Chapter 793

Chloe flushed, spinning some nonsense about how she was currently broke because she had bought ahouse overseas. Helen wiped away tears as she listened, her heart aching endlessly for her youngersister.

“Won’t you have enough money if you sell the house off? You’re going to be staying here for a long whileanyway, so it’d be useless to keep that house overseas!” Demi said with her lips pursed.

Chloe was only bluffing, for they didn’t actually have a house.

Upon hearing Demi’s words, Chloe couldn’t speak for a while. At last, all she could do was weep. “W-Why are you so cruel, Demi? That house is supposed to be for your brother when he gets married in thefuture. How is he going to be able to replace a wife if the house is sold? Oh Helen, I-I truly do not wish to liveanymore…”

Helen shot a glare at Demi. “Shut your mouth and go back to your room! You’re no help staying here—all you do is act sarcastic!”

Demi pursed her lips. “Fine, fine, I’ll stop talking. That works, right?”

Helen shot a glare at her again, and then she looked hopefully at Sasha. “Why don’t you help your auntout, Sasha? Aunt Chloe was so nice to you when you were a young girl. You—”

Sasha felt a headache forming.

What’s going on? Why is this being dumped on me again? Do I have to help bail her family out becauseher son didn’t want to listen to reason and ended up getting himself into trouble?

In truth, if things were simple enough that the matters could be resolved by lending Chloe some money,Sasha wouldn’t have minded it at all. After all, Chloe had indeed been good to her. However, the problem

was that Jonah had run to Sasha and her family only because he wanted to use them. That didn’t sit wellwith Sasha.

“Mom, the company will only be giving out our bonuses at the end of the year. I only have my monthlysalary for now, so I don’t have that much money!” Sasha answered.

“You’re a board member at the company, so can’t you think of something else?” Helen asked frantically.

“Something else? Are you expecting me to use the company’s public funds? Do you want me to end upin prison with him too?” Sasha exclaimed angrily.

Meanwhile, Helen was so furious that she couldn’t say a word.

Right then, Minerva suddenly piped up and said, “Sasha, saving Tate is more important. Why don’t youmortgage the car first for some money to rescue him?”

The Cunninghams were stunned speechless, for they were all shocked to the core by that shamelesssuggestion. Truth be told, none of them had thought that the Campbells would be able to say somethingso brazen.

Tate was the one who wouldn’t listen to others’ advice, and he ended up in a car accident. Yet, theCampbells were expecting the Cunninghams to mortgage their car so that they could have enoughmoney to save Tate from prison. Most importantly, they said that in such a matter-of-fact manner!

What right did the Campbells have to say that? Did the Cunninghams owe them?

Sasha took in a few deep breaths before she managed to calm herself. She was truly worried that shewould not be able to stop herself from tearing into the Campbells.

However, Demi couldn’t be bothered with such decorum, and she immediately let her fury show. “Do youeven f*cking have your head screwed on right? Why should we mortgage our car? Don’t you guys haveyour own car—a BMW at that? Go mortgage that one instead! He’s your own brother, so shouldn’t youand your family be the ones worrying about him?”

Minerva had an awkward look on her face. “Demi, we’re all family, right? W-We really can’t do anythingelse. Besides, a million is a huge sum for us, but it’s just pocket change for you.”

“Bullsh*t!” Demi bit out angrily. “Who has the nerve to say that one million is pocket change?”

“Regardless of the sum, the family of the one responsible should be the one paying. We don’t owe youanything, so why are you trying to get us to pay instead?” Liam said softly.

Minerva stood up, her face livid. “Fine, I get it now. What kind of relatives are you? You’re just a bunch ofselfish people! You guys clearly know that we don’t have any money, but you refuse to help us even withsuch a small matter. I’ve finally figured out what kind of people those relatives of yours are, Mom. Yousing their praises and complimented them, but when push comes to shove, none of them will step up!Forget it, let’s just leave. Just seeing them makes me want to puke!”
