Chapter 284
Matthew was left speechless knowing that James still wanted to compel him into getting a divorce with Sasha. On top of that, James even made it sound so noble by telling him that he should let Sasha go if he loved her. In conclusion, all James wanted was to realize his dreams of living a life of the riches.
Judging from their attitude, Matthew reckoned they had long planned for this while they merely made use of the crisis to exert more pressure on him. “Dad, I’m not going to do that! I really love Sasha and I won’t divorce her. As for the crisis, I’ll handle it well, so please don’t worry about that!” Matthew answered.
Demi was annoyed at once by what he said. “You will handle it? How are you going to do that? If you were a capable man, you wouldn’t have depended on us for a living for the past three years!
You are only good at bragging! Instead of letting you handle the crisis, I’d rather just shut the company down right now!”
Helen chided, “Matthew, you kept telling us how you love Sasha, but is this your way of showing your love for her? Don’t you understand that you should let her live a better life instead of keeping her to yourself?
It seems like you don’t love her at all but rather, you just want to fulfill your own possessive desires of her! Would you only be happy to see Sasha be drowned in debts and be announced bankrupt? Would you only be satisfied to see her go through hell?”
Sounding resigned, Matthew emphasized, “Dad, Mom, I really meant what I said and I will really settle this problem!”
Demi flung her arms angrily and fumed, “I can’t believe you are still bragging at this juncture. Matthew, we don’t expect you to become a very successful man, but at least we hope you can be more down-to- earth.
You are the reason why this crisis happened, so you have to help us to settle it! We know you can’t handle it, which is why we provided you with a solution in the first place. However, you refuse to go along with it. How could you be so irresponsible?”
Matthew reiterated solemnly, “I really can handle this! Please just give me some time to do that!”
Helen snapped angrily, “Matthew, I can see you’re living in your own fantasy. Do you really think you’re capable of handling the crisis? You’d better stop dreaming!
Fine, if you could solve this in the end, both of us would treat you like a big boss in the future. Otherwise, you will have to divorce Sasha and you will never step foot into our house again. What do you think?”
James nodded his head vigorously thinking that there was no way Matthew could resolve the crisis.
Matthew shook his head and rejected Helen’s offer, “Mom, Sasha is the love of my life and I won’t use her as a stake to bet on something!”
Demi taunted him immediately, “I knew you were a coward! You’re good at nothing other than bragging! What makes you think you are capable of handling the crisis? Bah! Matthew, I’m so disgusted with you!”
Matthew shot Demi a furious glare. If it wasn’t because James and Helen were around, he would have already landed several vicious slaps on her face. After taking a deep breath to suppress his rage, he declared in a grim tone, “No matter what, I won’t bet on Sasha.
But if you guys insist on getting an assurance from me, I can offer that! If I can’t handle this, I will jump off from that building. How does that sound?”
Helen glanced at the building Matthew was pointing at, consisting of more than ten levels. Anyone who plunged over from such a height would surely die!
Helen and James glanced at each other before nodding their heads immediately in agreement. “Great, you’d better remember your promise! Matthew, you can’t go back on your words when the time comes!”
Matthew let out a sigh in resignation, lamenting the fact that the old couple were really keen to see him die as long as they could get rid of him. However, he did not make any comment in the end.
All he did was nod his head slowly to acknowledge his promise. After all, they were Sasha’s parents and he couldn’t get into an argument with them, because that would put Sasha in a difficult position between her parents and himself.
