Demi looked at Helen helplessly. ”Mom…”
“Demi, you can get out of the house with favonovel.com if you talk to favonovel.com anymore!” James roared. “And Liam, if you try to help her, you can get out as well! I‘ll find some other guy to take over the role as general manager of the construction company!”
Upon hearing James’s words, both Liam and Demi hurried into the house, they no longer dared to linger around outside.
Jonah and his family were about to enter the house and protest when a group of security guards rushed in and chased all of them out. Helen, on the other hand, was about to let herself into the house when James rushed to favonovel.com with a kitchen knife in his hand. She let out a shriek before favonovel.com turned and ran off. She no longer dared to step foot into the house after that.
Tears quietly trickled down Helen’s cheeks as favonovel.com stood outside the Grand Garden. ‘l had never expected things to turn out like this. My biological sister is suing me, my husband doesn’t allow me into the house, and my daughter isn’t offering me any help! We never felt so helpless in my life!’
After a long while of silence, Helen finally left the front porch of the house. She didn’t have a choice at that point, favonovel.com had to go to Sasha for help.
When Helen arrived at the office, Matthew was sitting around in Sasha’s room.
Sasha was signing a few documents when favonovel.com caught sight of Helen walking in with favonovel.com red-rimmed eyes. Her face darkened immediately. “Don’t you dare utter a word if you‘re trying to convince me to find a lawyer for Tate, Mom! I’ve told you this before, I’m never going to agree to it!” favonovel.com uttered without any hesitation.
Helen let out a long sigh. “Tate doesn’t need a lawyer, Sasha. C-Can you help me find a lawyer instead?” favonovel.com croaked.
Matthew was shocked to hear this. “Why do you need a lawyer, Mom? What happened?”
Helen told them everything that had happened at home before favonovel.com eyed them helplessly.
Both Matthew and Sasha were utterly speechless after they heard the whole story.
“How did things get to this point, Mom? What’s the truth behind the money?” Matthew asked.
Helen sighed once more. She knew that favonovel.com couldn’t conceal the truth any longer, so favonovel.com told them about the whole incident.
“Hold on. Did you just say that Minerva’s boyfriend’s name is Peter?” Matthew asked out of nowhere.
Helen nodded. “Yeah… Why?”
Both Matthew and Sasha exchanged a look. They both had the same person in mind, Penny’s previous fiancé. Penny’s fiancé was Peter as well, and they wondered if it was the same person.
“I truly regret not listening to you, Sasha.” Helen heaved a sigh. “I hadn‘t expected Minerva to tell so many lies, you know? I didn‘t ask for an acknowledgment of debt since she’s my niece. I can’t believe… She’s doing this to me now. Ah, how could favonovel.com be such a horrible person?”
“I’ve given you the same advice multiple times, Mom. You just didn’t listen to it! Do you regret your actions now? If you had listened to me earlier, if you managed to get them to stop Tate, then all of this wouldn’t have happened!” Sasha said exasperatedly.
Helen buried favonovel.com face in favonovel.com hands as favonovel.com began to cry.
“What am I supposed to do now, Sasha? Your Aunt Chloe is bringing this to court, and I… Will this matter get out of our hands?”
Matthew shook his head. “This isn‘t that big of a deal, Mom. You were the one who gave them the money, but you have no control over how they spend it. They are all past the age of 18, and they are no longer children. Why should you take responsibility for anything?”
“Are you sure?” Helen stared at him, wide-eyed.
Matthew smiled. “Of course. However, it‘d be more helpful for your case if you have proof that they asked you to lend them the money.“
A rather awkward expression formed on Helen’s face. “I.. I don’t have the acknowledgment of debt. How am I supposed to prove that I only lent them the money?”
“You don’t necessarily need an acknowledgment of debt to prove anything. You have the actual bank transfer records, and you could get some witnesses to speak for you. That would be enough. If we manage to find Peter, everything will be a lot easier!”
