BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1124 Your Husband Is Awesome
"A hundred thousand dollars," replied Reese in a timid voice.
"No, it was five hundred grand!" Erica retorted loudly. Now that Matthew was here, she could make Reese pay. "If she lost, she\'d only pay a hundred grand. She pushed me into putting up five hundred grand if I lost. Kinda unfair, don\'t you think?"
Matthew glanced at his wife and said, "Aren\'t you Miss Troublemaker? I didn\'t know you were that easy to bully."
Erica gave him an embarrassed smile. How could she be forced into that so easily? She wasn\'t normally that simple to push around. On impulse, she had agreed to Reese\'s terms without a second thought.
"You always harass my wife like this?" he asked. He didn\'t look at Reese this time.
Reese and Erica were the closest to Matthew\'s car. Even Rhea stood a fair distance away. So Reese knew he was talking to her.
She was taken aback by his question. "H-harass her? I didn\'t do anything like that, Mr. Huo. Erica agreed to the bet herself."
"You lost the bet. And it isn\'t really fair that she bet five hundred grand and you only have to pay a hundred grand. Sounds to me like you\'re bullying my wife," Matthew said calmly.
Reese gasped. She was no fool and she understood exactly what Matthew meant. "Mr. Huo, go easy on me. I\'m just a college student. I don\'t have that much money..."
Erica rolled her eyes and exposed her lies. "She has the money. She has tons of boyfriends. She can get the money from them."
"Erica, I swear I don\'t have the money. Mr. Huo, please, I\'m begging you..." Reese was about to cry.
Matthew seemed bored. He looked at his wristwatch to check the time and said to the driver calmly, "Call Principal Zheng and ask him to deal with it."
"Yes, Mr. Huo." The driver took out his phone and started dialing.
Principal Zheng was one of the principals of A Country Film Academy, and the most powerful one.
It was not easy for Reese to get enrolled in college. They hadn\'t admitted her, initially. But money talks—her parents paid a lot of money to get her in. It was more than j
icer to him?" She wondered why Erica liked handsome guys so much, but was not interested in Matthew at all.
Erica was flustered. She knew Matthew was a good man, but he didn\'t like her. "He loves someone else," she simply said.
After shopping with Rhea for several hours and having hotpot in the evening, Erica returned to Li family villa.
When she walked into the living room, she saw Matthew, Wesley and Blair sitting there. But to her surprise, Matthew was cradling Ethan in his arms.
Erica\'s jaw dropped. She couldn\'t believe that Matthew knew how to hold a baby properly. She couldn\'t do it properly at the beginning.
Seeing her come in, Matthew acted as if he didn\'t see her. Blair just kept talking. "It was hard for her to choose a major. Finally, she chose the Photography despite our objections."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Erica asked. She had a bad feeling about this.
Staring at his phone, Wesley answered without even raising his head, "Nothing much. We think you should go back to school."
Erica was only 22 years old. They couldn\'t let her child affect her whole life. Even if she got married, she could still go back to school.
"That\'s what I think too," Erica said. It was rare that she was so cooperative.
She just thought she had nothing to do in Matthew\'s villa and couldn\'t find a suitable job. It was better for her to go back to college and continue her studies.
As if remembering something, Blair asked Matthew in an excited voice, "Do you know how Erica ended up choosing her major?"
