Early the next morning, Matthew and Sasha were enjoying their breakfast when Minerva rushed in with a look of annoyance.
“Matthew, are you nuts? It’s the first time my three friends visited us and look what you’ve done to them! They’re now hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding after drinking so much. Do you know that your actions have made me a laughing stock amongst all my friends? This is so embarrassing!” Minerva banged her hand on the table as she yelled angrily.
Meanwhile, Sasha merely stared at her calmly. “Oh? So you are aware that it’s embarrassing? Those are your friends, not mine. This is their first visit to my house but they’ve attempted to get me drunk. Why didn’t you consider whether I’d be embarrassed? Besides, the three of them ganged up but they were still no match for my husband, so how dare you make a fuss here right now?”
“Sasha, what do you mean by that? You should be grateful that they were willing to have a drink with you!” Minerva angrily retorted, to which Sasha immediately replied, “They should also be grateful that my husband agreed to have a drink with them!”
Matthew didn’t even bother to look at her. Meanwhile, Sasha casually commented, “Excuse me? The name on the title of this house is currently under my husband’s name. If you think staying here is degrading for you, feel free to move out. I won’t stop you from doing so!
Minerva was suddenly rendered speechless. She enjoyed staying here and it was all because of this that she could get to know a lot more people. Right now, everyone assumed that all of this belonged to her family, so they went out of their ways to suck up to her. She enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention. If they kick me out of here, I won’t be able to show off anymore!
Minerva paused for quite some time before losing her temper. “Sasha Cunningham, are you kicking me out?”
However, Sasha casually commented, “You’re the one who thinks staying here is degrading for you. If you feel that way, feel free to move out because I’m not stopping you!”
At this moment, Minerva was at a loss for what to do. She’d intended to seek help from Helen. With the latter not at home right now, there wasn’t a single person here who welcomed her presence. And so, she clenched her teeth and stared at Sasha for a moment. All of a sudden, she said, “Whatever! I’m not so petty so I’ll forgive you for this! You know what? I’m going to take a shower. I was at the hospital the whole night taking care of my friends, and I need a good sleep now!” With that, she scurried off upstairs without giving Sasha and Matthew a second glance.
Upon seeing what took place, Sasha was speechless beyond words. I’ve had enough of her nonsense all this while! Truth was, last night’s incident had made Sasha really mad. I’m fine with her having visitors but they should watch their manners! They tried to inebriate me and attempted to molest me! That’s not acceptable at all!
And so, she had made up her mind today that she would kick Minerva out of the house. However, she underestimated the latter’s shamelessness as the other girl stubbornly refused to leave despite the former’s stinging words.
Feeling resigned, she exchanged looks with Matthew. I guess there will be a huge commotion at home for the time being. However, unbeknown to them, this was all just a start. Right after they had finished their breakfast, Tate rushed over and announced, “Sasha, lend me your car please!”
