Meanwhile, James and Helen were pacing anxiously in the living room at the Cunningham residence.

“We only nagged her a little but why is she so angry that she won’t even pick up the phone? James, is it possible that something happened to her?” Helen asked worriedly. She had made a dozen calls to Demi but she didn’t answer any of them.

Frustrated, James yelled, “Ignore her! I’m her father so I’m only fulfilling my responsibility when I nagged her. How dare she hold a grudge against me?”

Helen glared at him angrily. “Stop saying nonsense. What good can come out from fighting with your children? You’re the elderly, so why can’t you just forgive her? Forget it, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Sasha, drive us to Demi’s house later so we can see if she’s okay!”

Sasha shook her head. “Mom, I’m waiting for news about Matthew. I’ll take you there once I receive news from him, okay?”

Helen was infuriated. “Why do you want to waste time waiting? You already know the results so there is no need to wait. I can directly tell you the result. Matthew will definitely lose. Furthermore, this time, he will lose tens of billions. It’s hard to say if he’ll even come back alive! Stop waiting for him!”

Hearing this, Sasha was furious. “Mom, how can you say that? Has Matthew ever offended you? How can you curse him?”

Helen sneered, “I’m not cursing him, I’m just stating the facts. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your father whether there is any hope for Matthew.”

James pursed his lips and said, “There’s no need to ask me. Anyone in their right mind knows that Matthew is hopeless.”
