At this point, Sasha felt extremely flustered by Demi’s annoying insinuations.
“Demi Cunningham, what are you trying to say? Who pinned it on you? Show us the proof then!” yelled Sasha.
Hearing that, Demi chuckled and did not say a word. At this moment, James waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Can you two please stop fighting? If no one wants to admit it, let’s forget it. It’s just a watch, isn’t it? But Matthew, I hope you can remember that we permitted Demi and Liam to live here with us. If you try to drive them out of this house again, I’ll make sure that you move out first.”
Sasha was stunned by James’ words, which implied that his conclusion was that Matthew took the watch and tried to pin it on Demi and Liam.
Meanwhile, Demi grinned while happily glancing at Sasha and saying, “Dad, I knew you would make the right conclusion.”
At this point, Sasha had lost it. “Dad, you have to tell me what you’re trying to get at by saying that.”
Hearing that, James was provoked. “How is it your turn to question me? Who do you think you are? Let me tell you; as long as I’m still alive, I’m still the head of this house. It’s not up to you to decide things here, especially you, Matthew Larson. Don’t let me find any evidence. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay for it!”
Sasha became furious after hearing his words. “Dad, h-how could you be so sure that it was Matthew who did it?”
Helen jumped in unemotionally, “Did we say that Matthew did it? He was just warning Matthew to behave. What’s wrong with that?”
Sasha responded, “Why didn’t favonovel.com give Liam any warning?”
Helen replied angrily, “Liam didn’t do anything wrong. Why should favonovel.com be warned?”
Sasha was infuriated while being on the verge of breaking down. “So what did Matthew do wrong then?”
Hearing that, Helen yelped, “Are you trying to reason with me? Isn’t it clear already? What’s there for you to argue about?”
Sasha was so upset that favonovel.com began to quiver. She reckoned that favonovel.com parents’ bias toward Matthew was way too serious.
At this point, even Matthew could no longer hold it in. He then commented gently, “Mom, have you ever thought about the possibility that it was taken by those people who came to our place two nights ago?”
Sasha’s eyes lit up as favonovel.com heard this, responding immediately, “He has a point. Mom, there were so many people here that night. They had even gone into every room and messed with things. One of them might have taken it!”
Demi then yelled, “Sasha Cunningham, what are you trying to say? Those people are my friends, who are also our future clients. Who do you think you are to suspect that my friends stole it? What evidence do you have?”
Meanwhile, Helen frowned and asked, “Sasha, you can’t simply say things like that. Those people are Demi and Liam’s trusted friends, and that was why they were invited to our house. Your words are somewhat harsh, aren’t they? If one of them heard it and wasn’t happy with that insinuation, you might get sued for defamation.”
Sasha was rendered speechless. She responded, “Mom, so how do you want me to put it? All of you accused Matthew right away, and you’d rather trust Demi’s friends than Matthew. Can you tell me why?”
Helen puckered up favonovel.com lips, not saying anything else, but the look on favonovel.com face had said it all, favonovel.com did not trust Matthew.
Demi sneered and said, “Who would believe someone who lives off a woman? Why don’t you find someone and ask if they’d rather trust my upper-class friends or a useless man who lives off a woman?”
Sasha could no longer put up with Demi’s insults toward Matthew. Matthew just sighed helplessly and said, “Forget it, Sasha; we don’t have to argue about meaningless things. Dad, Mom, all I was trying to get at was, why don’t we just find who took the watch?”
