True Love Waits novel Chapter 1196

When Julianna saw Erica slap her father, she ran over quickly, grabbed the other girl's clothes tightly and shouted, "Erica Li, don't hit my dad! You ungrateful bitch! He helped you out of kindness, and now you do this. I'm going to beat the shit out of you!"

The driver rushed to grab Julianna. She was about to hit his boss's wife. "Please let go of Mrs. Huo!"

"Are you high? She hit my father! I need to teach her a lesson!"

Tam was normally a rich, successful, handsome man. Julianna was her father's biggest fan. She admired him a lot.

If someone slapped your idol, you'd probably have much the same reaction. Besides, it was a matter of honor. Julianna had to go after Erica.

Hearing what Julianna said, Tam finally came to his senses. He held his daughter's hand and said, "Julianna, let go of her."

"Dad! She hit you! That's not cool. I need to slap her too!"

Erica glared at Julianna and answered, not to be outdone, "He deserved it. Ask your father why I smacked him, instead of blaming me! Go on—ask him!"

Julianna thought her words made sense. She let go of Erica and looked at her father. "Okay, Dad, why did she hit you?"

Tam put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Julianna, don't worry about your old dad's business. Let's get out of here, okay?"

Then Julianna was forcibly taken away by her father. Erica got into her car.

The two cars left, leaving a woman standing nearby, watching them drive away.

Tessie watched Erica's car speeding off and felt uneasy. She was afraid her lie would be exposed and everyone would hate her, instead of Erica.

'No, no! I can't let that happen. But what can I do about it?'

Determined, she took out her phone and dialed Phoebe's number. As soon as her sister picked up, Tessie sobbed, "Hey, Phoebe! You'll never guess who came to see me. Yeah, that's right. Erica. I'm scared."

Phoebe frowned and asked, "Did she try to bully you again?"

"Yes, she also warned me not to tell anyone. She said even if I did, she wasn't afraid, because we don't have any evidence for what she did..." 'I'm sorry, Erica. I'm so sorry! I really have no choice. I have to keep lying, ' she thought to herself.

Phoebe was so angry that she pounded the table and said, "She's gone too far this time!"

"Erica's always been like that, you know."

Reminded by Tessie, Phoebe remembered she'd known Erica for awhile. Each time she got together with her, she came away with the impression that Erica was a bad apple. Stubborn, intractable.

"Don't worry. Next time she shows up and tries to push you around, just call me." Phoebe had made up her mind to let Matthew know what kind of person Erica actually was! He should know exactly who he married!

"Okay, thanks. You're the best."

After the phone call with her younger sister, Phoebe immediately called Matthew. "Hi, Matthew. It's Phoebe. Listen, did you know Erica went to see my sister?"

"Yes."

"She threatened her. Told her that she didn't want to see her face again in Y City. Said she would beat Tessie every time she saw her. My sister even transferred to a new school to get away from Erica, but why can't she stop bullying my sister? What should she do?"

Matthew said calmly, "Ask your sister to keep changing schools, until Erica is satisfied."

That was not the answer Phoebe wanted. Embarrassed, she said, "Matthew, are you going to let Erica bully other girls like this? She's my sister, dammit!"

"That's between Tessie and Erica. I'm not going to get involved." The way Matthew saw it, Tessie was a woman who didn't even want her own child and pretended to be dead to deceive everyone. She deserved to be beaten!

Taking a deep breath, Phoebe tried her best to suppress the anger surging in her heart and said, "Well, I see. I'll try to learn the truth first."

"Mmm hmm." He gave a simple reply and hung up.
