Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980 Liam’s Resentment

When dinner was over, Demi stormed into her bedroom with steam coming out of her ears. In a fit of rage, she grabbed everything from her bed and threw them onto the floor.

She spat through gritted teeth, “I can’t believe this is happening! I just can’t! How did that loser win Mom and Dad over? Liam, at this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the both of us are driven out of the family.”

Contrary to Demi’s outburst, Liam merely sighed in resignation. Admittedly, things had gotten out of hand this time; the construction company was worth several billion in revenue, and they nearly threw it to the dogs.

After all, for as long as James and Helen continued to put Matthew down as an incompetent fool, then Liam would still stand a chance at proving himself.

However, now that he had lost out on his in-laws’ favor, he couldn’t even dream of getting back into their good graces, let alone ask for another chance.

With that in mind, he urged in a low voice, “Demi, we really are in hot water this time. From how I look at things, we have to find a way to make your parents continuously nitpick on Matthew. Otherwise, we’d lose out on our right to speak in this household!”

Demi’s fists clenched, and her eyes flashed with a murderous gleam as she thought about how she would deal with Matthew.

In the days that followed, Matthew could hardly catch a break as he tried to do damage control on the construction company.

Tiger and Julian had already returned to work in the construction company, with the latter assuming the role of general manager and being placed in charge of the villa neighborhood renovations.

The shareholders who had left now came back as well, and Wilson had gotten ahold of a new group of buyers for the vacated villas. In less than three days, nearly all these villas had found new homeowners.

In the meantime, Matthew was brainstorming with Stanley on another megaproject.

They had plans to set up a hospital near the villa neighborhood with Joseph as the resident doctor, which would surely bring in a steady flow of prospective homebuyers.

Given the Harrisons’ powerful connections and influence, Crystal’s charity gained a surprising amount of donations, so much so that it even made headlines and won praises from the business industry.

While this was happening, Joseph told anyone who would listen to Crystal’s efforts with great pride. There was a time when he thought he had spoiled this granddaughter of his, and he couldn’t be more relieved to witness such a transformation in her.

For this, the Harrisons were eternally grateful to Matthew.

That afternoon, Matthew had only just returned to the office when he saw Crystal sitting on her own, looking sullen.

“Oh my, has someone gotten on your nerves again, Miss Harrison?” he teased, chuckling.

Crystal’s expression softened when she registered his presence. With a tired sigh, she mumbled, “You won’t believe it if I told you, Matthew. I met a patient today, and talking about this just makes my blood boil!”
