Chapter 275


    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 me 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 ce. 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 ipetent 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 he knew Liam well enough to know that there was no way he would take


    the me alone because he was an extremely selfish man. What he 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


    n to make him the scapegoat. On top of that, he made himself sound so helpless about it as if he


    didn’t want it to happen too.


    In other words, he just wanted to avoid being sent to jail and at the same time, everybody would think


    that he avoided it due to a noble reason!


    Demi sighed. “Well, the best way to deal with this issue is to let Matthew take the me! What a shame


    it is! Indeed, we shouldn’tpare 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’sment, freaked out. “Matthew, I’m asking you one more time—


    are you willing to take the me or not?!”


    Before Matthew could even speak, Sasha intercepted by eximing, “I won’t let him 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 her 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 richdy, 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 thepany to


    somebody else for free, and leave Eastcliff together with Matthew for good. I’ll follow my husband no


    matter where he 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 him to see Sasha taking his side all the while.


    Helen, who was taken aback by Sasha’s aggressive reaction, went so enraged that her body was


    shaking, but she could note up with an answer.


    James’ anger hit the roof and fumed, “You’re outrageous! You want to give thepany 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 she had struggled under her father’s strict way of


    education ever since she was little. She didn’t expect that her parents still treated her this way, even


    though everything she had done so far was for the good of the family.


    Gritting her teeth, Sasha took out her 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 her hand on the speaker of Sasha’s


    phone and confronted anxiously, “Sasha, are you crazy? Do you really want to give thepany to


    somebody else for free? Our family owns thispany. Do you want to see your father and I starve to


    death?”


    With tears glistening in her eyes, Sasha dered, “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 him to be sent to jail!”
