"Sasha, have a good rest at home. I'll be back soon, don't worry!" Matthew chuckled gently.

In response, Sasha nodded her head helplessly and said, "Well then, Dad, please pass the car key to Matthew. He'll drive over there by himself."

Upon hearing that, James' eyes widened. "Are you out of your mind? Didn't I say that we are not supposed to have anything to do with this?! People would think that we are supporting him if he drives our car over! Are you only going to be satisfied when our family are finally pushed into the fire pit?"

Sasha was agitated. "Dad, since when has that car become our family's car? Don't you remember that the BMW was a gift from Mr. Newman to Matthew?"

Sasha was extremely furious that she couldn't replace a word to answer her mother. She had always known that her parents were bull-headed, but she had no idea what to do about them.

Waving his hand, Matthew said, "It's okay, Sasha. Someone will come to pick me up later. Just take a rest first, and I'll be back soon!"

Involuntarily, Sasha nodded. "Be careful then, Matthew. It doesn't matter whether you will win; the most important thing is to come back safely!"

At that, Matthew bobbed his head and chuckled softly.

As James and Helen were watching his departure, the two of them suddenly laughed. "Of course it wouldn't matter whether he wins or not! Because there's no way for him to win!" Sasha was annoyed by her parents' attitude. She thus turned her head to the other side without bothering to talk to them.

Seeing her daughter's reaction, Helen said to her earnestly, "Sasha, when this is over, I guess Matthew will be done as well. I know you don't want to divorce him because you're sympathetic toward him. But look at you. You're still young and have a long way to go in your life! You need to think about your future too! Your father and I know a man with a good family background. He has a net worth of several billion and is now residing in the Lakeside Garden. He has a brilliant son who had just graduated from the University of Cambridge—"

Shivering with anger, Sasha interrupted, "Mom, can you please stop saying things like this again?! Listen, I'll never get a divorce with Matthew!"

Trying to explain herself, Helen said, "I wasn't asking you to divorce. What I was saying is that, if Matthew is dead, you need to replace yourself a way out. Isn't it—"

"Aaaah!" Sasha screamed. "Stop it! Stop saying that anymore!"

Though she was still trying to continue, Helen was stopped by James. "Forget it. Let's talk about this later. Sasha's is not stable right now. Don't rush her."

Without any choice, Helen nodded her head in agreement. She was silent for a while and later, she whispered, "Why haven't I been seeing Demi and Liam around these two days?"

Displeased, James blasted, "Why do you want to meet them? They almost got Sasha into trouble last time and you still want them here to stir Sasha up?"

Helen shot him a glance and retorted, "How could you say something like this? Demi is also your daughter, your biological daughter! How can you be so biased? Besides, Sasha's always by our side because she is the company's president. But look at Demi, she's married and has nothing. Shouldn't you be giving her more of your attention?"

Helplessly, James sighed, "Whoever said I don't care about her? But, look at the things she's done—”

Shaking her hands, Helen interrupted, "Just let go of it. Tell me, who has never made a mistake? Can't you just stop getting angry over it? Give Demi a call. Tell her to visit us with Liam in the evening."
