“How could she call Ethan an illegitimate child?' A burst of rage bubbled up in Erica's chest.
She turned around and glared at Phoebe.
"I don't deserve Matthew? What about you then? You're a married woman. It's not up to you to decide whether I deserve Matthew or not. ALL that matters is whether he and I are happy. I don't know why you've suddenly become so hostile to me, but whatever it is, you and I are complete strangers from now on. After this, if you keep appearing in front of me and speaking such nonsense,
I will show you what a troublemaker can really do.”
“Erica, you-"
“I what? Matthew really likes me. You don't have to worry about our business," Erica retorted, cutting her off. The way Phoebe kept bringing up Matthew was really getting on her nerves. If Phoebe wasn't married to Matthew's best friend, Erica would have suspected that she was in love with Matthew.
Phoebe took several deep breaths to calm down and said, "Matthew already has someone in his heart and he loves her deeply. You think he likes you? Don't flatter yourself!"
“So what if he has someone else in his heart? He married me in the end, didn't he?" Erica had never spoken so arrogantly to Phoebe before, but
Phoebe had never been this aggressive toward her either. Until recently, Phoebe had always been like a warm and kind sister to her.
But now, she was acting hostile as if Erica had personally wronged her.
Phoebe didn't know how to retort to Erica's question. In the end, she just said, “Remember, our Campbell family won't Let you off." Then, she turned around and left.
Erica sighed. She had been so happy just moments before, but this encounter with Phoebe had completely ruined her mood! She wanted to analyze the abnormal change in Phoebe's attitude toward her, but she couldn't ask Hyatt about it because he was even more stupid than she was. In the end, she decided to call Rhea.
After briefly explaining everything to her, Erica said in conclusion,
“I really don't understand why she was so hostile to me. Do you think that she is the goddess in Matthew's heart? Could it be possible that both of them Love each other, but since I'm the one who got married to
Matthew in the end, she's holding a grudge against me?"
Erica had racked her brains for an explanation but this was the only one she had come up with.
Rhea thought for a moment and said, “That's possible, but you're just grasping at straws here. There's no evidence for you to think that way.
Besides, Phoebe was married to Matthew's best friend. Erica, you shouldn't say such reckless things."
“I know that, but I really have a feeling that I'm right! Last night,
Matthew was drunk and tried to do something with me because he mistook me for another woman. I said Paige's name and he didn't stop. But then when I said Phoebe's name, he immediately stopped his advances." As she narrated the incident, Erica suddenly remembered how Matthew had called her “honey” at that time. His sweet voice had melted her heart then.
“If that's the case, then Well, it is too much of a coincidence."
‘The woman in Rika's husband's heart is the elder sister of Rika's best friend? That's really too dramatic!' Rhea sighed inwardly.
“But as you said, I don't have any evidence, so I can't be sure. Forget it! The point is, Phoebe was very rude to me today! She even called
Ethan an illegitimate child! She'll definitely regret this one day."
“Exactly! By the way, where's Hyatt? Is he with you now?" Rhea asked.
