Chapter 419


    After giving Demi and Liam a piece of his mind, James returned to his room, thereupon Helen eyed him


    with displease. “James, what’re you doing? What’s wrong with Demi asking for that master bedroom


    upstairs? Was it really necessary for you to scold her so?”


    James red at her and scowled, “Women really are a bunch of short-sighted creatures! Didn’t you


    hear what Matthew just said? He threatened to return this mansion to Jefford and the other


    shareholders! Do you really want him to go that far?”


    Helen snapped furiously, “What gives him the right to return this ce to them? Since we own this


    mansion, he has no right to deal with it! I can’t see why you’re so scared of him.”


    James shot her a baleful re. “Is there something wrong with you? Can’t you see why we have to


    handle this with care? Right now, Jefford and the rest gave this ce to Matthew, not to us! If we allow


    things to escte, Matthew is only one phone call away from telling Jefford to take this ce back.


    Can’t you see it? It’s just a room and it makes no difference who gets to have it because both Demi and


    Sasha are our daughters. Do we want to lose the entire mansion just because of such a trivial matter?


    Why can’t you understand something as simple as this?”


    Helen was flustered and muttered, “W-What you say does make some sense.”


    James added, “If Matthew really wants to get back at us, we won’t get anything, including the two cars


    parked outside and thepany from Stanley Carlson. Seriously, you should think things through more


    often.”


    Helen nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Sigh, Demi insists on having nice things because she’s spoilt


    by us. Fine, I’ll convince her to stay in the room downstairs for the time being. By the time we get the


    James nodded and responded, “That’s more like it! At this hour, our priority is to keep Matthew happy


    before we have thepany. It would be pointless to lose thepany just because of a room!”


    Meanwhile, Sasha was snuggled in Matthew’s arms blissfully in the master bedroom upstairs.


    “Matthew, you should have started treating them in that way sooner and not constantlypromising


    back then! People like them won’t ever be satisfied with what they own. The more you put up with


    them, the more they will ask from you. You have to make sure they know you are no pushover! I must


    say you handled them very well earlier!” Sasha chuckled.


    Matthewughed lightly. “Sasha, I know how to handle things. There are things I can tolerate but there


    are also things I can’t. I can be more forgiving to James and Helen because they are your parents but I


    don’t see the need to treat Demi and Liam the same way! What’s more, no one is allowed to bully the


    person I love the most. That’s where I draw the line!”


    Sasha flushed because she knew Matthew was alluding to her. “Speaking of, what do you n to do


    with thepany? Are you really going to let Liam manage it?” she asked.


    Matthewughed lightly and replied, “That is just a temporary arrangement. Don’t worry, I’m sure we


    don’t have to wait for long before Liam asks to leave thepany.”


    Sasha nced at him and her heart skipped a beat as she saw how confident he looked. At that


    moment, she was even more convinced that Matthew was an immensely talented guy. Leaning her


    head on his chest, she murmured, “Matthew, you have my absolute trust no matter what you’re going to


    do. I only have one request—please don’t put yourself through any hardship just because you want me


    to be happy!”
