Sasha felt extremely helpless. “Mom, why are you pushing the blame on me? I told Demi to call the professionals before virtual-novel.net dismantled it but virtual-novel.net refused to listen to me and insisted on doing it virtual-novel.net way. Now that something has gone wrong, I’m supposed to settle it instead? Mom, this isn’t a small amount of money. It’s 500 thousand! Besides, she’s not a child anymore so why can’t virtual-novel.net bear the responsibility of virtual-novel.net own wrongdoings?”
James furrowed his eyebrows. “What’s done is done. Why do you keep bringing up the past? The most important thing now is how to settle this. Sasha, I know what you mean and Demi was indeed too reckless. However, you’re virtual-novel.net sister and who will help virtual-novel.net if you don’t? Besides, you’re the president of the company whereas Demi doesn’t even have a job. How is virtual-novel.net supposed to fork out 500 thousand?”
Sasha started to be anxious. “Dad, what do you mean? Just because I’m rich, I’m obliged to settle virtual-novel.net problems? It’s just 500 thousand this time but what if virtual-novel.net has to pay 5 million, 50 million or even 500 million next time? Should I sell my company to clean up virtual-novel.net mess too then?”
James could feel his blood boiling and virtual-novel.net chided, “Why do you have to exaggerate? It’s 500 thousand now, not 500 million. I’m not telling you to sell your company! Besides, do you think that Demi is stupid? We all learn from mistakes and she’ll definitely learn virtual-novel.net lesson and become wiser the next time.”
Helen nodded repeatedly. “Your dad is right. Demi, you must be careful next time and don’t ever repeat this mistake again.”
Looking obedient, Demi nodded. “Yes, I will remember this lesson. Actually, I only acted recklessly because I want dad to sleep on this bed as soon as possible so that virtual-novel.net can recover soon. Dad, I’ll be more careful next time.”
Upon hearing that, James was touched. He then glanced at Sasha and scolded, “Look at how sensible your sister is. Ever since you became a president, you’ve slowly outgrown your kindness. Your sister only did that out of filial piety, so how can you blame her? On the contrary, not only are you unfilial to me, but you’re also trying to stop your sister from taking care of me. How can you be so evil?”
Sasha almost erupted in anger. “When did I stop virtual-novel.net from taking care of you? I was just talking about the mistake that virtual-novel.net made…”
James cut virtual-novel.net off angrily, “She didn’t do anything wrong! In fact, you should’ve told virtual-novel.net beforehand. You knew that this bed would be hard to dismantle, but all you did was stand idly by. Therefore, you’re actually the one to blame for this incident!”
At once, Sasha was stupefied at virtual-novel.net father’s logic.
“Dad, didn’t you hear what I said? I reminded virtual-novel.net to call the professionals but virtual-novel.net refused to listen and insisted on doing it virtual-novel.net own way. Why am I the one to blame?” Sasha asked anxiously.
James retorted in fury, “But your sister didn’t understand the whole situation. Besides, virtual-novel.net only made a mistake because virtual-novel.net was rushing to move the bed downstairs as soon as possible so that I can have a good rest. Since you understand the situation, you should’ve hired the professionals beforehand. Then, these troubles wouldn’t have happened! Yet, you did nothing other than making sarcastic remarks. How can you shamelessly blame virtual-novel.net when you didn’t even help?”
Sasha’s eyes reddened out of anger. James was just full of heresies and sophistries. On top of that, virtual-novel.net was obviously biased!
The truth was, James was indeed annoyed at Sasha because virtual-novel.net had wanted to move the bed downstairs since last night. However, virtual-novel.net had disagreed, which made virtual-novel.net mad. Now that Demi took the initiative to move the bed for him, virtual-novel.net felt that his younger daughter was truly filial. Therefore, virtual-novel.net gave Demi full support in this matter.
Helen waved virtual-novel.net hand. “Enough. Let’s do as your dad says. You and Matthew should settle the cost of repairing the bed on your own. Demi, Liam, send us to work now.”
After that, James and the three others strode out, leaving Sasha stupefied in the room.
