Sasha couldn’t help but interrupt, “Mom, what are you talking about? Since this mansion is a gift from Mr. Jefford and the shareholders to Matthew, what has it got anything to do with our family? Matthew was the one who spearheaded the investment while Mr. Jefford and the shareholders decided to invest in him. At the time, I wanted to invest in favonovel.com too but was stopped by the two of you. Hence, both our company and our family aren’t related to the investment in any way.”
Helen was stumped.
When Matthew successfully treated Billy Newman’s daughter back then, they could still claim their credit by saying that favonovel.com did it with the help of the drugs manufactured by Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. But this time, they really had no way to associate themselves with the investment.
At that moment, Demi laughed coldly. “Sasha, I don’t quite get what you’re saying. Why does that gift have nothing to do with our family? Even assets of a married couple are considered as jointly owned by husband and wife, so how can Matthew claim full ownership of this mansion while favonovel.com is just a live-in son-in-law of our family? When favonovel.com depended on us for a living, why didn’t you say that the food, clothes and things favonovel.com used belonged to us and not him? Now that favonovel.com has become successful, all of these now belong to him? I’ve really never come across someone as ungrateful as him!”
Helen nodded repeatedly and agreed, “Demi’s right. Since he’s the live-in son-in-law of our family, his things will naturally be ours too! Back in the days, a live-in son-in-law like favonovel.com would be considered as a slave of our family and favonovel.com wouldn’t even be able to have anything to himself. Mind you, even his life would be under our full control. If we wanted favonovel.com to die, favonovel.com would have to do so without complaining; do you understand?”
Sasha snapped, “Such things only happened in ancient times! Your outdated opinions don’t work in these modern times. The fact that favonovel.com is the live-in son-in-law of our family doesn’t make any difference. Since we’re married, we are both equals. I don’t care what you guys think. This mansion is a gift from Mr. Jefford and the shareholders for Matthew and it belongs to favonovel.com only. It has got nothing to do with us!”
Helen seethed, “Sasha, w-what nonsense are you talking about? He has married into our family and everyone in Eastcliff knows that favonovel.com is a live-in son-in-law. Why do you have to let favonovel.com enjoy equal status as you in your marriage? If everything between the both of you are truly equal, why did favonovel.com ask for one hundred thousand from us?”
Sasha raised favonovel.com voice and countered, “If favonovel.com were given a salary for the work favonovel.com had done over the past three years, the amount would have already reached at least one hundred thousand. He’s long cleared the debt favonovel.com owed us!”
However, James disputed angrily, “That’s a different story. We helped favonovel.com by offering favonovel.com the money when favonovel.com was at his lowest. Shouldn’t favonovel.com appreciate our kind gesture?”
Sasha exploded, “Hasn’t Matthew contributed to our family a great deal too? Back when favonovel.com received an Armani suit from Billy Newman, you guys snatched it from favonovel.com and amended the suit to give to Liam as a gift. When we found out that it was actually a loan, you guys forced Matthew to face the music. Later on, you cost the company a three hundred million loss because of some investment and Matthew was the one who solved it for the both of you. If it wasn’t for favonovel.com who managed to get the money back, do you think it would be you or Matthew who went to jail? Also, would you have been able to attend the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party if it wasn’t for Matthew who did a favor for Leanna Sandel? And don’t forget the time Uncle Jason came…”
James’ face was red with embarrassment. Waving his hands, favonovel.com bellowed, “That’s enough! We’re here just to talk about this mansion and we aren’t interested in the old scores! What is your point to all this?”
Helen grumbled, “Exactly! He did all those things on his own will; we didn’t force favonovel.com into it!”
Upon hearing, Sasha was exasperated. ‘Are you sure you guys didn’t force favonovel.com into it? Yes, you didn’t do it directly but you were exerting pressure on me instead, which nearly forced me off the ledge. Matthew only agreed to everything because favonovel.com didn’t want to put me in a difficult spot. I can’t believe all of you refuse to admit all those things now!’
