After sending Sasha home, Matthew was chased out of the house by James and Helen.
Actually, Matthew wasn’t planning to stay at home either.
Under his meticulous care, Sasha had recovered, and meanwhile, Matthew had something more important to attend to.
Walking out of Cunningham Residence, Matthew gave Tiger a call and instructed him to arrange troops of people to guard Cunningham Residence.
The Hughes were nastily vicious so Matthew was worried that Travis would harass Sasha again.
It was only after the arrangement was completed did Matthew secretly rush to the outskirts through the night.
Tonight’s incident had violated Matthew’s bottom line so he must bring forward his plan against the Hughes.
But before that, he must get some interest.
Therefore, he was going to kill Xavier tonight!
In Cunningham Residence, after James and Helen drove Matthew out of the house, everyone sank into a deadly silence.
Sasha shut herself in the room and refused to come out, leaving James, Helen, Demi and Liam staring at each other in the living room.
Naturally, Liam was overjoyed because tonight’s incident had completely ruined any chance Helen and James had of matchmaking Sasha and Travis, which meant that he still had a chance.
On the contrary, James, Helen and Demi were extremely embarrassed.
What happened tonight and how it turned out were completely out of their expectation.
Actually, they had prepared themselves and would agree even if Sasha and Travis stayed together tonight.
However, none of them expected that Travis would be such a nasty man.
Not only did he drug Sasha, but he even tried to humiliate her.
After remaining silent for a long time, Demi said in a low voice, “Mom, Dad, we’ve totally offended the Hughes this time. I don’t think it’ll be possible even if Sasha wants to marry into the Hughes Family in the future.”
James got annoyed. “Shut up! Are you crazy? Travis is such a disgusting man but you’re still willing to let Sasha marry him? Are you only satisfied after pushing your sister into a living hell?”
Demi looked displeased. “I-It was your idea though! Weren’t you the ones who wanted Sasha to marry into the Hughes Family? Besides, although Travis is not a nice man, he’s still the heir to his family. I think that there was some misunderstanding tonight. Perhaps Matthew is the one who Travis plans to deal with, and not Sasha. He’s only using her to enrage Matthew. Why don’t we go to Young Master Hughes and explain it to him? We should let him know that we have nothing to do with Matthew. Besides, we sincerely wish to unite with Hughes through marriage. With that, Young Master Hughes will surely understand our effort. As long as Sasha marries into the Hughes Family, we, the Cunninghams, will definitely surpass the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff! Mom, Dad, this is such a great opportunity which is hard to come by. We mustn’t miss it!”
Looking at the growing smugness on Demi’s face, James trembled in rage. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Demi across her cheeks.
Demi was stunned. “Dad, w-why did you hit me?”
James slapped her again while yelling angrily, “I’ll hit you to death, you unfilial daughter! Are you still human? Is there something wrong with your brain or are you blind? Can’t you see what kind of person Travis is? In such times, you’re still hoping for your sister to marry into the Hughes Family just to realize your dream of being wealthy. She’s your sister. How could you?! I think you’re not blind in the eyes, but heartless!”
Being hit, Demi fled helter-skelter to hide behind Helen. Then, she panickedly screamed, “Mom, look at him! What did I do wrong? I was just stating my opinions. If you disagree with me, you can turn a deaf ear. H-How can you hit me? In this modern era, how can you still display exaggerated machismo? Besides, weren’t you the one who yearned for Sasha to marry into a wealthy family? Did I say anything wrong?”
