Chapter 388

At that moment, James suddenly slammed his fist on the table and roared, “Are you done fighting? You
haven’t stopped fighting ever since you came back! Do you think I’m dead and the master of the family is
gone?”

Everyone in the room was stunned. Then, Helen hurriedly said, “Honey, Demi is right…”

“Shut your mouth!” James scolded angrily. “Demi, this time I support your sister. You indeed did the
wrong thing. Travis almost r*ped Sasha last time but you still ran to find him! Is there something wrong
with your brain? Are you desperate to kill your sister?”

Sasha was shocked. She never thought that there would be a day when her father would speak for her.
Meanwhile, Demi lowered her head and said nothing because after all, she was deliberately causing
trouble. If both her parents supported her, she would definitely make an even bigger fuss. However, now
that James wasn’t supporting her, she couldn’t make a scene.

“James, can’t you be careful of the things you say?! Demi is badly hurt. Why are you still scolding her?
Can’t you feel sympathy for your child?” Helen said angrily.

However, James furiously rebutted, “Since ancient times, loving mothers raised spoiled children! It’s your
fault for spoiling her. Let me put this straight! Whoever is responsible for this matter will have to bear the
consequences. Demi, this time, it’s your fault and you can’t deny that Matthew saved your life. Hurry up
and thank him!”

Hearing this, Demi was annoyed. “Dad, you want me to thank him? On what grounds? He’s just a loser,
so why should I thank him? Besides, the person who saved me is someone Stanley sent over and not
him. What does he have to do with my rescue?”

James was infuriated. “If Matthew didn’t contact Stanley, do you think Stanley will give a crap? Do you
really think you’re that important? If you really are capable, why don’t you call Stanley right now?”



Demi muttered something under her breath and didn’t talk back to James. After a while, she said with a
reluctant look on her face, “Mom, say something!” Just when Helen was about to speak, she saw James
warning her with a glance.

Helen was slightly startled but she quickly said, “Demi, I think your father is right. You shouldn’t have
gone to find Travis. Furthermore, Matthew was the one who rescued you. Hurry up and thank him!”



Demi was stunned. Even my mother won’t support me?

“I don’t want to! Why should I thank him?! I will never thank him no matter what!” Demi shouted again
and again.

James directly slammed his fist on the table and stood up. “If you don’t thank him, I’ll beat you up to
teach you a lesson, you unfilial girl! Besides, I haven’t settled the account with you yet regarding what
happened to your sister!”

Demi shivered in fear. Seeing that Helen wasn’t going to help her, she finally gave in. Gritting her teeth,
she angrily muttered, “Thank you, Matthew!”

Hearing this, James angrily yelled, “Is this how you are supposed to express gratitude?”

Helen waved her hand and said, “Enough. The child is heavily injured. What else do you want her to do?
We’ll always remember that Matthew helped us and learn from our mistakes. Matthew, you shouldn’t
hold a grudge against her either. After all, Demi is much younger than you both.”

Matthew nodded with a soft smile but deep down, he was speechless.

Demi is only less than two years younger than us. How is that much younger? It’s obvious Helen is still
siding with Demi. However, I can’t figure out James’s reaction. Why did my father-in-law, who always



despised me, suddenly change his attitude?

In an earnest tone, James said, “Demi, Matthew saved your life this time. You must remember this. From
now on, you have to be polite to Matthew whenever you see him, understand? He’s our family and our
relationship with each other will always be stronger than the relationship we build with outsiders!”

Demi was confused. What’s wrong with my father? Since when did he start treating Matthew as family?
