Chapter 502
Matthew ignored Demi. He knew James and Helen very well. Despite being selfish, those two doted on their children. The only eyesore for them was Matthew and because of him, they treated Sasha unfairly too.
Therefore, even if Demi and Liam got into trouble this time, James and Helen wouldn’t actually chase them out. Besides, they only said that out of anger and it was just a show. Even so, Matthew wasn’t frustrated by that because this house was just a temporary place to live in.
When he got back to the room, Sasha was sitting on the bed sulkily. Feeling helpless, Matthew sighed. “Did you argue with your parents again?”
Angrily, Sasha asked, “Matthew, what is Mom and Dad thinking? Why did they allow Demi and Liam to come back and stay here after what they did? Don’t they need to be punished after making such mistakes?”
With a faint smile, Matthew replied, “Sasha, don’t be mad at Mom and Dad. You know how they’re like. You should get used to it.”
Sasha lashed out, “How can I get used to it? Mom and Dad are obviously biased! You’re innocent in that incident but they insisted that you did it and even tried to chase you out. Now that Demi and Liam are proven guilty, they only scolded them instead! That’s too outrageous!”
Matthew smiled and comforted her, “It’s fine, Sasha. As I said, this house is just a temporary place to live in so everything will be okay once we move into Lakeside Garden. It’ll only be the two of us living there.”
Sasha rolled her eyes at Matthew. “I got it. I know that you’re rich now so stop boasting about the house at Lakeside Garden. Even if we’re rich, we shouldn’t squander our money. Instead, we should save it and spend it wisely. Do you understand?”
Sasha’s words made Matthew smile because he felt like he was cared for whenever she nagged. While they were chatting leisurely, they suddenly heard someone thumping at the door.
When Matthew opened the door, Helen and Demi walked in together. Without saying a word, both of them walked straight to the bed.
Then, Helen walked a few rounds around the bed, looking everywhere in envy. At the same time, Demi followed Helen while describing the functions of this bed, causing Helen’s eyes to gleam even brighter.
“What a nice bed! If your dad and I can have such a bed, it would be wonderful. I’m sure you’re aware that your dad has cervical spondylosis and the doctor has advised us to get a better bed that can support his spine.
However, we didn’t have money to buy a nice bed back then because we had to pay for your tuition fees. Look at your dad now.
He’s hunching when he walks and that’s the consequence from sleeping in a poor bed in the past,” Helen jabbered while sitting on the bed.
Sasha was speechless because she obviously understood what Helen meant. Helen wanted this bed but she was too embarrassed to ask for it so she beat around the bush. If it was in the usual times, Sasha wouldn’t mind it but after the incident last night, she was already really angry.
Since Demi was the one who brought Helen up, she was undoubtedly the one who told Helen about this bed. The truth was, Demi longed for this bed too but she knew that she couldn’t get this bed with her rank in the family.
Yet, she wasn’t happy that Sasha and Matthew could sleep on such an expensive bed either so she called Helen over, hoping that Helen could take this bed away.
At that moment, Sasha was bubbling with anger. Ever since they were young, Demi would rather destroy whatever she couldn’t get than allow Sasha to have it, and this mentality had never changed.
