Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1152 Illegitimate Child

"Of course I'll choose to go meet my idol Aaron! It's such a rare opportunity!" Erica said excitedly. Then, she continued in a softer tone, "There will be a lot of other activities for live-action shooting in the future, so it doesn't matter if I miss this one. Anyway, is the news you got reliable? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm not sure. Someone said that in a group chat on WeChat," Hyatt replied with uncertainty.

"I see. Anyway, please help me check when Aaron will arrive at ZL Group."

"Sure." Hyatt took out his phone and browsed his chat log. "It says he'll be there from 3 to 5 p.m."

"Got it!"

Just then, Erica noticed a familiar figure walking toward them.

She was still hesitating over whether to say hello when that person noticed her as well.

Their eyes met. 'Although she was cold to me last time, we used to be on good terms. I should go greet her anyway, ' Erica thought. Then, she took a step forward and spoke first. "Hi, Phoebe!"

Phoebe looked at her just as indifferently as last time. "Ms. Li, please don't be so informal with me from now on. We're not that close."

Erica nodded hesitantly. "Okay, I just want to ask if I did anything to offend you."

"You are a good actress, aren't you?" Phoebe sneered.

Feeling even more confused than before, Erica asked, "Why do you say that?" It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and either way, she had never lied to Phoebe or caused her any trouble. She had no idea why Phoebe's attitude toward her had changed all of a sudden.

"You can continue to pretend. Someday, I will tell everyone what you did! Then the whole world will know what kind of person you actually are!"

Erica could clearly see a touch of loathing in Phoebe's eyes.

Beginning to get annoyed by the latter's vague words, she asked, "You say I'm pretending, but can you tell me what exactly I've done? Why am I a good actress?"

Phoebe bit her lip and said, "Well, let me ask you, what happened to my younger sister?"

At the mention of Tessie, Erica fell into silence. She had promised Tessie that she would never tell her family anything.

However, mistaking her silence for guilt, Phoebe said, "I feel sorry for Matthew for having you as his wife! He is such an excellent man, but why did he marry a bad woman like you?"

For Erica, that was the last straw. "

ok me for another woman. I said Paige's name and he didn't stop. But then when I said Phoebe's name, he immediately stopped his advances." As she narrated the incident, Erica suddenly remembered how Matthew had called her "honey" at that time. His sweet voice had melted her heart then.

"If that's the case, then... Well, it is too much of a coincidence." 'The woman in Rika's husband's heart is the elder sister of Rika's best friend? That's really too dramatic!' Rhea sighed inwardly.

"But as you said, I don't have any evidence, so I can't be sure. Forget it! The point is, Phoebe was very rude to me today! She even called Ethan an illegitimate child! She'll definitely regret this one day."

"Exactly! By the way, where's Hyatt? Is he with you now?" Rhea asked.

Erica glanced at the man walking next to her with his head down. "Yes."

"Put him on the phone!"

"Rhea wants to talk to you," Erica said to Hyatt before handing him the phone.

Hyatt smiled as he put the phone up to his ear. "Hi, Rhea."

"Hi, good boy. Remember to take good care of Rika in Y City. If she gets bullied by anyone, I will get even with you!"

"Yes, got it!"

"Good. Go to class now. Call me when you come back to A Country one day. I'll buy you a cup of U Loveit." It was no secret that this was Hyatt's favorite brand of milk tea.

He scratched the back of his head shyly and said, "Thanks. But Erica already bought me a cup last time."

"That's her treat. It has nothing to do with me. As long as you take good care of Erica, I will treat you myself someday!"

"Okay then."
