Chapter 736
Chloe was astonished to see the man. "Jonah, why are you here? Didn't the president invite you for a meal?"
The man was none other than Chloe's husband, Jonah Campbell. Right before he spoke, he coincidentally laid
eyes on Sasha. The sight of her stunned him, but he managed to recollect himself quickly as he chuckled. "Oh,
it's because President Gonzalez has something coming up. You know, our company is involved in a major project
with Creative Cloud Group of Cathay. President Gonzalez has an appointment with the president of Creative
Cloud Group, Miss Leanna Sandel, regarding the upcoming collaboration. Since I have yet to officially join the
company, it's not appropriate forto join the discussion, so | chere instead."
Minerva was astounded. "Is that true? Didn't you say that an appointment with Leanna Sandel is hard to come
by? Not even our chairman got to meet her, so how did President Gonzalez secure an appointment with her?
Could it be that you're reaching an agreement regarding the collaboration already?"
With a smile, Jonah nodded. "I suppose President Sandel realized we're being sincere regarding our offer.
President Gonzalez went to wait on her as soon as we received news that President Sandel would be having
dinner here."

On the contrary, Demi wore a look of disdain. "It's not that hard to secure an appointment with Leanna. She
would cas soon as Matthew gave her a call. This is nothing to be proud of." However, nobody heard what
she muttered under her breath.
Meanwhile, Jonah waved his hand smilingly. "Oh, it's just a minor position. There's nothing to brag about. Come
on, have a seat. We're all family, so let's enjoy the feast together!" He sat down at the spot opposite to the door
after circling around the table. At the stime, he still had his eyes fixed on Sasha with a lecherous look in
them.
Chloe didn't seem to have noticed her husband's odd behavior as she laughed. "Helen, you should go abroad if
you have tto spare. You'll find out that foreign countries are drastically different from Cathay. For example, |
nearly suffocated as soon as | stepped off the plane. Cathay has poor air quality, whereas the air abroad is
refreshing. | was worried that | would find it hard to adapt to life abroad back then, but you know what? | fell in
love with the place as soon as | got there! Geez, Cathay can't even begin to compare with that place. Cathay is
so poor and underdeveloped. Compared to foreign countries, this place is utter hell!"
Upon hearing that, Helan smiled awkwardly. "Well, that's not necessarily the case. Cathay has been making great
progress as of late.”
Minerva smirked in response. "Great progress? Aunt Helen, that's bold of you to make such claims! How dare you
spew such nonsense without having ever gone abroad? Cathay is at least a hundred years behind the West in
terms of development. What proof do you have to back your claim?"
That instantly riled the Cunninghams up; they perceived Minerva's words as a slight. At the stime, Matthew
wore a frown before making a casual remark. "You're exaggerating things. If you trace the West's history back to
a century ago, you won't even see cars on the streets. Following that line of logic, you wouldn't even be able to
contact us on mobile phones if we really are a century behind them."
Being talked back at infuriated Minerva. "What do you mean by that? Why are you getting all riled up when | was
merely giving an example to illustrate how underdeveloped Cathay is? It's true that Cathay is lagging in terms of
economy, and it is so underdeveloped! | don't see what's wrong with pointing out the truth. Haha, you sure lack
self-confidence. You won't be able to command respect from anybody else if you behave like that."
Matthew retorted nonchalantly, "You have to make sense when you're giving examples. Otherwise, what
difference is there between this and boasting?"
His words amused the Cunninghams, for he was outright mocking Minerva for fabricating lies, which visibly irked
her. Before she could bite back, Helen stepped in to smooth things over. "Oh, we're family, so let's not argue
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout these! Come, give us the menu! We'd like to order our food."
After the waiter brought them the menu, Helen handed it to Chloe. "Have a look and order away. You must have
missed the local cuisine after spending so many years abroad. | suppose you don't get to have local Cathian
dishes often, right? You can order whatever you like!"
Upon hearing that, Chloe gladly took the menu. "To be honest, | don't actually miss local food. As you might
know, we get to feast on wine and lavish meals often while abroad. Now that I've returned, | no longer feel like
having the cheap stuff that we used to have. Con, Tate, Minnie, take a look and see if you have anything
that you might want."
Tate was still tapping away on his phone. "Just ordera steak."
Pouting, Minerva didn't take the menu either. "Steak? Don't forget that you're in Cathay, so don't ask for the
impossible! Didn't Mom used to say that they could only have meat during festive occasions? There are online
articles that indicate that the people of Cathay can't even afford eggs, so don't tellyou're expecting that
they have steak here? You're being overly demanding to Aunt Helen's family!"
Tate was outraged when he heard that. "What do you suggest that | eat then? | don't care! I'm not having any
sh*tty food! | want steak! Don't offer to buy a meal if you can't even afford steak!"
