Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 208

Soon, everyone reached home and coincidentally, Liam and Demi were chilling. "Mom, Dad, you're back! Look at the new clothes that I just bought. Aren't they beautiful?" Demi said excitedly. However, no one gave her a response. Demi couldn't help but feel astonished. "Mom, Dad, why are you so quiet? Oh, I bought you some clothes too using that 28,000 from yesterday. Why don't you try it on?" Upon hearing that, James's rage erupted immediately. "That's enough! Shut up."

Startled, Demi asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"

Demi and Liam felt astonished. "Why do you want to look for him?"

After Helen explained the incident of the jade bracelet, Liam and Demi were stunned on the spot. Yesterday, they were still overjoyed that they earned a fortune by selling off the jade bracelet for 28,000. Unexpectedly, they were actually at a loss!

"Mom, did you mishear it? How could a jade bracelet be sold at such an exorbitant price?" Demi asked anxiously. "Even if I were to buy a whole piece of jade and carve a few hundred jade bracelets, it wouldn't be marketed at such a high price!"

James chided angrily, "How could you compare a bracelet that you carve to that jade bracelet? That is the treasure that belongs to the Queen of the previous dynasty, and it has always been the treasure of the palace. It cost 300 million ten years ago. Now, only God knows how much it's worth!"

Demi gaped in astonishment and asked in a trembling voice, "W-What should we do?"

James flew into rage. "What should we do? What should we do?! You're just like your mother, who is good at nothing except asking what we should do. You're the one who sold off the jade bracelet, so you should tell me what to do!"

Demi was panic-stricken. "B-But Mom's the one who told me to sell it..."

Helen shouted in rage. "Did I tell you to sell it?”

"It was you who suggested selling it..."

Seeing that the both of them were about to get into a row, Liam suddenly interrupted, "Mom, this is not the time to argue about that. We should come up with a solution to settle this matter first." Helen asked angrily, "It's easier said than done. Do you have any solution?"

Liam glanced at Matthew. "Isn't Matthew close with the Grahams? Why not let him talk to them about this? Matthew, just tell them that you accidentally lost it. Patrick and you are on good terms, so I bet that he won't make things difficult for you."

Sasha's blood boiled in anxiousness. "What are you talking about? You are the one who lost the jade bracelet. Why should Matthew bear the consequences of that?"

Liam shrugged his shoulders. "Sasha, we have no other choice. After all, we're not really close to the Grahams. Besides, we have such a huge company. If the Graham Family insists him to pay for it, he can't afford it either. With that, wouldn't our family assets be saved? Matthew, this involves our family fortune. You would be willing to sacrifice a little, wouldn't you?"

Sasha was struck dumb with shock. What kind of logic was that? How thick-skinned did one have to be to be able to give such insensitive remarks?

Matthew looked displeased. "Liam, why go through such a hassle? You are the one who sold the jade bracelet, so you might as well turn yourself in. The worst case scenario is that you'll be sentenced to a few years in prison, which is not quite a big deal. This involves our family fortune. You would be willing to sacrifice a little, wouldn't you?"

Liam muttered softly, "I-Isn't that unnecessary? Why do you have to make me suffer in jail when you can solve it with the ties you have with them?"

Matthew rebutted coldly, "That's 300 million. If I couldn't settle it by making use of my relationship with them, wouldn't I be jailed? If that's the case, why don't we do things straightforwardly? You're the one who did it anyway, so you should bear the responsibility. Even if you're sentenced to jail, that's just reasonable!"

At once, Liam was lost for words, so he bowed his head without answering back. Demi immediately turned to her parents. "Mom, Dad, I-I think that my husband has a point. W-We should try our best to minimize the loss to a minimum. If Matthew goes and talks to them, there is a great possibility that he won't be jailed. Therefore, we should just let Matthew settle it!"
