Sasha’s face turned red with anger and she gritted her teeth as she muttered, “I’ll save her but I will not
do it by sacrificing Matthew! Remember this, Matthew doesn’t owe us anything. Instead, we’re the ones
who owe him!”
Helen anxiously asked, “Then how are you planning to save her? The kidnappers have made it clear that
they are targeting Matthew!”
Sasha didn’t say anything. Instead, she picked up her phone and dialed the man. Soon, the man’s deep
voice could be heard. “What’s wrong? Have you not done what I asked yet? Are you trying to test my
patience?”
Sasha took a deep breath before she said solemnly, “Name a price. How much money do I have to pay
for you to set my sister free? Just tell me any number.
I’ll definitely gather the money even if I have to sell Cunningham Pharmaceuticals and all my assets. I
can even get a loan!”
Sasha had already made a decision. She would save Demi even if she would be drowned in debt.
However, no matter what, she would not allow Matthew to sacrifice himself for this!
The man sneered, “How much is Cunningham Pharmaceuticals worth? I don’t even care that Matthew
has ten billion. All I want is for his reputation to be completely ruined!
Remember to do what I say and don’t call back anymore. Otherwise, with every call you make, I’ll take
out one of your sister’s organs. If you think your sister can survive that, you’re welcome to try.”
After the man hung up the phone, Sasha’s face immediately turned pale. Now that the man had made it
clear that he didn’t want money, there was nothing else she could do.
In a trembling voice, Helen mumbled, “I told you that it wouldn’t work…”
All of a sudden, Helen fell to her knees and she grabbed Sasha’s arm. “Sasha, I beg you. Please call
Matthew now and ask him to save Demi! Demi is his family too!”
Sasha looked troubled and she helplessly said, “Mom, you’re doing it again! Can’t we just have a
conversation? Get to your feet. We’ll think of another way.”
Helen anxiously said, “There’s no other way! The only way to save Demi is for you to call Matthew.
Sasha, if you don’t call him, I’ll continue kneeling. If anything bad happens to your sister, I’ll die together
with her!”
Seeing this, James furiously yelled, “Sasha, how can you be so cruel and cold? Your mother is already
kneeling down to beg you but you still aren’t willing to call Matthew? Are you waiting for me to kneel
down to you too?”
Annoyed, Sasha said, “Dad, Mom, can’t you two be reasonable? What right do we have to ask Matthew
to sacrifice for us? You said that Demi is his family but have you ever treated him as family? Ever since
we got married, all you do is scold him, hit him, and force me to divorce him every day.
Look at what you’ve done in order to get me to marry a wealthy husband and fulfill your dreams of living
a luxurious life! If Matthew didn’t appear in time to save me, I-I would’ve been r*ped by Travis Hughes.
By then, all your dreams would mean nothing! How could you ask me to call Matthew to ask him to give
up everything?”
James and Helen looked embarrassed. After a moment of silence, James gritted his teeth and said,
“Sasha, do you really have to be so petty?
We’re a family so blood relations are the most important! Perhaps we indeed have done something
wrong in the past, but it was all for your own good! Besides, Matthew will lose the competition anyway.
Since the results are already destined, why can’t we ask him to save Demi?”
Helen nodded in agreement. “Your father’s right! Since he is already destined to lose, why can’t he do us
a favor and save Demi?! Can’t he do even one simple favor?”
