Matthew was able to protect himself, but his pregnant wife was not.

Not only was she pregnant, but she also couldn't fight. In the past, she had relied on fleet feet whenever something went south, but the pregnancy put a kibosh on that. She couldn't run too quickly with twins in her belly. And she wouldn't want to.

“I know." Matthew nodded. His wife's safety was the most important thing.

She'd been pretty on edge Lately. And without much of a reason, either.

She was the one being mischievous.

People said that pregnant women were easy to upset. That turned out to be true.

The next morning, Erica went to school. As soon as Matthew left the manor, she did too. Debbie went with her.

After the second afternoon class, Erica looked back at the bodyguard following her. She was quite glum. The only reason she left the house was for classes, but this person just kept following her. She felt Like she had no freedom at all.

“Erica, it's her. She's already there," said Hyatt, pointing at the garden.

Erica came to her senses and looked in the direction he pointed. A girl with long hair stood in the garden, playing with her phone, her head down.

She had borrowed some money from Hyatt, but was Long overdue paying it back. It had been some months now.

“Let's go!" Erica quickened her pace.

But Hyatt grabbed her arm. She looked back at him in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"

Embarrassed, Hyatt scratched the back of his head and stammered, "Be gentle with her, okay? I'm serious.

Don't spook her too much." ‘What does he think I'm going to do? Hurt her or something?' Erica rolled her eyes, raised her hand and slapped on the back of his head.

"Dude! She cheated you out of your money! At least let me Lean on her a bit!"

Hyatt was rendered speechless. He had no choice but to follow Erica.

The two stopped near the girl. She looked up and was stunned when she saw Erica.

Hyatt introduced them in a quiet voice, "Erica, this is Pansy. Pansy, th-this is...my good friend, Erica."

When Hyatt introduced Pansy to Erica, he spoke fluently. As soon as he spoke to Pansy, he stammered and his face turned red.

Erica had always been polite before resorting to force. She smiled at the pretty girl and said, "Hello!"

If Pansy hadn't borrowed the money and refused to pay it back, Erica would have tried to hook them up.

Almost every student in this school knew Erica. Outside of being Mrs.

Hilton, she had a reputation for being a hard ass. No one would mess with her.

So when she saw Erica, her smile froze on her face. Actually, she had no intention of paying Hyatt back. She wanted to keep the money for herself.
