“There’s no longer a need to question whether he’s a man or not because he’s not even counted as a
human!” Demi mocked. “A dog can at least guard the house but what does he do? He eats more than a
dog but does even less than a dog!”
Matthew was instantly infuriated but just as he was about to speak, Sasha interrupted him and angrily
yelled, “Demi, shut your mouth. How could you speak to your brother-in-law like that?!”
Demi replied, “Brother-in-law? Sasha, he’s not worthy enough for me to even treat him as a human, let
alone my brother-in-law!”
“You…”
“Enough!” James slammed his fist on the table. “Matthew, can you stop causing problems? Since you
entered this house, the whole family has been arguing because of you. Can you stop annoying us?”
Sasha was upset. “Dad, Matthew just returned home and he didn’t even do anything, so how did he
annoy you?”
“Sasha, can you stop quarreling with your father because of an outsider? Are you trying to give us a
heart attack?!” Helen roared.
Sasha was so angry, her eyes were bloodshot, but she didn’t dare to continue arguing.
“And you!” Helen turned to glare at Matthew. “Why are you still standing there? Head over to the
kitchen and start cooking!”
Matthew let out a sigh and went in the kitchen alone while the few others continued quarreling outside.
After a while, a guest arrived—it was Francis Cooper.
“Oh, Cooper, why are you here? Your visit to my home makes my house shine!” Helen said as she
smiled ear to ear.
Francis was smiling and he was holding a few gift boxes and a bouquet of roses in his hands.
“Uncle, Aunty, I don’t know what you like so I simply bought some gifts. Please forgive me if there’s
anything you dislike!”
“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no need to bring anything!” Helen was even happier after she heard him
say that.
“Mom, I’ll help you hold it!” Demi took over the gift box and glanced at it before she exclaimed, “Oh, it’s
wine. Dad, you like to drink wine so you should take this!”
James took over the gift box happily and glanced at it. Then, he shouted in surprise, “Kept in the cellar
for thirty years… This bottle of wine is probably really expensive!”
With a faint smile, Francis said, “It’s not as expensive as you think, just a little less than 100,000. The
most important thing is that you like it!”
“Oh, child, there’s no need to spend so much money on me!” James liked his gift so much he couldn’t
put it down.
Demi looked at the other gift box and exclaimed again. “Cartier?”
Francis smiled and said, “Cartier released a new necklace this year that matches Aunt Helen’s
elegance really well.”
There was a sparkle in Helen’s eyes and she immediately pulled out the necklace. It was a ruby
necklace and at a glance, she could tell that it cost a fortune.
“Oh child, you really are generous!”
Helen nodded and said, “Demi, hurry up and pour some tea for Young Master Cooper.”
“Sasha, why are you standing there? Go and sit next to Young Master Cooper and accompany him!”
Demi then busied herself with making and serving tea. On the contrary, Sasha anxiously said, “Dad,
Mom, how can you accept such expensive gifts? Hurry up and return them!”
“Sasha, we’re all really close. Uncle and Aunty have always treated me well. This is the first time I’m
visiting so it’s necessary for me to bring some gifts!”
Francis smiled as he handed the bouquet of flowers to Sasha. Then, he said romantically, “Sasha, you
look really beautiful today. This bouquet of flowers is for you!”
Sasha frowned. Francis, do you really think I don’t know what you’re planning? I can’t accept these
flowers!
Seeing this, Helen hurriedly said, “Sasha, hurry up and accept it. This is Young Master Cooper’s small
wish!”
Francis maintained the faint smile on his face as he said, “Sasha, are you really going to make me hold
this posture?”
This trick was called moral kidnapping. If Sasha didn’t accept the flowers, she would be forced to
embarrass Francis!
