Matthew and the others didn’t linger around in President White’s house, so they returned to The Grand
Garden. As soon as they arrived home, they saw Liam and Demi collapsed on the sofa. Liam’s ear and
the multiple injuries Demi suffered were already treated and bandaged. The incident had taken a toll on
both of them, so they seemed haggard.
Seeing both of them had Sasha all riled up. Without a word, she rushed forward to give Liam two loud
slaps. “Get the f*ck out of here! This is my house, so you have no right to be in here!”
Demi jumped to Liam’s defense. “Sasha, what do you think you’re doing? Are you crazy? Why did you
slap my husband?”
Upon hearing that, Sasha turned to strike Demi in anger. “Are you seriously asking that? Why did you try
to do harm to my husband? Why did you poison him and try to kill him by staging a car crash?”
Demi was rendered speechless by her questions. After a moment’s silence, she muttered, “I-I don’t
know what you’re talking about. Mom, Dad, you should discipline her. Just look at what she did to Liam!
How could she slap him without reason?”
In response to that, Liam let out a whimper. Sasha’s slaps had torn his wounds open, staining the gauze
on both of his ears red. At the same time, both James and Helen were wearing a livid expression, and
anger was evident in their voice. “Demi, there’s no point in denying what you have done! Your deeds are
now known to the public! Your sister is right to slap you, because you deserve it!”
Demi had never gone through a situation in which her parents didn’t side with her, so she was shocked
into silence. After a while, she began to throw a tantrum. “Mom, Dad, why would you say that? Look at
the state that I’m in! Don’t you feel sorry for me at all? You are accusing us of attempting to murder
Matthew, but he’s still alive! He’s here with us, totally unscathed, whereas Liam and I are a mess! W-Why
are you being so partial toward Matthew?”
Meanwhile, Liam’s voice was trembling as he spoke. “Mom, Dad, just look at me! My ears got cut!”
Sasha was shaking with anger, because she never knew Demi was capable of being so brazen. James
was even more furious than her, so he rushed forth to give Liam and Demi a few more slaps on the face.
“Shut up! Will you only be satisfied if Matthew dies? You ingrates! If it weren’t for him, you would have
been chopped to bits to be fed to the fishes in the sea! You wouldn’t even be here in the first place!”
Helen was also wearing a look of chagrin. “Demi, how could you be this ungrateful? Both of you nearly
killed Matthew by helping President White. Yet, he was the one who ended up trying to assassinate you,
whereas Matthew was the one who saved you! Why can’t you at least show some gratitude? W-Why do I
have a daughter like you?”
The revelation left Demi dumbfounded. “D-Did Matthew really save us?”
James yelled, “Who else do you think would save you? You would’ve already been dead if it weren’t for
Matthew! Just compare yourselves to him! Look at what you have done! You aren’t even feeling sorry
after committing those crimes! You didn’t even thank him for saving you when he repaid your evil deeds
with kindness! You’re such shameless b*stards!”
It wasn’t until then that Demi quieted down. While hanging her head low, she apologized. “Mom, Dad, I
really had no idea that this was what had happened. Matthew, I’m sorry. I-I know I did you wrong.”
However, Matthew didn’t even acknowledge her, for he didn’t care about her apology at all. From his
perspective, Demi and Liam should have paid for what they had done with their lives. The only reason he
rescued them was because he didn’t want to see Sasha distressed. It didn’t mean he was willing to
forgive them.
