BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1123 My Husband Is Waiting To Take Me Home
Erica laughed instead of getting angry. "How about this? Let\'s make a bet. If Matthew is really here, you owe me one hundred thousand dollars. If he isn\'t, I\'ll give you two hundred grand! How does that sound?"
"One hundred thousand? Wow, what a greedy bitch you are!" Although Reese was from a rich family, she wasn\'t rich enough to squander one hundred thousand without a second thought.
"Tsk, tsk. I thought you had a boyfriend? One with a fat wallet? What? My bet too rich for your blood?" \'Maybe not just one boyfriend, but probably a few, \' Erica thought disdainfully.
An embarrassed look appeared on Reese\'s face. "What about you? You\'re Mrs. Huo. You\'re stinking rich. But you offer up a measly two hundred thousand dollars. That\'s a bit stingy, don\'t you think?"
"Okay. How much are we talking, then?"
"Five hundred grand!"
"Sounds good! When I\'m done here, I\'ll take you to my home and show you what Matthew Huo looks like. I hope you won\'t be too jealous. He\'s my husband now. So there\'s no point in crying over it." Although Matthew wasn\'t actually at the Li family house now, Erica was sure that Reese wouldn\'t call her bluff and show up at her doorstep.
Moreover, she was playing with words. She didn\'t say that Matthew was around TODAY, so she could take Reese to her house tomorrow if the girl insisted.
\'Don\'t be too jealous?\' Easier said than done. Reese was really envious of Erica. This notorious Miss Troublemaker was so lucky to get married to Matthew Huo! How could she not be jealous?
The Li family and the Huo family were good friends. Reese believed that Erica\'s parents pushed for the marriage and the Huo family didn\'t want to turn them down, so they agreed to it. "What if you run away?"
Erica rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is like you? Matthew promised me that he would stay here with me for a few days. Be
l you anything about my schedule?"
His cold tone sent a chill down Reese\'s spine. "I\'m sorry, Mr. Huo," she apologized, her face pale.
"Since you are my wife\'s schoolmate, I won\'t bother with it this time. I got here at 11 this morning. What\'s the matter?"
"No, no. Nothing..." Reese had embarrassed herself. In her mind, she cursed those people who spread the rumor that Matthew hadn\'t come back to the Li family together with Erica. She then took out her phone to transfer the money to Erica.
Erica was totally incredulous. Matthew cooperated with her and lied to Reese for her. He wasn\'t just a good guy. He was an awesome one.
When she completed the transfer, Reese bit her lower lip and told Erica, "I\'ve wired you the money. A hundred grand."
When she was about to leave, Matthew suddenly stopped her. "Wait a minute!"
All eyes were on him.
He asked, "What was the bet?"
Everyone looked at each other after hearing what he said. No one dared say a word.
Even Erica was quiet. And it wasn\'t because she was afraid. It was because she was embarrassed.
After a significant pregnant pause, no one answered him. With a livid face, Matthew ordered, "Tell me!"
The girls were frightened by the simple order coming from the angry man. He was giving off a terrible aura.
Erica replied at once, "The bet was—"
"I didn\'t ask you," Matthew interrupted her. "It\'s not for you to say anything. You\'re not in trouble. They might be."
Erica was dumbfounded. \'Why is he so protective of me?\'
