James, Helen, Liam, and Demi had all returned home. Only Sasha wasn’t there because she was busy
dealing with company affairs.
Helen’s eyes were swollen and red from all the crying. “How is it possible that Mr. Jones is a con man?
300 million disappeared just like that! Why didn’t you do a proper background investigation?”
James’s face darkened. “Liam, it was you who introduced him to us. Tell me, how are you planning to
solve this?”
Feeling embarrassed, Liam replied, “James, I was just thinking about benefiting the family. I didn’t know
that he was a con man either!”
Helen furiously yelled, “Since you don’t know about his background, why did you introduce him to us?”
“Mom, don’t be mad at him. He didn’t want this to happen either!” Demi jumped to his defense. “In my
opinion, it’s Matthew’s fault that this happened!”
Surprised, Helen asked, “What does this have to do with Matthew?”
“Of course it does!” Demi said angrily. “From the beginning, he has been saying that Mr. Jones is a con
man. This means that he had known about Mr. Jones’s identity long ago. However, he didn’t tell us about
Mr. Jones’s identity and mocked us instead.”
Helen immediately frowned and said, “Demi, how could you say that? Who said that Matthew didn’t try to
tell us Mr. Jones’s identity? He even showed us the evidence. It was Liam who insisted that Mr. Jones
was not a con man!”
All of a sudden, Demi didn’t know what to say. After a while, she gritted her teeth and muttered, “Mom,
think about how he spoke to us. He was not trying to persuade us, but deliberately provoke us! You and
Dad have always been careful when making decisions, but why were you in such a hurry to invest this
time? It was because you were provoked by Matthew! If it weren’t for Matthew who kept saying that Mr.
Jones was a con man, would we have transferred 300 million out of anger?”
Liam hurriedly nodded. “Demi is right. Matthew is so despicable that he did all of this on purpose.
Furthermore, since he knew Mr. Jones was a con man, why didn’t he stop him? It’s obvious that he knew
we were being tricked but he chose to let Mr. Jones run away. He really is sinister. All along, he has been
planning for our investment to fail and let our family cause such a disaster. Now, Sasha won’t be able to
leave him!”
James and Helen frowned. The two of them weren’t particularly assertive people. After hearing what
Demi and Liam said, they started to feel suspicious.
Is it possible that this was all Matthew’s evil plan?
With her voice lowered, Helen said, “Demi, this is just your guess. Matthew couldn’t be so evil, right?”
“It’s hard to say!” Liam spoke in a low voice. “James and Helen, even though Matthew looks honest and
faithful, he’s completely different on the inside. Just look at how he fools and controls Sasha. She has
always been obedient but how many times has she rebelled against you lately? It’s all because Matthew
taught her to do so!”
Hearing this, James and Helen thought about the times where Sasha had talked back to them lately.
In the end, James couldn’t hold back his anger and hit the table with his fist. “This b*stard is disgusting!
Unless I die, they must get a divorce!”
Helen nodded in agreement. “You’re right, we must get them divorced. I’ll talk to a lawyer later…”
“Helen!” Liam hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry. Matthew is still useful to us.”
“How so?” Helen was confused.
“Now that we’ve lost 300 million, if the police continue to investigate, it’s either us or Sasha that gets sent
to jail!”
James and Helen instantly felt anxious. They didn’t want to go to jail, but they didn’t want their daughter
to go to jail either.
“What should we do?” Helen asked worriedly.
With a faint smile, Liam said, “If we let Matthew take the blame, everything will be fine, isn’t it?”
