Sasha did not even get to relax for one full minute before she was so enraged by her parents’ statement
again, and her face reddened at once.
“Dad, Mom, can the two of you please stop meddling with the business of the company? I’m sick of trying
to persuade you two. Let me repeat this one last time—I will give Matthew my full support and I won’t
divorce him! I’m begging you guys to go home and keep yourselves out of the affairs of the company,
please?”
James snapped back furiously, “Do you think we want to do that? We are just worried that you might be
misled into bringing trouble upon yourself! You are our daughter.
Do you think we would harm you? We’ve been through a lot and we’ve witnessed so much of the ugly
side of this world. It’s okay to make minor mistakes in life, but we can’t allow you to make a grave
mistake like this because it might affect your whole life adversely!”
Sasha disputed anxiously, “How do you know that Matthew’s investment is a mistake? What if he’s
making the right decision?”
Helen straightaway waved her hands dismissively and concluded, “That’s impossible! He’s going to
compete with Dr. Ellis and Leonard the Acupuncturist, but does he know a thing about medicine?
Even with Stanley’s help, Mr. Harrison who works for him is only a mediocre doctor and he isn’t even
qualified to compete with Dr. Ellis, let alone Leonard! Sasha, please wake up and realize the silly mistake
you’re making!”
Demi scoffed as well, “Sasha, I’m going to put it this way—I’ll admit that my judgment is faulty if Matthew
wins at the medical conference, and I’ll dig out my eyeballs for him too. How about that?”
Sasha was so livid that her whole body was trembling. “I don’t want to listen to anymore nonsense from
you guys! I call the shots around here and I get to decide what the company invests in! I don’t need
advice from all of you!”
In her exasperation, Helen seethed, “Sasha, you’re really trying so hard to drive me mad, aren’t you?
Fine, I’ll die in front of you right now! I’m going to kill myself!”
Wailing at the top of her lungs, Helen lunged toward one of the windows and lifted one of her legs as she
got ready to jump off the building.
Sasha, who was frightened by her mother’s action, let out a squeal before running over to hold her back.
“Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Get down from there now! P-Please don’t do this…”
Helen tried her best to break away from her. “Since you want me to die, I’ll jump off from here to kill
myself! It took me so much effort to raise you girls up and all I want is to see the two of you having a safe
and happy life. However, you are so insistent on ruining your own life and yourself.
I can’t consider myself a competent mother anymore because I couldn’t bring you back onto the right
track. Therefore, I think it’s better for me to end my own life now so that my heart won’t hurt when I see
you suffer in the future…”
Demi, who was trying to yank Helen away from the window on the other side, growled angrily, “Sasha
Cunningham, are you an animal?
This is your mother who gave birth to you and raised you! Can’t you listen to her advice for this one
time? Do you really have to destroy our family?”
Tears streamed down Sasha’s face because there was nothing she could do about her mother who only
dealt with things by making a scene.
At that juncture, Matthew sighed and gave in. “Sasha, forget it. You don’t have to give me the 200 million
from the company. It’s enough that I know you have the intention to do it.”
With tears still trickling down her cheek, Sasha let out a sigh forlornly and muttered, “Fine, Mom, I’m not
going to make the investment. Are you happy now?”
Helen refused to yield to her and insisted, “Of course not! You have to divorce him too! Otherwise, he will
get us implicated once he loses all the money! After you divorce him, we won’t have anything to do with
the debt!”
Sasha stormed, “Mom, c-can you be more reasonable? This is an investment and all investments come
with risks. Even if Matthew loses at the medical conference, those investors can’t do anything to us
because they made the investment with their own free will.
Are you trying to force me to kill myself by asking so much from me after I’ve already agreed to cancel
the investment?”
