Matthew and the others didn’t linger around in President White’s house, so they returned to The Grand Garden. As soon as they arrived home, they saw Liam and Demi collapsed on the sofa. Liam’s ear and the multiple injuries Demi suffered were already treated and bandaged. The incident had taken a toll on both of them, so they seemed haggard.
Seeing both of them had Sasha all riled up. Without a word, she rushed forward to give Liam two loud slaps. “Get the f*ck out of here! This is my house, so you have no right to be in here!”
Demi jumped to Liam’s defense. “Sasha, what do you think you’re doing? Are you crazy? Why did you slap my husband?”
Upon hearing that, Sasha turned to strike Demi in anger. “Are you seriously asking that? Why did you try to do harm to my husband? Why did you poison him and try to kill him by staging a car crash?”
In response to that, Liam let out a whimper. Sasha’s slaps had torn his wounds open, staining the gauze on both of his ears red. At the same time, both James and Helen were wearing a livid expression, and anger was evident in their voice. “Demi, there’s no point in denying what you have done! Your deeds are now known to the public! Your sister is right to slap you, because you deserve it!”
Demi had never gone through a situation in which her parents didn’t side with her, so she was shocked into silence. After a while, she began to throw a tantrum. “Mom, Dad, why would you say that? Look at the state that I’m in! Don’t you feel sorry for me at all? You are accusing us of attempting to murder Matthew, but he’s still alive! He’s here with us, totally unscathed, whereas Liam and I are a mess! W-Why are you being so partial toward Matthew?”
James yelled, “Who else do you think would save you? You would’ve already been dead if it weren’t for Matthew! Just compare yourselves to him! Look at what you have done! You aren’t even feeling sorry after committing those crimes! You didn’t even thank him for saving you when he repaid your evil deeds with kindness! You’re such shameless b*stards!”
It wasn’t until then that Demi quieted down. While hanging her head low, she apologized. “Mom, Dad, I really had no idea that this was what had happened. Matthew, I’m sorry. I-I know I did you wrong.”
However, Matthew didn’t even acknowledge her, for he didn’t care about her apology at all. From his perspective, Demi and Liam should have paid for what they had done with their lives. The only reason he rescued them was because he didn’t want to see Sasha distressed. It didn’t mean he was willing to forgive them.
