Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) -
Chapter 390
James and Helen cooked a table of dishes and called the rest of the family members for dinner when they were done. James even pulled out a bottle of fine wine that he had treasured for a long time. This wine was drunk once when Liam's parents came by so Liam had tasted it before, but Matthew didn't even know he had it. It was obvious that James was really giving his all.
After three rounds of toasting, James sensed that they had chatted enough so he smiled and said, "Matthew, I didn't expect you to be so close with Dr. Ellis.
No wonder you dared to make an investment of more than 10 billion. This time, the wealthy men of Eastcliff that invested with you all earned a ton of money. Sasha really has good foresight and didn't choose the wrong man to marry. Matthew, Helen and I are really proud of you!"
Hearing this, Liam and Demi instantly turned to look at Matthew. Just when Matthew was about to speak, Sasha interrupted him and said, "He didn't earn anything because he didn't invest any money after all. The people who earned money are the men that invested. Matthew is just a middle man."
Hearing this, James and Helen's expressions immediately changed.
"How could you not make any money? They've invested over 10 billion and the profit earned is a few times more than that.
However, you're saying that you didn't earn anything. Matthew, did you secretly stash the money away behind our backs?" Helen asked anxiously.
James hurriedly coughed a few times. It was then only Helen realized that she was a little too anxious, so she put on a smile at once and said, "Matthew, we are not greedy for your money. We're just worried about you! Besides, we are family. There's nothing that you can't tell us."
In a soft voice, Matthew replied, "Helen, I really didn't earn much. I only received some bonuses from the investors so I only have a few million."
A look of disbelief appeared on Helen's face. "How is that possible? Their investments have tripled or even quadrupled! The 10 billion has turned into tens of billions but they only gave you a few million? Do they see you as a beggar? Matthew, you... you're kidding me, right?"
James was frowning as well. He felt that Matthew was hiding a secret from them.
Just then, Sasha pouted and said, "Mom, do you think it's easy to earn a few million? Those wealthy men took huge risks. Besides, do you really think that Dr. Ellis would help without asking for anything in return?
Even though it looks like those men had only invested around 10 billion, they secretly spent way more money than that! Isn't this money considered an investment? They are already nice enough by giving Matthew a few million. The person who made the most money out of this is Dr. Ellis, understand?"
James and Helen glanced at each other and the both of them looked extremely upset. They had worked hard to please Matthew and made dinner just for the money. Now that they found out Matthew had no money at all, how could they accept it?
Helen anxiously said, "But it still shouldn't be so little! You were the one who started this and made it work. Can't you ask them for more? If you asked them for more, I'm sure they would give it to you. Why were you stupid enough to only take whatever they offered?"
Hearing this, Sasha immediately said, "How could he ask them? At the beginning, we said that we would invest 200 million but in the end, we changed our minds when the conference was about to start. Because of this, Stanley bought a lot of our company's shares and took a great risk.
If we invested the 200 million back then, we would've earned more than one billion. It was you two who forced me to withdraw the investment. However, right now, you're asking Matthew to ask Stanley for money. Dad, Mom, if you were in Stanley's shoes, would you give Matthew money? Wouldn't you hate people who go back on their word?"
