Take My Breath Away-Chapter 1324 - A Big Fight

"I thought you two used couple profiles on WeChat?" Erica asked. She wanted to match her profile with Rhea's so they could show off their friendship. Unfortunately, when Erica saw Rhea's boyfriend's profile, she realized that she and her boyfriend were using couple profiles.

"Yeah! I found that asshole was using couple profiles with three other girls besides me!" Rhea yelled.

"What a jerk!" Erica commented. A few minutes later, the car stopped before the entrance of ZL Group. Paige ran over to Erica's side and opened the door to help her get out.

After a moment's silence, Rhea said, "I was particularly obsessed with the uniform on him. Your brother introduced a few guys to me when he was free. Why did I fall in love with him? Another guy your brother introduced to me back then has been promoted two ranks in a row. Why didn't I choose him in the first place? Was I blind then?"

Erica didn't know what to say, nor could she decide on whether to laugh or cry at Rhea's words. "How did you find out about the other two girls?"

"Well, I called Gifford for help again even though he was really busy. I tried to contact him several times, and finally got through. I asked him to accompany me to meet my boyfriend. Then I confronted that jerk face to face. I saw that there were another two girls he kept calling 'honey' on his phone..." It must have broken Rhea's heart into pieces back then.

Fortunately, Gifford had taken her away before she could burst into tears, saving her from the embarrassment of being a mess in front of him.

"Why don't you let my brother beat up that jerk? The least he could do is send him to the hospital for a few days!" 'Men like these are scum that need to be beaten senseless.' Erica's face soured at the mere thought of that wicked man.

Rhea took a deep breath and said, "Forget about it. I don't want to make trouble for your brother. What about you? What are you up to?"

Taking a look at the CEO's exclusive elevator in front of her, Erica walked in and said, "I'm going to Matthew's office to speak with him."

"What happened? Is something wrong?" Rhea asked when she noticed the change in Erica's tone at the mention of Matthew.

"Rhea, Matthew is so bossy and stubborn. I can't stand it anymore!" Erica blurted, completely disregarding Paige, who was also inside the elevator with her because she believed she was speaking the truth. As long as that was the case, Erica didn't see why she would be afraid of Paige snitching on her to Matthew.

Rhea thought for a moment and said, "Well, if I remember correctly, your husband is a Scorpio, right? Scorpios are bossy and stubborn in nature. They are also infamous for being overly possessive."

Erica believed her friend's words to be true. "Matthew is a typical Scorpio. He is domineering, heartless, and always suspicious. In my opinion, people like that shouldn't be in relationships with other people."

After all, Erica was a person, not a machine. She also needed space and freedom. She felt as though she was suffocating in his tight grips and the thought of carrying on like this was impossible.

Just as the elevator doors slid open, the two women walked out one after the other. All the while, Rhea tried to comfort Erica over the phone. "All right, calm down. You're pregnant now. Don't think about that stuff too much. Look at it this way, Mr. Huo wants you to be the only woman in his life. Would you rather have him run after another woman?"

In truth, Erica was inwardly happy that Matthew was very possessive about her, but she couldn't accept how unreasonable he could be.

"I'm in his office right now. I'll talk to you later, Rhea."

"Okay! Bye! Take good care of my godson and goddaughter!" Rhea ardently hoped that Erica would have a boy and a girl, and she could be their godmother.

"Okay, bye!" After Erica got off the phone, Paige slowly opened the door to Matthew's office for her.

Matthew had been waiting for her inside the room. When he saw the woman come in, he didn't move; instead, he maintained a steady glare with deep set eyes.

Erica put away her phone and stopped in front of his desk. She tilted her head to the side and looked into the man's eyes. "Don't you think you went too far this time?"

Without answering her question, Matthew stood up, walked around the desk and suddenly lifted the woman up in his arms. Before Erica knew it, the man softly placed her on top of the desk.

With his hands on her hips, he trapped her in his arms and said slowly, "Let me say it again. Rika, you'd better not lose your temper because of an irrelevant man!"

Matthew's words gave Erica cause for alarm. She looked at him meekly and said, "You didn't have to beat him up so badly!" Watkins looked like a mummy. He had a broken arm and his entire body had to be wrapped up in bandages. In fact, it was difficult for Erica to believe that Matthew, a man who always showed his noble side, could do this to another human being.

"Huh!" Matthew sneered. "What do you think I should have done to be more merciful? Break the tendons of his wrists and feet? Destroy Champion Group? Or bind his hands and feet and throw him into a pool of crocodiles?"

Erica's eyes were wide with shock and she couldn't believe Matthew could say such horrendous things without feeling even an ounce of remorse. "Matthew Huo, you are a horrible man!" Erica knew that Watkins deserved a punishment, but Matthew had gone too far.

Matthew raised the woman's chin with the tip of his finger. He smiled when he realized her face looked plumper than before. She must have been experiencing an increase in her appetite due to her pregnancy. He gazed at her eyes and said with a hint of warning in his tone, "Erica Li, I want absolute loyalty! Nothing less! If you have an affair with another man, I want you to know that you will be destroying that man's life forever. Do you understand me?"

"I find that a bit funny and hypocritical! What about you? What about your relationship with Phoebe? And with Camille? Should I tie Phoebe up and throw her into the pool of crocodiles. How about I pump Camille full of lead?"

Much to Erica's surprise, Matthew took out his phone from his pocket, found Owen's phone number and told Erica, "If you really mean it, I'll ask Owen to do as you say. I promise that neither Camille nor Phoebe will ever see the light of day again." Matthew wouldn't hesitate to wipe out the entire Su family if that was what his wife wanted.

As far as he was concerned, absolute loyalty was a two-way street. If he was expecting it from Erica, then obviously he was willing to give it to her as well in return.

Erica felt a shiver pass through her when she realized that Matthew wasn't joking. Suddenly, she grabbed his sleeve and broke down, failing to suppress the restlessness in her heart. "I can't be as cruel as you!"

Matthew casually threw his phone on the desk and put his hand on her belly. A lot of tenderness appeared in his eyes as he looked at the woman. "Honey, as long as you behave well, I promise you will be the happiest woman in the world."

'Behave well? Am I not obedient enough now? What else does he want me to do?' she thought to herself. She pulled his hand away and said, "You know what? You've beaten up Watkins so badly that he can't even move in his hospital bed. The poor man begged me not to quarrel with you! He said he would never send me roses again. You should go and apologize to him..."

"You want me to apologize to him?" Matthew's eyes were wide with anger.

Erica nodded and said, "Yes, or we can visit him together and apologize to him."

Matthew stood up straight, put his hands into his pockets and quietly suppressed the anger in his heart. After a long time, he looked at his wife and said, "Okay, I'll apologize to Watkins, but only if you apologize to Camille. After all, you slapped her, didn't you? What's more, it is because of me that she is lying in a hospital bed right now."

'He wants me to apologize to Camille?' Erica was burning with anger. "Matthew Huo, how dare you ask me to apologize to a woman who tried to seduce my husband!"

The atmosphere in the office was tense, almost as if a huge fight was about to break out.

"Rika, you can't have it both ways. If you can't apologize to Camille, then how can you ask me to apologize to a man who tried to seduce my wife?"

His rhetorical question rendered Erica speechless.

After a while, she stared into his eyes and asked, "Are you blaming me for slapping Camille? Are you blaming me for ruining your relationship with her?"
