Chapter 1213 A Man I Didn''t Love


    "Let''s talk about thatter. Right now, answer me this! When are we going to be a real married


    couple?" Matthew was not satisfied with the girl''s nonsense. If she continued to act like this, he would


    really just sleep with her right then and there!


    "I heard from someone that you are a scheming Scorpio." That someone was Matthew''s own sister,


    Terilynn.


    As far as Erica knew, Scorpio men were usually cold and powerful, arrogant and indifferent; the


    description was exactly in line with Matthew''s personality. He was a typical Scorpio!


    "I don''t know much about what these signs mean, but my birthday is on November 20th. So, I guess


    that makes me a Scorpio."


    He also knew that Erica''s birthday was on August 10th. She was a Leo, and was indeed an outgoing


    and energetic Leo girl.


    Erica calcted with her fingers. His birthday was only a few days away, about half a month or so. She


    blinked and finally answered his most concerned question. "How about we wait until your birthday?"


    Matthew was very satisfied with that date. With a deep smile in his eyes, he said, "Alright then. Stay out


    of trouble till that dayes!"


    "I know!" Half a month should be enough for her to make some mental preparation. If she was still


    afraid of having sex with him, she could sneak back to A Country.


    "I have no choice but to believe you for the time being," Matthew said with a smirk.


    "Hey! You know what... I read a book about the 12 zodiac signs. It said that a Scorpio man and a Leo


    woman don''t match well. What do we do?" Erica tilted her head and frowned.


    The man''s eyes darkened slightly and his tone became domineering. "What is that? I don''t believe crap


    written in a book by some lunatic! I''m the master of my own fate. It''s not up to a book of zodiac signs to


    decide whether we make a good match or not. I will decide that! If I say we make a good match, then


    we do."


    Ericaughed. "Don''t you believe in the theories of the 12 zodiac signs?"


    "I don''t."


    If the zodiac book had said that they would make a good pair, he would have believed it.


    But since it said the opposite, he had no reason to believe a word of it!


    Erica chuckled and kissed him on the cheek gently. "So, you think we match?"


    "I''m a hundred percent sure that we are a perfect match. I''m very lucky to have found you!" Matthew


    smiled.


    ''Wait a second. Why do I feel like I''ve heard that somewhere?'' Erica tried to recollect.


    Then, she remembered. "Did Mr. Chai tell you that?" she asked, raising her brow in question. At that


    time, in Champion Group, she had told Neville that Matthew had said that they were lucky to have


    found each other. It was a lie; Matthew had never said something like that.


    Matthew said, "No. I just said what was on my mind."


    Erica rolled her eyes. ''Does he take me for an idiot?''


    Matthew kissed her lips again and put her down. "Now, tell me what they did to you yesterday." Only


    after fully knowing what they had done to Erica could he n on how to deal with them.


    The people who had hurt Erica were in for some pain, and they were about to go through hell, suffering


    ten times more than what Erica had to endure.


    It was upsetting for her to think that she had been pped in her face. She felt embarrassed to speak


    about it. Finally, after some hesitation, she whispered, "I was pped in the face by that girl..."


    As Matthew ran his fingers across her smooth face, his eyes shed with malice.


    He was going to punish each one of them. Julianna, Tessie and the woman who had pped Erica!


    They were going to pay for messing with his wife. After this, no one would dare touch her or even think


    of hurting her ever again.


    Erica didn''t know about this, but Matthew had silently handled many of the WeChat and Weibo


    ounts that had spread the news. He always warned them first before wiping them out.


    And if he could solve a problem using money, he wouldn''t hesitate to do that either.


    If money couldn''t solve it, he had other ways to handle them. When the ount holders thought that


    their lives were in danger, they spilled the truth about the source of the video.


    And just like that, the rumor about Erica''s campus violence was quickly solved. Not only did Matthew


    take down all the edited videos and fake news on the Inte, he also posted the full original video of


    what had happened that day on ZL Group''s official Weibo ount. More than fifty million fans of the


    ount instantly forwarded it in a crazy frenzy.


    ZL Group also ended up on the top search list.


