NovelEnglishErica was stunned for a moment and her voice trembled anxiously. "I was just trying to scare her! There's no need to send her there. She's already beaten up so badly. She won't survive out there!"
Although Lenora deserved punishment, she didn't deserve to die.
What happened this time also served as a lesson for Erica who understood the importance of speaking more carefully in front of Matthew. She realized that if she didn't choose her words more carefully, it could bear some irreparable consequences.
"I know what I'm doing!" Matthew said coldly. He wouldn't kill anyone, obviously, but he would definitely torture Lenora for a while.
"Matthew, I'm not joking! She is going to die! You are going to send her to a primeval forest in a deserted area. Just think about what you're doing! She won't even have any food there. If Lenora ends up dying, I will have to live with the guilt of it for the rest of my life!" Erica was clearly very anxious, but Matthew still acted as if he didn't care if that wretched woman died of hunger or some miserable disease.
He remained silent as he drove her back to the villa.
When they arrived, Matthew asked her to get out of the car and said, "I need to go back to the company first. You should get ready for class."

Matthew looked at her small face and answered, "Erica, what kind of person do you really think I am?" 'What do I have to do to make her feel like I am the only man she will ever need?' he wondered gloomily.
Erica said readily, "You're handsome—" '—and hot.'
"I want to hear the truth."
'The truth?' Erica looked at him with puzzlement. She couldn't have been lying to him about his good-looks, after all, the man was, indeed, very handsome. "You're a nice guy!"
Anyway, he was always nice to her. But that wasn't it, he was, in fact, a great guy who treated her very well.
He looked at her hand holding the window and said, "Move your hands away!"
"But you haven't answered me yet. Can you..."
"If you have more questions, you can come to me again after we become a real married couple!"
Erica was speechless. Why did his mood change all of a sudden? He wasn't acting like this at the Su family residence just a while ago. Was it because she tried to show Lenora some compassion?
Confused as she was, she moved her hands away when she saw the cold expression on his face.
Matthew stepped on the gas with immediacy and drove away quickly.
While Erica stood there al
, so she lowered her head and pretended to look through his tie collection in the drawer.
Since the man changing clothes next to her had the perfect figure, it would be a pity to allow such a sight to go to waste for nothing. So, Erica glanced sideways to sneak a peek, only to be discovered almost immediately. When she laid her eyes on Matthew's naked body, she turned her back to him at once, riddled with guilt. She kept rummaging through the drawers full of his ties and watches.
However, her attention was quickly drawn to his drawer full of watches. 'What a spendthrift man! How many watches does Matthew have?' She began to count out of curiosity.

How much did they cost?' action
Then the next drawer had all kinds of tie clips, made of gold, mounted with diamonds or gemstones... Her heart stopped when she saw Matthew's collection of rare, vintage watches and tie clips.
Suddenly, Matthew walked out, closing the door of the closet loudly.
The sound brought Erica back to her senses. It was only then when she found that the man behind her had already gone out.
She quickly closed the drawers and trotted outside. When she opened the door, Matthew was stood straight at the doorway.
When their eyes met, the girl smiled and asked casually, "Oh, you're back?"
"Just say what you want to say," he asked indifferently.
"I just wanted to know where you were sending Tessie and Lenora." There was something wrong with Matthew tonight. He didn't even spare so much as a glance at her, while she racked her brains trying to figure out how she had offended him.
Despite that, Erica had to know what had happened to Tessie and Lenora.
"Have you forgotten what I've said today?"
