Chapter 739

Matthew gave an honest reply. “Um, my monthly salary as a doctor is around five thousand. Topped with bonuses, it will be around seven thousand.”

Minerva’s eyes went wide. “Seven thousand? It doesn’t even amount to a thousand in our currency!

Gosh, are doctors such a low-paying job in Cathay?”

Hearing that, Chloe waved her hand. “Hey, watch what you say, Minerva. A few thousand is considered a high salary in Cathay. Back in the days, I only earned four to five hundred a month.”

Pouting, Minerva whispered to Tate, “See? I told you. With their salary, they could only possibly come for a meal here once every dozens of years. They must be thinking of pinning the bill on us. We have to lead Mom and Dad away in a bit!”

With a vehement nod, Tate agreed to the suggestion. Meanwhile, Chloe was examining Matthew with a condescending look in her eyes. “Young man, your salary isn’t that high to begin with. Considering her beauty, my niece could have had anybody if she were abroad. Don’t you think your marriage is unfair for her?”

Sasha was prompted to counter that almost immediately. “Aunt Chloe, Matthew actually has other sources of income—”

Waving her hand, Chloe cut her short. “What? He works part time? How much can he earn even if he does have a second job? Helen, why are you being so foolish? Is Sasha’s marriage a joke to you? How could you allow someone of his caliber to marry Sasha? You’re putting her at a disadvantage!”

While Helen was wearing an awkward look on her face, Demi quickly stepped in to fill Chloe in on more details. “Aunt Chloe, things aren’t as they seem. Actually, Matthew married into our family. Don’t you know that?”

Demi still held a grudge against Matthew. Although she dared not express it overtly prior to that, she saw their current circumstances as an opportunity to ridicule him. What Demi said brought an even more cynical look to Chloe’s eyes. At the same time, Jonah was once again appraising Sasha with a shrewd gaze.

Chloe then reprimanded, “I, for one, hate incapable men. Grow a spine, and work to build your own career! Doesn’t the fact that he married into your family count as him being overly reliant on you?

Helen, why did you make such a foolish decision when I’m not with you? How could you marry your daughter to a spineless wimp?”

Still wearing an awkward expression, Helen waved her hand. “Chloe, things aren’t how they seem. In fact, I think Matthew is a good kid—”

Chloe pouted immediately. “A good kid? He wouldn’t have married into your family if that was the case!

Alright, stop glorifying him. I will not stand to see my niece being treated less than she deserves now that I am here! You two should file for a divorce tomorrow.”

Both Sasha and Matthew were startled by what Chloe told them. Who do you think you are? How dare you even have the audacity to order us to get a divorce? What right do you have?

In fact, Chloe had become extremely snobbish ever since getting rich. From her point of view, she was acting as the Cunninghams’ savior. Therefore, she behaved like a family elder who would take charge of everything in the family.

Sasha protested the idea then. “What are you even suggesting, Aunt Chloe? Why do I need to divorce Matthew when we’re doing great?”

Chloe frowned after hearing that. “You silly child. Why are you being so stubborn? How could he be a good match for you considering his salary? What good is there being married to him? Women shouldn’t sell themselves short! Don’t you worry. Once you get divorced with him, I’ll introduce you to our boss’

son. He’ll definitely like you! He has a net worth of hundreds of millions. Besides, standing at over six feet tall, he is extremely handsome. He’s simply better than Matthew in any and all aspects!”
