Chapter 414
Upon hearing, Helen nodded in agreement. "Demi's right. James, we really should be more cautious with
Mathew; he's too cunning."
James nodded too; Demi's comment had put him on his guard. "You're right. Well, let's do it this way then! The
company will be managed by Liam!"
Demi was elated to hear that and Liam looked excited about the prospect. After the four of them entered the
mansion and unpacked their belongings, James and Helen went straight to Sasha to ask for the car keys of the
two cars parked outside.
Sasha was pissed when she heard their request. "Dad, Mom, those cars are a gift from Tiger for the two of us.
Why do you need them? Don't you guys have your own car?"

Sasha was left speechless for several moments. "Dad, Mom, life went on perfectly fine even when we had no car.
Back then, you guys didn't have much to do and rarely traveled to places which needed a car! Why do you guys
suddenly need a car so desperately now?"
Helen countered furiously, "Of course we needed a car at that time. We only decided not to tell you about it
because we were worried that it might have distracted you from working. Do you really think we spen every day
of our lives relaxing at hlike a certain useless man who's been depending on us for a living so far? Do you
think it was easy to raise you up? We had plenty of things to do!"
James too yelled angrily, "What's the point of telling her those things? If she were to be more considerate, we
wouldn't have ended up so miserably. When we couldn't afford a car, we didn't bring up the issue because we
didn't want you to feel stressed about it. Now that you own two cars, what's wrong with letting your mom and |
have them? No one is using them anyway!"
Sasha corrected him, "What do you mean no one is using the cars? I'm driving the Maserati to work while
Matthew will use the Mercedes-Benz to travel to the hospital."
Helen objected, "Why does Matthew need a car while he can continue using that motorbike? Won't he be worried
about becoming a laughing stock when he drives a luxurious car to work? You might be able to put up with the
embarrassment but not us!"
Sasha was puzzled. "Why will he beca laughing stock by driving to work?"
Helen glared at her and challenged, "Why do you think? He's just a live-in son-in-law but he drives a luxurious
car that is worth several million to work. What will that do to our reputation if the news got out? They will
assyou're smitten by Matthew and you would rather spend lavishly on a live-in son-in-law like him and get
him a luxurious car while the rest of your family are still traveling around by taxi. Sasha, you have to care about
our reputation even if you don't care about yours!"

Sasha really had no idea what to say. "Mom, I-I really cannot understand you. Matthew's car is a gift from Tiger;
how is it related to his identity as a live-in son-in-law? He earned that car with his own hard work!"
Helen sneered, "His own hard work? Who will know about that? People don't have a clue what he has done. All
they know is the fact that he is the live-in son-in-law of our family and they will assyou bought that car for
him. People will talk, Sasha!"
Sasha was about to argue when Matthew cut in, "Sasha, since the hospital is just nearby, it's fine forto get
there by motorbike."
Helen clapped her hands joyfully and remarked with a smile, "See how sensible Matthew is! Sasha, you really
should learn from him!"
Meanwhile, Sasha eyed Matthew with resignation because she knew he only chose to compromise so that she
would not be stuck in such a difficult spot.
In reality, that was only one of the reasons behind his decision. The other reason was he preferred to stay low-
key for the tbeing so that he could take his tto improve his medical skill.
