Phoebe swallowed nervously before asking, "Why do you trust her so much?" Almost as soon as the words left her mouth, she winced. No matter how hard she tried, she hadn't been able to hide the tremble in her voice.

“Rika is naughty, but she is not malicious by nature. If you provoke her, she will come up with a thousand unpleasant ways to deal with you.

The snake and the Spina Gleditsiae incidents were the examples.

However, she would never kill anyone, let alone an innocent baby!"

Tessie had made Erica suffered a lot back then. When he sent Tessie to the slum, softhearted Erica had asked him to be merciful.

Even though she put a snake on Phoebe's bed, she had searched the pet market for a non-poisonous one and ensured that its fangs had been treated.

How could such a person kill a baby?

Phoebe remained unmoved and unconvinced. She bit her lower lip, and after a moment of silence, she argued, "What if she were careless? Like she pushed me down by accident?”

“Huh?" the man sneered.

"By accident? In my eyes, she is innocent even if she did it on purpose, let alone by accident."

Phoebe clenched her fists. She had been so consumed by rage and envy that she had forgotten about her injury. She winced as her nails dug into her injured palm. Her face paled, and she was forced to release her fist.

Matthew grabbed the examination report on the table and tore the paper from the middle.

“If you want to sue her, be quick. Eventually, you will be of no use to me. When that day arrives, you will lose your chance to sue her."

There would be no chance... Phoebe’s eyes searched Matthew's face as she asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do to me?"

“What do I want?" After throwing the pieces of paper into the trash can, he ruthlessly pronounced, “From the day you killed my friend's unborn child, you were already on your way to the slum. If you behave well before I send you there, maybe I will let Tessie be your company.

If you continue to be stubborn and hurt Erica again, I will ensure that it isn't Tessie, but a beast, or something more terrible than a beast who will accompany you."

Phoebe's legs weakened, and her body shook. She grabbed the desk to steady herself but found that she was unable to stand firm.

She finally realized how much a man Like Matthew could spoil a woman as long as he Loved her.

He spoiled Erica without a care in the world.

Phoebe's envy toward Erica grew by Leaps and bounds. There was no doubt left in her mind that Erica was the woman in Matthew's heart.

But Erica was stupid. Even though she was the woman Matthew loved, she was ignorant of it and continued her efforts to find out who he loved.

Matthew ignored Phoebe's pallid complexion, and continued, "Aren't you going to sue her? Please go ahead. I'll play the game with you to the end." It was yet to be seen who would end up in jail.

After saying that, he called Owen through the internal line.

He ordered, “See the guest out!"

Ten days passed as Erica waited for news from Phoebe. But as yet, her love rival didn't show up to get back at her.
