Chapter 509

Sasha felt extremely helpless. “Mom, why are you pushing the blame on me? I told Demi to call theprofessionals before she dismantled it but she refused to listen to me and insisted on doing it her way.

Now that something has gone wrong, I’m supposed to settle it instead? Mom, this isn’t a small amount ofmoney. It’s 500 thousand! Besides, she’s not a child anymore so why can’t she bear the responsibility ofher own wrongdoings?”

James furrowed his eyebrows. “What’s done is done. Why do you keep bringing up the past? The mostimportant thing now is how to settle this. Sasha, I know what you mean and Demi was indeed tooreckless.

However, you’re her sister and who will help her if you don’t? Besides, you’re the president of thecompany whereas Demi doesn’t even have a job. How is she supposed to fork out 500 thousand?”

Sasha started to be anxious. “Dad, what do you mean? Just because I’m rich, I’m obliged to settle herproblems?

It’s just 500 thousand this time but what if she has to pay 5 million, 50 million or even 500 million nexttime? Should I sell my company to clean up her mess too then?”

James could feel his blood boiling and he chided, “Why do you have to exaggerate? It’s 500 thousandnow, not 500 million. I’m not telling you to sell your company!

Besides, do you think that Demi is stupid? We all learn from mistakes and she’ll definitely learn herlesson and become wiser the next time.”

Helen nodded repeatedly. “Your dad is right. Demi, you must be careful next time and don’t ever repeatthis mistake again.”

Looking obedient, Demi nodded. “Yes, I will remember this lesson. Actually, I only acted recklesslybecause I want dad to sleep on this bed as soon as possible so that he can recover soon. Dad, I’ll bemore careful next time.”

Upon hearing that, James was touched. He then glanced at Sasha and scolded, “Look at how sensibleyour sister is. Ever since you became a president, you’ve slowly outgrown your kindness. Your sister onlydid that out of filial piety, so how can you blame her?

On the contrary, not only are you unfilial to me, but you’re also trying to stop your sister from taking careof me. How can you be so evil?”

Sasha almost erupted in anger. “When did I stop her from taking care of you? I was just talking about themistake that she made—”

James cut her off angrily, “She didn’t do anything wrong! In fact, you should’ve told her beforehand. Youknew that this bed would be hard to dismantle, but all you did was stand idly by. Therefore, you’reactually the one to blame for this incident!”

At once, Sasha was stupefied at her father’s logic.

“Dad, didn’t you hear what I said? I reminded her to call the professionals but she refused to listen andinsisted on doing it her own way. Why am I the one to blame?” Sasha asked anxiously.

James retorted in fury, “But your sister didn’t understand the whole situation. Besides, she only made amistake because she was rushing to move the bed downstairs as soon as possible so that I can have agood rest.

Since you understand the situation, you should’ve hired the professionals beforehand. Then, thesetroubles wouldn’t have happened! Yet, you did nothing other than making sarcastic remarks. How canyou shamelessly blame her when you didn’t even help?”

Sasha’s eyes reddened out of anger. James was just full of heresies and sophistries. On top of that, hewas obviously biased!

The truth was, James was indeed annoyed at Sasha because he had wanted to move the beddownstairs since last night. However, she had disagreed, which made him mad.

Now that Demi took the initiative to move the bed for him, he felt that his younger daughter was trulyfilial.

Therefore, he gave Demi full support in this matter.

Helen waved her hand. “Enough. Let’s do as your dad says. You and Matthew should settle the cost ofrepairing the bed on your own. Demi, Liam, send us to work now.”

After that, James and the three others strode out, leaving Sasha stupefied in the room.
