Sasha’s expression was cold. “You know very well in your heart whether or not you’re trying to harm me!”
Demi looked embarrassed at once, for she had nearly gotten Sasha killed during the previous incident with Young Master Hughes. Just then, James—who had been silent the whole time—finally spoke, “I just want to ask you a question, Matthew. Are you willing to solve the problem about the construction company for me? If you’re unwilling to do so, I’ll find a way to solve it myself, but I’ll no longer acknowledge you as my son-in-law!”
Sasha immediately objected, “Dad, how could you ask Matthew to solve a problem without explaining what it is? Matthew doesn’t even know what exactly has happened, nor does he know how serious the problem is, so how could he know if he can solve it?”
James barked, “Shut up! Did I ask you the question? I’m asking Matthew right now! Matthew, answer it yourself!”
Demi curled her lips, saying, “What else is there to hesitate about? My husband would have agreed to it without the slightest hesitation. Since you’ve married into our family, you should treat my parents like they’re your parents, yet you look so hesitant when Dad and Mom asked you for a little help. Oh, dear! This guy really has not the slightest bit of conscience right now!”
Sasha was burning with indignation. What kind of talk is that? How could it be reasonable to demand that someone solve your problem right now when he doesn’t even know what exactly you have done? She still wanted to make her utmost efforts to argue with them, but Matthew answered right away, “Since you’ve said so, Dad and Mom, leave the problem to me.”
Upon hearing his words, the four of them instantly felt like a huge weight had been lifted off their shoulders. They would have been in deep trouble if Matthew had turned them down!
“Alright! As expected, I didn’t misjudge you; you’re worthy of being my son-in-law! Matthew, I’ll support you no matter how you deal with the problem this time!” said James while patting Matthew on the shoulder like a kind elder.
Sasha could only glance at Matthew silently with a helpless expression. She knew that Matthew would never turn down her parents’ requests, which was exactly why James and Helen made demands on him over and over again. After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, “Dad, if you transfer the company to Matthew’s name, the construction company will be entirely his, right?”
James nodded. “That’s of course. After I transfer all my shares to him, the construction company will be entirely his, and we’ll never interfere in the company’s affairs again!”
Sasha nodded. “Alright. If that’s the case, I’d like to make a request too.”
James said, “Just say it!”
Sasha then glanced at Liam before saying in a grim tone, “He must be transferred away from the company first! He and Matthew aren’t on good terms, so I worry that Matthew’s work will be affected if he stays there!”
Liam almost laughed. How he wished he could leave the construction company right now to stay away from the bad debt! He promised smilingly, “No problem! Matthew, I’ll resign tomorrow and leave all the construction company’s matters in your hands! Work hard; I’m sure that you’ll do a better job than I did!”
Sasha nodded. “Secondly, you all will no longer have anything to do with the construction company from now on. However much money the construction company makes in the future will have nothing to do with you all. What do you think?”
James and the others wished it were so, so they nodded repeatedly and agreed to Sasha’s demands for fear that she might go back on her word. After they agreed on everything, Sasha nodded. “It’s useless to make promises by word of mouth. I think that we should write a letter of guarantee about this lest you all go back on your word in the future.”
Helen was annoyed. “Sasha, are you suspicious of us? I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Liam suddenly cut in with a laugh, “No problem. Mom, Sasha is doing so for the sake of Matthew’s interests. Let’s write a letter of guarantee so that Matthew won’t have misgivings while doing things in the future.” As he spoke, he gave Helen a meaningful glance.
Helen instantly figured out Liam’s intention. With the letter of guarantee, Matthew wouldn’t be able to go back on his word the next day even if he wanted to do so!
