NovelEnglish"Fine. Forget it!" The man called Ted, cast a sideways glance at the black Emperor car not too far away. He caught a glimpse of the man standing in front of them and a sudden chill went down his spine. Tiny beads of sweat breaking out of his hands and face indicated his earnest wish to retreat.
However, a tall, lanky figure from one of the men standing behind him persisted. He gave Ted a pat on the back and whispered, "We can't just let her go. If that woman calls the police, it's all over!"
Just as the four bandits were hesitating, about seven or eight cars pulled over right in front of them. In an instant, more than a dozen bodyguards, all dressed in black, burst out of the cars, guns fully locked and loaded.
The man in charge ran over to Matthew, while his subordinates followed and bowed his head before him. "Mr. Huo, I apologize to you on behalf of my men for being late."
Glancing at the four bandits, Matthew ordered in a cold voice, "These guys have made the big mistake of scaring my wife. I want you to get rid of them all!"
"Yes! Mr. Huo!"

On the way, Erica repeated the same question a few times. "What are you going to do with them?"
Matthew didn't answer her at first. After his patience had run out, he finally answered, "That's none of my concern."
"What do you mean, it's none of your concern? You're the one who gave the order!"
He looked at her with indifference and said, "I'm not getting my hands dirty. What happens to them has nothing to do with me."
Erica sighed in defeat. It seemed pointless to go around in circles on the matter.
When they returned to the villa, Erica suddenly remembered what had happened in the bedroom just now. She blushed and clutched at the corners of her dress, seemingly ashamed. "I want to sleep in the dormitory tonight." She was quite shaken up by him. She was so out of it at the time that he almost succeeded in doing what he wanted to do.
"There's no need to avoid me. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I won't be back until next week. Go upstairs and get some sleep!" Matthew wanted to tell her about his trip, but he didn't have the chance to tell her as they had ended up getting into an argument.
"What?" 'Why is it so sudden?'
Ignoring her this time, Matthew turned around and went upstairs with an extremely cold attitude.
Just as Matthew had said, they slept as usual that night, and he disappeared the next morning.
Soon, it was time to hand i action
es, even the clothes he was wearing were the same color as the clothes Hyatt had worn when Erica had photographed him that day.
As Erica had retouched the pictures a lot, it was hard to tell whether it was Hyatt or Kaitlyn's boyfriend in them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmProfessor Feng's face darkened. "Erica Li, please sit down first. I want to see you in my office after class!"
But Erica wouldn't give in. She continued to ask Kaitlyn, "Where did you take the photos? What kind of lens did you use? Who can testify?"
Kaitlyn answered her questions smoothly, "Well, if you have to know. It was taken on the Archaic Street near the school. I can tell you the house number, it's No. 88. No one has lived in that small yard for a long time, so I filtered the photo into the retro film style. I used the new universal zoom lens T14 produced by Blue Sky Technology."
Everything Kaitlyn had said was true, word by word. Indeed, Erica and Hyatt had taken the photos at the exact same address Kaitlyn had mentioned.
After all, Hyatt's generally shy and meek disposition wouldn't allow him to be a model in public. As such, Erica had to find a quiet place for him to shoot. Therefore, she chose an abandoned courtyard.
Erica remained unfazed. "Can you show us the original pictures?"
"Of course! And what about you? Since you're claiming that it's your work. Why don't you show yours to everyone?" Kaitlyn looked at Erica with eagerness as she picked up her camera.
Erica responded immediately by opening her camera directory and finding the album.
However, when Erica scrolled through her camera, she was stunned, as though struck by lightning.
All the photos of Hyatt in her camera were gone!
