Chapter 1049

Matthew Is Dead This Time!

Looking at Liam, James remembered Matthew did smash his head with a beer bottle.

Panicking, Sasha said, “Demi, don’t spout nonsense!”

To this, Demi replied, “I’m spouting nonsense? Come on, are you still covering for him even though the
video is right in front of your eyes?”

Sasha rebuked in a hurry, “T-This only proves that they had a fight. But it doesn’t prove that Donovan
was beaten to death by Matthew!”

Sneering, Demi continued, “I knew you were going to say that. Coincidentally, Liam has a friend who
knows the coroner who did the autopsy on Donovan. Do you want to know about the autopsy result?”

Sasha said in a rush, “What’s the result?”

Demi sneered, “According to the autopsy report, it indicated that Donovan died from heavy blows which
caused hemorrhage internally.”

Her words silenced the people in the house. As Sasha slumped on the sofa, she felt weak all over, with
dead-looking eyes.

James turned as white as a sheet. “H-How did it come to this? Why did it become like this?”



Peering at them, Demi sneered, “Are you still covering for him, huh? The video, paired with the autopsy
report, is irrefutable evidence! Do you still have anything to say?”

Sasha, who was pasty white, grabbed the sofa with both hands silently.



Demi then looked toward her father. “Dad, are you still going to speak up for him? To continue helping
this murderer? To still support him using our family’s resources? Dad, do you know you’ll also be an
accomplice if you help a murderer?”

James also sat slumped on the sofa. After a long time, he uttered tremblingly, “H-How could he have
been so merciless? What do we do now? What can we do now?”

Sneering, Demi responded, “What are we going to do now? Don’t worry, Dad! This isn’t our concern
anymore! Today, the ten great families have converged with the aim of getting revenge for Donovan!
Today will mark the death of Matthew!”

Trembling from Demi’s words, Sasha nearly broke down.

With a face full of despair, James stared at Demi indignantly. “Demi, what…do you mean by this? He is
your brother-in-law. He’s in this mess now because of our family. Last night, he saved your mother. Are
you gloating over his current state right now?”

Liam immediately answered, “Oh no, we’re not gloating over him right now, Dad! We just want to stop
him from fooling anyone further! We would be happy to help him if he really did not commit murder. But
with the evidence right in front of our eyes, we would only be perpetuating his evil deeds if we continue to
help him! If others knew about this, they would say that we support injustice and would help our own
blindly!”

James was in such a shock that he sat frozen on the couch, not replying. Just then, Sasha suddenly
stood up, grabbed the car keys on the table, and wanted to run outside.

“Sasha, where are you going?” Helen yelled out of worry.

Clenching her teeth, Sasha replied, “I’m going to the Lewis’!”



Upon hearing this, all the people inside the house panicked. Demi dashed over in an attempt to stop
Sasha at all cost. “Sasha, you can’t go! If you do, the Lewis Family will think that we are still supporting
Matthew! When that happens, their wrath will be diverted toward us! T-Then, our family will be toast! It
hasn’t been easy for us to reach where we are today! With Dad and Mom’s age, are you trying to make
them die out of sheer anger?”

Sasha struggled with all her might. “Let go of me! I’m telling you that I don’t believe Matthew is a
murderer! I’m also not afraid of those so-called ten great whatever families!”

At that moment, James also walked over to them. Seeing this, Demi pleaded to her father, saying, “Look
at her, Dad! With what’s happening now, you have to help me stop her. We cannot let her go to the Lewis
Family at all costs…”

Looking at Sasha, James hesitated for a long time before finally grabbing onto her.

“Let’s be calm now, Sasha. We should just wait at home for now…”
