His deep eyes took in the woman's face for less than two seconds and then moved away. He had a good memory, which served him here.

“We met once. At a dinner party."

"So, is it true that she fell into your arms on purpose when she was drunk?"

The man thought for a while and nodded.

"On purpose? I don't know. I did make sure she didn't fall." But he hadn't thought about it after that. Only then did he see the stains on Erica's dress. Matthew frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your dress?"

“She tipped over a glass of green juice on purpose and it spilled on my dress." Erica changed her attitude and leaned against his chest, acting like a spoiled child.

“Honey, Paige found a bunch of dresses, but this was the only one I liked. This woman stained it deliberately. I hope it's not ruined!"

Matthew's face gradually turned gloomy. He wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and gave Lucia death glare. He said coldly, "This is ridiculous! Why won't you Leave my wife alone? Guards, take her to the top deck. Tie her to a chair and keep her there for three days and nights!"

Although he didn't deal with Noreen himself just now, it didn't mean he didn't care! And now there was someone else trying the same shit. What were they trying to do? And why choose his wife? He could turn a blind eye when the Leonard family punished Erica, because they were their elders. But these other two women? They were nothing to him. And yet they were ballsy enough to try and mess with his wife. They needed to be taught a Lesson.

His words made everyone gasp. ‘That Long? If she dies of exposure, will he be held accountable?"

I sure wouldn't want to piss him off. You mess with the best, die Like the rest, ' they all thought.

Matthew's words sent Lucia to the floor on her knees and she begged,

“Matthew, I'm sorry. I promise that it will never happen again! I know that it was my fault, but..."

The man didn't seem to care about the woman's pleading and he ruthlessly watched her get taken away. There were over a thousand people in the cruise ship, but not one person dared to speak for her.

Matthew whispered in Erica's ear, "The ship is heading back. We'll go straight home when it reaches the shore.”

"Okay!" She nodded in response.

“I'll have someone bring you a fresh set of clothes first."

“Thanks, but that won't be necessary. I've cleaned up most of the stains with wet tissues. We'll be home soon, so don't bother!"

"Fine." Matthew didn't force her.

For the remainder of the party, there wasn't a single man or woman who dared to provoke Erica

When Chantel was in the bathroom, Erica took the chance to call

Gifford.

"Gifford, I think that Chantel has offended someone she shouldn't have because of me. You have to keep her safe."

“Are you serious? What kind of trouble have you gotten Chantel into now? You've already made every member of the Leonard family suffer.

Just make trouble for the Hilton family if you have nothing better to do!"
