Reacting fast, Liam quickly grabbed Demi and he whispered, âDemi, stop making trouble because we canât win against the Harrison Family. Letâs go home first!â
However, Demiâs face was full of unwillingness. She apologized and was even slapped a few times by Crystal. How could she be willing to go back like this? That being said, the Harrison Family might not agree to let her leave even if she wanted to.
âIâm afraid you canât leave!â Crystal announced coldly. âYour apology is not sincere enough and now that I think of it, I believe thereâs no need for us to reconcile. Grandpa, I want to call the police. I want to put her in jail!â
Mr. Harrison nodded calmly. âNo problem!â
Upon hearing that, Demi was dumbfounded. She had apologized and was even slapped four times.
How could they choose to forget about that?
âHey, d-donât keep pushing my buttons. I have already apologized so what more do you want? You canât go back on your word like that!â Demi argued anxiously.
However, Crystal only chuckled coldly. âHow can you call that an apology? Since you are not sincere, then thereâs no need for me to reconcile with you! Forget it. I donât want to waste time talking with someone like you who has no integrity. Get ready to go to jail!â
Seeing Mr. Harrison taking out his mobile phone, Helen quickly said, âMiss Harrison, I-I beg you.
Please give her a chance. Sheâs still young⦠I-If she goes to jail, her whole life will be ruined. H-How about I apologize to you? Iâm really sorryâ¦â
Crystal glanced at Helen in disdain. âThe person who slapped me should be the one apologizing! If your daughter is unwilling to apologize, then I will put her in jail! As for you, you are not qualified to speak here!â
Helen looked at Demi helplessly, knowing that Crystal was deliberately making things difficult for Demi.
Demiâs complexion flushed red. Finally, she gave in and said, âMiss Harrison, Iâm sorry. I know I was in the wrong. P-Please give me a chanceâ¦â
Demi was so frustrated as she was slapped four times and still had to apologize in the end. Truth was, she had never been embarrassed like this before. However, in front of the Harrison Family, she could only hold it in.
Crystal glanced at her and said coldly, âYouâre just a nobody. I canât be bothered with such an insignificant person like you. Youâd better take this as a lesson. Remember, the next time you see me, donât even think about doing anything to me. Otherwise, you wonât be so lucky again!â With that, Crystal waved her hand. âGet out!â
James and the others ran out from the Harrison Family compound in a panic. Demi was extremely furious, but in the end she dared not say anything. What happened this time made her fear Crystal deep down and she wouldnât dare to be disrespectful to her anymore.
In fact, this matter was not significant enough for the Harrison Family to deal with them. This time, Crystal actually wanted to vent her frustration for Matthewâs sake. She felt that Matthew was too tolerant to the Cunningham Family, so she took this opportunity to teach the Cunningham Family a lesson.
Of course, James and the others would never expect that Crystal avenging Matthew was the reason.
When they walked out of the Harrison Residence, they were all rejoicing at the fact that Crystal chose not to pursue the matter further. Otherwise, they would surely run into trouble.
âNo matter what, the matter is finally resolved. Demi, you should forget about this. Take this incident as a lesson and you should never hit others at will again,â Helen gave a heartfelt piece of advice.
Demiâs face turned pale. She was very furious, but she was powerless to do anything.
âDad, what about the construction company? Are we really going to let Matthew be in charge of it?
Thatâs a billion-dollar business; it canât be handed over to Matthew!â Demi murmured in a low voice.
James waved his hand. âStop talking about this. Iâve decided that Iâll let Matthew be in charge of the construction company. Letâs not get into trouble anymore because I really canât afford to get into any trouble again.â
