True Love Waits novel Chapter 1210

Tam tidied up his clothes, stared at the camera with an embarrassed look, and slowly said, "I'm Tam Wu. You've probably heard the rumors. Two years ago, Erica Li became a single mom, right? But that's not true. You see, Erica's good friend and I are the kid's parents. Erica's raising the child now. I just wanted to say I'm sorry I hurt everyone. I hurt Erica by ruining her reputation. I hurt my family with this affair. I apologize!"

After getting what she wanted, Erica calmed down and told the reporters, "Please keep the recording and photos safe. Don't release them yet. There will be still more." She hadn't confronted Tessie yet!

"Okay, Mrs. Huo."

Then, Erica walked over to Neville and Watkins. She knew she needed to apologize to Neville. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chai. I got so mad I smashed some computers in your operations department. I'll pay for all the damage I did. But I hope you can fire Tam. He's going nowhere but down, and I don't want him to drag you down with him."

Right now, Erica was acting all sweet and polite, completely different from the raging berserker who left piles of wreckage at Tam's company.

But still, Neville sensed the implied threat in her tone. How could a fifty-something-year-old man be threatened by a young woman not even out of college?

Neville was intrigued by Erica, but also a little miffed. He couldn't be mad at her if he tried, but he could be annoyed. "Mr. Wu's private affairs are his own business. Walking into a corporate office and destroying computers is another matter. You come to my company and make trouble, and then you try to bully me into firing an employee you have a personal problem with. Who do you think you are?"

With an innocent look on her face, Erica said in an even more innocent tone, "I don't know where Tam's home is, so I had no choice but to come to his workplace to let everyone know I was mad. Don't worry, Mr. Chai. As long as you fire Tam, I'll make sure you get the money to replace what I destroyed. I'll even tell my husband you helped me today. Helping me means helping my husband. He will definitely thank you!"

Neville had never seen such a charming woman. She knew just what to say. He laughed, "You and Mr. Huo are a perfect match. Mr. Huo is a cold man. You're not. I have to imagine you bring a lot more variety to his daily routine."

Erica nodded with a smile and stated, "I think so. So does my husband. We're both lucky to have found each other."

Hands behind his back, Neville said, "Ha ha, if you weren't married, I would definitely bug my son to ask you out. But you got married before I met you. Watkins, Mrs. Huo is the gold standard of a good wife. You should find yourself a girl like her."

Watkins nodded helplessly, "Got it, Dad."

The smile on Erica's face froze. 'Someone like me? Isn't he afraid that I'll tear the Chai family's house down around their ears?' she thought in surprise. Nevertheless, still, she replied in a sweet voice, "You're too kind, Mr. Chai."

How things turned out shocked the employees of the Champion Group. It was the first time that they had seen someone destroy company property and still talk with the boss. Usually, those people got fired, or jailed. What was so amazing about this girl?

Erica waved at Watkins. "I need to jet. Bye, Watkins."

Watkins trotted over and said, "Let me walk you out."

Hearing this, the employees were surprised again, wondering how all this was possible. Was it just the fact that she was part of the powerful Huo family? Or maybe Erica had a presence all her own. This girl had just engaged in what amounted to sabotage—blatant sabotage—and she got off scot free. Not only that, the boss' son was going to escort her out of the building. This was just too incredible.

Erica didn't turn Watkins down. On the way out, she said to him, "Thank your dad for me when you go back in. He's the most generous man I've ever met. I wanna pay him back every cent of damage that I caused. Tell him to write up an invoice and give it to my husband." She knew Matthew would definitely solve her problem.

Watkins smiled at her words.

And his dad was right. He found her absolutely mesmerizing. She didn't seem like a troublemaker. This despite the fact that she went rampaging through his dad's company. "Don't mention it. You saved me last time. This is nothing."

"I just did what I could last time. It's no big deal."

Standing still, Watkins looked at her and said, "I thought you were going to kick the crap out of Tam after he came out of his office. You just made him clear up the rumors. That's not like you."

"Not like me? You think I'm a violent thug or something?" Erica looked back at him in confusion.

Watkins shook his head with a smile. "Well, you did ruin a fair amount of computers all by your lonesome—"
