Demi chuckled coldly. "Sasha, I think you’ve overestimated him. What has Matthew done to help our family? He cured Billy Newman's daughter with our family's medicine, hence the credit belongs to our family. For Mr. Jones’ situation, it was the police who caught the people and recovered the money. As for the matter of Wellness Herbary and our third uncle’s family situation, no doubt he has helped out a little, but in the end, he turned Wellness Herbary into his own cash machine and let his friend take charge of everything. Little by little, the Cunninghams’ property is being controlled by him. It is only you who is still in the dark, thinking that he has helped us a lot!"
Sasha was so angry that she kept silent. She really couldn't understand why her family would be so hostile to Matthew.
“Demi, you don't know, but these are all Matthew—"
Sasha wanted to explain, but was interrupted by James. "That’s enough!"
"Are you even my daughter? You married such a man and worked with him to go against us. Are you trying to piss off your mother and I?”
Sasha’s face was red, and her eyes welled up.
"You still have the audacity to cry?" James shouted at her. “If you cannot even control your own husband, what would others say? Matthew, this is a wake-up call for you, so you better keep that in mind! As long as you and Sasha are not divorced, you are part of the Cunningham family. Stop hooking up with other women and spoiling the Cunningham family’s reputation. Go on, off to bed now!" James stood up angrily, about to leave the room. "Why are you going to sleep?" Helen grabbed him. "It is not over yet!"
"What else is there?" asked a surprised James.
Helen looked at Matthew. "Where is Leanna Sandel’s card?"
James’ eyes lit up. Oh yes, Leanna Sandel prepared a card at that time. The card would have at least millions in it; we must have it.
Sasha understood her mother’s intentions and asked coldly, "Why are you asking about the card?"
Helen was angry. "So now it has come to this? Can’t I even ask a question nowadays? How dare you talk to me that way!"
Matthew pulled on Sasha’s sleeve and motioned for her to not to argue further with her parents.
"I didn't take the card,” said Matthew.
"What? You didn't take it?” Helen asked anxiously. "Are you crazy? There are tens of millions in the card!"
Sasha curled her lips and said, "Wasn’t it you all who said to Matthew that he should not spoil our family’s reputation? Matthew was right to not take the card; he even made the Cunningham family look good." Helen was about to blow a gasket. "T-This is not the same thing at all! We told him not to go out and flirt with other women, but we didn't say that he was not allowed to accept the card. He saved Leanna's daughter that day. The money in this card is Leanna’s thanks to him. This is what we have rightfully earned."
Sasha said, "Just now, weren’t you the ones who said that he thought Leanna was so beautiful that he deliberately approached her? But when it comes to money, it is all about him saving her daughter? Mom, do you even hear yourself?!"
Helen was rendered speechless. Then, she suddenly burst out angrily, "There you go again, talking back to me! You think it was easy for me to raise you? Why don't you learn something from your sister? Do you see her talking back to me? Looks like I raised you for nothing!"
Sasha’s face flushed red. "I'm just speaking the truth! When did I ever talk back to you? Oh, so only you all are allowed to speak, and we aren’t allowed to refute?"
"Enough!"James roared and sent a chair flying. "Go back to your rooms this instant!”
