Chapter 940
Chapter 940 They Just Don't Have the Money
Helen was so mad that she had no words to say as she swung her hands helplessly.
At the side, Norman nodded and added, "I think Uncle Hector is right. This is just my two cents, Helen. Tate is
your nephew. Are you really going to ignore this issue as his aunt? It's just twenty-three million, an amount that
is nothing to your family! Why don't you cup with this money and clear the mess in front of us first? We
can't let Tate go to jail!"
Everyone nodded, and a chatter broke out as they tried to convince Helen to fork out the money.
Even though James was still gritting his teeth, he finally relaxed his fists. Actually, he was close to flipping the
table a few seconds ago.

"I don't agree with you, Uncle Norman," Demi said, infuriated. "Why should we pay for the compensation when
it's his family's problem? It doesn't make sense at all!"
"How could you say something like that, Demi?" Norman asked with a frown. "That's because they can't afford to
pay for it. Do you think they'll ask for your help if they can afford it themselves?" "So we'll have to pay for it just
because they can't? That's unreasonable!"
"We're a family. Shouldn't you help out your aunt when her family is in trouble? The issue this tis very
serious, and Tate will go to jail if we don't pay the compensation fees. Do you really want to see him go to jail?"
"Hmph!" Paula snorted. "I can't believe you claimed that you're the closest sisters. So much for that! If it weren't
for Chloe's financial support back then, I think you guys would have starved to death a long tago. None of
you would have made it until this day. Now that you're rich, you look down on others and bite the hand that fed
you!"
"Then... Then why aren't you guys helping out? As you said that we're a family, we're all equally close to each
other!" Demi spat.
Paula chortled and replied, "We aren't that capable; that's why. Do you think we have twenty-three million?
Unlike us, this little amount of money is nothing to you, and it's just your spare cash! If the amount is only
hundreds of thousands, they wouldn't have needed your help, and we could have helped them out ourselves. Am
I right, everyone?"
The others followed suit, saying that they would be willing to help out if the amount was small, which made Demi
so angry that she was at a loss for words.
At this point, Matthew suddenly said, "At the end of the day, the main problem is the high compensation fees,
huh? If the compensation fees are smaller, | think everyone would be willing to help, actually. Mom, Dad, why
don't we take care of this twenty-three million?"
A smile broke out on Paula's face. "Yes, you got it right! There's still a reasonable person in your family after all!
You're unexpectedly sensible, Matthew."

Simultaneously, James, Helen and Demi glared at him, wondering what he was planning to do by speaking up for
the other side now. Even Sasha was equally confused, for she didn't know what he meant either. All of them
wanted to ask him, but Matthew stopped them by giving them a look.
Just then, the door suddenly swung open and Bonds burst into the room in a huff with a group of men.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and Norman muttered, "What are you doing? You must have walked into the
wrong room—"
Without waiting for him to finish, Bonds grabbed him from the back of his neck and pressed him on the table.
"This is none of your business. Shut up!"
The men around Bonds glared fiercely at Norman, and he immediately shut his mouth, too afraid to say another
word.
After glancing at Chloe, Bonds asked, "You're Tate's mother, aren't you? Your son hitwith a car last time. Let's
settle this issue now, shall we?"
