Matthew said nothing as he regarded Helen with an icy look.
Tiger, on the other hand, was quick to lash out at her. “You shameless old hag! The audacity of you to beg Mr. Matthew Larson to save your daughter when you don’t even know half of the things she and her husband have done!”
A strangled cry escaped Helen as she flinched at the abuse thrown her way, but she tried to argue nonetheless. “I know they weren’t too happy with Matthew, and I can’t deny that they’ve done some horrible things to him, but it doesn’t mean they deserve to die! We’re still family at the end of the day, and blood runs thicker than water. Bickering is part of family life!”
“Stop with the bullsh*t! Of course families fight, but these two imbeciles not only poisoned Mr. Matthew Larson’s food, they also staged the car crash so they could kill him. Who in their right mind would call this normal family bickering?”
James and Helen gaped at him, dumbfounded upon hearing this information. The former pressed incredulously, “A-Are you joking, Master Tiger? Liam and Demi are far too kind to do such hideous acts —”
“Kind? Don’t be ridiculous!” Tiger snapped, cutting him off halfway. “Why don’t you ask White or the couple of insolent fools here what Liam and Demi have done? In fact, White was the one who had given them the poison in the first place!”
Upon hearing this, James turned to shoot looks of disbelief at Gordon and the others, all of whom began to fidget awkwardly. Gordon, in particular, looked distinctly uneasy as he stammered, “I-I have nothing to do with this! This was all White’s idea! He was the one who promised Demi and Liam a huge sum of money and a company of their own if they helped him. The rest of us didn’t say anything to them!”
By saying all this, Gordon had essentially confirmed the truth of the situation.
James and Helen almost blacked out on the spot. They finally understood why Matthew and Tiger were so outraged. As it turned out, Liam and Demi had entirely crossed the line this time.
“How could these two kids be so gullible? At the end of the day, we’re all family. How could they do something like this? This is all White’s doing! They wouldn’t have been involved in this mess if that scoundrel had not misled them in the first place! Matthew, bring them back. I’ll beat them to death myself! I’ll stand up for you!” Helen cried desperately, her voice raising by an octave.
Tiger snorted. “Get out of our sight! Do you take us for fools? Asking us to bring them back is the same as saving them, is it not? Besides, I don’t think you have it in you to beat them to death. You should save yourself the trouble and let White’s henchmen kill them off for you instead!”
Horrified, James and Helen immediately objected to the harsh suggestion, shouting, “N-No! That’s not right!”
Helen turned to address Matthew frantically once more. “Say something, Matthew! Please! Demi is Sasha’s biological sister—please save her. I’ll get on my knees if that’s what it takes for you to save my daughter. I-I’ll do it now!” With that, she got on her knees and began to bow repeatedly before him, groveling at his feet in a show of extreme humility and apology.
James, on the other hand, had a grim look on his face, but he finally got down on his knees and begged Matthew as well.
He had no choice but to do so. Demi was his daughter, after all, and he had to do all he could to save her.
Despite the couple’s act of desperation, Matthew remained impassive as he flicked his wrist, ordering, “Tiger, bring them next door.”
Having heard this, Tiger immediately ordered a few of his men to haul James and Helen away against their protests.
As of now, the Whites, as well as Gordon and his men, were all who were left in the house.
The conflict that had erupted among the Whites had apparently ended as well.
President White had streaks of blood running down his face from where his wife had clawed at him viciously, and his face was tight with fury as he hissed through gritted teeth, “Regardless of what had happened, this is still a family matter of mine, and you shouldn’t have interfered in the first place! Do you take me for a pushover, Tiger? I’m from the White Family, you know, and the current head of the family happens to be my cousin! How dare you disrespect my family by barging into my home to stir up trouble like this?”
Gordon and the other men were relieved to hear President White fight back. With the White Family backing them up, they knew they had nothing to worry about. Emboldened by this, they began to challenge Tiger, taunting, “You’ve crossed the line today, Tiger!”
“So what if they call you Master Tiger of South Street? Do you think you’re so powerful and above the rest of us? Don’t you know that our assets come up to over billions?”
“Why, we could get rid of a violent and bloodthirsty savage like you with just by lifting a finger! Who do you think you are to pick a fight with us?”
