The young man asked with a murderous chill in his voice, “What do you think I should do to your daughter?"

“Well, since Tessie is guilty, you have every right to deal with her as you see fit. I won't get in your way, Mr. Matthew." Lyman cared only about saving his own neck. The disgraced man was mainly worried about whether Tessie's actions would get him into trouble with Matthew.

Tessie, somewhat knew her father to be a heartless man who cared for nothing else in the world apart from himself, but when she heard those words come out of his mouth, she burst into tears.

Why? Why was she born into such a family? No wonder Tessie fostered so much hatred and jealousy in her heart for Erica and even her own sister, Camille.

Meanwhile, afraid that Tessie would implicate her too, Phoebe stood there frozen, wishing she could vanish into thin air.

Like everybody else, she only found out today that the illegitimate child she had cursed turned out to be Tessie's child with another man.

A blush of embarrassment heated Phoebe's cheeks and she looked down to avert Erica's eyes.

On the other hand, Camille, the Campbell family's eldest daughter, remained seated next to Fanya, staring at the arrogant and powerful man on the sofa.

"Phoebe is such an idiot. Even if she Listened to Matthew and married

Nathan, she still didn't get any benefit from Matthew. In the end, the man she loved so much ended up getting married to another woman. Why do

I have two stupid sisters?’ Camille sneered in her mind.

“Okay, Mr. Lyman." Matthew shifted his gaze to Lenora, whose face had been beaten to a pulp by Julianna, and asked, “Who invited my wife to the No. Eighteen Primary School yesterday?" There was no emotion in his voice.

Lenora wasted no time and pointed at the girl beside her.

“It was

Julianna's idea!"

Julianna was afraid of what Matthew would do to her. Immediately, she denied, "It wasn't me. Tessie gave me the idea!"

Tessie's eyes widened in shock.

"No, she said she wanted to teach Erica a lesson." Then she turned to Phoebe for help. Her eyes reddened and wavering in desperation, lips parted slightly.

Phoebe, however, turned her away with a harsh glare.

Tessie knew then that Phoebe wouldn't help her anymore.

Matthew sat there holding hands with Erica, clearly unimpressed at the way the three girls were passing the buck to evade responsibility.

“In that case, both the Watts family and Campbell family must formally apologize to my wife!"

Even before Matthew and Erica had arrived, Lenora and Julianna had already slapped each other a few times. Sensing mercy in Matthew's tone, Lenora acted quickly and scurried to Erica.

"Mrs. Hilton, I am terribly sorry for what happened. I shouldn't have done that to you

Please forgive me! Please?"
