Sasha couldn't help but interrupt, "Mom, what are you talking about? Since this mansion is a gift from Mr. Jefford
and the shareholders to Matthew, what has it got anything to do with our family?
Matthew was the one who spearheaded the investment while Mr. Jefford and the shareholders decided to invest
in him. At the time, | wanted to invest in him too but was stopped by the two of you. Hence, both our company
and our family aren't related to the investment in any way."
Helen was stumped. When Matthew successfully treated Billy Newman's daughter back then, they could still
claim their credit by saying that he did it with the help of the drugs manufactured by Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals. But this time, they really had no way to associate themselves with the investment.
At that moment, Demi laughed coldly. "Sasha, | don't quite get what you're saying. Why does that gift have
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnothing to do with our family? Even assets of a married couple are considered as jointly owned by husband and
wife, so how can Matthew claim full ownership of this mansion while he is just a live-in son-in-law of our family?
Helen nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Demi's right. Since he's the live-in son-in-law of our family, his things will
naturally be ours too! Back in the days, a live-in son-in-law like him would be considered as a slave of our family
and he wouldn't even be able to have anything to himself.
Mind you, even his life would be under our full control. If we wanted him to die, he would have to do so without
complaining; do you understand?"
Sasha snapped, "Such things only happened in ancient times! Your outdated opinions don't work in these
modern times. The fact that he is the live-in son-in-law of our family doesn't make any difference. Since we're
married, we are both equals. | don't care what you guys think.
This mansion is a gift from Mr. Jefford and the shareholders for Matthew and it belongs to him only. It has got
nothing to do with us!"
Helen seethed, "Sasha, w-what nonsense are you talking about? He has married into our family and everyone in
Eastcliff knows that he is a live-in son-in-law. Why do you have to let him enjoy equal status as you in your
marriage? If everything between the both of you are truly equal, why did he ask for one hundred thousand from
us?"
Sasha raised her voice and countered, "If he were given a salary for the work he had done over the past three
years, the amount would have already reached at least one hundred thousand. He's long cleared the debt he
owed us!"
However, James disputed angrily, "That's a different story. We helped him by offering him the money when he
was at his lowest. Shouldn't he appreciate our kind gesture?"
Sasha exploded, "Hasn't Matthew contributed to our family a great deal too? Back when he received an Armani
suit from Billy Newman, you guys snatched it from him and amended the suit to give to Liam as a gift.

When we found out that it was actually a loan, you guys forced Matthew to face the music. Later on, you cost the
company a three hundred million loss because of sinvestment and Matthew was the one who solved it for
the both of you.
If it wasn't for him who managed to get the money back, do you think it would be you or Matthew who went to
jail? Also, would you have been able to attend the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party if it wasn't for Matthew who did a
favor for Leanna Sandel? And don't forget the tUncle Jason came..."
James' face was red with embarrassment. Waving his hands, he bellowed, "That's enough! We're here just to talk
about this mansion and we aren't interested in the old scores! What is your point to all this?" Helen grumbled,
"Exactly! He did all those things on his own will; we didn't force him into it!"
Upon hearing, Sasha was exasperated. Are you sure you guys didn't force him into it? Yes, you didn't do it
directly but you were exerting pressure oninstead, which nearly forcedoff the ledge. Matthew only
agreed to everything because he didn't want to putin a difficult spot. | can't believe all of you refuse to admit
all those things now!
