"You can't afford to lose, can you? Does it matter when he arrived? What matters is that he's here! Right here, right now! So, are you going to honor our bet? If not, then it's no more Mrs. Nice Guy." Erica put away her phone and started rubbing her hands, ready to fight.

Reese had stopped paying attention to her and took a few steps towards

Matthew. She cleared her throat and gave Matthew the sweetest smile she had. In a soft voice, she asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Matthew, when did you get here?"

Erica was astonished. She had never thought that Reese had the guts to seek confirmation from Matthew. ‘I'm so screwed!

What should I do? Oh, wait. I've got it!’ After a brainstorm, she secretly reached out two fingers and made a gesture of the number "11" in front of her chest.

She wondered if Matthew would play along with her.

Matthew glanced at the two girls, and finally looked at Reese. His eyes grew colder.

"What makes you think I would tell you anything about my schedule?"

His cold tone sent a chill down Reese's spine.

"I'm sorry, Mr.

Matthew," she apologized, her face pale.

“Since you are my wife's schoolmate, I won't bother with it this time.

I got here at 11 this morning. What's the matter?"

“No, no. Nothing..." Reese had embarrassed herself. In her mind, she cursed those people who spread the rumor that Matthew hadn't come back to the Leonard family together with Erica. She then took out her phone to transfer the money to Erica.

Erica was totally incredulous. Matthew cooperated with her and lied to

Reese for her. He wasn't just a good guy. He was an awesome one.

When she completed the transfer, Reese bit her lower Lip and told

Erica, "I've wired you the money. A hundred grand."

When she was about to leave, Matthew suddenly stopped her.

"Wait a minute!"

ALL eyes were on him.

He asked, "What was the bet?"

Everyone looked at each other after hearing what he said. No one dared say a word.

Even Erica was quiet. And it wasn't because she was afraid. It was because she was embarrassed.

After a significant pregnant pause, no one answered him. With a livid face, Matthew ordered, “Tell me!"
