She gritted her teeth and texted Matthew irritably.

"Where are you?"

Why could he indulge himself in dissipation but didn't allow her to go out? That was so unfair to her!

Matthew's response shook Erica out of her reflection.

“I'm outside.

I'll return late.”

Erica couldn't believe his reply. Was he socializing again? And she was stuck in the villa? She was so furious that her mind went blank, and she couldn't think of a befitting answer.

After a while, just when she was about to fall asleep, she received a message from Kaitlyn.

"Yes. I will send it to you!"

It was not until Erica changed her clothes that she remembered that

Hilton family's manor.

Erica breathed a sigh of relief.

When she opened the door of the villa, she saw several bodyguards standing outside. As soon as they noticed her, they became vigilant.

“Erica!” Everyone knew that this pregnant woman could climb over the wall and window. So two bodyguards were guarding the windowsill too
