Chapter 1023 A Tiger Can't Change Its Stripes
James and Helen had indeed changed their attitudes toward Matthew during this period of twhere they
indeed began to gradually accept him. In fact, James was not convinced of what Liam and Demi said he even
asked Matthew for his side of the story.
However, now that he knew what had transpired, he felt really miserable. If it was something else, he would
have been on Matthew's side. However, it involved the Lewis Family, who belonged to one of the Ter Greatest
Families of Eastcliff. How could the Cunningham Family even compete with them?
Demi immediately said, "Dad, a tiger can't change its stripes! | have long said that Matthew is a terrible and
useless man. Think about it: he didn't even finish vocational school. He has no culture, knowledge or proper

However, if he gains just a little power, he will really turn into a villain. You see, this the has even fought with
others at a nightclub. Don't you remember what nightclubs are for? What else can he be fighting in a nightclub
for? It must be due to jealousy over svixen! Matthew, oh, Matthew. My sister is being so good to you, yet
this is how you are treating her?"
Demi snorted. "Hehe, Sasha, you don't know him well enough! In fact, you've really been fooled by him!"
An upset James asked, "Matthew, tell us. Why did you go to that nightclub tonight? Why did you get into a fight
with someone?"
After a sigh, Matthew told the story of what happened earlier. Of course, he didn't bring up the renovation
materials. His narrative involved a mastermind who was out to destroy the Cunninghan Family and since it
wasn't something that they could resolve, Matthew didn't want them to worry about it.
Upon hearing Matthew's story, James and the others were taken aback.
"So, it was Dickson who tried to kidnap Sasha and you were so angry that you went to settle the score with
him?" James' expression eased a bit.
No matter what, Matthew didn't head to the nightclub to have fun, but rather, he went there for Sasha's sake,
which made him feel exceptionally relieved. She had also tightly grasped his hand; she had always believed in
him, but she never expected that tonight's affair to be this messy.
Demi, on the other hand, said indignantly, "Dad, this is all his side of the story. Who knows if it's true or not?
Hmph, Matthew, you can fool others, but you can't fool"
A frowning Matthew was just about to speak when James slammed the table with his fist. "Shut up, Demi!"
Demi tried to speak. "Dad-"

James pointed at her nose. "I told you to shut up! Didn't you hear me? If you don't shut up, from now on, you're
no longer welcat the Cunningham Residence!" She looked defiant, but eventually fell silent.
He then took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice, “Matthew, if this matter tonight is really as you have
said, then you can't be blamed for any of this. However, the problem is that n-now, this matter has beca big
deal. The patriarch of the Lewis Family and his son are dead, so the Lewis Family will certainly not let it go. W-
What can we do?"
Sasha hurriedly replied, "Dad, | don't believe that Donovan was killed by Matthew! I-l demand an autopsy; | will
call the police and let them settle this matter!"
With a trembling voice, he asked, "Y-Your mother is still in their hands, though. They also told us to meet them or
she will be in danger. Now that two members of the Lewis Family are dead and your mother was kidnapped by
them, I-I'm really worried that something will happen to her—"
Matthew replied softly, "It's okay. I'll definitely get her home. However, | have a question. Wasn't s-she supposed
to be in the hospital? Why did she suddenly head out?"
