Take My Breath Away-Chapter 1341 - Have Some Peace Of Mind

'Matthew is a man who excels in everything. How could a fool like me deserve him? Only those elegant women or those who are outstanding in business like Terilynn or Evelyn suit him, ' Erica thought to herself.

Perhaps other people would call her silly and crazy. She felt like she was different from other women. For example, most women would run away in fright when they saw snakes. On the contrary, she was happy to see those animals. She would even hold them and play with them.

When she came back to her senses, she dialed Gifford's number. However, no one answered, even after she tried to call many times.

It was only on her fifteenth attempt that he finally answered. He asked in a low voice, "Rika, is there any problem?" He was on a mission, but when he saw Erica's persistent calls, he had no other choice but to find a place to answer his phone secretly.

"Gifford, I need to tell you something."

"Is that really urgent?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, tell me," he said with a sigh.

"Long time ago, I saved a man and took him home to treat his wounds. At that time, Matthew happened to come back home from a business trip. When he saw the man, he got so angry." She paused as Matthew's enraged face flashed in her mind.

She couldn't help sobbing as she thought, 'Did Matthew already like me at that time? If he didn't, why did he get furious when he found out that I brought a man back home?'

"Rika, what is happening to you? Why are you crying a lot recently?" This time, Gifford regretted not coming to Y City a few days ago to confront Matthew.

"I'm fine. I just discovered something that shocked me. I just found out that Matthew really loves me," she replied while wiping the tears on her face.

Gifford was rendered speechless. He was surprised that she found out about it just now.

Erica continued, "Since then, that man has started to appear in my life more often. And every time we were together, Matthew would always appear and get furious. One day, Matthew beat him black and blue. When I went to the hospital to visit him, he confided to me that he liked me, and he was the one who sent me the roses." Although intermittently, she had finally told Gifford about Watkins.

She had always considered Watkins as a friend. A kind of friend that she was willing to fight for with her husband.

After listening to her narration that lasted for more than ten minutes, Gifford thought for a while before decisively told her, "There's something wrong with that man. Judging from the fact that every time he was with you, you would run into Matthew, I'm sure he's not that simple. Perhaps everything was preplanned. And he was even with you when Phoebe had a miscarriage. Do you think it was just a coincidence? Then he deliberately sent you the roses and confessed to you in the hospital. Obviously, his main purpose was to ruin your relationship with Matthew. Rika, I think you have been fooled." Thinking how his sister was tricked by a man, he couldn't help but sigh.

Erica was stunned upon hearing her brother's conclusion. 'Oh, my God! My brother can see through everything, even merely from my narration. Why haven't I realized it from the start?' she thought.

Gifford continued, "I suggest you ask someone to investigate what happened to you in the Blessing Palace. For me, it's too coincidental that he suddenly appeared in such a critical moment to save you. It might also be one of his plots."

'If Gifford is right, then Watkins is not only hateful but also too terrifying, ' Erica thought to herself again.

Sensing her disappointment, he comforted her, "Don't overthink things. Since you have treated him as a true friend, it's only normal that you can't see through him. But it's not too late yet to know his true colors. Tell me who he is, and I'll help you investigate. As for Phoebe Su, I'll send someone to bring her here tomorrow."

Even though Gifford couldn't see her, she shook her head and said, "I've already asked someone to send Phoebe away. And that man, he has left too. They are all gone."

"You sent Phoebe away just like that? Don't rush things with her. Send her to me and let me teach her a lesson first." He had a set of special tools that could make that woman suffer in pain.

"You can talk with Matthew about it. Gifford, I just want some peace right now. Thanks for your time. Bye!"

Since her childhood, she had never felt so lost like today.

She was sad and angry at the same time.

After a long while, a black Emperor car stopped in front of Erica, and Matthew got out.

He was wearing a dark tailored suit with a white shirt underneath, and a dark blue, polka dot tie.

He walked towards her in his dark brown leather shoes, with his usual expressionless look. But when their gazes met, tenderness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

After sitting next to her, he held her in his arms and gently called her name, "Rika."

Erica, who had already stopped crying a while ago, burst into tears again upon hearing his soft voice.

She had never seen his gentleness before. It was only now that she realized, he was so gentle that her heart melted in an instant.

She buried her face in his arms and sobbed, "Matthew... boo...hoo...!" She wanted to add, 'My Matthew...

I feel so sad. My heart aches so much.'

Seeing her in this state saddened Matthew too. He kissed her hair and said, "Don't cry."

He took his phone out with his free hand and called Owen. The gentleness in his voice disappeared as he spoke to his assistant. "Send Phoebe to a remote mountain in the deserted area now. Build a new tombstone for Nathan there and ask her to face his tombstone every day to confess all her sins. Make her promise to never come back to Y City ever! As for Camille, take her to a small village and find her a husband there. Make sure that you choose a family that is special enough for her."

Owen immediately understood what he meant, so he answered, "Yes, Mr. Huo." He must find a family that Camille couldn't afford to offend, especially her husband and parents-in-law.

"Don't let Watkins escape abroad. Disable him and send him to the village where Camille is," Matthew added.

Watkins should witness the woman he loved so much being married to a stranger, and that he couldn't do anything but suffer in pain.

"Got it, Mr. Huo!"

"Put the plan of acquiring the Su family's company on the agenda for the next meeting. I want their company to disappear in Y City in half a month."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

Kaitlyn was sent to the cave where Lenora had once stayed.

According to the rumors, Lenora went to see a psychiatrist after coming back from that cave. Many people in Y City knew about it. So when she found out that she would be sent to that cave too, Kaitlyn was so scared that she almost went crazy.

But no matter how much she tried to struggle, she was still taken away.

This time, Matthew was really furious. He didn't pass up anyone related to the Su family who plotted against Erica.

After giving all his orders to Owen, he carried Erica into the car and went back to Pearl Villa District.

Knowing that she was in a depressed mood, he didn't work that night and stayed in bed with her.

She was awake but remained silent the whole night until three o'clock in the morning. When Matthew was about to fall asleep, Erica suddenly spoke up. "Matthew, I want to go somewhere to have some peace of mind."

Matthew suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness and asked uncertainly, "What?"

"I want to go on a trip."

When it finally dawned on him, he hugged her and said, "Okay. I'll go with you."

But to his surprise, she shook her head. "I want to go alone. If you are worried about me and the babies, you can send more bodyguards to protect me." As long as Matthew wasn't there, getting rid of even ten bodyguards would be easy for her.

Matthew fell silent. He couldn't immediately agree to her because he was worried about her safety if he wasn't there to protect her personally.
