Chapter 2278 Casper the Freeloader
What was most astonishing was that even in the face of such an expensive anti-aging injection, women
worldwide still flocked to it. It was said that orders for those injections were already booked until the following
year's summer, with a tendency to extend even further.
That pushed Gallagher Medical Group's popularity to its peak.
"Hello, Miss Cunningham. It's an honor to meet you. You are truly a beautiful and charming woman." Casper
performed a standard gentleman's greeting while speaking. While shaking Sasha's hand, he had originally
planned to kiss her hand, but when he saw Matthew's gloomy face, Casper suddenly remembered something
and stopped his action.
Seeing this, Sasha couldn't help but smile. Stingy man!
Back at the banquet, everyone had been waiting for a long time. When Helen saw Matthew was still chatting, she

After speaking, she pulled Matthew toward the banquet.
"Mr. Gallagher, let's take our seats."
Smiling awkwardly, Casper followed them to the table.
In front of him was a large round table filled with various dishes, all of which were herbal dishes Matthew made
himself. There were roasted turkey breast with greens, citrus braised chicken, chicken popcorn, braised beef,
pork stew, and many others. The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes and a fragrant aroma.
Seeing the feast, the disciples from the hidden sects couldn't help but salivate.
"Let's toast to Matthew's in-laws," Easton proposed, and everyone raised their glasses.
Being the guest of honor, Helen, though reluctant, still pretended to be polite and raised her glass in response
for the sake of her son-in-law. But after sitting down, she couldn't help but whisper to Matthew, "Matthew, what
are the Shrewsdon Valley Sect, the Mountain Breeze Sect, and the Seaside Pavilion?"
Although most of them have introduced themselves, hidden sects like the Shrewsdon Valley Sect and the
Mountain Breeze Sect would only appear publicly if something major was happening, like the Medical Saint
Conference or the re-election of the Martial League. Therefore, Helen didn't know about those sects. In addition,
Roland and others only briefly mentioned their sects' names without explaining their status and strength. That
was why Helen thought they were from minor forces.
Upon hearing his mother-in-law's question, Matthew patiently explained, "The Shrewsdon Valley Sect is the
largest supplier of rare medicinal herbs in Cathay. The Mountain Breeze Sect mainly produces and forges
alchemy equipment and are the top-tier manufacturers of our time."
After Matthew introduced all the major hidden sects one by one, Helen's eyes suddenly lit up. They were all top
forces that were isolated from the world.
Then, Helen couldn't help but sit up straight, feeling particularly comfortable in the main seat.

Most importantly, she saw that even with the support of such powerful forces, those people still respected her
son-in-law. Just thinking of that made her even prouder.
"Don't just sit there. Let's start our feast. Don't be shy, and make yourselves comfortable." Since this was a
private gathering, Matthew didn't invite other elders except for his parents-in-law. So, Helen and James had the
highest seniority at the banquet. After Helen finished speaking, the disciples from the hidden sects finally started
eating.
"Here, Sasha, this is jasmine chamomile tea, which is great for relieving fatigue," Matthew said as he handed the
tea to his wife. As soon as the tea was placed in front of Sasha, the group led by Roland immediately started
making a fuss.
"Matt, | want stoo. Can you poura cup too?"
"Yeah, Matthew, | also want to try some."
The others spoke with sweet voices that sounded quite flirtatious.
Their teasing made Sasha blush even more, but the more shy she was, the more they teased her. Laughter and
joy filled the air as the conversation continued.
