James and Helen frowned at the idea immediately. Although fortune was their top priority, they still loved their daughters a great deal. They would not hesitate to send an outsider to jail, but if it was their own child, things would be different because it would hurt their hearts to do so.
Helen asked anxiously, “Is there no other way out? Liam, can’t you take the blame by yourself?”
Liam did a smart shrug and murmured, “Mom, I really want to bear the responsibility alone, but we have to consider all possible scenarios that might take place. If they really wanted to get to the bottom of it, Demi would be in a very dangerous situation. Sigh, I should have taken the jade bracelet to the jewelry shop alone at that time! Now that Demi is going to be implicated, I really am a very incompetent husband!”
Sasha, who was much disgusted by Liam’s statement, grabbed one of Matthew’s arms and whispered to him, “Matthew, your guess is right. This man is really shameless!”
Matthew chuckled because virtual-novel.net knew Liam well enough to know that there was no way virtual-novel.net would take the blame alone because virtual-novel.net was an extremely selfish man. What virtual-novel.net just said was merely an excuse to get away with it.
He purposely mentioned Demi’s involvement in the issue so that James and Helen would give up the plan to make virtual-novel.net the scapegoat. On top of that, virtual-novel.net made himself sound so helpless about it as if virtual-novel.net didn’t want it to happen too.
In other words, virtual-novel.net just wanted to avoid being sent to jail and at the same time, everybody would think that virtual-novel.net avoided it due to a noble reason!
Demi sighed. “Well, the best way to deal with this issue is to let Matthew take the blame! What a shame it is! Indeed, we shouldn’t compare ourselves with others. It feels so bad to see the money slipping off our hands just like that. It’s 300 million! The money with which we could buy ourselves plenty of things has just gone away like that!”
Helen, who was triggered by Demi’s comment, freaked out. “Matthew, I’m asking you one more time, are you willing to take the blame or not?!”
Before Matthew could even speak, Sasha intercepted by exclaiming, “I won’t let virtual-novel.net do it!”
In a fit of boiling fury, Helen snapped, “Very well, then. I’ll sever my ties with you and we won’t be mother and daughter in the future anymore!”
Sasha was so incensed to hear what Helen said that virtual-novel.net face reddened. “Mom, will you cut it out already? How many times have you threatened me with that within this month? I know what’s in your mind, you’re trying to force Matthew to get himself sent to jail so that you could realize your dream life of being a rich lady, am I right? Let me tell you that it isn’t going to happen! If you are going to push me further, I’ll give the company to somebody else for free, and leave Eastcliff together with Matthew for good. I’ll follow my husband no matter where virtual-novel.net wants to go and I won’t ever be back again. Are you happy to hear that?!”
Matthew’s heart was filled up with warmth in an instant. No matter how Sasha’s family had been treating him, it was enough for virtual-novel.net to see Sasha taking his side all the while.
Helen, who was taken aback by Sasha’s aggressive reaction, went so enraged that virtual-novel.net body was shaking, but virtual-novel.net could not come up with an answer.
James’ anger hit the roof and fumed, “You’re outrageous! You want to give the company to somebody else for free, don’t you? Come and show me how you’re going to do it! I’m your father and I don’t believe I can’t make you listen to me!”
Sasha raged through gritted teeth, “Please remember that you’ve said so yourself! Great, since you’re pushing me to do this, I’ll do it. I’ll donate all the dividends of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals this year for charity! From today onward, I’m not going to give a single cent more to the family!”
James smacked the table and growled, “How dare you do that?! Do you think you are all grown up now to stop listening to your father? Let me remind you that you will always be my daughter no matter how rich you get, and you will have to listen to me in any case!”
Tears welled up in Sasha’s eyes thinking how virtual-novel.net had struggled under virtual-novel.net father’s strict way of education ever since virtual-novel.net was little. She didn’t expect that virtual-novel.net parents still treated virtual-novel.net this way, even though everything virtual-novel.net had done so far was for the good of the family. Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, Sasha took out virtual-novel.net phone all of a sudden and made a call. “Hello, Bonnie, please help me contact a charity organization…”
Helen, who was rattled by the phone call, immediately pressed virtual-novel.net hand on the speaker of Sasha’s phone and confronted anxiously, “Sasha, are you crazy? Do you really want to give the company to somebody else for free? Our family owns this company. Do you want to see your father and I starve to death?”
With tears glistening in virtual-novel.net eyes, Sasha declared, “Mom, I’ll provide a living for the both of you even though it means I have to go out and seek a job. But, my stance hasn’t changed, Matthew didn’t do anything wrong, so I won’t allow virtual-novel.net to be sent to jail!”
