In the end, Matthew took a taxi back. When he reached home, James and Helen were sitting in the living room, as though they were waiting for him. “You’re finally back. What time is it now? Do you actually still care about the family?!” Helen reprimanded.

Matthew was left speechless. You were the one who stopped me from getting into the car earlier on, but now you’re complaining that I came back late! “It’s hard to get a taxi around Times Hotel. I only managed to get one after walking on foot for two miles—” Matthew tried to explain himself but Helen cut him off directly, “I don’t want to hear your explanation. Just admit that you’re poor and incompetent. Do you still need to get a taxi if you could afford yourself a car?”

Sasha couldn’t resist but defend Matthew, “Mom, it was you who snatched the car that Mr. Newman gave him as a gift…”

“Keep your mouth shut!” Helen snapped furiously. “Have I not made myself clear enough? That car belongs to us and it has nothing to do with him. Without the drug produced by our family, would Mr. Newman even know who he is?”

“Y-You’re ridiculous!” Sasha, who was annoyed, said crossly.

“How am I being ridiculous? Does any part of what I said not make sense?” Sasha was so incensed by her mother’s critiques that she stormed off back to her room. “It’s all your fault that Sasha is throwing a tantrum. Could you just stop creating trouble for us?!” Helen criticized Matthew angrily.

This time, Matthew was really left speechless. Sasha is clearly being angry with you and I wonder why am I to blame for that again?

“Forget it. I shouldn’t pin any hopes on a useless man like you!” Angrily, she demanded, “Now, go and remove that suit you are wearing because Liam is coming by later to take it.”

“Eh?” Matthew was taken aback by what she said. Didn’t she say she wanted to sell it off? Why is Liam coming to take it?

“Is there any problem with that? Liam is a businessman and it’s reasonable for him to wear premium clothing. Are you going to dress in this way to clean the toilet? What’s more, Liam always buys us presents every year. What about you? What have you done other than having your meals at home?”

“Mom, you’re so biased!” Sasha couldn’t help but stride out of the room and said, “This suit is a gift from Mr. Newman to Matthew…”

“I’m going to repeat this: all these things from Mr. Newman are supposed to belong to us and they have got nothing to do with Matthew. I have complete say in this and you have no right to interfere with my decision!”
