But please, let me explain everything to you. I actually made that sketch a long time ago when Nathan was still alive. I sketched both of your portraits just for fun. But when Nathan passed away, I decided to keep his portrait in my room as a souvenir. As for your portrait... the organizer displayed it during my last art exhibit. I didn't intend to violate your right to that portrait. I didn't mean to invade your privacy. Please convince Erica to withdraw the lawsuit."

Phoebe had already received two summons from the court. If she still didn't respond, the court would directly have a verdict.

“I didn't know that Erica sued Phoebe just to protect my right to that portrait, ' he thought.

Now he knew why one night, she secretly held his finger and pressed it on a few documents. He had never thought that she had filed a lawsuit.

"Do you really expect me to help you?" he asked coldly.

This time, it was Phoebe who fell silent. Then after a while, she begged in a low voice, “For the last time, Matthew. For the sake of

Nathan, please ask Erica to withdraw the lawsuit. I promise that I will never do something to provoke her again.”

He had no time to argue with her, as he also had a lot of questions in his mind. To end their conversation, he simply replied, “Just go through the Legal proceedings."

Then he hung up.

Phoebe tried to call him again twice, but he didn't answer anymore.

He immediately called Owen and instructed, "Investigate the Lawsuit that Erica has filed. Know who her lawyer is and how she'd met him.

Report to me every detail of the case." Although his voice was low, it was full of coldness. Knowing Erica, he knew that she wouldn't be able to sue Phoebe without someone else's help.

But it was impossible that she got help from any of the Leonard family members. Wesley would have definitely told him about it.

Since Wesley had never mentioned this matter to him, he was sure that the Leonard family members didn't know what Erica did.

"Yes, Matthew."

As soon as he hung up, Owen moved quickly. As a result, he had accomplished the mission in the afternoon. He handed all the documents he gathered to Matthew.

Inside his office, Matthew was staring at the pile of documents in front of him with a frown while Listening to Owen's report.

“Erica's lawyer is Kelvin Adams. He is the legal advisor of the

Champion Group. Based on what I've found, he put aside all his work to focus only on Erica's case."

The fury in Matthew's eyes deepened. The moment Owen mentioned the

Champion Group, he immediately threw the documents on his desk angrily.

Owen abruptly stopped talking. He took a deep breath to alleviate the nervousness in his heart before he continued, “I've also consulted with the Lawyer of our company. He said that if a wife files a Lawsuit on behalf of her husband, the husband's signature is still necessary.

Matthew, don't you know about the case?" In his mind, he couldn't help wondering, 'Did Erica ask someone to forge Matthew's signature?'

Everything was now clear to Matthew why Erica asked for his seal and pressed his finger on the papers.

But that was not the reason why he was angry. He was mad that she asked
