He ignored her words and said calmly, "I came here to take Nathan's things."

“Take Nathan's things? Are his things on that bitch's bed?" she mocked and laughed sarcastically

He stared straight to her eyes and said unblinkingly, "Nothing happened between Phoebe and me. It's not what you think it is."

If he was not mistaken, Erica and he fell into Phoebe's trap.

Wiping her tears, Erica stared at the woman next to her.

"Phoebe, I declare that you are done!" She would not forgive her no matter what and she would do everything to teach her a good lesson

After saying those words, she held her head high, turned around, and left the apartment decisively.

Despite being slapped by Erica, Matthew followed her quickly. He didn't even bother to take his suit in the Living room.

Fortunately, she didn't stop him from entering the elevator. Inside, he pressed her against the wall and coaxed her in a soft voice, “Rika,

Phoebe told me that she found a box hidden by Nathan. There were important things in it, so I came to pick the box up. But when I arrived there, the pipe in her bathroom suddenly broke."

As tears still streamed down her face, Erica listened to his explanation without saying a word.

He continued, "The property manager came and fixed the pipe, but my clothes were already wet, so I went to her bedroom to change into

Nathan's shirt."

"You're lying!" Erica suddenly broke out. Trying to suppress the pain in her heart, she retorted, “You are a neat freak. You won't wear clothes that others wear!" She knew what a neat freak Matthew was. He wouldn't even wear his best friend's clothes

“Yes, you're right. But this one I'm wearing is new." Phoebe bought the shirt for Nathan before, but he didn't get the chance to use it. That was why he agreed to wear it.

Matthew thought of the whole scenario in his mind. Phoebe decided to sell the apartment and found the box while she was cleaning up. She then asked Matthew to get it. But when he was there, the pipe suddenly broke. His clothes got wet when he tried to fix it. She then offered

Nathan's new shirt, and he changed right in time that Erica arrived.

Obviously, things were preplanned. It was a trap.

He would definitely make Phoebe pay for this. But for now, he needed to focus on appeasing Erica. He couldn't do anything unless she forgave him.

“It seems that I am really a fool in your eyes," Erica murmured. She hated herself for being so stupid to fall in love with a man who Loved no one but Phoebe.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, she pushed him away and walked out.

As soon as she got in the car, she dialed Gifford's number, ignoring

Matthew, who sat beside her.

Every time she sent a message to Gifford, it would always take a Long time before he replied. But when she called him, he would answer immediately. She knew that Gifford was always busy. After all, when

Rhea called him for help last time, she had to call him more than twenty times before he finally answered.
