of lying?"

"It's not as if this would be his first time!" James said pointedly. "Have you forgotten about what happened with
Leanna the last time?"
She choked on her words before she quickly regained composure and countered, "What are you trying to say,
James? This is an entirely different matter now, so why would you bring up whatever happened in the past?
What, are you actually going to speak up for Matthew after what that piece of trash has done?"
He gaped at her. Then, he argued defensively, "I-l am not speaking up for him! I'm just trying to decipher what
the hell happened in the first place!"
Meanwhile, as she stood at the side, Demi waved her hand as if she could cool her parents’ heated argument
and responded, "Alright, that's enough, Mom and Dad. The both of you can stop arguing now." When they fell
silent, she added, "If | have to be honest, | don't think an affair is out of the question. Think about it, why else
would Crystal work in the hospital as a nurse when she comes from such an affluent family?"
Helen's eyes lit up as she nodded eagerly. "You're right, Demi! Also, why would Crystal deliberately hang around
Matthew's office when she's supposed to be preoccupied with her nursing duties? Anyone with half a brain can
tell they're having an affair!" Then, she turned to address James tauntingly, "If there really is nothing going on
between them, you can have my head for a new chair!"
