Casey was so enraged by what Demi said that he nearly blew his top. “That’s b*llshit! When did I take
your money? How dare you accuse me! Call the police now! I’m going to sue them!” he yelled harshly.
At this juncture, Casey would never admit to taking the bribe.
After all, what he had received from Liam was all in cash. No one witnessed how he had taken it, and he
had already taken care of the money.
Without any proof, no one could do anything to him!
Deep down inside, however, Casey developed a deep resentment toward Liam.
That b*stard backstabbed me after pretending to offer me money to get things done. He wanted to
sabotage me!
Demi only knew that Liam had given money to an assistant director named Casey, but she couldn’t
recognize the man.
So, she was rattled when she heard Casey’s threat.
However, it took her only a short time to regain her composure. “What’s going on? You have the guts to
take the bribe, but you aren’t brave enough to admit taking it? You accepted the money quite happily
when my husband offered it to you! Can you still consider yourself a man by trying to deny it now?”
Casey was livid. “B*tch, how dare you frame me? Do you have any evidence that can prove that I
accepted money from you? If you can’t show me anything, I’ll sue you for defamation!”
Demi looked stunned. There was no way she could find any evidence.
Her expression boosted Casey’s confidence because he knew she did not have anything on him.
Casey shouted at the top of his lungs, “You don’t have anything, do you? Hmph, how dare you defame
me in public without having any evidence! Do you think all of us at the hospital are just a bunch of
pushovers? Sir, you have to do something about it!”
With a deep frown on his forehead, the director snapped in an icy voice, “This is outrageous! Do all of
you think you can just come here and humiliate our medical personnel? Someone call the police right
this instant!”
Demi and her parents panicked. They would get in big trouble if the police got involved.
They quickly fled the scene, not daring to linger at the hospital any longer.
As they just reached the hospital’s entrance, they saw Liam headed their way.
“Dad, Mom, what happened? I tried calling Casey but he didn’t pick up my calls. Did you manage to get
the card?” Liam asked anxiously.
Demi angrily gave him the rundown on what had taken place just now.
Liam was infuriated after listening to Demi. “Is there something wrong with Matthew? That money doesn’t
belong to him alone. What gives him the right to give it all to the Grahams? No way, he has to get the
money back from them!”
Demi dismissed him with a wave of her hand. “That’s enough, there’s no point in talking about this now.
By the way, who’s that Casey guy that you contacted? Not only did he not help us, he even wanted to
call the police and get us arrested!”
Liam was stunned to hear that. “Are you sure? But he took the money. Even if he refuses to help us, I
don’t think he will betray us. What on earth has happened?”
Looking slightly embarrassed, Demi kept her mouth shut.
Liam only managed to get to the bottom of it after pestering Demi for a long while. He went speechless
once he realized what had taken place.
“Demi, h-how do you expect him to help you? His identity was exposed when you told everyone that he
took our money! Anyone in his position would have done the same!” Liam said helplessly.
Even so, Demi was reluctant to accept her mistake. “But there was nothing wrong with what I said! He
did take our money, didn’t he? Since he had the guts to take our money, why wasn’t he brave enough to
admit it?”
Liam was having difficulty coming up with anything to say. How was he going to reason with someone so
unreasonable?
James waved at them and said, “Forget it, there’s no point in discussing any of this! I think Liam is right—
we have to get Matthew to take the money back from the Grahams!”
Helen challenged, “Have you lost your mind? How is he going to take the money back? If somebody
were to give you 300 million, would you return it?”
James answered her, “Why is it impossible? Only a part of that money belongs to Matthew. He gets 10
million at most. The rest is ours.
Even if he wanted to compensate the Grahams, he should just use his share. What gives him the right to
deal with the rest of the money which belongs to us?
It’s illegal for him to misuse money which doesn’t belong to him! If the Grahams refuse to return the
money to us, we’ll sue them and protect our rights using legal means!”
