James’ eyes widened immediately. “Francis, y-you have to help us! You have to help Sasha! Sasha is managing Cunningham Pharmaceuticals right now. Since you love her so deeply, I suppose it will hurt you too to see her sad?”
Francis admitted in a soft voice, “Mr. Cunningham, you’re right. I do love Sasha, but she’s another man’s wife now and I’m not related to her in any way. Meanwhile, my pharmaceutical company is worth around sixty to seventy million. Losing that kind of money for a woman who isn’t related to me at all is just…”
James frowned, knowing vaguely what Francis meant.
“Francis, you know very well that the marriage between Sasha and Matthew is never going to last! Since their marriage only exists in name, they will divorce each other sooner or later. We’ve always favored you and you are the ideal husband for Sasha. Helen and I think the marriage between you and Sasha will be perfect,” James said with a simpering smile.
With a sigh, Francis responded, “Mr. Cunningham, you’re right. However, I still don’t have any chance because Matthew and Sasha have yet to divorce each other. Since they’re still married, don’t you think it’s not quite appropriate for me to spend sixty to seventy million to settle this issue?”
James was stunned for a second before he asked, “Do you mean that y-you will help us solve the problem as long as they get a divorce?”
“Mr. Cunningham, I need to have something that I can look forward to. As long as I can see some hope in my relationship with Sasha, I will help you solve the problem. What do you think?”
Taking a deep breath, James nodded his head slowly. “Okay, it’s a deal! Francis, while I get them to divorce each other, you help me settle this issue. What do you think?”
Francis nodded immediately. “Mr. Cunningham, please don’t worry because I can definitely settle it!”
After walking Francis out, James found Helen and recounted the issue to her.
She was so shaken by the problem that she nearly broke into tears.
However, she sighed in relief when she heard the latter part of the story.
“Cunningham Pharmaceuticals can be protected as long as they get a divorce. What a great bargain! Well, let’s visit Sasha then. This time, I’ll get them to divorce each other by hook or by crook! If she refuses to divorce him, I’ll kneel down in her office until she says yes! Let’s see whether her mother or that useless man is more important to her!”
As soon as James and Helen stepped into Sasha’s office, they snapped at her directly, “Sasha, you must get a divorce with Matthew this time! You have to divorce him even if you don’t agree! If you refuse to do so, we will sever our ties with you!”
Sasha, who was baffled, asked, “Dad, Mom, what’s wrong with the two of you? Why are you guys still picking on Matthew even after you started the company? What did he do to offend you guys again?”
Helen exclaimed furiously, “He offended us on many occasions! Just looking at how incompetent he is is enough to make me angry! He knows nothing but he’s confident enough to interfere with our business! Sasha, I don’t really expect you to find yourself a very capable husband, but you just can’t have a useless man as your husband! By doing that, not only have you brought embarrassment on yourself, but you also brought disgrace to your family, do you know that?”
With a frown, Sasha emphasized, “Mom, I’m repeating this one more time—I won’t divorce Matthew! He has done nothing wrong! Throughout the past three years of our married life, he didn’t even complain once about how we’ve been treating him! So, we have no right to talk about divorce with him!”
After glancing at each other, James and Helen straightaway knelt down on the floor with a thud.
“Dad, Mom, what are you guys doing?” Dumbfounded, Sasha ran over to help them to their feet.
Meanwhile, Helen pleaded with tears, “Sasha, we’re begging you to divorce Matthew!”
