Do You Want Them to Get a Divorce?
James was stunned upon hearing Sasha’s words. Helen shifted her gaze toward James before repeating
Sasha’s question. “That’s right. Where did your twenty million go? You know what I did with my ten
million now, James. But what about your twenty million?”
A rather uneasy expression formed on James’s face as he stood up. “What twenty million are you talking
about? I have no idea what you mean! I never took anything from the construction company!”
“Nonsense!” Helen shouted. “Who are you trying to fool? You definitely took the twenty million from the
construction company and—”
“Stop creating a fuss! I’m wasting my time talking to you guys!” James growled before he stormed
toward his bedroom.
Helen was fuming at this point. “Don’t run away just yet! Explain yourself, James! Where did the twenty
million go? Did you use it to get another woman outside of our marriage? I’ll do anything to make you
speak now, James…!” Helen shouted while following him to the bedroom.
Sasha was confused by the entire situation. I was trying to have a proper conversation. Why did the both
of them run off just like that? Right when Sasha turned to look at Liam, she heard Demi shouting at her.
“That’s enough, Sasha! Mom and Dad just had a reconciliation, and you brought up another issue to
make them fight again! What are you trying to do? Our parents aren’t getting any younger. Do you want
them to get a divorce? I’ve never seen a child as ungrateful as you! You have no right to be their
daughter! Forget it. I don’t have the energy to speak to you. Let’s go to bed, Liam!” Demi dragged Liam
along, and they both hurried off into their bedroom.
It was clear to Sasha—all of them were simply trying to avoid her. She knitted her brows thoughtfully.
Once she got to her room, she turned and looked at Matthew. “There must be something wrong with the
construction company’s accounts, Matthew. Why don’t we just fire Liam? The construction company will
just be a black hole that eats up all our funds otherwise. I don’t even know how much more money
they’re going to take!”
However, Matthew shook his head in disagreement. “You need to calm down, Sasha. If we fire Liam right
now, Mom and Dad might think that we’re trying to go against them. The fights will never end at home if
that happens. You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll handle this matter.”
Sasha nodded after looking into Matthew’s eyes. There was no one she trusted more than Matthew.
At the same time, Helen continued to shout as she made her way into the master bedroom downstairs.
She wanted James to come clean about the twenty million that he had taken. Guilt spread across
James’s face the moment he shut the bedroom door. “Oh, can you stop making such a huge fuss?
Twenty million this, twenty million that! Do you have to play along with Sasha the moment she starts on
that topic? Do you want her to know that we both took money from the construction company?”
Helen was tongue-tied for a brief moment before she continued shouting at him. “Stop changing the
topic! Tell me what you did with the twenty million! I’m warning you right now, James—if you really have
another woman outside, you… We’ll get a divorce, and I’ll get all of your savings!”
James glared at her. “Are you crazy? Since when have I ever had another woman outside of our
marriage? I invested the money into some stocks!”
Helen froze. “Are you telling the truth? W-Why didn’t you just tell me if you purchased stocks?”
James sighed. “I lost nearly ten million after purchasing some stocks… H-How am I supposed to tell you
that? That’s a huge loss—Sasha would never let me hear the end of it if she finds out about this.”
Helen widened her eyes. “What? You lost ten million through an investment? You idiot, James… D-Do
you know how hard it is to earn money nowadays? We could’ve done so many things with ten million.
We could’ve bought a house, but… You lost all of it just like that! You idiot!”
“Why don’t you reflect on your own issues first?!” James growled. “Do you think you’re any better than
me? I invested the money with a chance of getting huge returns, but you gave your money away to
Minerva! I’d consider that a greater loss than mine!”
