Take My Breath Away

Everyone looked at the woman Chantel called out to. But the woman continued walking like she hadn't heard a thing.

Finally, someone told the woman, "Miss Zhu! I think Miss Ye is trying to get your attention!"

Panic flashed in the woman's eyes, but she took a moment to get ahold of herself before she turned to see. Chantel was busy mopping Erica's dress. The woman smiled at her and asked, "Yeah? And what do you need?"

The green juice had created an angry dark stain on the red dress. It was painfully obvious, and had ruined the dress, hopefully just for the evening. Pointing at the stain, Chantel asked, "Did you knock that glass of juice over?" Her tone told everyone she was furious.

'This is just too much. We dealt with someone earlier, and now another person decides to mess with Rika. Do they really think she's such a pushover?' Chantel thought in exasperation.

Before the woman could say anything, someone else piped up. "It must be her. I saw her drinking the same kind of juice before it happened."

"Come to think of it, you're right. I think she did it on purpose."

A woman approached Erica and whispered in her ear, "That's Lucia Zhu, a local model. At another party she was at, she made a point of falling so that Mr. Huo would catch her. She laughed it off like she was drunk, but she was so obvious."

'Fell so Matthew would catch her?' Erica's anger flared.

She was already pretty heated because of the stain on her dress, and the fact that someone might have done that intentionally. When Paige had sent dozens of dresses for her to pick from, she chose this one immediately. That was the one she wanted. No matter how beautiful and expensive the other dresses were, she didn't even bother trying them on.

Erica had come here to build prestige as Mrs. Huo, to establish once and for all that Matthew was her husband, and he was off the market. So she wasn't going to take this from anyone, particularly someone who had designs on Matthew.

Seeing that there was no way out of this, Lucia Zhu decided to apologize. "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Huo. I didn't mean to do that. Maybe my dress brushed the glass of juice and knocked it over by accident. How about this? I'll pay to have it cleaned, and then have it sent to you. How does

he 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 Zhu 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 Xia 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 Li 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.
