Chapter 457

Sasha said angrily, “Demi, don’t you pull this trick on me. Asking them to testify… How could they possibly be honest?”

Liam leaned over and said in dissatisfaction, “Sasha, are you saying that my friends are all liars?”

Then, the crowd clamored suddenly, expressing their dissatisfaction toward her.

Demi yelled furiously, “Sasha, don’t think that just because you became the chairman of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, you’re better than everybody else. I’m telling you; one must always act with dignity.

Matthew is in the wrong for hitting others!

If he apologizes to my friends right now, I’ll let this matter pass peacefully. Otherwise, I’m going to report this to the police. We’ll see how he ends up when that happens!”

At that moment, Sasha’s expression shifted in horror. Matthew had beaten somebody after all. If this matter were to be reported to the police, he would be in serious trouble. Thus, she hurriedly said, “Demi, y-you’re going overboard! He is your brother-in-law! How can you do something like that?!”

Meanwhile, Demi was delighted. She felt as if she had found Matthew’s weakness as she gloated, “Brother-in-law? Pfft. Who does he think he is to become my brother-in-law? He’s just a good-for-

nothing mooching off his wife! I feel ashamed to know him!

Sasha, I gave him a chance to apologize on account of us being sisters. Otherwise, I’d make him face the music for his actions!”

Just then, the crowd began yelling, “Demi, call the police!”

“Look at the sturdy guy! He still can’t get up! He probably needs to be hospitalized.”

“He will go to jail if he’s convicted of battery and causing grievous bodily harm!”

“Report it! We have to report it to the police! People like him should die!”

Looking at Sasha smugly, Demi said, “Matt, it’s not like I didn’t give you a chance. I gave you a chance just now; if you had apologized to them, then this matter would have passed peacefully. But, you and your stupid pride would rather suffer miserably than apologize. Now that they’ve decided to report this matter to the police, you’re on your own. It has nothing to do with me anymore!”

Upon hearing those words, Sasha became anxious. If things got out of hand, Matthew would be in trouble. Thus, she nervously said, “Demi, Matthew didn’t act out on purpose. Those people were getting handsy with me just now, and he couldn’t bear watching them any longer. That’s why he stopped them. It’s just a trivial matter; is there a need to report this to the police?”

Waving dismissively, Demi replied, “Don’t waste your breath on that nonsense. He attacked somebody, and they want to report him to the police. Is there anything wrong with that? Also, you better watch what you say, Sasha. Which friend of mine was getting handsy with you? They are all gentlemen; how could they possibly do something like that? On the other hand, Matthew is such a savage! Uncivilized, uneducated, and quick to resort to violence. People like him would never learn their place unless they are properly taught a lesson!”

Then, Sasha became exasperated. “Your friends got all handsy with me! What the hell are you going on about?! Besides, Matthew is family! Not only that, but he also saved you last time! How can you do this to him?!”

Demi furiously said, “Don’t you dare bring up that matter again! If our parents didn’t stop me, I would never have let that matter slide! And now, he dares to hit my friends?! Do you think I’m a pushover?!

Liam, don’t waste any more time on them. Call the police immediately!”

Liam immediately took out his phone to call the police. Meanwhile, Sasha was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles. However, she was unable to stop them.

At that moment, Matthew spoke up, “Sure! Go ahead and call the police then! As these people trespassed into our house, I didn’t know whether they were here to rob us. I attacked them because I thought they were robbers. So, it counts as legitimate self-defense.

On the other hand, these people came into the house to steal and even tried to attack the house owner… That already constitutes a robbery. I can hire the best lawyer in Eastcliff, and I promise you that every single person in this house will go to jail.”
