Chapter 173

Matthew was still wondering how a dinner could turn into such a scene.

After having heard that it was Young Master Jackson’s restaurant, Matthew immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that Young Master Jackson wanted revenge.

Sasha rushed over in panic. “Matthew, l-let’s leave. We simply can’t risk angering the Jackson Family.”

“It’s okay.” Matthew smiled lightly. “If we do not handle this now, they will pose a threat in the future.”

“Matthew, are you crazy?” asked Sasha anxiously. “He is the heir of the Jackson family, how will you handle the situation? Last time when we were at Shanghai Nights, the people helped you only because you had the Supreme Card. Well, this ain’t Shanghai Nights, so who would help us?” asked Sasha.

“It’s okay. Leave it to me; don’t worry.” Matthew chuckled while patting her hands.

Sasha wanted to say something, but at that moment, Young Master Jackson entered with his group of thugs.

He yelled as he entered the restaurant, “What happened here?”

The waiter rushed over immediately and reiterated what had just happened.

“Well, if it isn’t the live-in son-in-law?” Young Master Jackson asked as he glanced at Matthew. “You’ve come here to dine and dash? Hmph, how dare you cause trouble in my premises? I’ll have you know, as long as you don’t pay, you’re not leaving!”

Matthew frowned. Before he could say anything, Sasha quickly intervened. “Young Master Jackson, w-

we are not here to dine and dash! We really did not order any of these.”

“President Cunningham, our shop uses computers to record the orders. There has never been a mistake till today!” Young Master Jackson sneered.

“How can something go wrong when it comes to the both of you? If it wasn’t you, who else could have ordered it? Should we call the police and let them know of this matter?”

Sasha froze. If the police came to investigate, it would only cause a bigger scene.

Things were difficult enough with Matthew hitting someone. They didn’t need any more complications.

“Jackson, if you have an issue, take it up with me!” Matthew said seriously. “Leave my wife out of this!”

“For someone who lives off a woman, you sure have some ego!” Young Master Jackson sneered. “Take it up with you? Look at yourself. The clothes on your back added up are nowhere near the value of that caviar. Why would I even bother?”

Everyone suddenly burst into laughter.

“Young Master Jackson, you are underestimating him!”

“You have to sell your kidneys for a meal? That is too greedy!”

“If you value your pride, then you must be ready to face the consequences!”

Everyone was jabbing and laughing at them, and Matthew’s expression began to darken.

Seeing his expression, Sasha was afraid that he would cause further trouble and hurriedly said, “Forget it, we will foot the bill! Come on, swipe this card here!” Sasha said, taking out a card and handing it over.

Young Master Jackson was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Sasha could really afford the bill.

Per his investigations, he knew that Sasha had not been the chairperson for long. Her assets were all company shares, so she had little money herself.

At that moment, someone said snidely, “Dear Sasha, your card seems to be a company financial card, isn’t it? Are you going to use the company’s public funds for dinner?

You have just become the chairman of the board, and you have already started to take advantage? Are you worthy of the shareholders of the company? What will you do if you can’t pay it back?”

Everyone turned around as Lily Cunningham walked over, a smug look on her face. She had just arrived. After asking around, she was happy as she heard the current situation.

The Cunninghams had not been happy with Matthew lately, and they had been holding back all these while. This time, it was the Jacksons who handled the situation, so she just had to add her two cents.
