Erica only stayed in the Li family's house for two days. She then set off from A Country to Cass.

Matthew had already calculated her arrival time. So, as soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from him. After telling him that she arrived safely, she hung up and went straight to the hotel.

At Orchid Private Club

In the dim VIP room, Matthew was seated silently, staring at the wine in his glass.

With a dissatisfied expression on his face, Sheffield sat down opposite him and said, "Just because you don't have a wife to sleep with tonight, we have to put aside our work and leave our wives to go out with you."

Joshua chuckled, "Don't provoke him, man. Be careful. He might have a life-and-death battle with you later." Everyone could tell that Matthew was not in a good mood.

"Then let's fight it out! Who says I'm afraid of him?" Sheffield poured wine into his glass leisurely.

Harmon echoed his joke and said, "Why not? Matthew has a lot of money anyway. Even if we smash his private room right now, he can have it decorated more luxuriously." They all knew that Matthew had a brawl with Watkins in this room last time. After the fight, he had it renovated, and it looked more luxurious than before.

Matthew shifted his gaze from his glass to Sheffield. His brother-in-law used to be a ladies' man, and he should understand women better, so he asked him, "Why Rika doesn't want me to accompany her?"

He felt like Erica had changed a lot recently. He couldn't even guess what she was thinking.

Sheffield grinned mysteriously and replied, "Look at your poker face. Why don't you learn from me? You should smile more."

"Fuck off!" he cursed ruthlessly.

Sheffield just crossed his legs casually and said, "If I leave now, who can you ask for advice? Joshua? Harmon? Do you think these two can help you analyze Erica?"

Unfortunately, Matthew had to admit that Sheffield was right. He took a sip of his wine. The burning sensation when the liquid passed through his throat was too stimulating.

Joshua and Harmon refuted their so-called ladies' man friend discontentedly. After all, they had been in love and married. They knew how women think too.

But Sheffield just ignored their interruption and said to Matthew, "Tell me what happened recently."

"I have nothing to tell." Too many things had happened recently, and he wasn't in the mood to narrate everything to him.

Sheffield shook his head helplessly and drank the wine from his glass. He thought of annoying Ma

om him forever.

But if she loved him too... he would be the happiest man in this world.

It was a beautiful night in Cass.

Afraid that it might not be safe to go outside, Erica brought her camera on the balcony of the hotel and took pictures of the night sky.

After a while, the female bodyguard came to her and said, "Mrs. Huo, it's time for your midnight snack."

"Okay."

She washed her hands and sat at the table. There was a bowl of bird's nest and some desserts. Although she was in a different country, everything she had been eating was exquisite.

When the female bodyguard was about to leave, Erica suddenly stopped her. "Wait a minute!"

The female bodyguard turned around and looked at her in confusion. "Yes, Mrs. Huo?"

"I'm going to take photos in the Reed Mountain tomorrow. Please go downtown and buy me some rubber bands, a hairpin and a new backpack outside. I spilled water on my backpack just now, so I need a new one. Don't worry about me. I'll be just fine with the other bodyguard here." Her tone was natural and casual.

The female bodyguard hesitated for a moment. But after thinking that it would be awkward for the male bodyguard to buy what she needed, she nodded and said, "Okay, Mrs. Huo."

However, not long after the female bodyguard went out, Erica was gone too.

She went missing.

The male bodyguard reported to Matthew, and he immediately sent a lot of people to look for her even in the Reed Mountain. Unfortunately, they failed to find her.

Matthew had already transferred all his work in the next few days to Evelyn. He had planned to go to Cass to look for Erica and accompany her for the rest of her travel.
