Demi opened her mouth but she couldn’t say a word because the maintenance staff was right that man- made damages weren’t covered by warranty.
Anxious, Helen asked, “Th-Then what should we do now?”
The maintenance staff shrugged. “We can’t repair it at the moment but I can assess the damage and report it to the manufacturer so that they can custom-make the parts. However, you’ll need to bear the expenses and pay them first in order for them to take orders.”
Helen stuttered, “I-It really cost 500 thousand?”
The maintenance staff replied, “Estimating it conservatively, it costs 500 thousand, but it might go higher than that.”
Finally, Helen panicked completely. “Wh-What should we do? Who dismantled the bed just now? Liam, call them back now! They have to bear the repair cost.”
Looking awkward, Liam bowed his head without saying a word.
Helen became like an ant on hot bricks. “Why aren’t you responding? Demi, call them and ask them to come back now!”
However, Demi lowered her head without making a sound as well.
Sasha couldn’t stand it anymore and lashed out, “Mom, you don’t have to pressure them for answers. They told the workers just now that they’ll bear the responsibility if anything goes wrong. Therefore, they ought to bear the repair cost themselves!”
Helen gaped in disbelief. “Is that true? Demi, h-how could you promise them about that? The repair cost is 500 thousand! How are you going to pay for it?”
With a red face, Demi suddenly shouted, “Sasha, stop making up stories! When did I say that I’ll bear the responsibility? ”
Sasha couldn’t help but be stunned at Demi’s words. She didn’t expect that Demi would deny what she said previously.
Right at that moment, Matthew fished out his phone and said softly, “Luckily, I recorded what you said just now. Demi, do you want to listen to your own words?”
Demi was dumbfounded as she was indeed trying to get away with it.
Unexpectedly, Matthew had recorded her voice beforehand.
A smile bloomed on Sasha’s face while she patted Matthew’s back. At the same time, she said in a low voice, “You truly considered every detail!”
Matthew chuckled. “It’s not rare for them to play it off so naturally, I have to plan ahead.”
Helen snatched the phone and played the recording, and they could clearly hear what Demi said previously.
Listening to that recording, Demi’s face went deathly pale.
This time, they wouldn’t be able to get away with it.
Simmering with rage, Helen chided, “Demi, how could you be so stupid to let them simply dismantle such an expensive bed? Besides, they are the ones who damaged the bed so they should be responsible for it! H-How can you promise that you’ll bear the responsibility instead? Can you afford it?!”
Demi looked like she was about to burst into tears. “Mom, I-I didn’t know that it would turn out this way. I just wanted to dismantle the bed. Who would’ve anticipated this situation? B-Besides, I only did that so that you and dad can sleep on this bed as soon as possible…”
Helen was speechless. “So what should we do now? It’s 500 thousand! Can you afford it?”
Bowing her head, Demi didn’t say a word and just wiped away her tears.
Looking at her, Helen couldn’t help but pity her so she sighed and averted her gaze to Sasha.
At once, Sasha’s expression changed while she anxiously said, “Mom, I have nothing to do with this! It’s her problem so she should fix it herself. I’m not cleaning up the mess for her!”
Helen flew into rage instantly. “Sasha, how can you say that? She’s your sister after all, and sisters should help each other. If you don’t help your own family, who’s going to help her? Outsiders?”
