True Love Waits novel Chapter 1211

Hands trembling, Erica answered after a while, "No time. I need to find Tessie and Julianna." She believed she was innocent and she didn't need to be afraid of what the public thought about her. She knew the malicious rumors going viral online were fake.

But she had underestimated the power of a mob mentality!

Matthew insisted, "If you show your face in Y City University now, you could be in danger!" Many media outlets had bought this story and reposted it. It went viral on the Internet. So, most people would know about it by now.

If Erica showed up on the steps of Y City University, she'd be mobbed by angry people who might try to take matters in their own hands.

"But I..."

"Come to my office now. Don't rush off to find Tessie," said Matthew, trying to persuade her patiently. He had to make sure she was safe.

Since he insisted, Erica had to agree first. "Okay."

The driver chauffeured her to ZL Group. Matthew was waiting for her in his office.

Seeing her come in, he got straight to the point. "Mr. Chai just called me."

Erica was stymied for a moment, and then remembered he was the boss of Champion Group. "Oh, why? Did he ask you to cut him a check? It's cool. I did smash the things in his operations department."

"No. That's not why he called me."

"What? Then what did he say to you?" 'Didn't Neville Chai talk to Matthew about the bill?' she wondered.

Matthew fixed his eyes on her face and said, "Mr. Chai said you are interesting. He also asked if you have a sister. You apparently made a good impression."

Erica was thrown for a loop. 'What's wrong with Neville? He really wants a girl like me to be his daughter-in-law? Doesn't he have enough drama in his life?'

"What did you say to him?" Erica bent over his desk, playing with a pen.

"I told him a girl like my wife wouldn't be a good fit for his son."

Matthew didn't expect Erica to be so capable of winning people's hearts. Neville Chai only met her once, but he was already fond of the girl and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law.

"His son?" Erica thought carefully about Watkins' handsome face in her mind, and said, "He's indeed very handsome. I think I will like—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Matthew interrupted, "Think it over before you say anything." His cold voice was full of warning.

Looking at his gloomy eyes, Erica realized that he was right to be annoyed—she shouldn't enjoy talking about another man around her husband. "Ha-ha, it was just a joke."

She put down the pen in her hand, slowly walked up to the man standing in front of the window, and naturally wrapped her arms around his waist. "I have such a handsome husband; why would I be looking at other guys? Ridiculous, don't you think? Matthew?"

The man's anger had vanished when she hugged him, not to mention that she called him Matthew in such a sweet tone.

He reached out his hand, pinched her face, making her mouth an O shape, and scolded coldly, "Be honest with me. I don't like flattery!"

Erica protested and pried his fingers off her face. "Jeez, you don't have to be such a bully! You can't take a compliment?" She rubbed her jaw where he grabbed her.

Speaking of bullying, Matthew had to get back to the point. "Whatever. Don't worry about the news on the Internet. I'll take care of it."

"It doesn't matter. I won't cop to something I didn't do." She was quite strong-willed and determined. She wouldn't back down easily.

Taking a deep look at the slender girl in his arms, Matthew tightened his grip and said, "Okay."
