Placed Themselves in the Limelight
After exploring Lakeside Garden for a while, they walked around Matthew’s house, which left all of them
in shock and amazement.
It was nearing noon, and Lakeside Garden couldn’t accommodate so many people, so Matthew gave
James the Supreme Card to the Shanghai Nights restaurant and asked him to bring them there for
dinner.
With the Supreme Card, everything was free of charge.
Many of these people have never entered the Shanghai Nights restaurant before.
James accepted the Supreme Card and brought them to the restaurant. After they were done with their
meal, all of them were once again overwhelmed.
This time, James and Helen had regained their dignity, and it was truly a breath of fresh air.
This was especially true for James, who was always too embarrassed to face his friends.
Now, these friends held him with such high regards that it made him feel overjoyed.
Even Donald and Yvette were completely convinced now.
Their assets couldn’t be compared to theirs at all!
After dinner, James and Helen hurriedly returned to Lakeside Garden.
Now that the security guards knew their identities, they didn’t stop them, but simply let them enter.
Inside Lakeside Garden, Joseph and Leanna had already left.
As soon as James entered the house, he asked excitedly, “What exactly is going on? Matthew, i-is this
really our house?”
Matthew and Sasha glanced at each other, both of them thinking that James’ attitude was different from
before.
It could be seen that after experiencing so many things, James and Helen’s attitude toward Matthew had
changed a lot.
Since that was the case, Matthew didn’t conceal it and admitted lightly, “Dad, this house belongs to us.
Previously, at the Six Southern States Medical Conference, Mr. Newman had invested a sum of money
and made a lot of profit. He wanted to thank me, so he gave me this house! And since the house has
recently been renovated, I brought Sasha over. Originally, I planned to let both of you move in too, but
my plans got delayed because of certain matters.”
He didn’t mention his medical skills, but used a more plausible reason instead.
James couldn’t help but marvel, “I-Is that true? Oh, h-how much does this house cost? Mr. Newman has
really given you an amazing gift!”
Helen was emotional too, and her expression was one of pure delight.
Seeing both of their reactions, Matthew felt considerably relieved.
If this was before, they would definitely question Matthew for hiding this from them.
But now, these two people didn’t think about that at all. They had truly accepted Matthew!
Sasha suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, “By the way, Mom, Dad, why didn’t you tell us
in advance that you were coming to Lakeside Garden?”
James became a little upset. “Sasha, what do you mean I didn’t tell you? I sent Demi to inform you, but
you felt that it was too embarrassing and refused to help me!”
Sasha was stunned. “When did that happen? Why didn’t I know about it?”
After Sasha listened to James’ explanation of what happened last night, she immediately guessed that
Demi and Liam must be causing mischief again.
She then told them about Demi’s visit to her last night, which left James and Helen furious.
“When did Demi become like this? She even learned to lie! She’s actually trying to drive a wedge
between our family. This is too much!” Helen fumed.
James was irritated too and cursed for a long time.
Eventually, James said solemnly, “Oh, by the way, Demi and Liam can’t know about this house! Matthew,
this house is where you and Sasha live. You mustn’t let them intrude again.”
Sasha and Matthew looked at each other. Neither of them expected James to say such a thing.
Sasha was extremely moved. After so long, her parents finally regarded Matthew as family.
