Demi screamed frantically as she struggled to rush toward Matthew.
“He sent someone to rescue us? That is something he is supposed to do! If it weren’t for him, would we
have to suffer such torture? All of this happened because of him! I was locked in a dog cage for a few
days and almost died there. It’s all because of him!”
James and Helen hurriedly went over to hold her back. With a frown, James asked, “Demi, what really
happened? Tell me so I can help you decide what to do!”
Meanwhile, Helen was glaring at Matthew angrily and she gritted her teeth and said, “Matthew, you really
brought harm to my daughter! Demi, what did he do? Tell us everything. I’ll do you justice even if I have
to die!”
Sasha also looked at Matthew strangely. She really couldn’t figure out what could Matthew do to harm
Demi.
Demi sobbed as if she was extremely aggrieved and said, “We were captured by the Hughes because of
him…”
Hearing this, Sasha was immediately annoyed and she angrily roared, “Demi, you have to speak
responsibly! Do you think that we don’t know that you fell into the trap yourselves? You went there on
your own accord and that was how you were captured! Travis told us himself! Don’t even think about
framing Matthew!”
Demi was startled and she looked slightly embarrassed. Indeed, she wanted to shift all the blame onto
Matthew and she never thought that her family already knew the truth.
After a moment of silence, Demi gritted her teeth and said, “I haven’t finished talking yet. You’re right, we
went to find Travis. We only wanted to explain the situation to him because we didn’t want the Hughes to
become enemies with us. However, because he offended Travis, he vented his anger on us and kept us
there. Matthew, you should be the one to suffer! Instead, Liam and I suffered for you. Don’t you think it’s
your fault?”
Matthew was at a loss of words. How can this be my responsibility?
Meanwhile, Sasha was infuriated. “Demi, don’t you have a conscience? Nobody forced you to suffer for
Matthew! You went there on your own two feet! If you didn’t run over to look for Travis, none of this would
have happened. If Travis has a grudge against us, why didn’t he capture us and lock us in dog cages?”
After a moment of silence, Demi got furious out of embarrassment and roared, “Sasha, what do you
mean? Why did we go and find Travis? It’s because of you and this family! According to you, both of us
had nothing to do so we purposely went over to seek death, right? We deserve it, right? Sasha, do you
have any conscience?”
Sasha gritted her teeth and said, “Stop talking nonsense because I know you. It’s all because you’re not
willing to give up on your dream of becoming wealthy and you were trying to befriend one of the Ten
Greatest Families of Eastshire.”
With her face reddened, Demi screamed, “Sasha, you have no conscience!”
Sasha instantly rebuked, “Yes, I have no conscience! However, at least I’m not the kind of person who
pretends that they didn’t see someone drug my family member’s drink and even deliberately urges her to
drink it!”
This made Demi speechless. All of sudden, she whipped around and ran to the window. “I don’t want to
live anymore! Whatever I do is wrong and whatever your loser husband does is always right! Forget it,
just let me die! What’s the use of living?”
Helen hurriedly held Demi in her arms and anxiously said, “Sasha, how can you speak to your sister like
that? She’s your little sister. Can’t you be more tolerant with her? Do you have to make us mad to feel
satisfied?”
Sasha trembled with anger as she had always tolerated Demi ever since they were young. However,
nobody had ever thought about her feelings, and now, she was not going to give in for the man who
loved her!
