Stupefied from being reprimanded, Demi suddenly lost the nerve to speak up.
She did not realize that Matthew had kept all that anger bottled up.
It did not matter that they forced him to drink, but they had crossed the line by forcing Sasha to drink too.
Matthew was not a fool. When they forced her to drink, he knew that they had evil intentions.
Not to mention, Demi was aiding them. How could he not be angry?
Matthew respected James and Helen, but that did not mean that he also had to show the same respect
to Demi and Liam.
On normal occasions, he would have just let it go.
But this time, they crossed the line. Why would he still show them mercy?
After a moment of silence, Demi started throwing a tantrum. “Matthew, how dare you shout at me? Have
you forgotten that my family is the one feeding you? You eat my food and live in my house. Y-You’re a
spoiled good-for-nothing! Where did you find the nerve to treat me this way? Best believe that I’ll call my
parents and have them deal with you!”
Liam shouted, “Larson! Did you just yell at my wife? These people are my friends. What do you think
you’re doing? Do you think I—”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Matthew grabbed a bottle of liquor and smashed it on Liam’s
head.
Liam fell to the ground while cradling his head and blood soon trickled down his hand.
Demi let out a shriek and quickly ran to help him up. “Honey! Honey, are you okay? Have you gone
crazy, Matthew? I-I’m going to call the cops on you!”
This time, Sasha chimed in boldly, “Sure, call the police! If you do, I’ll let them know that all of you
trespassed into my home intending to rob us! My husband was just acting out of self-defense. If you
really want to humiliate yourself, Demi, I’ll let you sit in jail with him!”
Demi was mortified. “Sasha. I… I’m your sister!”
Sasha retorted, “You still have the audacity to say that in front of me? When they were forcing me to
drink earlier, you didn’t even stop them. What’s the point of bringing up our family ties now? Demi, I’m
warning you. You better behave yourself after this incident today. Otherwise, even if I have to cut ties
with Dad and Mom, I will not allow Liam to be in charge of the construction company, and I won’t let you
take over the pharmacy!”
Feeling frightened, Demi did not dare to make a fuss anymore.
She knew Sasha’s temper. If Sasha got pushed too far, even their parents would not be able to control
her.
Matthew looked over at Dionysus and threatened, “Are you going to drink these four bottles of liquor or
should I smash all of them on your head?”
Dionysus’ face turned pale as he realized that he would not be walking out of there that day if he did not
drink.
Alas, with a tormented look, he lifted the pot and took one gulp after another.
But, before he even made it through half of it, he dashed to the bathroom to throw up.
Nonetheless, Matthew did not care.
When Dionysus came back out again, he let him continue.
By the end of it, Dionysus had thrown up four times—he threw up blood the final time.
Still, Matthew forced him to finish everything.
Nonetheless, Matthew kept watch to make sure that he did not die. However, he would, inevitably, fall
gravely ill after that.
Not to mention, he would probably never drink again.
Everyone around them watched on with pale faces.
They wanted to torment Matthew, but eventually, it was their own god of alcohol who crumbled.
Silence fell as they looked at Dionysus lying unconscious on the ground. No one dared to say a word.
At that moment, Matthew took a step back and staggered as if his legs had gone weak.
Sasha immediately held him up. “Are you okay, Matthew?”
His face and ears were red. It looked like the alcohol had hit him as he waved his hand aimlessly in the
air.
He was actually pretending in order to get the others to drink.
The crowd let out the breath they had been holding. It looks like Matthew has reached his limit too.
Demi was fuming with anger. With clenched teeth, she shot a stealthy glance at her friends to make them
use this opportunity to get Matthew to drink more.
