With that, Helen stood up and made to leave.
Instantly, Sasha becanxious. After all, she couldn't very well let her mother run off alone to buy a swimsuit.
"Alright, alright. I'll call the secretary!" she said in resignation.
It was only then did Helen beam at her and said, "That's a good girl! Remember, this is your cousin so you must
treat him like your own brother. | have no sons-only two daughters. Hence, Tate is like my son. You must treat
him well!"
Not long after that, the secretary showed up with another Chanel piece.
This time, she had been specifically instructed to do so, as Sasha knew Tate would throw a fit if the swimsuit
didn't reach his standards. If that happened, the secretary's efforts would amount to nothing. Upon receiving the
swimsuit, the overjoyed Joanna sprinted to the bathroom, changed into the suit and dove into the pool with Tate.
By now, the courtyard and swimming pool had bectheir domain.

Not long after that, Demi and Liam returned.
Upon seeing the chaotic scene before her, Demi nearly yelled at the young adults, only for her to be stopped by
Helen.
"You and Sasha have to treat Tate and Minerva better in the future. Those are your aunt's kids! Have you
forgotten how well your Aunt Chloe used to treat you? No matter how old you get, you can't forget your roots
and you mustn't forget the kindness you were shown either!" she lectured them.
Upon hearing that, Demi and Sasha looked helplessly at each other. In all honesty, they had no wish to listen to
their mother whenever she lectured them on this matter.
In the end, the visitors stayed for dinner.
Having no other choice, Matthew and Sasha busied themselves in the kitchen preparing food for the guests.
As Helen told them, these were Tate and Minerva's friends and they had to be treated well. Otherwise, Tate and
Minerva would be disgraced.
During dinner, Minerva took the opportunity to introduce the three boys to Sasha.
These three boys hadn't taken their eyes off her since entering the house.
The moment introductions were made, one of them stood up with a wine glass in hand and walked over to
Sasha. "It's an honor to meet you, President Cunningham! May | treat you to this glass of wine?" The question
made her frown, and there was something about his gaze that she felt off-putting.
"Sorry but I don't drink," she said politely.
Naturally, the boy couldn't help but feel awkward, so Minerva protested, "But you drink every tyou eat with
us, Sasha. Why aren't you drinking today?"
With a frown, the boy asked softly, "Are you trying to embarrass me, President Cunningham?"
Upon hearing that, Sasha almost blew a gasket. Who does this boy think he is?
On the other hand, Matthew could not stand it any longer and he stood up. "I apologize, but my wife isn't feeling
well today so she won't be drinking," he announced. "How about I drink with you?"

Immediately, the boy withdrew the glass of wine and sneered with a sideways glance, "You? What right do you
have to drink with me? This glass of wine is for President Cunningham, not a live-in son-in-law like you!"
Behind him, the two other boys proceeded to laugh loudly.
They were trying to purposely ridicule Matthew, for according to Minerva, the entire household hated him.
In their opinion, making fun of him like that would only receive the household's support.
Sure enough, Demi, too, began to laugh at the scene.
On the other hand, Sasha was outraged. "What did you just say?"
"Am | wrong?" The boy chuckled as he continued, “Isn't he a live-in son-in-law? How could he possibly take your
place, President Cunningham? Does the live-in son-in-law call the shots for the Cunningham Family now?"
The statement was clearly meant to sow discord among the Cunninghams.
Yet, it worked, for James as well as a few of the others glared resentfully at Matthew.
