As soon as Matthew arrived home, he heard James throwing a temper.
“Helen, what’s wrong with your family? Are they crazy? No matter what, I want them out of my sight tomorrow!”
Tears welled up in Helen’s eyes as she said, “Darling, can’t you stand in my shoes? He’s my brother. Do you think I can kick him out?
If I do that, my family would be heartbroken! Have you forgotten how my mother treated you back when you were poor in the early years of our marriage?”
James was instantly at a loss of words. Back when he was poor, his mother-in-law indeed treated him well and he was grateful for it.
“But what are we supposed to do?” James asked anxiously. “Are we really going to let her work in our company as a manager? Sasha, what were you thinking? How could you promise to give them a reply tomorrow? What are you going to say?”
Sasha looked helpless. “Dad, if I didn’t say that, do you think they would’ve left?”
“But you can’t simply make promises! If you can’t fulfill their requests, what are you going to do?”
Sasha immediately fell silent because she didn’t know what to do either. Just then, Matthew walked over and said, “James, don’t worry. Just leave it to me.”
James just glared at Matthew and yelled, “Leave it to you? What abilities do you have to handle this problem? I was just about to scold you. Who allowed you to take them to a five-star hotel?
Do you know how much it costs to stay a night at a five-star hotel? That family has no idea how to feel content. What if they keep staying here? How are we going to pay the hotel bills?”
Matthew calmly replied, “Don’t worry, James. It won’t be long before they start begging to not stay at a five-star hotel.”
James was stunned. “What are you talking about? Are you crazy? Which person would beg to stop staying at a five-star hotel?”
Sasha and Helen turned to look at Matthew with strange looks on their faces too. In their eyes, Matthew was simply talking about a fool’s dream.
As soon as they saw James, the three of them looked at him as if he was their savior. Norman quickly ran toward James and grabbed his arm. “James, please arrange another hotel for us now. I’m begging you. We really can’t continue staying in this hotel!”
James was shocked. Are they really begging me to move them to another hotel? What the hell did Matthew do? “Why do you want to change hotels?”
Norman sighed and said, “I don’t even want to mention it! After getting into bed last night, for some reason, we started itching all over and started having weird red spots. We didn’t sleep all night. In the end, we had no choice but to rush to the ER in the hospital.
The doctor said that it’s an allergic reaction. According to the doctor, the mattress of this five-star hotel is made of special materials and we are allergic to this material. The three of us didn’t sleep at all and this itch lasted the whole night!”
James almost burst out laughing. B*stard! It’s your own fault for requesting to stay in a five-star hotel! However, James soon felt his heart drop.
How did Matthew know that they would beg to not stay here? Could it be that he knew they would have an allergic reaction?
