“This is what you agreed to, not me!” Demi immediately countered. “I didn’t agree to apologize! I have been imprisoned for a day and if I still have to apologize, then it would’ve all been in vain! It was just one slap, so why should I apologize?”
Liam also nodded and said, “Mom, I believe Demi is right. If they released her yesterday, then she should apologize because that’s the right thing to do. However, Demi has been locked up for a day, yet she still has to apologize. This is simply crossing the line. Crystal is indeed the young lady of the Harrison Family, but that doesn’t mean that Demi is lowly and unworthy. She was detained so why does she have to apologize now? They’re being too unreasonable!”
When Demi heard Liam speak up for her, her face was immediately filled with joy. “Exactly! They’re being unreasonable! I’ve already suffered immensely by being locked up for one day. There’s no way that I’ll apologize!” Demi said loudly.
“How can you say that?” Helen murmured anxiously. “We have already agreed that you would apologize, as their condition for letting you out.”
Liam then said slowly, “Mom, when you agreed to these conditions, you didn’t discuss it with Demi. How do you know if she is willing to do so? Besides, Matthew was the one who went to discuss this matter with them. Tell us Matthew, do you really think that this is the right thing to do? She has been detained for a day, yet she has to apologize as well. Do you think it is reasonable?”
Demi’s expression also changed and she glared at Matthew. “So you’re the one who went to talk with them! No wonder that they’re making me apologize. You just want to trick me, you evil b*stard! You know that Crystal is from the Harrison Family so you specifically asked her to stay in your office and deal with us, right? This matter was all planned by you. You deliberately harmed me and kept me locked up for a day. I… I’ll fight you with my life!” The more Demi talked, the more she became enraged. Suddenly, she rushed at Matthew with a roar.
Matthew frowned. Demi had indeed tried to make a scene, just as he thought. Furious, Sasha stood up straight and shouted, “Demi, enough is enough! Matthew saved you. Not only are you not grateful at all, you even said such ignorant things. How can you be so inhumane? Matthew, you shouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter. It’s not like you’re getting any benefits from it. Forget it! We should leave this matter to them!”
Helen hurriedly tugged at Sasha. “Sasha, calm down! Oh Demi, you shouldn’t act like this. This time, if it wasn’t for Matthew speaking up for you… who knows how much longer you would be detained.”
James’ expression was also dark. “Demi, stop being stubborn. We have witnessed this matter unfold from beginning to end. If it weren’t for Matthew, it would be impossible for the Harrison Family to agree to let you go. You should thank him instead!”
Being reprimanded by her parents in this way, Demi’s arrogance suddenly disappeared. However, she still looked unconvinced. “I don’t care. I won’t apologize anyway. Matthew, you’re the one who agreed to this so you should go apologize instead!” Demi said and pursed her lips.
Matthew stared hard at Demi and said lightly, “So be it. It’s okay if you don’t apologize. However, let me give you a piece of friendly advice. They haven’t signed a letter of dispute settlement yet. If they want to hold you accountable again, they will be able to lock you back up any time. If the doctors verifies that Crystal suffered a minor injury or something… Hmph, the matter won’t be as simple as just imprisoning you for a few days anymore.”
Demi was dumbfounded to hear that. Then, she turned to look at Liam and asked, “I-Is this true?”
After all, Liam was knowledgeable. With an embarrassed look, he nodded slowly. “In theory, this is indeed the case.”
