"A salesman...who sells houses and clothes?’ the bodyguards thought.

They wanted to Laugh out Loud but dared not; the muscles on their faces were constantly trembling as they tried hard to hold back their guffaws.

Matthew's face darkened as he stared at the woman.

Erica was truly worried now. She tried to distract Matthew by saying,

“Watch these guys, I gotta go do something. It's in the basement. I'LL explain Later!"

Now that her husband was here, she could dig up the evidence and expose their crimes.

Matthew moved his foot off of Kirk and ordered his bodyguards, "Tie him up!" He hadn't forgotten that Erica had played a part in this. But he bided his time. He could wait.

“Yes, Matthew!"

Then he saw that Erica was having trouble moving the cabinet. He could guess the reason why she was doing it. Finally, he simply ordered one of Kirk's men, "Move that cabinet!"

Soon, the cabinet was moved away, revealing the entrance to the basement. Erica went downstairs again, but this time she had Matthew with her.

Two bodyguards followed them down.

In the basement

When he caught sight of the powder on the table, Matthew scowled. While

Erica shot some photos, he rubbed some powder between his fingertips and sniffed it. He knew what that powder was simply by its scent.

She turned and patted him on the arm.

"Matthew, Look, there's a person in that cage! Call the cops!" She didn't have a phone with her now, so she had to urge him to do it.

She was going to hand over the photos she had taken to the police after she got out of here. They could investigate this.

But she hadn't thought Matthew would find her. Since he was here, she could rely on him.

Matthew withdrew his eyes from the cage and glanced coldly at the woman who was still excited about gathering the evidence. It was like she didn't understand what kind of danger she was in.

"Do you know what this powder is?"

“Not sure! But it must be something bad. And they have a hostage down here too." She had thought that the white powder might be drugs, but there was too much-maybe even several tons, so she was not sure.

They left the basement. Matthew asked his bodyguards to call the police and keep an eye on the group of thugs while he took Erica back home.

She put the camera back to its original place, and then tried to put her arms around him. Matthew pushed her away. He stared at her in disgust and said, "Go take a shower."

The woman lowered her head and took a look. Then she realized she was all covered in dirt. She was filthy.

"Okay!" But before she went to shower, she ran to him and kissed him on the cheek happily.
