Chapter 13

At the lakeside villa, Stanley Carlson stood in front of Matthew with reverence written all over his face when he promised, "Mr. Larson, please don't worry because I'll do it well for you!"

Matthew nodded and waved at Stanley, who left immediately after that. He called Stanley over this time to assign him with a task of carrying out an investigation on Sasha.

He did not want to have a fall-out with her but at the same time, he was not interested in hearing her explanation. Therefore, he decided to let Stanley get to the bottom of it and get himself some concrete proof, so that he could put an end to the marriage with a rightful excuse.

Not long after Stanley left the villa, he received a call from Helen. "Matthew, the 70th birthday celebration of Old Master Cunningham will be held tomorrow night. Go and borrow the Maybach you drove the last time so that you can drive us to the venue tomorrow with the car!" Helen hung up on him immediately without giving him a chance to talk.

Holding the phone, he couldn't help but put on a bitter smile. Was he some sort of a tool to the Cunninghams? On one side, they were trying so hard to persuade him to get a divorce with Sasha. On the other side, they were asking him to borrow the car purely for reasons of vanity, so that they could look good at the family gathering.

Speaking of tomorrow, he suddenly remembered one thing-wasn't Sasha also having her birthday on the same day? Sasha and Old Master Cunningham had both their birthdays on the same day, but everyone only paid attention to the latter. Basically, no one celebrated Sasha's birthday every year because of that.

Over the past three years, Matthew was the only one who cared or even remembered. Although penniless, he would start preparing for her birthday gift one month in advance and put in a painstaking effort to do some handicrafts for her as a present.

She did not really take them seriously, but he always made sure to do the best he could in preparing the gifts. The rest of the family, including her parents, had their entire attention focused on Old Master Cunningham.

In hindsight, he felt silly by making so much effort over the past three years. Sometimes he would think, Are all of these worthwhile? However, that was not important anymore because everything would be put to an end soon.

On the following night at seven o'clock, Stanley rushed to the villa that Matthew was staying at, who had just had a sleepless and restless night. "Mr. Larson, I've finally got to the bottom of everything!" There was something weird about Stanley's expression as he looked like he was holding back from revealing the truth to him.

"What have you got?" Matthew asked him curiously.

"Mr. Larson, I-I think you might have misunderstood Miss Cunningham!" Stanley muttered.

"Have I?" Mattthew widened his eyes in doubt. How did that happen? He witnessed everything with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.

"Mr. Larson, I know you must be puzzled. Why don't you take a look at this first?" Stanley took out a pendrive, put it into a laptop and clicked on one of the videos in the file.
