After these exchanges, Sasha almost broke down. There was no way she could reason with her parents.
Meanwhile, Matthew sighed and jumped in, “Sasha, let’s transfer the property to your parents tomorrow
then.”
Hearing this worried Sasha. “How can we do that? This house belongs to you. No one’s taking it away
from you!”
However, this news was music to Helen’s ears. She then proceeded to say, “Look at that. Matthew is
indeed the most understanding one. Since you’re being so considerate, Matthew, I won’t drill you on the
incident with Liam. Please get along well with others going forward since we are one family.”
These words agitated Sasha so much that she began to quiver. Just as she was about to talk back to
Helen, Matthew stopped her as he knew well that there was no point in arguing with them at this
moment.
After all, this house did not matter too much to him.
Right at this moment, Demi leaned in and said, “Mom, I’ll just let the incident with Liam pass. But what
about those friends of mine? Right now, they’re asking us to apologize to them and pay for their medical
expenses. Let’s have Matthew handle it, shall we?
Helen felt slightly embarrassed as she had already obtained the property. She reckoned that it would be
difficult for her to ask Matthew to fork out the money for the medical expenses of those people.
James piped in, “He should be held accountable for what he did. Matthew, since you caused this, you
should take care of it. Buy some gifts tomorrow, bring them to the hospital, and apologize to them.
Saying some nice words to them will go a long way.”
Sasha was extremely flustered. “Dad, w-why should Matthew go and apologize? He’s already given you
this property. He’s done his best. D-Don’t be too much!”
James gave Sasha a stare and refuted, “Who’s being too much now? This property is only temporarily
being transferred to us. By the time we age, this property will go back to you again. Do you think we
really want to take this property from you?
We’re just worried you’re too young and are unable to safeguard your possession, so we thought we
should help you safeguard it. This property and the apology are two separate matters. If you think that
we are after your property, then don’t transfer it to us. From now on, we’ll live our own lives. How does
that sound?”
Again, Sasha was trembling with anger. “Dad, can you please make some sense? Whenever I try to
reason with you, you respond by telling me how unfilial I am.
When have I ever been unfilial? I feel that you two are absolutely wrong in this incident. Those people
are at fault, so why should Matthew go and apologize?”
Upon hearing this, James growled, “Those are our customers. Even if they aren’t entirely right, we can’t
leave them like that. We’re still planning on running our business—do you want my pharmacy business
to fail?”
Sasha responded, “They aren’t our customers. Demi was lying to you! Why not try asking around to see
if any of them is in the pharmaceutical industry?”
Hearing that, Demi immediately rebutted, “The fact that they aren’t in this business right now doesn’t
mean they won’t be in the future. After hearing that we’re planning on opening a pharmacy, they thought
about investing in our business as our business partners.”
Not expecting to hear this rebuttal from Demi, Sasha was stunned and did not know how to rebuke.
James then jumped in in his deep voice, “Let’s do it this way. Matthew, go and visit them at the hospital
tomorrow morning to apologize. Remember; if you don’t take care of this well, don’t come back!”
Following that, James went back to his room while Helen gave Matthew a look and commented,
“Matthew, you’re truly a considerate person. I trust that you know what to do.
We think this is for your own good. Alas, it’s better to have more friends than enemies. Since this matter
relates to our pharmacy business, please don’t disappoint us.”
Meanwhile, Demi looked all delighted and full of herself when she stated, “Did you hear that, Matthew?
Please be proactive tomorrow morning, and remember to be nice. If they don’t accept your apology, don’t
come back!”
