Chapter 479

At this point, Sasha felt extremely flustered by Demi’s annoying insinuations.

“Demi Cunningham, what are you trying to say? Who pinned it on you? Show us the proof then!” yelledSasha.

Hearing that, Demi chuckled and did not say a word. At this moment, James waved his hand and said,“Forget it. Can you two please stop fighting? If no one wants to admit it, let’s forget it. It’s just a watch,isn’t it?

But Matthew, I hope you can remember that we permitted Demi and Liam to live here with us. If you tryto drive them out of this house again, I’ll make sure that you move out first.”

Sasha was stunned by James’ words, which implied that his conclusion was that Matthew took thewatch and tried to pin it on Demi and Liam.

Meanwhile, Demi grinned while happily glancing at Sasha and saying, “Dad, I knew you would make theright conclusion.”

At this point, Sasha had lost it. “Dad, you have to tell me what you’re trying to get at by saying that.”

Hearing that, James was provoked. “How is it your turn to question me? Who do you think you are? Letme tell you; as long as I’m still alive, I’m still the head of this house. It’s not up to you to decide thingshere, especially you, Matthew Larson. Don’t let me replace any evidence. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay for it!”

Sasha became furious after hearing his words. “Dad, h-how could you be so sure that it was Matthewwho did it?”

Helen jumped in unemotionally, “Did we say that Matthew did it? He was just warning Matthew tobehave. What’s wrong with that?”

Sasha responded, “Why didn’t he give Liam any warning?”

Helen replied angrily, “Liam didn’t do anything wrong. Why should he be warned?”

Sasha was infuriated while being on the verge of breaking down. “So what did Matthew do wrong then?”

Hearing that, Helen yelped, “Are you trying to reason with me? Isn’t it clear already? What’s there for youto argue about?”

Sasha was so upset that she began to quiver. She reckoned that her parents’ bias toward Matthew wasway too serious.

At this point, even Matthew could no longer hold it in. He then commented gently, “Mom, have you everthought about the possibility that it was taken by those people who came to our place two nights ago?”

Sasha’s eyes lit up as she heard this, responding immediately, “He has a point. Mom, there were somany people here that night. They had even gone into every room and messed with things. One of themmight have taken it!”

Demi then yelled, “Sasha Cunningham, what are you trying to say? Those people are my friends, whoare also our future clients. Who do you think you are to suspect that my friends stole it? What evidencedo you have?”

Meanwhile, Helen frowned and asked, “Sasha, you can’t simply say things like that. Those people areDemi and Liam’s trusted friends, and that was why they were invited to our house.

Your words are somewhat harsh, aren’t they? If one of them heard it and wasn’t happy with thatinsinuation, you might get sued for defamation.”

Sasha was rendered speechless. She responded, “Mom, so how do you want me to put it? All of youaccused Matthew right away, and you’d rather trust Demi’s friends than Matthew. Can you tell me why?”

Helen puckered up her lips, not saying anything else, but the look on her face had said it all—she did nottrust Matthew.

Demi sneered and said, “Who would believe someone who lives off a woman? Why don’t you replacesomeone and ask if they’d rather trust my upper-class friends or a useless man who lives off a woman?”

Sasha could no longer put up with Demi’s insults toward Matthew. Matthew just sighed helplessly andsaid, “Forget it, Sasha; we don’t have to argue about meaningless things. Dad, Mom, all I was trying toget at was, why don’t we just replace who took the watch?”
