Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1266

Fanya cut one of the medallions of foie gras on her plate elegantly without looking at her daughter. "Why wouldn't she be arrogant? Erica's one of the Li family, a renowned military family in A Country. She's always been a selfish bitch. Now that she got her claws into Matthew Huo, she's even worse," she sneered.

Her words made the food in Phoebe's mouth hard to swallow. Erica's connections made her impossible to touch. Her family was rich and powerful. "If you have any better ideas on how to bring her down, I'm all ears."

'They don't have any better ways of dealing with Erica, do they? Why does it always come down to me?' she thought to herself.

"I had good ideas, but you screwed up everything!" Camille spat. It was an accusatory tone, full of contempt and blame.

She had wanted to build a close relationship with the Huo family, but she was even further from her goal thanks to Tessie and Phoebe.

After a moment's silence, Phoebe gritted her teeth and said, "We could hire someone to..." She dragged her index finger across her throat. A gesture that indicated murder.

Bang! Fanya dropped her knife and fork. The knife and fork hit the plate and made a sharp sound. She stared at her daughter with an expression of astonishment. "Are you crazy, Phoebe Su? Are you seriously threatening a member of the Li family? Do you have a death wish? Are you out of your damn mind?"

Even if they succeeded, they probably wouldn't get away with it. And if Matthew weren't able to figure it out, Wesley and Gifford likely would.

"They'd find out. Matthew, Gifford, Wesley, it doesn't matter who. And they'd come after us. They might kill every last member of the Su family to get back at us."

Phoebe's body trembled, and her face became even paler, if possible. "Okay, okay. Point taken."

Then silence reigned in the dining room of the Su family. Only the sound of knives and forks colliding with the dishes could be heard.

They couldn't even take Erica down after sacrificing the baby in Phoebe's belly. The Su family needed to think this over more carefully.

Phoebe complained of being weak from the miscarriage, so after she was done with dinner, she went upstairs. Her mom and dad followed. Camille got a phone call, so she waited downstairs until she was done. Eventually, she started to climb the stairs herself.

However, as soon as Camille reached the second floor, she heard an earth-shattering scream. "Aaargh!"

That was Phoebe! Everyone in the house heard it, too. Then the door to her room opened, and she crawled out.

"Phoebe! What's wrong?" Camille asked as she stood straight and looked at her sister with contempt.

'Now I think I know why Mom and Dad don't like Phoebe or Tessie. Look at her! She's a mess! We're rich and powerful, and she acts like this! She just literally crawled out of the room. Like a lizard! This would be really embarrassing if this got out, ' she thought.

Lyman heard the noise, and rushed out to the hall to find out what was up. He stared Phoebe huddled on the floor, trembling and stuttering. She'd been frightened half to death. But by what?

Concern was evident in his gaze. She was his own daughter, after all. He walked over to her and helped her up. "What's wrong, Phoebe?" he asked in a worried tone.

"Dad, Dad..." Seeing that it was her father, Phoebe rushed into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. "S-s-snake! There's a-a snake in my room!"

'Snake? But our villa is in a suburb. We're too close to the city for random critters to show up.

How could there be a snake?'

When Camille heard about the snake, a touch of fear flashed through her eyes. She tightened her grip on the phone.

So did Fanya. Panic contorted her normally calm face. She clapped her hands and summoned several maids who were all upstairs as well. "Go to Phoebe's room and see what's going on!"

The maids weren't stupid. They weren't going any further, because they were also afraid of the snake.

Most people had a natural aversion to snakes.

When Camille saw them hesitating, anger gushed out from the bottom of her heart. She ordered coldly, "Hurry up! Didn't you hear me?"