    The original video showed Erica being besieged by twelve people in the beginning. Two girls dragged


    Erica to the sink and tried to drown her in the cold water. She struggled and broke free. To defend


    herself, Erica drenched the other girl under the faucet instead. The truth was out for everyone to see


    now.


    The video continued to show some of the girl''spanions trying to undress her, while the others took


    pictures of her. Obviously, it was all an act. Later, the girl in lead pped Erica. That was when Erica


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    fought back and pped the other girl five times!


    After the whole video was unleashed, theizens changed their attitude towards Erica. They were


    now proud of her and were d that she had fought back against those bullies. They thought of Erica


    as a badass character now.


    Most of the people who had earliershed at her in thement zone of her Weibo ount


    apologized for their incorrect judgment.


    At the entrance of Y City University


    "Tessie!" After waiting for a long time, Erica finally saw Tessie walk into the campus.


    Tessie tried to dodge Erica, but thetter followed her in.


    The students near the entrance saw Erica and whispered among themselves. "Isn''t that Erica Li? She''s


    the violent girl who bullied and pped someone in the campus, right?"


    "Violent girl? Haven''t you read thetest news on the Inte yet? The official ount of ZL Group


    posted the full video. Erica was forced to do that. It was the other party who had started the violence!"


    "Really? Show me the video!"


    "Here, look. See how she was bullied by those girls. Erica fought back by pping that girl five times!


    She''s so cool. I''m her fan now!"


    Erica heard their discussion, but didn''t pay much attention to them.


    At that moment, the only person she was interested in was Tessie.


    And Tessie knew that she couldn''t escape from Erica anymore; she had to face her.


    They got into Matthew''s car. He was waiting for Erica in the driver''s seat.


    The two girls sat in the back seat. Tessie saw Matthew in the front seat and she was frightened by his


    cold aura. Her hands trembled involuntarily.


    She took a deep breath and apologized, "I''m sorry, Erica. I know you are mad at me, but I had no


    choice..."


    She was still trying to take advantage of Erica''s tender heart and her kindness. She pretended to be


    apologetic so that Erica would forgive her.


    "Don''t tell me you had no choice! Tessie, is our friendship so cheap to you?" Erica looked at the


    woman, her eyes filled with loss.


    Tessie started to cry and exined to her, "No, it''s not like that, Erica. I didn''t want to use you, but


    nobody would have believed me if I had put the me on someone else!" Erica was known as Miss


    Troublemaker. She was so arrogant andwless, and anyone would believe that it was normal for her


    to do something violent in campus.


    It turned out that Tessie''s lie did work at the beginning. Everyone in the Su family, and even Julianna


    believed her version of the story.


    Erica sneered, "Wow. I didn''t know that my reputation was so bad. Tessie, I took the me for you. My


    reputation is ruined because of you. I lied to my parents; I told them that I gave birth to Ethan, so that


    they would treat your son as their own grandson. My mother pped me when I told them this..." Erica


    choked. Her eyes brimmed with tears.


    She had thought about telling the truth to her family because Wesley had always been a man of


    integrity. She was afraid that her father would bepletely disappointed in her. But she also knew


    that he would never let her name be dragged through the dirt. But either way, she had imagined that


    her mother would be supportive. To her surprise, ir had been the first one to p her in the face.


    It was because of that p that she had stubbornly refused to exin the situation to her parents at


    that time. She had been misunderstood until this day.


    The girls cried in the back seat. Erica didn''t know if Tessie really regretted her actions. But whatever


    her case, her crying didn''t arouse any sympathy from Erica.


    "I had to go through so much trouble because of you. My father made me marry a man I didn''t love. I


    am not even 22 yet!" She was still like a minor, living under the protection of her parents. But she had


    to get married so early because of the baby.


    Fortunately, she got married to Matthew. He had always been nice to her and she felt very lucky.


    She didn''t regret it now. Her father had chosen the best man for her.


    ''A man I didn''t love...'' Matthew''s grip tightened on the phone as he repeated her words in his mind. He


    had to adjust his mood to continue with his work.
