Erica felt that Alex had a point. If her mother didn’t take the blame, she would have to bear the guilt along with her. Hence, it was only if Naomi confessed to her crimes and cleared Erica’s accusations would she be able to have a good life.
“Stop working overtand chwithtonight. | miss you.” Erica was a little afraid of spending the night alone as she had just pushed Mrs. Garner into the sea that morning. Besides, she knew that Mrs. Garner had no chance of survival. Would she turn into a ghost to haunt her at night? She needed his luck.

“Alex, | need you. Can you stay withtonight?” Erica embraced him. “I'm too scared to sleep alone.” Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he could only agree to her. While Erica was in the restroom, Alex sent a message to Hayley saying that he had to cancel their date that night.
At that moment, Hayley had already hurriedly dressed up for her romantic night with Alex. Now that he was not coming, her mood was ruined. Is Erica pestering him? Mockery flashed in her eyes at that thought. Is she trying to pick a fight with me? She continued to bombard Alex with messages, telling him to turn down Erica and cto her side before she got angry.
Alex was caught in the middle of two women fighting for his favor. If it were in the past, he might've thought that it was his fortune, but now he only felt irritated. While Erica used the restroom, he began to cup with a plan for divorce as well. If not, it would be troublesif Erica refused to leave him after he got his hands on the money.
He felt that Erica seemed to be uneasy that night, as if she had done something wrong. Though she said that she was afraid to spend the night alone, Alex thought that this was an opportunity to lead her into making a mistake. He had a relatively young assistant from the finance department who was also quite handsand had a sly and brave personality that he could take advantage of.
When Erica was getting off work, Alex anxiously told her that he had to meet a client and might only be able to cback from Belros the next morning.

As she watched the sun set in the distance, she began to feel a chill down her spine as her mind filled with Mrs. Garner's horrified expression as she fell into the water. Her grip tightened around her clothes in fear as she got into her car and wondered, Who should | look for tonight? Who can stay with me? She then thought of Hayley, the only person who was still in contact with her. With that, she instantly reached for her phone and dialed Hayley’s number. “Hello? Hayley, are you free tonight? | want to invite you to cand spend a night at my house.” “Tonight? I'm not free, though. I'm going to meet a friend later.” “What friend? Is it important? Can you cancel your plans and meet with me? I'll treat you to a feast and we can go to a bar after.” “I really can't. It's a really important friend of mine. I'm sorry, Erica. Have fun at the bar!” Hayley made it clear that she wouldn't be able to come. After all, she had a date with Alex that night! As she sat in her car, Erica felt herself tremble. She could only drive aimlessly around the city, but as it started to get late, she called Alex, who was by Hayley’s side at the stime. He comforted her before telling her that one of his employees was going to the Tillman Residence to deliver sdocuments.
“How about this, Erica? I'll ask my assistant to chat with you first. If there’s nothing else, I'm hanging up.” Saying that, he ended the call.
Hence, Erica could only contact his assistant. It was then that she heard an attractive and young male voice. “Miss Tillman, I'm on my way to your house. Where are you?” Immediately, she felt her heart skip a beat. This assistant’s voice sounds so pleasing! And he seems young too!
