True Love Waits

Chapter 1266 For The Twelve Billion

Fanya cut one of the medallions of foie gras on her plate elegantly without looking at her daughter. "Why wouldn't she be arrogant? Erica's one of the Li family, a renowned military family in A Country. She's always been a selfish bitch. Now that she got her claws into Matthew Huo, she's even worse," she sneered.

Her words made the food in Phoebe's mouth hard to swallow. Erica's connections made her impossible to touch. Her family was rich and powerful. "If you have any better ideas on how to bring her down, I'm all ears."

'They don't have any better ways of dealing with Erica, do they? Why does it always come down to me?' she thought to herself.

"I had good ideas, but you screwed up everything!" Camille spat. It was an accusatory tone, full of contempt and blame.

She had wanted to build a close relationship with the Huo family, but she was even further from her goal thanks to Tessie and Phoebe.

After a moment's silence, Phoebe gritted her teeth and said, "We could hire someone to..." She dragged her index finger across her throat. A gesture that indicated murder.

Bang! Fanya dropped her knife and fork. The knife and fork hit the plate and made a sharp sound. She stared at her daughter with an expression of astonishment. "Are you crazy, Phoebe Su? Are you seriously threatening a member of the Li family? Do you have a death wish? Are you out of your damn mind?"

Even if they succeeded, they probably wouldn't get away with it. And if Matthew weren't able to figure it out, Wesley and Gifford likely would.

"They'd find out. Matthew, Gifford, Wesley, it doesn't matter who. And they'd come after us. They might kill every last member of the Su family to get back at us."

Phoebe's body trembled, and her face became even paler, if possible. "Okay, okay. Point taken."

Then silence reigned in the dining room of the Su family. Only the sound of knives and forks colliding with the dishes could be heard.

They couldn't even take Erica down after sacrificing the baby in Phoebe's belly. The Su family needed to think this over more carefully.

Phoebe complained of being weak from the miscarriage, so after she was done with dinner, she went upstairs. Her mom and dad followed. Camille got a phone call, so she waited downstairs until she was done. Eventually, she started to climb the stairs herself.

However, as soon as Camille reached the second floor, she heard an earth-shattering scream. "Aaargh!"
