“Although he doesn't love her, he is protecting her instead of me! Dad, can you help me? Boo...hoo... I have no choice but to ask for your help." Gifford was useless. Matthew had fooled him so easily that it had ruined

Erica's plans. Now, she was desperate to find another way to deal with

Phoebe.

“What happened? Tell me everything. I'll teach Matthew a lesson right away!" Carlos assured.

Erica's fear-filled gaze was pinned on Matthew with every sentence she spoke, just Like a poor wife who was afraid that her husband would beat her.

"I'm going to sue Mistress Phoebe. Oh, no, it's Phoebe Campbell.

I'm protecting the portraiture right for Matthew, but he has the case held off. The court date has been decided, but now the trial can't be held. Dad, it's not a big deal for me to lose face. But, I can‘t eat or sleep well every day because of this matter. I feel that the babies in my belly are protesting..."

‘The babies are protesting? This is disconcerting!’ Carlos thought. On impulse, he searched the nearby table for something heavy. As soon as he spotted an ashtray, he grabbed it and raised it, as though he was going to throw it at his son.

Erica was so terrified that she grabbed his hand immediately.

“Dad, it's not that serious. Don't be angry. Calm down..." she coaxed.

Debbie was also furious by what she had heard and felt that Matthew was wrong. But she didn't think that throwing the ashtray at him was a good idea. So, she and Erica took the ashtray from Carlos’ hand. Then, to settle her husband's temper, she said, "If you hit him with the ashtray, you will have to take him to the hospital. Can you carry him?"

Carlos glared at his son, who, to his detriment, chose to remain silent.

"You'd better give me an explanation! And it better be a good one."

Matthew shifted his gaze from the “uneasy” pregnant woman and pinned it at his father calmly.

"Dad, do you know that she went to ask the youngest son of Champion Group's CEO for help and that their lawyer is helping her deal with the case?"

He had been unimaginably offended when he learned that his wife had sought another man's help. He believed that Carlos, being a proud man as well, would understand his feelings.

But, he was wrong.

What value did his feelings have in comparison to Erica and her babies' well-being? "That must be because you didn't give Rika a sense of security. You should reflect on why she asked for someone else's help after the incident happened!"

His wife had asked another man for help. Carlos felt that Erica's actions reflected poorly on Matthew, not the other way around. How could his son not be ashamed? After all, he had money and power. What was preventing him from helping his wife? And if that wasn't bad enough, he even went against Erica!

Matthew knew that no matter what he did or said, his parents would side with his wife. He didn't want to talk to Carlos anymore. So, he faced his wife and said, "You should reflect on yourself. Call me after you figure out why I'm holding off the case."

Now that things had come to this, she had tried to manipulate Gifford and Carlos into helping her. Not once did she ask him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Erica was so depressed.

"I. that he is on Phoebe's side?’

‘Could there be any other reason except

Did she make a mistake by going to Watkins for help? Matthew was unwilling to help her, even now. Did she expect him to help her at the beginning?
