Chapter 565


    Huh, James’s thought process is quite interesting, thought Matthew to himself as he fell speechless. On


    the other hand, Sasha was furious as she shouted, “Can’t you be a little more rational, Dad? Who’s


    nning to steal ourpany? Isn’t Matthew part of our family too?”


    James shouted in return, “How is he part of our family? Is his surname Cunningham? Does he have any


    blood rtions to our family? He’s just a live-in son-inw—do you really think he’s one of us?”


    Stunned, Sasha fell silent for a moment before she quickly defended Matthew. “Dad… how could you


    say something like that? What’s wrong with being a live-in son-inw? Has he done anything wrong to


    our family’s name? Has he treated any of you badly? Where did you get the house that you’re currently


    living in?


    Who sacrificed everything to solve all the previous issues in thepany? Back when ourpany was


    on the brink of falling apart, who was the one that helped to deal with everything?” Her words got James


    tongue-tied as he didn’t know how to answer her.


    However, Helen replied quietly, “Why are you bringing up the past? It’s true that Matthew has done a


    lot for Wellness Herbary, but isn’t it only right for him to do something for thepany when he has


    been living in our home and feeding off our meals everyday for the past few years? It’s the same if I


    own a dog…”


    Sashapletely lost it at this point. “Enough! I’ll say this again—Matthew is my husband! I love him,


    and I will not allow any of you to insult him! If you guys continue to humiliate him, I… We’ll both leave


    Eastcliff together and we will nevere back!”


    Her words came as a shock to Helen, who then fell silent for a while as she was too stunned to speak.


    She knew how rash and stubborn her daughter could be—Sasha might actually stick to her words if she


    was forced to do so. Meanwhile, Demi stepped in to mediate the situation once she noticed how tensed


    everyone was. “Sasha, we have no intentions of humiliating Matthew.


    I just think that it’s a little too biased of you to make such decisions, don’t you think so? Matthew’s friend


    gets to take control of Wellness Herbary while we—your direct family members—can’t even work in the


    company. Don’t you think it’s quite unfair to us?”


    Angrily, Sasha replied, “Don’t you guys know why you were chased out of Wellness Herbary? What did


    you guys do in thepany previously? Don’t you remember the time when Wellness Herbary


    encountered that huge incident where we nearly lost investments worth tens of millions?


    Back then, the Board of Directors wanted to find the real culprit and send all of you to prison; who was


    the one who solved this whole matter for you guys? Demi, don’t you remember that time you transferred


    300 million out of thepany’s ount?


    Mom, Dad—the two of you got scammed by that boss and you nearly lost the wholepany. I’m sure


    you guys haven’t forgotten about that, right? Who was the one who got the money back? Who was the


    one who saved you guys from getting into prison? Who was the one who rescued thepany when it


    was at the brink of bankruptcy?”


    The people in the house all looked at one another, all of them too embarrassed to speak. After a long


    period of silence, Helen finally heaved a sigh before she said, “Sasha, it’s true that we’ve made a few


    mistakes in the past. I know that you’ve always felt displeased with us; both your dad and I never got to


    study much, and your sister quit her studies to work so that she could pay for your school fees.

    It’s true that we’re dumb, and we certainly deserve to be scammed because we don’t have the


    knowledge and awareness needed to run a business. Whatever you say is true… We’re nothing more


    than a bunch of good-for-nothings!”


    Sasha was infuriated. How dare this woman use such tactics just to gain my sympathy at this point in


    time? “Mom, do you really want me to put everything out there? Sure—you and dad never got to study


    much since everyone was poor during your generation.


    However, what about Demi? Are you sure that she really dropped out just to pay for my school fees? Do


    you really want me to bring up everything about her past?” she uttered.
