Chapter 1416 The Benefactor Of The Huo And Li Families

"If it weren't for Orange, I would have been put behind bars. I owe him a lot. In fact, I don't know if I would be able to get out of there at all if it weren't for him. Can you imagine what would have happened if your sons were born in a jail cell? I didn't even know where they would be taken after they were born. We both owe Orange for the lives of our boys!"

Erica said seriously. If Matthew allowed Erica to continue, he wondered whether she would make it seem like Orange had been a benefactor to both the Huo and Li families?

Sure enough, before he could speak, Erica wiped her tears with the back of her hand and continued, "Just thinking about it makes me nervous. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night because of the guilt. If I had somehow managed to get out of jail, the first thing I would do is find my sons. If I had failed to find them, I would have come back to ask you for help. Surely, if the Huo and Li families knew that their grandsons were missing, they would have lost sleep, same as me. So, technically, if you think about it, Orange is the benefactor of both the Huo family and the Li family." Lo and behold, Erica had managed to make it look like Orange was the benefactor of the two families.

"Since Orange has been of great help to both of the families, each family will send one person to avenge him. Gifford is chosen from the Li family and the person from the Huo family is me. You don't need to get yourself involved in all this. You should just focus on running your studio and finally finishing school," Matthew dismissed her.

Erica had delayed her study because she had run away from home for more than three years. However, as education was paramount, they had reached an agreement to let her go to school for further study. Erica was stunned by Matthew's response. The only reason why she took the time to explain everything to him was that she wanted him to know how much the matter of avenging Orange meant to her. Why was Matthew making light of the situation? Why was he so unsupportive of her wish to avenge Orange?

In the end, however, Erica managed to persuade Matthew to agree with her, despite his reluctance, using both hard and soft tactics. But they agreed that Matthew would always accompany her in person if she were to take action in the future.

In another villa in Y City

Michel slowly pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and stared pensively at the red wine in the glass. Behind his glasses, there was unconcealed viciousness in his eyes. "What's wrong with the truck?" The man next to him reported, "We've checked the truck, and there was nothing wrong with it. The car our men were chasing was the first one to run a red light, and our men's car was just behind it. Then our men's car crashed into the truck."

Two of their people died on the spot, but the truck driver survived the crash with minor injuries.

If their people hadn't died, they would have caught up to the people they were chasing and who knew what would have happened after that.

"So there was nothing wrong with the truck?" Michel asked.

"I believe so."
