Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage novel Chapter 166

Norman wailed in despair, “Oh, my God. This guy is a fraud! He canceled his phone number right after scamming the money! Jojo, how could you be so careless? You’ve only been working here for two days and you… You’ve… messed it all up…”

Jojo’s embarrassment turned into rage. Thinking back, not only she had been scammed, she had her heart played like a fiddle.

“That’s enough. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Paula said anxiously, “We need to solve this situation, fast! We can’t just let Jojo go to jail. She is still so young!”

Norman was dejected. “What can we even do at this point? The contract was authorized by her, the transaction was organized by her, and even the acquisition and shipment of the goods was arranged by her. This incident has nothing to do with anyone else. What kind of solution can you come up with?”

Dejected, Norman kept his peace for a long while. With a sudden clench of his teeth, he suggested, “Why don’t we… arrange Jojo’s escape?”

“Escape?” Paula froze for a second. “But escape where?”

“Let her go into hiding first,” Norman said. “We can wait and see how things go before we make a decision.”

Paula broke down into tears. “But she’s just a girl. Where can she escape to? Can’t you think of something else?”

Norman retorted, “Do you have any better ideas then? Now, it’s either escape or the slammer. Take your pick!”

Paula was now crying up a waterfall. There was no choice but to escape.

That night, the family barred all communications with the Cunninghams and escaped from Eastcliff overnight.

Meanwhile, James had booked a table at the Wembley. He waited impatiently for Paula’s family to arrive at the restaurant for their arranged dinner.

Matthew also came to the restaurant. After all, James had invited him to come.

Demi was at a loss for words. She could only look toward James for help. “Dad, look at her. She’s taking Matthew’s side!”

James waved his hands in dismissal. “That’s enough from you. Sasha, why don’t we talk about something else? Enough with Paula and her family. Matthew, you said you would get rid of them in three days’ time, but what’s going on now?

Not only did Jojo not leave, she even processed a huge transaction. Paula just called me about a bonus too. From the sounds of it, she wanted at least 20 million. Is this your idea of getting rid of them, Matthew? Are you getting rid of them or our company?”

Sasha retorted, “Dad, how can you say that? Everything Matthew has done is for our own good!”

Demi scoffed. “What has he done, then? Why don’t I see anything?”

Matthew threw a cold glance at Demi. Gently, he said, “Dad, you have to trust me on this one! Tonight, Paula’s family will definitely leave Eastcliff!”
