Chapter 1296 - Something's Wrong With Erica

Gifford couldn't help wondering, 'Did Chantel take all the responsibilities in front of my parents alone?' So, he asked, "What did Chantel tell you?"

Blair was about to answer, but Wesley stopped her. He was the one who spoke. "She didn't say much about it. She said it was her fault, and she just forced you to do it. According to her, you were also a victim."

Gifford's face darkened, but it was indeed the truth. Then he said, "If it weren't for that bottle of toxic spray, she couldn't have taken advantage of me."

Wesley was surprised to hear him mention the toxic spray. He thought of something, so he tried to probe, "Was it Erica who gave the spray to Chantel?" Anyway, Erica and Chantel were unable to deal with Gifford in normal circumstances.

Even a dozen women like Chantel and Erica would never be able to control a man like Gifford.

"Mm," Gifford answered sourly.

His reputation was ruined by that toxic spray, so he tried his best to find its source. Unfortunately, he failed.

"Well, let's not talk about those complicated things. The reason why we asked you to come back this time is for you to marry Chantel. Take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage licenses. We have already prepared your residence booklet," said Blair while taking out the residence booklet.

Gifford was forced to take it and asked, "Mom, how can I get our marriage licenses that easily? It's not that simple. I haven't even applied to my superior yet."

She patted his shoulder and smiled kindly. "Don't worry. Your father has already done it for you."

He was in awe. Disbelief was transparent on his face. "Where is the application form then?" he asked.

"Your father has already asked someone to send it to the Civil Affairs Bureau. All you have to do now is go there with Chantel for a personal appearance." Actually, Wesley was dubious about Gifford's possible decision, so he prepared everything for him in advance.

Looking at the residence booklet in his hand, Gifford was at a loss. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It was obvious that his parents were determined to force him if necessary. "Do I have a choice?" he asked.

"No, you don't. So, go now. Chantel is already waiting for you." Blair was the most excited at the moment. Finally, her son was getting married, and her future daughter-in-law was now pregnant. A grandchild was coming very soon. Two happy events happened at the same time.

On the other hand, Gifford was speechless as he was in deep thoughts.

'Is this for real? Am I really going to fall into the hands of a woman? When I brought her back here, I thought that dealing with a woman like her was just a piece of cake. I have never expected that she would set me up, and I would marry her in the end.'

It was still half a month before Yvette's wedding, but Gifford had ended his almost 33 years of singleness.

But since he had always been a busy man, he had never returned home since he got their marriage licenses that afternoon.

Chantel didn't mind his cold attitude. While watching his car disappear, she touched her protruding belly and said to herself, "It's alright, Gifford. I promise that I will study very hard to match you in the future."

Remus and Yvette's wedding was held as scheduled. Although it wasn't as grand as Erica's, it was still one of the most luxurious weddings in A Country.

A day before the wedding, Matthew rented a private plane and took the Huo family members to A Country to attend the wedding. But since there were so many guests, they immediately returned to Y City in the afternoon in order not to add to the Li family's burden.

However, Erica stayed because she wanted to spend more time with her mom. She knew that Blair was a little sad because she and Yvette had already gotten married, and they wouldn't be able to see her more often.

It had been two days since Yvette's wedding was held. Erica and Blair were watching TV in the living room while eating some sunflower seeds and drinking iced fruit juice.

Blair suddenly remembered Chantel, who had been experiencing morning sickness recently, so she couldn't help asking her youngest daughter, "Rika, Chantel is already pregnant. How about you? When are you planning to give me a grandchild?" Erica and Matthew had been married for more than half a year now. Blair thought that it was time for them to have a child.

"Mom, don't worry about us. We are not in a hurry." She wasn't in a hurry because she was rich now! She had thirty billion dollars in her account now after Matthew had transferred her some more money.

She was a rich woman now. With her money, she could buy, eat, and drink anything she liked. Having a child was her last priority for now.

Talking about money, she seemed to have remembered something. She dropped the sunflower seeds in her hand and said, "Mom, wait a minute."

She hurriedly went to her room upstairs and took out a bank card. She then went back downstairs and showed it to Blair while panting. "Mom, there's one hundred million dollars in this account. This is for you and Dad. My sister and I won't always be home to accompany you, and Gifford is always busy too. You and Dad should enjoy yourselves."

"What… did you just say? One hundred million?" exclaimed Blair.

"Yes, you heard it right!" After Erica had lived with Matthew for a long time, one hundred million was just a small amount of money for her now. "Mom, if this is not enough, I can transfer another two hundred million dollars here." She thought for a while before adding in a low voice, "How about five hundred million? Anyway, I have thirty billion right now. Five hundred million is a drop in the bucket for…"

Before she could finish her words, Blair exclaimed again, "Five hundred million?"

Erica blinked and said calmly, "Yes, Mom. I'll transfer the money after I go back to Y City." Since a large amount of money was involved, she couldn't do the transaction online. She had to go to the bank to deal with it.

"No, no, no!" Blair shook her head vigorously. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why would you give us such money? Just keep it. We are not in need of money, anyway." 'Matthew is really rich. Rika can even give us five hundred million dollars as if it's just a small amount, ' she thought.

"No, Mom. You have to accept it. Matthew always reminds me to be a filial daughter to you, and he wants me to support you financially. Besides, you have given me all the betrothal gifts from the Huo family. I have so much money now that I can't even use it up in my lifetime." Erica couldn't help thinking that if one son would use one billion dollars, how many sons did she need to have to spend all her money?

However, Blair put the bank card into Erica's pocket and said, "Keep it for yourself. You always spend money like water. What if you run out of money one day? And remember, Matthew is working hard to earn the money he is giving you. He doesn't just pick money on the street, so don't ask for money from him all the time."

"Mom, I didn't ask for money. He just gave it to me willingly," she replied innocently.
