“Okay, thank you!" Erica felt very Lucky that she had Watkins as her friend in Alorith.

Now with his help, she could sue Phoebe without Matthew's knowledge.

After he hung up, Watkins threw the phone aside and urged, “Let's hurry up."

Hearing this, the woman pursed her red Lips and asked with a hint of irony, “What's wrong?"

“Nothing. I'm just bored." They went back to having sex until Watkins finished up a few minutes later.

In the evening, Erica got a message from Watkins saying, “Now I know why. Erica, someone is indeed holding off the case."

“Who?

“Well, it's your husband."

Erica was shocked. 'So Matthew knows! When did he find out? How come I didn't know that he knows?' "Why is he trying to hold off this case?" she asked.

Watkins sent her a worried emoji, and replied, “You should ask Matthew yourself. Maybe it's because Phoebe used to be the wife of a good friend of his. Anyway, I think you two should talk clearly about this matter.”

Erica's heart sank. She hadn't asked for Matthew's help because she was afraid that he would show compassion towards Phoebe.

However, despite all the trouble that she went to keep her plans from him, he still managed to find everything out and interfere with the case anyway.

It's common knowledge that because of all the increasing hormones in their bodies, pregnant women can become quite sensitive.

Erica was no exception to that. With the phone still in her hand, all sorts of hurtful and enraged thoughts came through her mind. Even though she tried to calm herself down, it had no use.

Eventually, she couldn't hold it anymore and called Matthew.

"Matthew, what do you mean by interfering in Phoebe’s case?" she inquired coldly.

Matthew froze for a moment. He was at an emergency meeting when she called, but due to the sensitivity of the matter, he immediately sought out the exit and walked away from the room with his phone before he answered her, “Rika, I thought you knew the reason why."

“What do you mean? Are you trying to protect her against me?" Thinking about this possibility, Erica got so angry that her mind went blank for a whole minute.

Matthew took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Despite his anger, he kept reminding himself that he needed to comfort her first.

"Relax.

Don't get too emotional..." He knew that pregnant women shouldn't get too anxious.

“How can I not get emotional?" she yelled. ‘He's just a liar. Didn't he fall out of love with Phoebe? Why is he protecting her in such a big deal?’ she thought furiously.

“Why didn't you come to me for help to begin with?" he asked. Since she wanted to sue Phoebe, she should have come to him instead of seeking another man's help.

“Why should I've come to you?" Erica believed that if she had asked for

Matthew's help, she wouldn't even have found a lawyer yet.
