Minerva Did It
James shook his head. “I have no idea what’s going on either.”
Demi pouted. “Matthew, if you really want to save my mom, quit yapping! The Lewis Family wants you,
so you can just go in exchange for my mom.”
A furious Sasha asked, “Do you hear yourself talking, Demi?”
“What, did I miss a point?” Demi retorted. “All this has happened because of him, so he should be the
one to solve the problem, right? What do you think, Dad?”
He glared at her. “Demi, how many times have I told you to be quiet? Also, this incident isn’t entirely
Matthew’s fault. Our whole family is involved in this. This incident happened because of Leia!”
Sasha could feel the tears swimming in her eyes; she never thought she would see the day when her
father would speak up for Matthew.
Matthew also felt touched because it was the first time ever that James had stood on his side.
Demi, on the other hand, was losing her mind.
Her parents’ recent change in attitude toward Matthew was far too great and she was starting to feel a
threat looming over the horizon.
If they grew to completely trust him, how much of the family property would be left for her in the end?
“Dad, I’m saying all this to save Mom! She’s no longer younger and now that the Lewis Family has
kidnapped her, what should we do if something bad happens? Matthew said that he can save her, but he
hasn’t done anything! How is he going to save her? Also, there are so many people in the Lewis Family
and it’s even one of the Ten Greatest Families! How would he be able to save Mom just like that? Since
he’s young and strong, why can’t he just go in exchange for Mom?” Demi asked angrily.
James’ expression turned dark. The matter had now involved his wife and he worried greatly for her.
Matthew responded calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely rescue Mom and bring her back! Sasha, who was it
that called you just now? Also, are you very sure that they have Mom?”
Sasha hastily replied, “Yes, I am! They even sent me a video—look!”
She then unlocked her phone and played the video.
It was a small room where Helen was thrown onto the floor with her limbs all tied up.
Not to mention, there was a knife held against her neck.
A cold voice spoke in the video, “We’ll give you one hour to ask Matthew to come over! If not, we’ll start
by breaking one of this woman’s legs!”
Demi quickly added, “See! It’s been 20 minutes since then! Matthew, how are you going to rescue Mom?
I’m sticking with my words. The best solution is to hand you over for Mom! The Lewis Family is targeting
you, so we can only get Mom home in one piece if you go!”
Matthew ignored her as he replied in a low voice, “Sasha, send the video to me. Everyone, stay at home
and don’t go anywhere.”
Sasha quickly forwarded the video to him.
James grabbed Matthew’s arm and pleaded in a shaky voice, “Matthew, y-you have to rescue her! I
admit that we weren’t nice to you in the past. T-This is our fault, b-but she’s Sasha’s mother after all…”
He then patted James on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, Dad. Leave it to me!”
After briskly walking out of the Cunningham Residence, the first thing he did was give Tiger a call. “How’s
the investigation going?”
Tiger replied, “I just discovered some leads and was about to call you! Matthew, I think it’s Minerva.”
Matthew frowned. “Minerva? How is she involved?”
“We found out that Minerva was the one who called your mother-in-law and it was after the call that she
left the hospital! So, we suspect that Minerva lured your mother-in-law out of the hospital!”
