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.

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?" action
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 hersel

Another sleepless night passed.
On the third night, for the sake of the twelve billion, Erica popped more pills and cried. "I don't think I can... Boo...hoo..."
The man pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Twelve billion..."
"Well...maybe for that much..." Sure enough! Human beings work themselves to death to get a little extra cash.
After getting out of bed the next morning, Erica immediately bought herself an insurance policy worth a ton. She was afraid that she would not get anything if she died in bed.
She wasn't thinking of herself, though. The beneficiaries were Wesley and Blair.
A few days later, when Erica was photographing a large patch of flowers in the suburbs, she received a call from the maid in the Su family.
The maid sobbed the moment the call was connected. "Mrs. Huo, they found out. They knew I let you in. Now they are going to run me in for attempted murder. What should I do?" Her words devolved into sobs.
"The snake wasn't poisonous, right? What makes it attempted murder?" Erica was very angry.
