Matthew was dumbfounded because he did not ask Sasha to take out a 200 million loan at all.
“Mom, what’re you talking about? When did she take out the loan?” he asked anxiously.
“I can’t believe you’re still trying to play dumb! I-I must teach you a lesson…” Helen squealed and lifted
one of her arms in an attempt to slap Matthew.
Matthew quickly dodged her attack and beseeched, “Mom, calm down and talk to me! What’s going on?”
Helen did not stop pouncing on Matthew as she growled, “Stop right there! You’d better stop right there
now! Only one of us will survive today! Stop him from moving about!”
Liam immediately scurried over and stretched out both arms to stop Matthew from moving around.
With a sly smile on his face, he couldn’t wait to see Matthew being beaten up by Helen.
Matthew dared not get physical with Helen but he didn’t need to be careful with Liam.
He knocked his body against Liam’s by pretending to stumble, causing Liam to collapse onto the floor
and blood to gush out of his head.
Demi immediately helped Liam to his feet before she let out a squeal in fury, “Matthew, how dare you hurt
my husband? I’m going to kill you!”
With that, she grabbed a glass from the table and advanced upon Matthew.
At that juncture, several security officers barged into the room and subdued Helen and Demi directly.
The man who led the group was Casey Fleming, who was interrogated by the hospital director for
several days after he was ratted out by Demi for bribery.
As he had long held a grudge against the Cunninghams, there was no doubt he would not treat them too
nicely when he saw them at the hospital again.
“What the heck are you guys doing? Pin all of them down now! Just beat them up if they dare to get
physical again! I’ll bear the responsibility if anything happens!”
Several security officers who looked intimidating pressed Helen and Demi onto the floor and kept them
there by pressing their feet on them.
The two couldn’t break free from their hold no matter how hard they tried.
James asked frantically, “What are you guys doing? Let my wife and my daughter go, o-or I’ll call the
police!”
Casey sneered, “Are you sure you want to call the police? I was just about to do that! I have the right to
stop you guys from assaulting a man at the hospital! Hmph, let’s see who will be arrested if the police are
here!”
James was left stumped at once because they had indeed started assaulting Matthew as soon as they
were here.
If they called the police, the hospital would not be held accountable whereas he and his family might be
sent to the detention center and kept there for several days.
James glared at Matthew and demanded, “Matthew, are you going to watch your mother-in-law and your
sister-in-law being bullied without doing anything to help? Can you still consider yourself a man?!”
Matthew was left speechless. You didn’t say a thing when the two of them tried to assault me. Now that
my colleague is trying to do justice for me, do you expect me to offer them help? Why would I get them
released? So that they can continue beating me up?
Without responding to James, Matthew glanced at Casey.
Casey understood what he meant immediately. After all, it wasn’t appropriate of Matthew to criticize them
because they were his family, so he needed Casey’s help to handle this.
Casey first glanced at James and rebuked in an icy voice, “Old thing, you’d better behave yourself too!
Anyone at the hospital has to abide by its rules. If you continue cursing Matthew for no reason at all, I’ll
call the police and get you arrested too!”
Looking alarmed with his mouth wide open, James was deterred from making further comments in the
end.
Seeing that Casey was about to call the police, Helen quickly pleaded, “Director Fleming, please don’t be
angry. We indeed made a mistake this time and I-I’m sorry about that. Why don’t you let us go first? W-
We promise we won’t do it again!”
Casey glanced at Matthew, who nodded slightly. In fact, all he wanted was to give them a scare and it
was not his intention to call the police and get them arrested.
It was only then did Casey nod and say, “Since you have apologized, I will give all of you another
chance.”
“Let them go!”
“However, we’ll be waiting outside. You guys are welcomed to have a discussion but if any of you decide
to get physical, the officers from our security department won’t go easy on you!”
Casey waved at the security officers and brought them out of the room with him.
Helen and Demi looked humiliated as they tried to get up. Letting out a shriek, Helen was ready to
advance upon Matthew to slap him again.
The door was pushed open immediately and Casey stuck his head in. “What’s going on? Are you going
to slap him again?”
Helen adopted her best behavior at once because she did not feel like being stepped on again.
“James and Helen, what exactly happened?” Matthew queried.
Helen confronted him through gritted teeth, “Matthew, just stop playing dumb with us. Did you ask Sasha
for money for an investment? Do you have no idea that the company is having a crisis?
In order to raise 200 million, Sasha charged all the shares of the company to the bank to get the loan. If
she fails to pay back the loan, not only will she lose the company, but she will be sent to jail too! Will you
only be satisfied if Sasha loses everything and our family breaks apart?!”
