Chapter 417

With that, James stormed off to the second floor of the mansion.

Demi glanced at Matthew and sneered, “Did you hear that? It isn’t your turn to call the shots in our family
yet! Mind you, the company has to be managed by my husband, so you’d better give up any intentions to
take what’s ours!” With that, she strutted off haughtily.

Sasha’s body trembled in anger. “Mom, h-how can Dad be so unreasonable? This won’t do; I have to go
and talk it out with him now!”

Helen glared at her furiously and chastised, “What are you going to say to him? Do you want to drive him
to an early grave? There isn’t anything wrong with what he said. Since he’s the head of our family, it’s
only right for him to make all the decisions.

What’s gotten into you, Sasha? Why do you always go against your father? Will you be satisfied to see
him fall ill because of your actions?”

Sasha retorted, “Mom, how did I go against him? I’m just stating the truth!”

Helen fumed, “Truth is, you’re colluding with Matthew to get rid of both of us! Sasha, let me tell you that it
won’t be your turn to have any say in our family affairs as long as your Dad and I are still around!” With
that, Helen too stormed off upstairs angrily.

Sasha’s eyes welled with anger and she exclaimed through gritted teeth, “I don’t care! I can’t allow
something like this to happen!”

Matthew tugged at her sleeve and spoke in a soft voice, “Don’t be angry. Just let him have the company
if that’s what he wants; I have no intention to run the company either.”

“Matthew, why can’t you think about yourself for once? Everyone thinks you are useless and
incompetent. Don’t you want to keep the company and show them you can be excellent at running a



business?” Sasha countered frantically.



Matthew chuckled lightly. “Sasha, what others think of me doesn’t matter as long as you know I’m not a
useless man. What’s more, I love my job at the hospital and my passion lies with improving my medical
skills. To be honest, I don’t really have time to run the company, so there’s no point arguing with Dad and
Mom over this.”

Sasha continued furiously, “Matthew, can’t you see that this entire thing is Liam and Demi’s idea? It’s
obvious that they are trying to rob you of your stuff! You should really adopt a hardball tactic to stop them
from asking for more next time!”

Matthew shook his head and pointed out, “Sasha, I’m aware that this is their idea, but will playing
hardball with them do us any good? With such a strong prejudice Dad and Mom have against me now,
they’ll be even more angry with us if we insist on not letting Liam run the company.

If they were to fall ill because of that, wouldn’t we be guilty for the rest of our lives? Just let Liam have the
company if that’s what he wants. It might not turn out to be such a good thing in the end too!”

It was only then did Sasha nod in agreement. She supposed Matthew knew what he was doing. In
reality, what irritated her the most was the underhand tricks deployed by Liam and Demi with the aim to
rob Matthew of his stuff. Therefore, she would be able to accept the outcome if Matthew had some ideas
on how to teach them a lesson.

Suddenly, Demi suddenly stuck out her head from upstairs and shouted, “Sasha, I’m moving your stuff to
the room next door!”

“Why are you moving my stuff?” Sasha was puzzled.



“Liam and I are having this room!” Demi responded.

Sasha nearly freaked out when she heard that because Demi was referring to the master bedroom on
the second floor. The two master bedrooms on the first and second floor were the largest and most
exquisitely renovated rooms in the entire mansion.

The one on the first floor was taken by James and Helen because Helen fancied how it was connected to
the indoor swimming pool. As for the one on the second floor, Sasha chose it because the room came
with a large balcony that covered an area of over thirty square feet, which was what she had always
wanted.

However, Demi was trying to take their room now!
