Have You Forgotten Your Relatives Now That You’re Rich?
An argument broke out between Demi and Minerva, and everyone simply felt annoyed after listening to
them for a while.
Norman slammed the table said in anger, “That’s enough! Shut up, both of you! Why are the both of you
arguing about this? There’s no point to it at all. Regardless, even if it’s Minerva’s family that was wrong in
this matter, you guys shouldn’t say things like that. It’s so disappointing! We’re a family, so how could you
say that you’re not allowing them into your house again? Do you mean to say that you don’t want us to
visit your place as well, Demi?”
Upon hearing that, the rest of the family glared at Demi furiously, and she was dumbstruck. “Uncle
Norman, I-I didn’t mean that!”
Paula snorted indifferently. “That’s what you say, but who knows what you have on your mind? Despite
Chloe helping your family so much back then, you still threw her children out of your place now. We
wouldn’t even dare to think of visiting your place! Sheesh, it’s true that people change when they
become wealthy. You don’t even want your family anymore! Norman, I think we better go home. Now
that Helen is rich, she’s no longer your sister, and she wouldn’t give two hoots about anything we say
to her anymore.”
Those cruel and mean words made Helen’s blood boil, and her face turned scarlet. “Paula, don’t spout
nonsense! Let’s speak facts!”
After slamming the table loudly, Paula retorted, “Looking at the facts, you guys are still the ones in the
wrong! Even if the young ones made a mistake, you should put emphasis on educating them as their
elder instead of throwing them out of the house just because you’re loaded. Uncle Hector, say
something. Is this how an elder should be?”
“Exactly.” Hector agreed with her while nodding slowly. “How can you say things like that, Helen? That’s
so disappointing!”
With all of her family members blaming her, Helen felt incredibly wronged, and her eyes turned red from
the frustration she was feeling.
Next to her, James was holding his fists. If Hector wasn’t here, he would have blown his top already a
long time ago.
Again, Minerva started to criticize and shift all the blame on the Cunninghams. Despite Demi’s efforts to
argue with her several times, the Freemans still ended up siding with Minerva, especially Norman and
Paula, who kept speaking up for her.
As Sasha listened to all of it, a look of frustration took over her face, and she whispered to Matthew, “All
of them are so biased. They keep speaking up for the Campbells. It’s too much!”
“That’s just normal,” Matthew replied in a soft voice.
Startled, she asked, “Why is that normal?”
“If they can help the Campbells to get some money from us today, then they will have an excuse in the
future to ask us for money. It’s not a family gathering tonight, and neither are these people here to judge
the matter. To put it simply, everyone is here just to get some money from us.”
Sasha was dumbfounded. “How… can they do this? Why should we give them money?”
While glancing at her, he answered, “A man is innocent until people are jealous of his wealth. Just
because you’re rich, they think that you have to share your wealth with them.”
“T-This doesn’t make sense at all!” she uttered in frustration.
However, Matthew merely grinned. That was just the way some relatives were; they would look down on
someone when that person was penniless, but they would try ways and means to get money out of that
same person when he or she was wealthy. If that person refused to give in to their demands, they would
even curse him or her for being a rich but heartless person. Regardless, that was the reason why some
relatives were difficult to deal with.
After debating for a while, it was Hector who slammed the table this time. “All said and done, you guys
are the ones at fault this time, Helen! We’re a family and the closest people to each other. How could you
do something like this? I know you’ve made some money over the years, but still, you shouldn’t forget
your origins!”
