Chapter 572
Angered, Sasha wanted to push the door open and barge into the room, but Matthew stopped her before she could do so. After gesturing at her to keep silent, he dragged her upstairs.
As soon as they returned to their room, Sasha asked urgently, “What are you doing, Matthew? Why didn’t you let me go in to clear things up? I-I’d rather die than give them the 300 million!”
Matthew sighed. “Calm down, Sasha. Dad and Mom have been displeased with me for quite some time, so what’s the use of you going inside and arguing with them? It’s not like you don’t know what kind of people they are; they always stubbornly insist on their own ideas.
Even if you fuss with them, they will only make a bigger scene than you—they might even force you to hand over the money by threatening to hang themselves. Hence, what’s the point of arguing with them?”
Sasha argued desperately, “E-Even so, we can’t let them do whatever they please! They want to give Liam 300 million to invest in real estate! What does Liam know about investing? Also, this house is yours; what gives them the right to take it away from you? I must tell them that they should forget about changing the name on the title deed!”
Matthew held Sasha by the arm and said, “Don’t worry; the problem can’t be solved like this. Besides, I’ve said it before that I don’t mind giving them the house. They’re your parents after all, and we certainly won’t be staying here in the future.”
Sasha continued desperately, “You’re always so good-natured, Matthew. You’re too kind to others, but other people might not be so kind to you. Just look at how they behave; they simply wish that you are dead! You… Why are you still so kind to them?”
Matthew chuckled. “They are your parents, Sasha. Since they were the ones who raised you up, I have to respect them. Moreover, what lies at the heart of this problem isn’t Dad and Mom—it’s mostly Liam. This man is malicious, so I think we must keep our guard up against him.”
Touched by his words, Sasha responded in a low voice, “Even so, you shouldn’t do such an injustice to yourself. What they’re doing is simply unreasonable; they will only go from bad to worse if you keep tolerating their behavior! Even if they are our parents, they shouldn’t do this, should they?”
Matthew advised softly, “Why should you be angry with them, Sasha? In any case, they still love you dearly and are just doing what they think is best for you. They might be doing it the wrong way, but they are much better than Wendy’s father in this aspect.”
Sasha gave a soft sigh, for she had heard from Matthew about Wendy’s father. Upon comparing Brandon with her parents, she realized that although her parents were being difficult on purpose, they only did so for her and her sister’s sake. On the contrary, Brandon treated his two daughters as bargaining chips to be exchanged for his benefits.
Come to think of it, I’m still considered lucky, she thought to herself.
Matthew then comforted her further, “Dad and Mom are old, so it’s normal for them to be a little old- fashioned. They’re being unreasonable right now in the same way as you were being unreasonable in front of them when you were young and immature. They still loved you no matter what tantrums you threw when you were little.”
Sasha looked up at Matthew with tears in her eyes; his words reminded her of how spoiled she had acted in her parents’ arms as a child.
When she recalled how dearly her parents loved her and her sister back then, her heart ached a little; she began to regret the words she had said to her parents earlier!
Feeling helpless, she then asked, “What should we do now, Matthew? My parents aren’t familiar with the real estate industry at all… How am I going to explain it to the Board of Directors if their 300 million
investment ends in failure again?”
