Erica was married, and her elder sister would get married soon too, leaving Wesley and Blair alone in A Country.
Gifford was the one who had brought Chantel home. He must have thoroughly investigated the girl's background before taking her to their family. She was no danger, and didn't seem to have any bad intentions against the Li family.
Moreover, Erica had been planning to introduce a girl to Gifford, and now, the perfect girl was in front of her.
Her train of thoughts was interrupted by a knock on the bathroom door. Gifford said, "Rika, Chantel! Come out!"
He was afraid that the two girls were plotting something. The longer they stayed inside, the more suspicious they appeared to be.
In order to make Gifford feel at ease, Erica opened the door and stuck her head out. She glanced at her husband sitting on the sofa with a smile, and then told Gifford, "Give us some time, Brother. I have a lot to talk with Chantel."
Gifford turned around and glanced at the man on the sofa. He whispered to her, "How can you let Matthew wait for you like this? Aren't you afraid that he will be mad at you later?"
It seemed that the rumors about Matthew doting on Erica was not groundless. Otherwise, how could his sister dare to be so presumptuous in front of the cold CEO?
"No, I'm not afraid," she stated boldly. Matthew would punish her sooner or later since she had climbed over the wall and escaped from him. It didn't matter if she made him wait a little longer.
As long as he didn't kill her, everything would work out somehow.
Gifford was speechless. Since she didn't care, he had to return to his seat next to Matthew.
After a while, he murmured, "I have a bad feeling about this."
Matthew said curtly, "You are having a bad feeling now? It's a bit too late for that." The girls had been talking secretly in the bathroom for a while. It was obvious that they were up to something.
But Matthew wasn't worried. His bottom line for Erica was that she wouldn't run away from him again. As long as she stayed by his side, he would allow her to do whatever she wanted.
"Seriously?" Gifford said, with an exasperated sigh. "Could you please keep an eye on your wife? I will take care of Chantel."
He didn't think that the two girls would be able to trick him and Matthew.
In the bathroom
The girls reached an agreement. Erica began to daydream about her brother's future. "I'll figure out a way when I get back home. You stay here for a while. I'll contact you as soon as possible!"
"Okay! Rika, don't worry. As long as your brother doesn't hate me, I will do anything. I will never betray him!" Chantel swore.
Erica nodded, "I believe you! But if you dare betray my brother, I will have you sent to the slum!"
The slum was a place where many girls had nightmares about. But Chantel replied indifferently, "The slum? That wouldn't be much of a punishment for me. I grew up poor, in a remote village and I have experienced all kinds of hardships in my life. To me, going to the slum is like returning home. Let's see. If I betray your brother or do him wrong, you can just..."
Chantel tried her best to find the most vicious punishment for herself.
Erica was amused by her. She put her arm around the girl's shoulder and said, "Never mind! I believe you. And even if you do something to hurt him, I won't need to do anything because my brother won't let you easy!"
Gifford was the second generation of God of Warriors in the military after Wesley's retirement. His title was not for nothing, and he had countless ways to deal with people who betrayed him.
"I understand. But when the truth comes out, you have to help me!" Chantel said. Their trick would definitely be exposed one day. After all, Chantel's goal was to be pregnant with Gifford's child. They couldn't hide that when her belly became big. It would only be a matter of time before Gifford found out.
"No problem. I got your back! Okay then, if I don't leave now, my husband will be mad at me again. Not just mad. He would eat me alive!"
"He came looking for you in the middle of the night. He doesn't have it easy either. Go back now!" Chantel said, giggling. But to be honest, she really admired Erica's courage. The moment she saw Matthew earlier, she was so scared that she couldn't even breathe. She didn't know how Erica lived with a man who seemed as cold as an iceberg.
'He doesn't have it easy?' As Erica walked towards the door, she muttered, "I'm the one who doesn't have it easy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have climbed over the wall and escaped overnight."
Chantel smiled at her complaining. "I'll give you my WeChat account. Please send me a request. And you don't have to worry about your parents. They have helped me so much. I'll take good care of them for you," she promised.
The two girls came out of the bathroom, smiling and friendly with each other.
Under the vigilant eyes of the men, Erica turned on her phone and sent a friend request to Chantel's account.
After that was done, she put away her phone and looked at the two men in the room with a smile. "We're going to change our clothes. You two please wait outside."
Gifford was still worried about what they were plotting and didn't want them to stay alone anymore. He stood up, grabbed Chantel's wrist and took her out of the hotel room. "Erica, you change first. Since Chantel can't leave today, she doesn't have to change her clothes."
He closed the door behind him, leaving the couple in the room staring at each other.
Since her brother and Chantel were right outside the door, Erica didn't have to worry about what Matthew would do to her here. So, she boldly took off the bathrobe in front of the man and began to change her clothes.
In the process, she pointed at the marks and bites on her body and accused Matthew, "See this? This is why I ran away. So, don't be angry with me!"
Matthew was sitting still on the sofa. He glanced at the love bites he had left on her body. He said nothing, but his sexy Adam's apple bobbed silently.
She was becoming bold in front of him. Did she think that he wouldn't touch her because her brother was outside? She was underestimating him. How dare she provoke him like this?
If he wished, he wouldn't hesitate to make love to her even if there was someone else in the room.
In the hallway outside the door, Gifford looked into the girl's erratic eyes. He pretended to be serious and questioned her as if she were a criminal, "Look at me!"
Afraid that she might let slip something, Chantel leaned her back against the wall and looked up and down, avoiding eye contact. "What's wrong?"
"What are you doing in Y City?" If memory served him right, Chantel didn't have any relatives or friends in Y City.
That question was easy and she didn't need to lie. So, she finally dared to look into his eyes. "I came to see Erica."
"You and Erica have never seen each other before. Why were you looking for her?" Gifford asked, frowning.
She shifted her eyes away again and lied calmly, "We have never seen each other before; that's why I wanted to meet her. I didn't expect to bump into her as soon as I arrived at the Pearl Villa District!"
As she said this, she remembered the funny moment when she saw Erica. She couldn't help laughing.
No wonder the Li family always said that she was much more obedient than Erica ever was. Indeed, Erica was such a troublemaker. At least, Chantel wouldn't climb over a wall to escape from home. Well, even if she wanted to, she didn't have the ability to do so.
Erica deserved to be in the family of the two Gods of Warriors!
