Sasha couldn’t help but interrupt, “Mom, what are you talking about? Since this mansion is a gift from Mr. Jefford and the shareholders to Matthew, what has it got anything to do with our family? Matthew was the one who spearheaded the investment while Mr. Jefford and the shareholders decided to invest in him. At the time, I wanted to invest in him too but was stopped by the two of you. Hence, both our company and our family aren’t related to the investment in any way.”
Helen was stumped.
When Matthew successfully treated Billy Newman’s daughter back then, they could still claim their credit by saying that he did it with the help of the drugs manufactured by Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. But this time, they really had no way to associate themselves with the investment.
At that moment, Demi laughed coldly. “Sasha, I don’t quite get what you’re saying. Why does that gift have nothing to do with our family? Even assets of a married couple are considered as jointly owned by husband and wife, so how can Matthew claim full ownership of this mansion while he is just a live-in son-in-law of our family? When he depended on us for a living, why didn’t you say that the food, clothes and things he used belonged to us and not him? Now that he has become successful, all of these now belong to him? I’ve really never come across someone as ungrateful as him!”
Helen nodded repeatedly and agreed, “Demi’s right. Since he’s the live-in son-in-law of our family, his things will naturally be ours too! Back in the days, a live-in son-in-law like him would be considered as a slave of our family and he wouldn’t even be able to have anything to himself. Mind you, even his life would be under our full control. If we wanted him to die, he would have to do so without complaining; do you understand?”
