Chapter 1278 Light Of Her Life

Erica chuckled when she realized that Matthew was concerned about her. Her fingers flew across her screen as she typed, "They made it differently. I didn't know that there is a layer of shaved ice on the bottom. Don't worry. I won't eat it!"

Matthew replied a second later, "If you have nothing else to do, go back early and rest."

'Wow! People say that those who reply to your message so quickly care for you.'

The happiness glimmering in Erica's eyes couldn't be concealed. She decided that Matthew would be the light of her life from now on!

Shortly after their return from South City, Erica recovered from her cold. Matthew, who had been angry before they had left for South City, finally ended the tension by declaring, "I don't want to argue with a weak and sick woman."

Erica's heart soared when Matthew finally stopped being angry with her. She ignored the words—weak and sick.

'As long as Matthew is happy, it doesn't matter if I'm wronged, ' she thought.

After her return to Y City, Erica didn't dare to go to Mr. Wang with Watkins. After all, that would agitate her husband.

She had to curb her desire to discover the truth before Watkins asked her out.

'Does Phoebe think that I will let her go so easily? Then she is wrong!'

As per Erica's observation, every time Phoebe left school and got into the Su family's car, she would sit on the right side of the back seat.

One day, as the Su family's driver smoked beside the car, a male college student ran to him. After a brief moment of hesitance, he shyly asked, "Sir, can you do me a favor, please?"

The driver shot him a puzzled glance and questioned, "What's wrong, young lad?"

The student pointed at a car not far away and said, "I can't start my car. Would you take a look?"

"Oh, I see. No problem!" The driver and the student then made their way toward the car.

A split second later, a figure quickly ran to the Su family's car. She stopped and glanced around to ensure that no one noticed her. Then, she gently opened the back door, squatted, and placed something inside. Finally, she closed the door and hid behind a big tree.

The student's car roared to life. With feigned confusion, he stared at the car and said, "That's odd. I couldn't start it a few minutes ago. Sir

"Whatever!" Phoebe said impatiently as she wiped the blood on her palm with a tissue.

Two days later, much to her surprise, the wound had swollen up. The puncture site on her leg had swollen just like her palm.

She winced as she gingerly touched the wound. It was not only swollen but painful as well.

Phoebe, who had forgotten about this accident, summoned the driver and asked, "Did you find out what pricked me?"

The driver shivered with fear and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, Miss Su. After I brought you home that day, I was instructed to take your father to the company. I forgot about it. I'll go and find out now!"

Phoebe was outraged by the driver's forgetfulness. 'He is so useless!' she cursed inwardly. Her eyes widened in anger. "Go and check now! My hand and leg are swollen. Tell me what they are as soon as you find out!"

"Yes, Miss Su. I'll do it right away!"

Phoebe stood still and gasped for breath as the driver bowed and scampered off.

She glanced at her swollen palm, and fresh anger surged through her. She knew the identity of the culprit. Regardless of whether that person did it on purpose or not, Phoebe swore that she would make her pay for what she'd done.

A few days later, Phoebe marched into the CEO's office of ZL Group.

As soon as she stopped in front of Matthew's desk, she slammed a test report on the desk. "Matthew, Erica has gone too far! This time, I won't tolerate her tricks. I've already contacted a lawyer, and we are preparing to sue her."
