With just a few words, everybody was completely taken aback. Then, they looked toward Demi and Liam in unison.
In response, Demi immediately retorted furiously, “Larson, you b*stard! Who do you think you’re trying to scare?! What do you mean by trespassing? Do you think this house belongs to you? This house belongs to my parents! What has that got to do with you?! You’re nothing but a live-in son-in-law, living off my family. How dare you act as if this house belongs to you?! I’m telling you; you have no right to interfere in the matters of our home! Besides, these friends of mine came here upon my invitation! How does that count as trespassing?!”
The others began to laugh, and one of the girls mocked, “Wow; are all the leeches nowadays so shameless? After living off your wife for a bit, you’re trying to take over the place now? You’re nothing but a live-in son-in-law! How dare you claim that this house is yours?! Demi, it looks like the live-in son-in-law your family took in is itching to be taught a lesson!”
She sneeringly replied, “Rest assured. This time around, I’m going to make him understand just who the real master of this house is!”
Upon hearing those words, the others roared with laughter as they glanced at Matthew condescendingly.
On the other hand, Matthew seemed rather calm. Glancing at Demi, he lightly said, “Do you want to know who owns this house? Fine, I’ll tell you! The names written on the title deed for this house are mine and Sasha’s. Strictly speaking, this house belongs to Sasha and me. It has nothing to do with anybody else. Even Demi and Liam have no right to stay here. So, even Demi and Liam can be considered trespassers. As for the rest of you, whom I don’t even know, entering my house can be considered a robbery attempt.”
Upon hearing those words, Demi and Liam’s expressions changed drastically. The names written on the title deed of this house were indeed Matthew and Sasha. Thus, they had no right to this house at all, legally speaking. If they were called to account for their behavior, even their presence could be deemed illegal entry. Therefore, Matthew would go scot-free if this matter were to be escalated. However, the same could not be said for the others—they would be in deep trouble instead.
After a moment of silence, Demi hurriedly forced a smile on her face and said “O-Oh, my. Matt, why would you need to do that? We’re family, aren’t we? Besides, these are my friends. We were simply holding a birthday party for my best friend. It’s her birthday today. Must you be such a party pooper on such a joyous occasion?”
Similarly, Liam hurriedly added, “Yeah, it’s just a simple misunderstanding. Matt, those brats often don’t watch what they say. In light of what you’ve taught them, I’m sure they’ll pay more attention to their behavior from now on.”
When everybody saw what was going on, they immediately understood that the owners of the house were Matthew and Sasha. Hence, they quietened down instantly.
Breathing out a sigh of relief, Sasha glanced at Matthew delightedly. She had not imagined that he would solve such a troublesome matter so easily.
Meanwhile, Matthew calmly said, “I’m sorry. We’re not that close to each other. If you refuse to leave, I can only choose to report this to the police. When that time comes, it’ll depend on your luck whether it’ll be considered robbery or burglary.”
Upon hearing those words, the crowd became unsettled. Then, Demi hurriedly came over to Sasha and whispered, “Sasha, please give me some face. So many of my friends are here right now, so don’t embarrass me too much, okay? Besides, we have such a lovely home. What’s wrong with bringing some friends over to visit?”
Sasha furiously retorted, “Give you face?! Who was it that was going to report Matthew to the police just now?! Now you want me to give you face?! Why should I?!”
Demi’s expression changed immediately when she heard those words. Incensed, she snarled, “Sasha Cunningham, do you think that I’m a pushover just because I spoke to you so nicely?! I’m telling you; these people will be working with our pharmacy and the construction company in the future. If you chase them off, it will greatly impact our family business. I’m going to call our parents later, and I’ll see how you intend to explain this to them!”
