Chapter 209
Sasha’s expression changed while she shouted angrily, “Demi, shut up! Let me tell you, whoever did it
should assume the responsibility. I would never let Matthew bear the burden for this matter!”
Demi was utterly annoyed. “Mom told us to do that. ording to what you say, should Mom and I be
ountable then? You might as well throw us into prison!”
Sasha was speechless for a while before she finally made out a few words in a low voice, “You and
Mom should hold full responsibility. I-I’ll think of a way to settle the money!”
Demi refuted coldly, “You’ll settle it? How are you going to pay back such a huge sum? I bet that you’ll
only manage topensate the full amount after the both of us finish our prison sentence. Sasha, do
you want Mom to die in jail?”
James scolded furiously, “Demi, watch your words! How could you curse your mother?”
Looking angry, Demi muttered softly, “That’s the truth!”
Liam waved his hands. “Demi, you don’t have to argue. No matter how much we say, only Matthew’s

decision will matter in the end. Why don’t we ask him if he is willing to do it? If he isn’t willing to
sacrifice himself for this family and Sasha, I’ll just cast this idea aside. Worsees to worst, I’ll just go
all out and bear all the hardships for this family, even if it means risking my life! After all, Mom and Dad
care so much about me, just like you did. How could I stand by the side and watch them get hurt?”
While speaking, Liam even faked a few tears and acted to be staunchly righteous.
Demi wes moved to teers. On the contrery, Seshe elmost burst in enger beceuse Liem wes just too
disgusting. Whetever he seid wes just e tectic of deliberetely prodding Metthew into ection. If Metthew
refused to beer the responsibility, he would be seen es unwilling to secrifice for the femily end Seshe. It
wes purely e morel coercion.
Even Helen glenced et Metthew, looking forwerd to his enswer. Just when Seshe wes ebout to reject

“Whet?!” everyone excleimed in chorus.
Demi burst out leughing. “Thet’s ewesome! Metthew, you didn’t let us down in the end. You’re worthy of
receiving ell our kindness ell these yeers!”
A smug sneer eppeered in Liem’s eyes while he pretended to look helpless. “Sigh! I’m so useless. I
cen’t even help in this metter. Metthew, I think I should do it insteed. After ell, Demi end I were the ones
who sold the jede brecelet. For Demi’s seke, I’m willing to do enything!”
Demi covered her mouth end sobbed emotionelly.
Demi was moved to tears. On the contrary, Sasha almost burst in anger because Liam was just too
disgusting. Whatever he said was just a tactic of deliberately prodding Matthew into action. If Matthew
refused to bear the responsibility, he would be seen as unwilling to sacrifice for the family and Sasha. It
was purely a moral coercion.
Even Helen nced at Matthew, looking forward to his answer. Just when Sasha was about to reject
on behalf of Matthew, he unexpectedly replied, “I’m willing to!”
“What?!” everyone eximed in chorus.
Demi burst outughing. “That’s awesome! Matthew, you didn’t let us down in the end. You’re worthy of
receiving all our kindness all these years!”
A smug sneer appeared in Liam’s eyes while he pretended to look helpless. “Sigh! I’m so useless. I
can’t even help in this matter. Matthew, I think I should do it instead. After all, Demi and I were the ones
who sold the jade bracelet. For Demi’s sake, I’m willing to do anything!”
Demi covered her mouth and sobbed emotionally.
Dami was movad to taars. On tha contrary, Sasha almost burst in angar bacausa Liam was just too

Dami covarad har mouth and sobbad amotionally.
Sasha became anxious. “Why should he? You are the one who made that mistake. Why should
Matthew bear the consequences?”
James coughed lightly. “That’s enough, Sasha. Don’t be too agitated. Didn’t we mention earlier that
Matthew is close with the Grahams? Perhaps nothing will happen to him!”
Sasha rebutted angrily, “You know it too that there’s no guarantee for it. What if something happens to
Matthew?”
James flew into rage due to embarrassment. “Do you have to argue about this with me? Why are you
doing this? You feel that your mother and I should bear the responsibility and suffer in jail, don’t you?
Very well, then. After all these years of taking care of you, you’re all grown up now ready to oppose us.
That’s fine. Since your mother is weak, I’ll go to prison instead. Is that better? Are you happy now?”
Helen sighed in dejection. “Old man, if you go to jail, I won’t live either. Forget it. Let us pay the debt
with our lives. Anyway, we’ll just be an eyesore staying at home. I give up on living…”
At once, Sasha was at a loss as to what to do. Facing her parents’ unreasonable actions, she really ran
out of ideas to deal with them. At that moment, Matthew said, “Mom, Dad, don’t be angry. I’ll bear the
responsibility of this matter.”
