“Old Mrs. Graham wasn’t home today, so I haven’t gone there yet,” Matthew said, simply fabricating an
excuse.
Even though they seemed unhappy about it, there was nothing else they could say. The moment they
stepped into the building, Helen straight away started, “Sasha, you’ll really have to thank your brother-in-
law this time!”
Sasha knitted her brows, puzzled. “Thank him for what?”
“He has settled the situation at the site of the new factory for you,” she replied with a grin. “The one
leading the group there is called Jacob Lawrence, an old friend of Liam’s and they’re on good terms.
With just one word from Liam, the situation was settled and he’s attending to him now! He said that
these all would come to a rest if we buy him dinner tomorrow night!”
Matthew was surprised that Liam could settle the situation. According to his sources, it was indeed the
Hughes who was the one behind it, causing all the trouble. So how did Liam settle it?
“Really?” Sasha exclaimed, startled.
With a smug look on her face, Demi replied, “Of course! With such a small issue, it was an easy catch
with my husband at the scene! Do you think he is a wimp like Matthew?”
Sasha couldn’t help but feel startled at how blatant Demi was at mocking Matthew. “Demi, mind your
words! What’s wrong with Matthew?
He was also very worried about the family and already sent Tiger to find out about the situation. It’s just
that he didn’t manage to handle it in time!”
Snorting, Demi scoffed, “Tiger? Hmph, Matthew, did you get your head foolishly nipped by the doors?
Why are you sending Tiger? Don’t you know who the other party is? They’re a group of local thugs who
gets into fights and commits all sorts of crimes on a daily basis.
Tiger looks big and thick, but you can’t settle this kind of situation with looks alone. Could he be
compared with Liam? Did you say you wanted to let Tiger handle the situation? I think he’s just making
an embarrassment out of himself!”
James and Helen also had disdainful looks on their faces. The way they looked at it, Tiger was just
Julian’s friend without any capabilities and was only relying on the herbary to make a living.
“Demi, you better watch your tongue!” Matthew warned with a frown. “If Tiger had heard what you just
said, he wouldn’t show you any mercy!”
“So what if he heard me?” she snorted. “Even if he’s standing right in front of me, I would still say it the
way I did. Do you think that I’m afraid of him when you say he won’t show me any mercy? Hmph, he has
to get past my husband first!”
Matthew couldn’t be bothered with her; Demi was just saying things recklessly and had no idea what she
was doing at all.
“That’s enough, Demi. Say no more,” Helen persuaded, still with a smile on her face. “Sasha, thankfully
Liam was there to handle the situation this time. How about this?
I’ll look for a restaurant and arrange for dinner tomorrow night to buy them a meal. Liam has made a
great contribution by resolving this issue! Why don’t you put him in charge of the construction site after
this?”
Simultaneously, Sasha and Matthew knitted their brows together in concern. They both knew Liam’s
character quite well; he was a greedy person who would try to scrape off as much money as he could
once he was given the power.
“Mom, we’ll talk about this later. Let’s settle the issue with the new factory and let the construction
resume at the site,” Sasha replied.
This made Demi very unhappy as she scorned, “Why are you putting this off to later? We’re a family and
you can answer directly.
Are you going to let Liam be in charge of the construction site or not? Just tell me straight away if you’re
unwilling, and don’t put up a false pretense here!”
Sasha was in an extremely awkward position now. She couldn’t offend them now that Liam had helped to
resolve the situation. However, if she were to send Liam to the site, the losses might be even higher than
expected.
