Watkins fell in love with Camille when he was eighteen. However, she didn't like him because he was not her type. But Watkins' family had a strong background, and Champion Group was more influential and powerful than Su Group in Y City.
Because of this, she wanted him to stay in love with her and wouldn't fall for another woman. So although she had never agreed to be his girlfriend, she hung out with him from time to time.
Phoebe, on the other hand, had always wanted to become Matthew's wife. She tried her best to get closer to him. But since Erica came to his life, her chance of becoming his wife had become slimmer and slimmer. For the sake of the Su family, Camille decided to take over her sister in becoming Mrs. Huo. For Camille's plans, she needed to use Watkins, so she agreed to sleep with him. After that, he pretended to be injured and to be saved by Erica.
That was how the story started. Everything was Camille's idea. From the first time that Erica saved Watkins to the phone call before he went abroad, she knew every detail.
She was also the one who told Watkins to send roses to Erica and pretend that he liked her so much. He even dared to go against Matthew to convince Erica that his feelings were real.
The shooting incident was also her plot. She hired some gangsters to shoot Matthew, and she took the bullets for him to make it appear that she saved his life.
In short, she and Watkins had been working together to destroy Erica and Matthew's relationship.
Erica looked at Camille in shock after hearing the whole story. She couldn't help trembling in rage as she asked, "So, it was really you who planned Matthew's attack?"
Camille's mouth curved into a wild smile. This time, she didn't look aloof anymore. "Yes. I arranged everything. But unfortunately, you didn't feel anything fishy because you are stupid." Actually, if Matthew's men had not caught the two criminals who escaped, she wouldn't have admitted everything to Erica.
'Is she crazy?' Erica wondered inwardly. "You risked your life by taking those bullets just to ruin our marriage. Are you out of your mind?" What if the criminals made a mistake and failed to aim the bullets at her arm? If they hit her heart, she might not be able to survive. This thought gave Erica some goose bumps.
The smile on Camille's face vanished. She stared at her and said coldly, "You can't make an omelet without cracking the eggs."
Erica was rendered speechless. The Su sisters were indeed crazy. First, Phoebe framed her by deliberately falling herself to the ground and had a miscarriage.
Second, Camille took two bullets for Matthew to get his attention and ruin their relationship.
They were willing to do everything just to become Matthew's wife.
"Yes, you are Mrs. Huo. But you are so stupid. You didn't even notice that Watkins approached you on purpose. You can't even tell a person's true colors. If I were you, I would stay away from Matthew. He doesn't deserve someone like you at all." Seeing the sudden change in Erica's facial expression elated Camille.
She added, "You even fell into Phoebe's trap when she asked Matthew to get Nathan's things in her apartment. Erica Li, you are the most stupid person I have ever met.
Do you even know that Matthew really loves you?"
The question made Erica raise her head suddenly. She looked at Camille and asked, "What… did you just say?"
Camille found her reaction hilarious. Even Phoebe, who had a swollen face, mocked at her rudely, "Camille is right, Erica. You are stupid. Everyone knows that Matthew is in love with you, except you. You are the dumbest person in the whole world."
'Matthew is in love with… me? Not with Phoebe?'
Erica felt like her heart was clenched tightly. All of a sudden, everything that Matthew had done for her flashed back in her memory. First, although he was only forced to marry her, he arranged everything, even the sedan chair for their wedding. Then he treated Ethan like his own son, and treated her like a queen. He even spent time to cook for her.
He also helped her silently when it came to Tam and Tessie. When she asked him to conspire with her against Gifford, he did his best to help without any complaints.
Everything that she had taken a fancy to during the auction was also sent to her. When she sued Phoebe, he didn't say anything against it. After thinking about it carefully, she now realized why Matthew had held off the case. He already knew that she had gone to Watkins for help and not to him, so he was jealous.
It dawned on her in an instant. All things made sense to her now.
However, every time she said that Phoebe was the woman he loved, he didn't deny it. And there was still one question that lingered in her mind: was Matthew really the father of the baby in Phoebe's belly? Clenching her fists, she plucked up the courage to ask Phoebe, "Who is the father of the baby in your belly?"
Her voice sounded weak, but the Su sisters heard it.
"Ha-ha! I know you are going to ask. Of course, it's Nathan. Do you really believe that Matthew would sleep with his best friend's woman?" Thinking that they had finally won this round, Phoebe's and Camille's moods lightened up.
Then Camille said, "Matthew has long known that you are not responsible for Phoebe's miscarriage and that she was conniving with Watkins to scheme against you. But he never told you, and he even let her stay in Y City to make you feel guilty every day. Perhaps he doesn't really love you that much."
This time, Erica was startled. Her mood was like a roller coaster.
She never thought that Matthew had already known her innocence all this time.
With a smug smile on her face, Phoebe said, "Erica Li, how can Matthew deserve an idiot like you? If I were you, I would not hesitate to kill myself."
Camille burst into laughter upon hearing Phoebe's words.
After being quiet for a while, Erica ordered her bodyguards in a calm voice, "Take Phoebe to the slum where Tessie is. Ask Matthew for the exact location of the place. Make sure that she won't be able to come back to Y City for the rest of her life."
"Erica Li, how dare you!" But before Phoebe could say anything more, the two bodyguards already dragged her to the car.
Erica then turned to Camille and said, "I initially want to sue you, but I'm afraid that you will also cause trouble like Phoebe, so I change my mind. You are always cold and aloof in front of everyone. Your arrogance makes you feel like no one else can be better than you. I know a small village in M Country. I think that place is quite suitable for you. After all, you can have a peaceful life there. If you want to visit the town, it will take you a day by carriage." She then ordered her other bodyguards, "Take her away."
"Yes, Mrs. Huo!"
"Erica Li!" Camille screamed. "How dare you send me away! You're crazy!" The bodyguards covered her mouth and dragged her into the car. "Mmph!" She continued to struggle.
Since the Su sisters were now taken away, Erica allowed the driver of the Su family to leave. She was left with the four bodyguards guarding her.
She just sat there quietly, looking at the garden across the road, with confusion in her eyes.
The Su sisters had indeed succeeded in making her realize how stupid she was. She failed to find out that they all made a fool out of her. She even kept on fighting with Matthew because of them.
As she thought of Matthew, a bitter smile appeared on her face. Her heart ached. It was not easy to fall in love with a person, but she was far from worthy of him.
At this moment, she finally understood how Chantel felt. She was in love with Gifford but always said that she didn't deserve him.
She even scolded Chantel before because for her, as long as she loved a person, she deserved him.
Now she realized she was wrong. She didn't deserve Matthew at all.
