Chapter 481

Sasha responded, “Dad, Mom, I’m being serious. Those people are rascals. Can they even beconsidered friends? You’ll know what I mean if you saw them. They aren’t proper.”

Upon hearing that, James became agitated. “Shut up! You’re too much! Do you think only you can havefriends from the upper-class?”

Sasha was completely rendered speechless by her parents. She no longer had the mood to debate thiswith her parents. After breakfast, a number of them left the house for the hospital.

Before departing, Demi was beaming with joy when she gave her friends a call, telling them to get readybecause Matthew was on his way to the hospital to apologize to them.

Since Demi had completely lost her face in front of those people two nights ago, she tried her best toforce Matthew into apologizing to them so that she could look good.

However, before they arrived at the hospital, Matthew received a call from Stanley informing him that hehad already located the watch. Since this watch meant a lot to James, the moment he heard about that,he quickly turned the car back to replace his watch.

Eventually, they came to a shop where Tiger and his lackeys were already squatting outside. Then, Tigerstated, “Mr. Larson, Stanley asked me to come here.

This shop is where the watch has been located. We’ve done some homework and found that this shop isa fence for expensive stolen goods. Looks like the watch was stolen by some thieves and then sold tothis shop.”

Helen’s face dropped after hearing that. She asked, “Does it mean our house was broken into?”

Tiger replied, “I can’t be sure at the moment. Let’s go in and replace out. We’ll be able to replace out when weknow who sold it to them.”

Hearing that, Helen quickly stated, “Let’s go in then.” Upon entering, they noticed that the owner lookedto be a man in his thirties or forties.

Feeling that something was not right, the shop owner was preparing to run away from them, but Tiger’slackeys managed to stop him. The moment the shop owner heard that he was Master Tiger of SouthStreet, he was persuaded and immediately took out the watch.

“Master Tiger, I didn’t steal this watch—someone sold it to me. T-This is only my side business, and I hadno idea that it belonged to you. Had I known that it belonged to you, I would never have bought it!” theshop owner said, crying and begging for mercy.

After seeing his watch, James was overjoyed. He then held it tightly in his hand. Meanwhile, Helen yelledangrily, “Tell me; who sold this watch to you?”

In between her words, Helen purposely gave Matthew a look, hinting at the shop owner to also look athim. The sight of this annoyed Sasha as it was obvious that Helen still thought that it was Matthew whodid it.

Looking befuddled, the shop owner glanced at Matthew and said, “Madam, I don’t know how to describethat person’s appearance. I have a surveillance camera installed in this shop.

Let me pull out the footage.” Then, the shop owner proceeded to work on getting the relevant footage,which clearly showed a man in his twenties coming to the shop with the watch.

Seeing that man, Liam and Demi began to feel uneasy. Right away, Matthew was able to capture theuneasiness on their faces. He quickly said, “Liam, do you know this man?”

Liam’s face instantly turned red, and he began to stammer, “I-I… d-don’t…”

Meanwhile, Tiger piped in, “Liam, please think carefully before you respond. It’s easy for me to replace outwho this person is. If by then he says that he knows you but you say otherwise… Hmph!”

Liam was frightened after hearing this. Then, he responded softly, “I-I know him…”

James and Helen were instantly stunned, scolding, “Liam, y-you did it?”

Liam quickly defended himself, “Dad, Mom, I-I didn’t do it… I know this person, but that doesn’t mean Idid it! In fact, Demi knows him too.”

At this point, Helen angrily turned to Demi and asked, “What’s going on?”

Demi became flustered. “Mom, I have no idea. H-He’s my best friend’s boyfriend, but he didn’t show upat our house the other day…”
