Sasha continued, “Shouldn’t you at least ask why Matthew hit him?”
Helen responded angrily, “Why should I still ask that? It’s his fault for hitting him! Besides, what did Liam do wrong when he tried to stop Matthew from forcing his friends to drink? What gave you the right to hit Liam with the beer bottle?
You might as well stab Liam with a knife, and perhaps kill all of us, so you can be the head of this house. In that case, everything will be yours. That does sound like a dream come true, doesn’t it?”
Peeved, Sasha replied, “You don’t know what actually happened, yet you’re already lashing out at Matthew. It was those guys who forced us to drink, not the other way round!”
Meanwhile, Sasha was so angry that she could not say anything in response.
Helen proceeded to command, “Matthew, go and apologize to Liam right now!”
Demi piped in rather whimsically, “Look at that. We’d never dare to ask Matthew to apologize to us. Just last night he was telling us that this house belonged to him and that his name was on the land title.
He even threatened to kick us out of the property! Right now, we are just like parasites. How would we dare to ask the owner of this property to apologize to us?”
Hearing this, Helen’s countenance dropped further, yelping, “Oh right, I’ve completely forgotten about the land title. Sasha, please go and change the name on the land title tomorrow to my and your father’s names.”
Hearing this, Sasha panicked and refuted, “On what basis? This house was a gift to Matthew from Jefford and the others, so it belongs to Matthew legally. Why should he transfer it to you?”
Her words rendered Sasha speechless.
At this point, Demi sneered and interrupted, “Sasha, it’s fine if you really don’t want to take care of Mom and Dad. Worst case scenario, I’ll take care of them. Just tell it to my face that you no longer want to take care of them and I’ll bring them back right away. How does that sound? Just say the word.”
Sasha responded, “S-Since when did I say anything about not wanting to take care of Mom and Dad? Right now, I’m talking about this property!”
Upon hearing this, Helen growled, “Right now, I’m talking to you about your duty as a daughter toward your parents! Sasha, let me ask you: who’s more important? Your parents or your husband? I just need your answer. Just tell me. If you choose Matthew, we’ll leave right now. We won’t stay here for any extra minute to annoy you.”
