After Matthew and Sasha came home in the evening, they saw the peeved faces of James and Helen.
“Dad, Mom, why are you guys home? Aren’t you supposed to be away for two to three days?” Sasha
asked, feeling surprised.
Helen responded angrily, “For what? This place has already been turned upside down after we’ve been
away for just one day. What’s going to happen if we were gone for three days?”
Sasha frowned as she was caught off guard by how cranky Helen was.
Meanwhile, Demi was relaxedly sitting on the couch.
Without a doubt, Sasha reckoned that this had to be Demi’s doing.
So, Sasha quickly explained, “Mom, did Demi tell you about it? Listen, whatever she said is not true. You
have no idea what happened here. I—”
Helen pounded the table. “Shut up! Matthew, get over here!”
Sasha panicked. “Mom, can you please at least listen to me? Demi brought some shady people to the
house and made a mess—”
Helen yelped, “What shady people? They are all our business partners and will be the future customers
of our pharmacy. We permitted them to come over!”
Hearing this confused Sasha. How could those people be their customers?
Meanwhile, Helen angrily stared at Matthew, stating, “Matthew, what do you think you’re doing? Do you
think it makes you look good when you force others to drink until they throw up just because you’re a
heavyweight?
Are you out of your mind? Is this how your family treats customers? Now that you’ve offended all of
them, do you have any idea how much loss we’ve suffered?
I forgive you for not contributing anything financially to this family, but what do you think you’re doing
when you destroy our business like this? You’ve been living with us and using our resources for the past
three years, but what did we do to you for you to do this to us?”
Sasha yelled, “Mom, how can you say that? Those people were gangsters. What kind of customers are
they? They came here as if there was a birthday party and turned the entire house upside down.
Besides, it wasn’t Matthew who forced them to drink; they were the ones who forced Matthew to drink.
Who can you blame when those thirty-odd people got into a drinking competition with Matthew and lost?
Hearing that, Helen howled, “Shut up! The only thing you do best is protect him; look at what he’s turned
into? And, did you hit Liam last night? Where did you get the courage to hit my son-in-law?
Sasha widened her eyes and responded, “Mom, w-what does that mean? Is Liam your only son-in-law
now?”
Demi sneered, “What kind of son-in-law lives with his wife’s parents?”
At this moment, Sasha lost it. “What’s wrong with that? Again, let me say this to you; if you aren’t happy,
just take it that I’ve already left the house. We can move out right now!”
Helen was extremely upset when she heard this. She proceeded to grab the mug on the table and
smashed it on the floor, howling, “Am I dead to you now? When I asked you to find a husband who’s
willing to live with us, that was so that you guys could take care of us two in the future.
We aren’t even that old yet and you’re already talking to us about moving out. Can we still expect you to
take care of us in the future? Did you never have the intention of taking care of us when we get older?’
Sasha’s eyes turned red from anger. “Mom, that’s not what I meant… What I mean is that they’re both
your sons-in-law. Y-You can’t be biased!”
Helen shouted, “Me? Biased? What happened was that Matthew beat Liam up, not the other way
around. Should I just let this pass without even finding out why? I’d actually be biased if I chose to
remain silent!”
