While she was worried sick, she received a call from Helen. “Sasha, how are things going with the jade bracelet? What did the Grahams say? Matthew had admitted to it, so now it has nothing to do with us anymore, right?”
Sasha was almost driven to tears with frustration. How could her parents be so selfish? All they were concerned about was if they would be implicated without even asking about Matthew? “I don’t know!” she cried through gritted teeth.
Fretful, Helen stressed, “How could you not know? Didn’t you ask Matthew? Otherwise, you could ask Old Mrs. Graham about it. Why are you not concerned at all, my child?”
“Mom, could you please concern yourself with something more important?” she hollered in frustration. “It’s hard to tell if Cunningham Pharmaceuticals can even survive for now, so could you please stop adding on to my troubles?”
“That’s enough! Stop spouting nonsense!” Sasha was hopping mad. “Did I mention that it had anything to do with Matthew? This is our own family’s problem!”
Taken aback, Helen asked, “What could be the problem with our family?”
In a huff, Sasha told her what happened at the construction site and Helen was dumbstruck at the end of it. She had worked in the company for a while, after all, so she knew the importance of the new factory clearly. “S-So, is there any way to solve this situation?” Helen asked in distraught.
In an unpleasant tone, Sasha snapped, “I have no idea! That’s it. I’m busy right now so I’m hanging up.”
Casting a stressful gaze at James next to her after she hung up the call, Helen whimpered in a choked up voice, “You heard what happened over the phone earlier.
Finally now, the chance he had been waiting for had arrived. So after placing down the bags, he immediately went ahead and occupied himself with this matter.
Until late afternoon, Sasha made no progress with the situation although she had been trying to solve it this whole time. Out of her wits, she made a call to Matthew.
When Matthew rushed to the office, he ran into James, Helen and Demi at the door, who also rushed there. With a haughty look, Demi merely cast him a look from the corner of her eyes while Helen knitted her brows and questioned him, “Matthew, what are you doing here? Aren’t you at the Grahams? What’s the situation there now and what did the Grahams say?”
Caught speechless momentarily, he thought, Look at your expression. Are you so dissatisfied that I didn’t end up in jail?
