Chapter 478
Meanwhile, Helen frowned and commented, "Sasha, please watch your words. How could Demi and Liam take
that watch? They aren't thieves!"
Upon hearing this, Sasha becagitated. "Mom, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that | stole it?"
James becunsettled as he heard that, so he jumped in, "Who says you stole it? We're just trying to find out
what happened. Can't your mother and | ask about where the missing watch went?" Sasha responded angrily,
"It's only us living here. If you don't think that Demi and Liam took it, that would mean that we were the ones
who took it. Is this really you trying to find out the truth? Then, James and Helen slowly nodded. "Sasha's right.
Matthew would never do this. But where did the watch go?"

Looking peeved, Demi responded, "We have to make things clear today! It's only us living here, so if you didn't
take it, the finger would be pointed at us. Liam, let's swear. If we took the watch, we'll be struck by lightning and
instantly killed by a car when we leave the house. How's that? Sasha Cunningham, Matthew Larson, do you dare
to swear like this?"
Sasha responded angrily, "Why wouldn't | dare to swear like that? I—"
At this point, James pounded the table and yelled, "That's enough! Both of you, shut up! Isn't this embarrassing?
Why would you two sisters make a stupid oath like that because of a watch? People are going to make you a
laughing stock if they hear about this."
Feeling rather offended, Demi replied, "So tell me; what should | do? Sasha Cunningham owns that huge
company, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, and claims that she wouldn't be interested in taking that watch. Is she
trying to say that Liam and | took it? If | don't defend myself, we would be labeled as thieves."
Her words annoyed Sasha, who responded, "Who says that you are thieves? | was just trying to say that we
didn't take it. Demi, can you please be a little more reasonable?
You didn't seem to hesitate when you accused Matthew of taking it. If | didn't help clarify it, Matthew would be
saddled with this infamy."
Demi froze when Liam jumped in, "Dad, Mom, | need to say something here. The reason we moved back is so
that we can be closer to you to fulfill our filial duties, and also so that we can spend more twith you in order
to help you build the pharmacy business.
We would never go after anything in this house nor even have the thought of doing so. | hope that Matthew can

people were stunned. Matthew immediately frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What tricks am | playing?"
Demi's eyes lit up and she piped in, "Well, you know what you did. | feel that someone intentionally took the
watch away and is trying to pin it on us so that we would move out. This is such a dirty trick: stealing and then
pinning it on someone. So shameless!"
Upon hearing this, James and Helen immediately becwary while Sasha was agitated by Demi's words. So,
she rebutted, "Please explain towhat you mean by that. Are you saying that Matthew took the watch and
pinned it on you?"
Demi chuckled and responded, "I never said that. You said it yourself. However, Dad, Mom, you really can't judge
a book by its cover. Matthew has been unhappy with us and he even hit Liam last night. Who knows if he actually
did that to get us kicked out!"
