The maid sobbed the moment the call was connected.

“Erica, they found out. They knew I let you in. Now they are going to run me in for attempted murder. What should I do?" Her words devolved into sobs.

“The snake wasn't poisonous, right? What makes it attempted murder?"

Erica was very angry.

The maid answered in a choked voice, "Fanya said that Phoebe was so weak that she was almost scared to death by the snake, so it was attempted murder..."

“ALL right, all right. Tell the Campbell family that I did this, and it has nothing to do with you. Let them come to me if there is something wrong with Phoebe!" Erica's words were steady; she'd mentally prepared herself for this.

“Okay. Thank you, Erica!" Shuddering in relief, the maid thought,

‘Erica is really a good person. She always keeps her word!’

In the meeting room of Hilton Group

Paige followed Matthew into the meeting room, where they found Lyman,

Fanya and Phoebe waiting. Standing in the corner like a human statue was a lone security guard, gripping a box in his hands.

Murmured greetings were exchanged, and everyone sat down except for the guard.

Smiling perfunctorily, Fanya asked, "Matthew, hasn't Erica arrived yet?"

Matthew had a look at his watch, then answered, "My wife is busy. When

I called her, she was still taking photos in the suburbs.

I imagine she's just gotten into the city at this time." This came as an unpleasant surprise to the Campbell family. They had already been waiting for more than ten minutes.

Now Matthew told them that Erica had only just entered the city itself?

It would take her at least another half-hour to get to the Hilton

Group!

Despite her best efforts, Fanya's smile evaporated.

“Matthew, I don't need to tell you how precious our time is. It will take half an hour for Erica to arrive. What are we going to do until then-nothing? I don't think this is appropriate."

Matthew leaned back in his chair and played with the diamond ring on his ring finger. As usual, his whole manner was relaxed and emotionless.

“Why is it not appropriate? I came here ahead of time, didn't I? I'm waiting here, just like you. My time is more valuable than yours. So, Fanya, is there anything you are not satisfied with?"

Fanya was left speechless. She was perfectly aware of the reality behind Matthew's words. The man could make tens of billions of dollars in a minute, while the Campbell family could make at most hundreds of millions in the same time.

So, of course, Matthew's time was quite literally worth more than theirs.
