Chapter 367

Sasha was extremely angry. “Mom, you heard what he said! Demi went over herself and nobody
captured her! What else do you have to say now?”

Helen looked embarrassed and she gritted her teeth. “So what? We have to look beyond the surface and
get to the root of the problem.

All of this is Matthew’s fault! If Matthew didn’t provoke Young Master Hughes, he wouldn’t hurt Demi
even if she went over! He only kept Demi hostage because Matthew hit him!”

Sasha was so furious, she grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it to the ground before she roared,
“All you do is put the blame on Matthew! Can’t you be reasonable for once?!”

Helen was stunned while James blew his top. “Sasha, what are you doing? Is that the right way to
speak to your mother? How dare you throw things in anger in front of your parents? Have you lost your
mind?”

With tears streaming down her face, Sasha gritted her teeth and said, “What else can I do to express my
frustration? Let me put this straight, if anything bad happens to Matthew this time, I don’t want to live
anymore! You two can just live the rest of your lives with Demi!”

After Sasha finished speaking, she directly went back to her room.

James and Helen looked at each other. After a moment of silence, Helen muttered, “It’ll all be fine. She’ll
get over it after a while.”

James nodded in agreement. “You’re right. This child has fallen for Matthew’s tricks. Once she meets
someone better, she’ll know our intentions are good! Oh, by the way, where is Sasha’s phone? Go and
get her phone so that she doesn’t secretly call Matthew.”



Helen immediately started to panic and hurriedly said, “You’re right. We should go and take her phone
away.”



With that, the two of them ran into Sasha’s room and took her phone away. Then, they scanned the room
but they were still worried even after making sure there weren’t any other communication devices, so
they simply stayed there and kept an eye on Sasha.

Sasha naturally knew what the both of them were thinking and she was mad. She was sick of their antics
and didn’t even want to look at them, so she hid herself under the blanket.

Meanwhile, at Thousand Lakes Manor, after Travis heard the report from his subordinate, he grinned
widely.

“Excellent! Once I finish with the conference, I’ll make sure to reward you for your good work!” Travis
said with a chuckle.

The man was really happy to hear this and he thanked Travis repeatedly. Later, Travis led everybody to
the Eastshire representatives’ room. At the moment, a group of people were already gathered in the
room and they were all big shots in the state’s medical field. When they saw Travis, they got up one after
another to greet him.

Just then, a man in glasses leaned in and asked, “Young Master Hughes, didn’t you say that Dr. Ellis is
representing Eastshire to join the competition? Where is he?”

Hearing this, everybody turned to look at Travis hopefully. In fact, these wealthy men wouldn’t personally
attend conferences like this in the past and only waited for the results. However, the news that Dr. Ellis
was coming out of seclusion and joining this year’s conference had attracted a crowd because after all,
he had a great reputation in the medical field of Eastshire.



Before Dr. Ellis went to practice in hiding, Eastshire was often in the top three in the annual Six Southern
States Medical Conference, but after he stopped participating, Eastshire had ranked in the last place for
several consecutive years, which caused everyone in the medical field of Eastshire to feel embarrassed.
Now that Dr. Ellis had come out of hiding, everyone was naturally encouraged and confident so they
rushed over to meet Dr. Ellis.

Travis let out a sigh and said, “Gentlemen, Dr. Ellis won’t be representing Eastshire for the competition!”

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a bomb had been dropped onto the crowd. Everybody was
dumbfounded.

“Why? Didn’t you say that Dr. Ellis was participating in the competition? Why is he suddenly not
participating?” the crowd asked in panic.

With a helpless look on his face, Travis replied, “Gentlemen, there’s nothing I can do. Dr. Ellis was
bewitched by a man named Matthew, but I’m not sure how. Just a moment ago, he announced that he
would be withdrawing from the competition at the last minute!”
