Sasha gritted her teeth and insisted in a solemn voice, “These aren’t old scores but the truth! My stance is still the same—Matthew has cleared the debt he owed us and he is the owner of this mansion. It has nothing to do with us!”
Enraged, James and Helen were about to lash out when Demi scoffed, “Well then. Dad, Mom, there’s no point of saying anything else. Can’t the two of you see what’s on her mind? Sasha, you said repeatedly that this mansion belongs to Matthew and it has got nothing to do with us.
Meanwhile, you have already moved over to this large and brightly lit mansion, leaving Dad and Mom behind at that old and rundown house. It’s obvious that you’re trying to get rid of them. Back then, we only thought of having a live-in son-in-law so that someone could take care of Dad and Mom when they grow old.
Now that Matthew’s got a company, a mansion and a luxurious car, he’s thought of abandoning them. I’ve now come to realize that anyone is capable of pulling off anything once they are devious.
Liam nodded right away. “You’re right, Demi! The most important aspect in life is to have a clear conscience. It took your parents a lot of effort to raise you and they suffered a lot over the years. Now that they’re getting old, it’s our obligation to take care of them well!
Dad, Mom, although I am not a live-in son-in-law, the two of you have always treated me like your own son. I’ve always thought of you as my own parents and I promise to take care of you two, even if it means I have to work harder!”
James and Helen were so stirred by their speech that tears started welling up in their eyes. “Look at them! See how sensible Demi and Liam are! My dear Sasha, do you still remember how your dad and I used to work hard in order to support your education?
Demi even decided to drop out from school just so that you could have the chance to further your studies. Alas, look at what you’ve become. It’s our fault for failing to educate you properly!” Helen lamented, wiping tears from her eyes.
