True Love Waits

Chapter 1124 Your Husband Is Awesome

When Reese realized that Matthew was staring at her, she stuttered, "H-here's the thing... Mr. Huo, people say you didn't come with Erica to visit her parents after your wedding. But Erica insisted you did. So we made a bet."

"How much did she bet?" Matthew asked.

"A hundred thousand dollars," replied Reese in a timid voice.

"No, it was five hundred grand!" Erica retorted loudly. Now that Matthew was here, she could make Reese pay. "If she lost, she'd only pay a hundred grand. She pushed me into putting up five hundred grand if I lost. Kinda unfair, don't you think?"

Matthew glanced at his wife and said, "Aren't you Miss Troublemaker? I didn't know you were that easy to bully."

Erica gave him an embarrassed smile. How could she be forced into that so easily? She wasn't normally that simple to push around. On impulse, she had agreed to Reese's terms without a second thought. "You always harass my wife like this?" he asked. He didn't look at Reese this time.

Reese and Erica were the closest to Matthew's car. Even Rhea stood a fair distance away. So Reese knew he was talking to her.

She was taken aback by his question. "H-harass her? I didn't do anything like that, Mr. Huo. Erica agreed to the bet herself."

"You lost the bet. And it isn't really fair that she bet five hundred grand and you only have to pay a hundred grand. Sounds to me like you're bullying my wife," Matthew said calmly.

Reese gasped. She was no fool and she understood exactly what Matthew meant. "Mr. Huo, go easy on me. I'm just a college student. I don't have that much money..."

Erica rolled her eyes and exposed her lies. "She has the money. She has tons of boyfriends. She can get the money from them."
