Chapter 1379 Not Real Friends


    Matthew''s words sent Lucia to the floor on her knees and she begged, "Mr. Huo, I''m sorry. I promise


    that it will never happen again! I know that it was my fault, but..."


    The man didn''t seem to care about the woman''s pleading and he ruthlessly watched her get taken


    away. There were over a thousand people in the cruise ship, but not one person dared to speak for her.


    Matthew whispered in Erica''s ear, "The ship is heading back. We''ll go straight home when it reaches


    the shore."


    "Okay!" She nodded in response.


    "I''ll have someone bring you a fresh set of clothes first."


    "Thanks, but that won''t be necessary. I''ve cleaned up most of the stains with wet tissues. We''ll be


    home soon, so don''t bother!"


    "Fine." Matthew didn''t force her.


    For the remainder of the party, there wasn''t a single man or woman who dared to provoke Erica.


    When Chantel was in the bathroom, Erica took the chance to call Gifford. "Gifford, I think that Chantel


    has offended someone she shouldn''t have because of me. You have to keep her safe."


    "Are you serious? What kind of trouble have you gotten Chantel into now? You''ve already made every


    member of the Li family suffer. Just make trouble for the Huo family if you have nothing better to do!"


    Erica stuck out her tongue and goaded him deliberately, "I didn''t mean to get her in trouble. Are you


    going to help her or not? If you don''t, I''ll find someone to protect her!"


    "Who said I wasn''t going to help her? I know how to take care of my wife. I don''t need your help. You''d


    better worry about having to coax your husband."


    Erica answered proudly, "My husband is not angry with me anymore. Just now, he punished a bad


    woman for hitting on him in front of everyone."


    "Humph, you think too simply of your husband. Just because he is looking out for you doesn''t mean he


    isn''t angry with you. I bet he was just being nice in front of everyone. Wait till you get home, that''s when


    you''ll have to apologize to him." Any good man would look out for his wife in front of others, but it didn''t


    mean that Matthew wasn''t angry at Erica.


    "It doesn''t matter! At least, my husband has shown me enough respect in front of people. I don''t mind


    apologizing to himter when we go home." After returning home, Erica was nning on doing


    whatever Matthew would ask of her without anyint.


    "What''s on your mind? Matthew is not an ordinary man and he is very sessful. Shouldn''t you show


    him respect in public as well? How can you let him act humble around you in public? You''re wrong


    there!" Gifford lectured his sister.


    "No, no, no. Gifford, I disagree. Yes, he is a sessful man, but all men and women are equal. Only


    when he gives me enough respect can I return him the same respect. Don''t you think so?"


    "Um... I guess you''re right." Gifford seemed to have been brainwashed by his sister.


    "Listen, you need to treat Chantel well in the future too. Don''t always try to make her give you face.


    Forget your male chauvinism and just take good care of her. Only in this way will she love you more!"


    Gifford came to his senses and said, "I don''t need you to tell me what to do. She''s my wife. I can take


    care of my own problems. Mind your own business."


    "Okay, don''t forget to keep your wife safe."


    "If there is nothing else, I will hang up." Gifford hung up before Erica could even respond.


    She was rendered speechless. Ever since she came back from Tow Vige, Gifford had been


    indifferent to her. He must have been mat at her about something!


    ''Forget it. Just let him be angry. Chantel will cheer him up for me, '' she thought.


    Erica picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth. A momentter, several women surrounded her and


    looked at her with smile. One of them plucked up the courage to speak and finally said, "Mrs. Huo, we


    want to ask you a question."


    Erica nced at the women in front of her and recognized them instantly. They were the richdies


    who had a good rtionship with the Su family from a few years ago. Now some of them had already


    been married as well.


    The two women she had dealt with earlier were from the entertainment circle, and now this group of


    women was from the business circle. Erica thought to herself, wondering why she was so popr


    among women. ''Why can''t I attract more handsome men instead?''

    Nheless, she still nodded expressionlessly. "Please go ahead!"


    The women approached her with excitement and asked, "Mrs. Huo, how did you get pregnant with four


    sons? Is there some kind of secret? We are all so envious of you!"


    ''Secret?'' Erica nodded and smiled mischievously, "Yes!" ''Of course it''s because my husband is strong


    and has good genes!'' sheughed in her mind.


    "Mrs. Huo, will you please share your secret with us?" After all, if they could sire a few sons as well, the


    richdies wouldn''t have to worry about their status in their husband''s family.


    Erica took out a tissue, wiped her mouth and leaned her head forward.


    Thedies leaned in closer with their ears as if to listen in carefully.


    When Chantel came out from the bathroom, she heard Erica say, "The secret of having four sons... I


    only drank the holy water from a river of Tow Vige in K Country. The origin of the river is a spring that


    has existed for thousands of years. After the baptism of time and nature, it''s said that it''s be a


    river with spirituality. Many women in Tow Vige have been pregnant with three babies, four babies,


    and even eight babies because of drinking the water of that river."


    "What? Really?"


    "Oh my God! Eight babies? How is that possible?"


    "Calm down. There was something on the news about a woman who got pregnant with eight babies!"


    "Yes, I''ve heard of that news as well. It''s a true story based in M Country! Apparently, this kind of thing


    also happens in K Country."


    Erica''s words caused all the women to break into heated discussions.


    Chantel remained silent and shook her head in amusement. How could she not admire that woman''s


    skills? Erica went to Tow Vige for the first time when she was about to give birth. What did her


    pregnancy with four babies have anything to do with the water from the river?


    Besides, Chantel had been to Tow Vige more than ten times, but she had never heard of such


    stories.


    "Mrs. Huo, please give us the specific location of that river."


    "Yes, Mrs. Huo. We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives."


    Erica pretended to be baffled. "Okay!"


    Meanwhile, Matthew, who had been keeping an eye on Erica all this time, thought that Erica was being


    bullied by someone again, so he strode over, leaving his business partners behind.


    He only heard the woman''sst words. "It''s at the entrance of Tow Vige. There is only one entrance


    and the other three paths are surrounded by mountains. The spring wateres down from the


    mountain. If you can live there and drink the water for a few months, you''ll be sure to be pregnant with


    at least a set of twins! If you are lucky enough, giving birth to four babies like me will be a piece of


    cake!"


    "Wow! Thank you so much, Mrs. Huo!"


    "Mrs. Huo, you''re so kind. You''re an angel!"


    "You''re wee. We''re friends. d to be of help," said Erica with a bright smile on her face. ''Not real


    friends at all, '' she sneered in her mind.


    "Yes, yes!"


    Matthew stood still and he couldn''t help but shake his head as he listened to their conversation. ''Just


    another group of brainless women! The only reason why Erica was able to give birth to four babies was


    because of me. Was there any other reason?''
