“What?” James and the rest exclaimed in unison.

Did they really compensate them with 300 million?

They then made it back to their car in a state of confusion. Just as Matthew was about to get into the car, Demi asked, “Matthew, what’re you doing? This car is a five-seater, and we happen to have five people here. Can’t you understand what this means?”

Before, it would have been fine for Demi to make such a statement.

But this time, James was annoyed as soon as she said that. “Shut up! You and Liam should go back home by yourselves. Matthew, please drive us back home tonight!”

Demi was baffled by her father’s behavior.

Looking puzzled, Helen grabbed onto James’ arm. Just as she was about to say something, he raised three fingers in a hand gesture.

Helen was stunned for a moment before it suddenly dawned upon her.

300 million in compensation!

Helen quickly chimed in, “Your Dad is right! Demi, since you’ve already gotten married, you shouldn’t keep asking us for help! Well, we’re heading home first. The two of you should settle it among yourselves!”

 

The four of them then departed in the car, leaving Demi standing rooted to the spot, a blank look on her face.

“Dear, what’s wrong with Dad and Mom?”

Liam sighed, resignation written all over his face. “Can’t you tell? They must be eyeing the 300 million that Matthew has.”

Demi looked stunned all of a sudden, realizing that Matthew had now become a changed man.
