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 favonovel.com was dumbstruck. “Uncle Norman, 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 favonovel.com children out of your place now. We would n’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 favonovel.com wouldn’t give two hoots about anything we say to favonovel.com anymore.”
Those cruel and mean words made Helen’s blood boil, and favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com while nodding slowly. “How can you say things like that, Helen? That‘s so disappointing!”
With all of favonovel.com family members blaming her, Helen felt incredibly wronged, and favonovel.com eyes turned red from the frustration favonovel.com was feeling. Next to her, James was holding his fists. if Hector wasn’t here, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com face, and favonovel.com 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, Sasha 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, favonovel.com 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!” favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com or favonovel.com was wealthy. If that person refused to give in to their demands, they would even curse favonovel.com or favonovel.com 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!”
