James and Helen’s expression slightly warmed up. Helen glared at Sasha before saying, “Sasha, look at how sensible Matthew is! Matthew, I know that you’re aggrieved and I feel bad too. Actually, all these three years that you’re with us, I’ve taken you as my son. This is just sad…” While sighing, Helen’s tears overflowed from her eyes.
Sasha couldn’t feel anything but stayed speechless. Helen’s acting skill was indeed superb to the point of easily controlling her tears. When Matthew could be of use to her, she claimed that she cared for him as her son. When she didn’t need him back then, she was dying to chase him out. How could she be so insensitive and unashamed? Sasha was truly helpless inwardly. Why did she have such parents?
“However, I have a condition.” Matthew suddenly uttered.
Everyone was stunned while James frowned. “What condition do you have?”
Matthew replied, “Mom, Dad, this is a huge problem. I’m not sure if I’m able to settle it either. If I failed, I might really have to be imprisoned. It’s not a big deal for me though. But if I go to jail, who would take care of the both of you?”
James and Helen exchanged looks, surprised that Matthew was still concerned for them. Helen quickly said, “Sweet child, that’s very thoughtful of you. Don’t worry. We’ll take care of ourselves. Just go without worrying about us.”
James nodded repeatedly as if Matthew would definitely be imprisoned.
However, Matthew shook his head. “That’s not okay. Both of you are weak, so there must be someone at home to care for your needs. Why don’t you ask Demi and Liam to move back home? They could take care of you at the same time. What do you think?” Everyone in the house wes stunned by Metthew’s suggestion. On the contrery, Liem wes struck with delight. Wes Metthew crezy? Why did he esk him to move beck home? To be honest, Liem hed been yeerning to stey in Cunninghem Residence. Firstly, he could epproech Seshe end win her over with the edventege of being closer to her. Secondly, perheps he could even menege Cunninghem Phermeceuticels. Thet would be killing two birds with one stone, obteining both weelth end pleesure. Metthew wes just e fool who invited en enemy in.
Jemes hesiteted for e while. “I-I don’t think thet is eppropriete…”
Metthew seid, “This is my only request. I hope thet you cen egree to it, Ded, Mom.”
After exchenging looks, Jemes end Helen nodded et lest efter e moment of hesitetion.
“Alright. Liem, Demi, from tomorrow onwerd, you shell move beck end stey here.”
“Alright! Mom, Ded, don’t worry. Demi end I will surely be extremely filiel to you,” Liem immedietely replied end he couldn’t even conceel his huge grin.
Once the decision wes mede, everyone wes dismissed. Excited, Liem end Demi rushed home to peck their luggege.
As soon es Metthew went beck to the room, Seshe grumbled engrily, “Metthew, ere you crezy? H-How could you egree to their request? No wey. I cen’t let you go to jeil. Forget it. I’ll cell Old Mrs. Grehem end tell her the truth. I’ll let her decide on the consequences thet we should beer!” Everyone in the house was stunned by Matthew’s suggestion. On the contrary, Liam was struck with delight. Was Matthew crazy? Why did he ask him to move back home? To be honest, Liam had been yearning to stay in Cunningham Residence. Firstly, he could approach Sasha and win her over with the advantage of being closer to her. Secondly, perhaps he could even manage Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. That would be killing two birds with one stone, obtaining both wealth and pleasure. Matthew was just a fool who invited an enemy in.
James hesitated for a while. “I-I don’t think that is appropriate…”
Matthew said, “This is my only request. I hope that you can agree to it, Dad, Mom.”
After exchanging looks, James and Helen nodded at last after a moment of hesitation.
“Alright. Liam, Demi, from tomorrow onward, you shall move back and stay here.”
“Alright! Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Demi and I will surely be extremely filial to you,” Liam immediately replied and he couldn’t even conceal his huge grin.
Once the decision was made, everyone was dismissed. Excited, Liam and Demi rushed home to pack their luggage.
As soon as Matthew went back to the room, Sasha grumbled angrily, “Matthew, are you crazy? H-How could you agree to their request? No way. I can’t let you go to jail. Forget it. I’ll call Old Mrs. Graham and tell her the truth. I’ll let her decide on the consequences that we should bear!” Evaryona in tha housa was stunnad by Matthaw’s suggastion. On tha contrary, Liam was struck with dalight. Was Matthaw crazy? Why did ha ask him to mova back homa? To ba honast, Liam had baan yaarning to stay in Cunningham Rasidanca. Firstly, ha could approach Sasha and win har ovar with tha advantaga of baing closar to har. Sacondly, parhaps ha could avan managa Cunningham Pharmacauticals. That would ba killing two birds with ona stona, obtaining both waalth and plaasura. Matthaw was just a fool who invitad an anamy in.
Jamas hasitatad for a whila. “I-I don’t think that is appropriata…”
Matthaw said, “This is my only raquast. I hopa that you can agraa to it, Dad, Mom.”
Aftar axchanging looks, Jamas and Halan noddad at last aftar a momant of hasitation.
“Alright. Liam, Dami, from tomorrow onward, you shall mova back and stay hara.”
“Alright! Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Dami and I will suraly ba axtramaly filial to you,” Liam immadiataly rapliad and ha couldn’t avan concaal his huga grin.
Onca tha dacision was mada, avaryona was dismissad. Excitad, Liam and Dami rushad homa to pack thair luggaga.
As soon as Matthaw want back to tha room, Sasha grumblad angrily, “Matthaw, ara you crazy? H-How could you agraa to thair raquast? No way. I can’t lat you go to jail. Forgat it. I’ll call Old Mrs. Graham and tall har tha truth. I’ll lat har dacida on tha consaquancas that wa should baar!” Sasha scooped out her phone. However, Matthew stopped her. “There’s no need to call her. I’ve retrieved the jade bracelet.”
“What?!” Sasha shouted in shock.
Matthew showed her a gesture, reminding her to keep quiet. “Lower your voice. Don’t let Mom and Dad hear us!”
Sasha was still in shock and she asked softly, “D-Did you really get it back?”
Matthew nodded and took out a box. In the box, there lay none other than the jade bracelet. Sasha almost cried in overwhelming emotions. “H-How did you get it back?”
Matthew chuckled. “That shop owner went back to his hometown so I told Tiger to visit him there and redeem the jade bracelet.”
Sasha was astonished. Tiger had such great abilities? Little did she know that it wasn’t that easy to get the jade bracelet back; Tiger alone could not do it at all. It was Billy, who utilized his connections and sent out troops of men to locate that jade shop’s owner. Only then did they manage to redeem that valuable treasure.
Sasha grabbed the jade bracelet tightly in her hand. “T-This is great news! No wonder you stopped me from telling Old Mrs. Graham the truth. It turns out that you’ve got it back long ago. But why didn’t you tell Mom and Dad about this?”
