Helen hurriedly laughed and said, “Yes, this is all thanks to Matthew. Matthew, let me thank you on behalf of Demi!”
Matthew waved his hand. “You’re welcome, Mom. I’m just conveying what the Harrison Family told me. It’s up to you guys whether to accept their request.”
“Of course we agree,” Helen hurriedly murmured. “I’m agreeing in Demi’s stead. We agree!”
Matthew nodded. Since Helen agreed, he could then let the Harrison Family know their answer.
They were dumbfounded upon hearing her complaint. With a cold expression, Sasha said furiously, “Demi, do you really think that we don’t want to save you? For your sake, Mom almost had to kowtow to the Harrison Family, but even then they didn’t agree to reconcile. What could we have done?”
Unconvinced, Demi said, “Why didn’t you guys think of other ways when they refused to reconcile? You could use your connections or give them money to save me. Sasha, you are also the chairman of a company now; can’t you even do such a simple thing? All I did was just slap her. How big of a deal can it be?”
Hearing that, even James was annoyed. “How big of a deal can it be? The Harrison Family has already asked everyone to stop cooperating with the Cunningham Family! Everyone Liam knows refused to invest in the villa area project and our company’s customers are all going to terminate their contract with us! Do you still think that it isn’t a big deal?”
Demi was dumbfounded. Scratching her head, she muttered, “Is it… Is it really that serious? I j-just slapped her lightly… They are obviously overreacting!”
Helen said awkwardly, “Oh right—you have to apologize. Demi, after you clean up and have something to eat, you need to apologize to Miss Harrison. Only then will this matter be over!”
Demi’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You want me to go and apologize to Crystal? Why should I? I have been imprisoned for a day, yet I still have to apologize to her? Doesn’t that mean that I was jailed in vain? Forget it; it will never happen!”
Helen panicked. “Demi, stop being stubborn. They only agreed to reconcile because we promised them you’d apologize. If you don’t want to apologize, then… Won’t we have to go back on our word?”
