True Love Waits

Chapter 1251 Read Her The Riot Act

Because she was completely blown away, Erica didn't hear all of what Gifford said. She asked, "You two know each other?"

Chantel thought for a while and asked Erica in surprise, "Isn't your surname Lin?" 'Could she be the Erica I've heard so much about?' she wondered. Erica was confused by her question. "No. Remember? It's Li!"

"What? So you're Rika!" Chantel said with certainty. So at last, she had met the infamous Erica.

"Yeah. So how do you know my brother?" Erica shifted her gaze between Gifford and Chantel in suspicion.

'Why is my brother here looking for Chantel? Did she break the law?'

Ignoring the confusion and astonishment of the two girls, Gifford looked at Chantel and asked, "Why did you turn your phone off?"

"I lost it. It was stolen on the bus. I wanted to send a message to Uncle Wesley with Rika's phone, but her battery was dead," she replied honestly to Gifford.

The man was speechless. He patted his forehead helplessly. "So why are you two staying at this hotel?"

Chantel shot Erica a meaningful glance, and Erica replied instead, "We met outside the gate of the villa, went to dinner, and started talking. We became fast friends, and it was late, so we got a room so we could get some sleep."

'Met outside the gate? Became fast friends?' Gifford didn't believe her at all. He stared at his sister with a fake smile and said, "That's a strange coincidence."

Erica chuckled and nodded, "Yes, that's all it is-coincidence. So, again, how do you know each other? Is she your girlfriend?"

"Not exactly. Remember that girl I brought home? She's Chantel Ye."

Erica was shocked. She had heard from Blair that Gifford had rescued a girl and brought her back home. "What? You're that Chantel? I never knew! Nice to meet you, finally!" She ran to Chantel and looked her up and down.
