Much intimidated by Matthew’s threat, Demi trembled and she was deterred from making any further comment once she thought of Matthew’s friendship with Tiger.
In the end, Liam decided to yield to Matthew.
He got down on his knees and held his head low when he apologized, “Matthew, I’m sorry. I-I’ve made a mistake…”
Matthew sniggered disdainfully as he couldn’t be bothered to respond to Liam who was just a piece of crap.
She hauled Liam up to his feet and snapped furiously, “Well, now that my husband has already kneeled down and apologized, are you happy now?”
Sasha, who finally had her grievance avenged, commented icily, “He brought that upon himself! He only has himself to blame for gloating over people’s misfortune!”
Liam did not say anything to refute her with his teeth gritted whereas Demi said crossly, “Just cut the crap! Is your husband any better? Yes, my husband did that but at least he’s better than someone who only knows how to brag! Your husband has been telling everyone that he will get a 300 million compensation for our family. What happened to it now? Did the Jacksons pay him a dime?”
James and Helen glanced over at Matthew. The thought of Matthew claiming that he would ask the Jacksons for compensation was hilarious to them.
The Jacksons were one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. How could they be willing to compensate them?
Matthew muttered, “They did!”
“Huh?” Helen was stunned first before asking out of instinct, “How much did they pay you?”
“300 million!” Matthew announced.
Helen and the rest first exchanged looks among each other before they soon roared with laughter.
“Matthew, are you so traumatized by them that you have lost your mind? Compensating you with 300 million? Why did they need to do that? Do you really think that they’d look at you in that kind of light?” Demi said in between laughter.
