Chapter 478

Meanwhile, Helen frowned and commented, “Sasha, please watch your words. How could Demi andLiam take that watch? They aren’t thieves!”

Upon hearing this, Sasha became agitated. “Mom, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that I stoleit?”

James became unsettled as he heard that, so he jumped in, “Who says you stole it? We’re just trying toreplace out what happened. Can’t your mother and I ask about where the missing watch went?”

Sasha responded angrily, “It’s only us living here. If you don’t think that Demi and Liam took it, that wouldmean that we were the ones who took it. Is this really you trying to replace out the truth?

You have already come to the conclusion that we took it! I just want to reiterate this: what makes youthink that we took the watch that’s worth a few hundred thousand when Matthew is willing to transfer toyou a house that’s worth tens of millions?”

Then, James and Helen slowly nodded. “Sasha’s right. Matthew would never do this. But where did thewatch go?”

Looking peeved, Demi responded, “We have to make things clear today! It’s only us living here, so if youdidn’t take it, the finger would be pointed at us. Liam, let’s swear. If we took the watch, we’ll be struck bylightning and instantly killed by a car when we leave the house. How’s that? Sasha Cunningham,Matthew Larson, do you dare to swear like this?”

Sasha responded angrily, “Why wouldn’t I dare to swear like that? I—”

At this point, James pounded the table and yelled, “That’s enough! Both of you, shut up! Isn’t thisembarrassing? Why would you two sisters make a stupid oath like that because of a watch? People aregoing to make you a laughing stock if they hear about this.”

Feeling rather offended, Demi replied, “So tell me; what should I do? Sasha Cunningham owns that hugecompany, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, and claims that she wouldn’t be interested in taking that watch.Is she trying to say that Liam and I took it? If I don’t defend myself, we would be labeled as thieves.”

Her words annoyed Sasha, who responded, “Who says that you are thieves? I was just trying to say thatwe didn’t take it. Demi, can you please be a little more reasonable?

You didn’t seem to hesitate when you accused Matthew of taking it. If I didn’t help clarify it, Matthewwould be saddled with this infamy.”

Demi froze when Liam jumped in, “Dad, Mom, I need to say something here. The reason we moved backis so that we can be closer to you to fulfill our filial duties, and also so that we can spend more time withyou in order to help you build the pharmacy business.

We would never go after anything in this house nor even have the thought of doing so. I hope thatMatthew can let his guard down toward us, and there’s absolutely no need to play any tricks.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the people were stunned. Matthew immediately frowned and asked, “What do youmean? What tricks am I playing?”

Demi’s eyes lit up and she piped in, “Well, you know what you did. I feel that someone intentionally tookthe watch away and is trying to pin it on us so that we would move out. This is such a dirty trick: stealingand then pinning it on someone. So shameless!”

Upon hearing this, James and Helen immediately became wary while Sasha was agitated by Demi’swords. So, she rebutted, “Please explain to me what you mean by that. Are you saying that Matthew tookthe watch and pinned it on you?”

Demi chuckled and responded, “I never said that. You said it yourself. However, Dad, Mom, you reallycan’t judge a book by its cover. Matthew has been unhappy with us and he even hit Liam last night. Whoknows if he actually did that to get us kicked out!”
