Chapter 1376 One Hundred Dollar Check

The man's breath felt fresh and clear against her skin. Erica didn't need to look back to know who the man holding her from behind was.

Before she could turn around to validate her guess, however, the people around them began to greet him. "Hello, Mr. Huo!"

"Hello, Mr. Huo, Miss Xia!"

At this moment, she understood that both Matthew and Noreen were behind her.

Erica smiled. Her husband had barely left her for three minutes and was already back so soon. Why was that? 'It seems he still cares for me, ' she thought, giggling.

She then greeted Chantel with a wink and turned around to look up at the man holding her. He didn't look much friendly.

"Honey, have you brought the checkbook?" Erica asked.

"Yes. Why?" Matthew looked away as he spoke lightly.

Erica stretched out her hand and demanded, "Write me a hundred dollar check."

'A hundred dollar check? What is she planning?'

Even though he had no idea what she was going to do with it, he still took out the checkbook with no hesitation and wrote the number before handing the check to Erica.

A second later, Erica waved the check in front of Noreen and said, "Thank you for accompanying my husband while I wasn't here. This your tip. I know this isn't much money, and I apologize beforehand. But as you all know, my husband and I have four sons to raise. Our family has got to save every little penny we can now. But please, take it!"

The tip of one hundred dollars was a straight insult to the famous actress, Noreen Xia.

However, the mention of Erica's four sons was what felt like the real slap in her face.

Noreen didn't make a move to take the check. But regardless of the actress's livid face, Erica folded the check in two before she stuck it into her dress.

It was impossible not to associate the scene with a rich man putting his money into a stripper's bra.

Immediately, everyone who had already wanted to laugh at Noreen wasn't able to hold back any longer. Noreen, on the other hand, was furious to get humiliated in front of all those people, but she had to refrain from lashing out at Erica no matter how mad she was.

Chantel shook her head helplessly. Erica was naughty, but she didn't mind giving her a hand. "Rika, isn't the jewelry set you are wearing now the same one purchased at 1.8 billion a few days ago? I bet Mr. Huo bought it for you. How generous of

get humiliated. Many of them had had their opportunities robbed by Noreen at some point in their careers. Amused, they began to laugh at her openly. "I didn't come here expecting that Noreen would have such a day!"

"That's right. She's the number one star in the entertainment industry. Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the first lady in the financial business would be the one to teach her a lesson!"

"Mrs. Huo, you're awesome.

Thank you for doing something that we wanted but never dared to do."

Noreen gritted her teeth once she heard what everyone had to say about her. She then looked at the man beside her. He was still discussing business with others as if nothing was going on around him. "Mr. Huo, I came to the party with you. Will you allow your wife to bully me like this? Won't you do anything about it?"

Only then did Matthew cast a glance at her. "What do you want me to do? Discipline Erica?"

"Yes! Not only did she insult me, but she also pushed me!"

He settled for three simple words and answered, "I wouldn't dare." He was afraid that if he taught Erica a lesson again, she would run away from him for another three or four years.

But then, to everyone's surprise, a malicious look flashed across Matthew's face as he stared at Noreen and asked, "Do you want to frame me?"

Noreen was confused. "Mr. Huo, what are you talking about?"

Matthew's voice grew colder. "If I discipline my wife in favor of another woman, she will get mad. What if she decides to leave me after that? I would be alone. Are you trying to frame me then?"
