"No," he replied indifferently.

But her arrival had instantly dissipated the smile on Phoebe's face.

And on the other hand, even if the man said she wasn't disturbing them,

Erica still didn't know if it was appropriate for her to enter or not.

If she went inside, then she would feel a Little embarrassed since she had come in second.

But if she didn't go inside... From the very bottom of her heart, she didn't want Matthew to stay with Phoebe alone.

But Matthew made her struggle easy when he said, “Come in!"

“Okay!" ‘Huh! I have the surveillance video at the door as my proof! It was Matthew who asked me to come in. It wouldn't be my fault if the atmosphere ever became awkward!’ she thought happily in her mind.

And yet, her arrival didn't make Phoebe take her leave. She continued chatting with Matthew, ignoring his wife.

“They only have eyes for

Camille. I don't want to go back home anymore."

Matthew simply replied, "Then don't go back."

Erica thought to herself, ‘Wow, he spoils her that much?'

Phoebe still kept her eyes on the man and protested, “But now they have been coming to me recently. My mother has been trying very hard to persuade me. At the same time, my father's words are very unpleasant to hear. He blamed me, saying that I had hooked up with you and that I had abandoned my family. I really don't know what to do!" Her tone sounded very helpless.

Glancing at the girl who was playing with her phone on the sofa,

Matthew replied shortly, “Let me handle it.”

“Humph! He's indeed doting on Phoebe, ‘ Erica thought, angrily. She turned to catch a glimpse of the man, but she didn't expect to meet his eyes.

In order to hide her eavesdropping, Erica quickly looked away and tapped on a voice message her instructor had sent.

"We'll be checking the student dormitories tomorrow morning..."

Phoebe noticed what was going on between them, but she just ignored it and continued to complain, “Tessie has been in some financial troubles recently. Her money tends to run out faster than her time, and she comes to me to borrow some. How could the Campbell family have so many troubles?"

"Who did you say has financial troubles?" This time, it was Erica who had spoken up.

She had suddenly raised her voice and asked the woman standing in front of the French window.

Phoebe glanced at her indifferently and answered her question for

Matthew's sake, "I said Tessie!" Then she sneered, "Mrs. Erica, do you still remember once having a good relationship with Tessie?"

But then, her eyes happened to fall on the studs on Erica's earlobes.
