Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius

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?”

At this, Paula’s eyes reddened. “T-Then what do we do now? Are we going to let Jojo go to jail? She

had just graduated! If she goes to jail, her whole life would be ruined!”

Dejected, Norman kept his peace for a long while. With a sudden clench of his teeth, he suggested, Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“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.

Today was the last day of the agreed three-day period. If Paula’s family wasn’t leaving, then James

would have to interrogate Matthew.

As Matthew entered, Demi said coldly, “Wow, Matthew, you still have the audacity to come here! Do

you know what day it is today? Have you ever wondered if your boasting will turn around to bite at

you?”

Sasha frowned. “Demi, how can you talk to your brother-in-law like that?”

Demi let out a dry laugh. “Am I wrong? Sis, at this point, why are you still defending him? Look at what

this man has done. Making Jojo the CEO of the medicinal company, giving her a luxurious car and a

mansion. As a result, Jojo stirred up even more trouble. Yet, he still went and solved her problems,

spending over 500,000 in one fell swoop. Matthew, you never made our family one cent. Instead, you

spend it everywhere else. What a generous person you are! We got our money through hard, honest

work, but because of you, we have to suffer a loss of 500,000. Do you have any pride?”

Sasha was beyond furious. “Demi Cunningham, you’re too much! This problem has nothing to do with

Matthew to begin with. You guys were the ones who used him as a scapegoat for Jojo. How can you

condemn Matthew now? If you are so capable, why not let Liam take the blame?”

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!”
