Chapter 979 | Underestimated You, Matthew
It wasn't until after several grueling days that the whole fiasco about the villa neighborhood project finally came
to an end.
During this time, James and the others paid particular attention to the construction company and how it was
handling the situation. They were stunned speechless when they learned that only one-third of the buyers
insisted on backing out of their purchase.
In all honesty, James and the others hadn't thought that Matthew could put the fire out, even if he could cup
with enough funds to quell the demanding crowd. After all, in the heat of the moment, all the buyers had been
adamant about getting their money back.
From the looks of how things had turned out, the construction company wouldn't be making a huge loss at all.
Moreover, with Tiger lending aid, the inspection process went a lot smoother.

At the end of the day, the construction company did not crumble, and it was still standing strong after the mess
was cleared up.
That evening, the Cunningham Family was having dinner when James lifted his wine glass and mused, "I must
say, | underestimated you in the past, Matthew! You really are the definition of competent! I didn't think you
could settle such a tricky situation with such ease!"
To one side, Helen nodded hastily in agreement. "Yes. | thought the construction company was done for! Who
could have thought that everything would turn out fine? You handled this brilliantly, Matthew!" Sasha's face lit up
when she heard her parents’ outright acknowledgment of Matthew's competence. What can | say? Life could only
get better from here on.
Meanwhile, Demi and Liam were looking distinctly gloomy. They were disappointed to learn that the construction
company had found a way out of the sticky situation because Matthew had taken away all the money in their
account in the process.
Sof the things they had bought were returned while the rest were sold off as secondhand goods, and the
proceeds went into the company account. This meant that Demi and Liam had essentially schemed hard for
nothing, and it left them angry as well as resentful.
They had initially believed that Matthew would never be able to resolve this mess. In fact, they thought they
could watch him make a fool of himself. However, he had gone and proved them wrong by easily putting out the
fire, which enraged them to no end. Now that James and Helen were praising him, Demi and Liam only grew all
the more furious.
Incensed, Demi interjected abruptly, "There's something | can't quite figure out, Matthew-all these people were
going all out, demanding that they get their money back, but why did they change their minds as soon as you
showed up? Could it be that you were the one who persuaded them to back out of the deal in the first place? In
other words, did you go to such lengths just so you could throw us out of the construction company?"
Sasha frowned at this. | can't believe she's accusing Matthew like this.
But before she could protest, James demanded, "What are you talking about, Demi? Matthew wouldn't do
something like this!"

Still peeved, Demi argued, "Then explain towhy those people changed their minds as soon as Matthew
showed up." James was stumped by this.
Sasha, on the other hand, retorted icily, "Isn't it obvious? They change their minds because they trust Matthew.
You do know what trust means, don't you? Liam ended up the way he did because everyone lost faith in him and
no longer trusted him, whereas Matthew has won them over because they trust him. That's why they decided to
stay."
"Are you saying that my husband isn't trustworthy?" Demi seethed.
Sasha scoffed and ignored her, which provoked her more as she snapped, "What the hell do you mean by that,
Sasha? What right do you have to insult him?"
Irritated, James shot Demi a dark, warning look. "What are you yapping about? You know as well as we do when
your husband lost the trust of all those people. Take a look at what the both of you have done. Do you want me
to list out your faults one by one?"
Upon hearing this, Demi felt her words die on the tip of her tongue. This time, not even her own parents were on
her side.
