Chapter 1141: Erica's First Day At The Academy

Erica shut up, feeling very wronged. All she had done was procrastinate a little, but it seemed that in Matthew's eyes, she had become a huge baby that couldn't take care of herself. On top of that, he didn't allow her to talk and even threatened to divorce her if she did. '

Argh! This is so unfair, ' she complained to herself.

Matthew grabbed a new towel, wiped her feet roughly, and then carried her out of the bathroom.

Reaching the bed, he threw her onto it without any tenderness.

"Ouch!" Erica rolled to the center of the bed and sprawled out on it.

Matthew's voice was as cold as usual as he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to be my woman? As you wish! Put on the new nightgown while I take a bath. I want to see you in it when I come out."

Then, he began unbuttoning his shirt. Erica sat up on the bed in a hurry and smirked at him. "Um, the nightgown is...gone."

"What do you mean it's gone?" he asked, frowning.

"I regret saying that I wanted to be your woman. I don't want to do it anymore, so I..." Erica couldn't finish her words, so she took the gift box on the bedside table and opened it.

She blinked mischievously and said with a smug smile, "As you can see..."

Matthew took two steps forward and found that the nightgown which had been folded neatly inside the gift box before had been shredded into pieces. Erica didn't want to wear it, so, fearing that Matthew would force her to put it on, she had cut it into pieces when he wasn't in the room.

She had thought that she was being very smart. She waited for Matthew to get angry at her, but he didn't.

By now, Matthew's shirt was fully unbuttoned, revealing his toned chest. "Good," he said simply.

"What?" Erica was confused.

Matthew cast her a cold glance. "I'm not interested in you, anyway."

Erica should have been glad to hear this; after all, everything was going her way. But for some reason, she froze. Then, forcing a smile on her face, she said awkwardly, "What a coincidence!"

This time, Matthew didn't even look at her. With a cold expression on his face, he took his shirt and walked into the bathroom.

That night, as usual, they slept on the same bed but with different thoughts on their minds. Early the next morning, Erica was woken up by a voice calling her name. "Erica Li."

In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw Matthew, who was standing neatly dressed and looking at her from the bedside. "Go to school later. Then, attend Nathan's seventh day ceremony with me this afternoon."

"Okay," she answered sleepily and closed her eyes again.

Matthew shook his head in resignation. 'Never mind. I'll call her at noon, ' he thought.

By the time Erica woke up again, Matthew had already left for work. She was used to this already. Every day when she woke up, Matthew would have left for work long back.

At Y City Film Academy

Erica had already added the student who was to welcome her on WeChat. When she was about to arrive at the school, the student texted her saying that he was waiting for her at the gate of the girls' dormitory.

The brand-new black Emperor car drove slowly through the campus, attracting many envious gazes.

The students of the Film Academy often saw luxurious cars at the gate of the school, but the school management was so strict that few cars were allowed to enter the school and drive all the way to the dormitories.

The Emperor car stopped at the gate of the girls' dormitory. The two boys waiting for Erica exchanged glances with each other and then walked toward the car.

A bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door for Erica, who jumped out of the car wearing pink sportswear.

One of the boys stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, are you Erica Li?"

Erica nodded at him and smiled back. "Yes. You are Morton He, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Erica Li!"

"Nice to meet you too, Erica. This is Skeet Wang, the director of the secretarial department of the Student Union."

Knowing that Erica Li was Matthew Huo's wife, Skeet Wang adjusted his glasses and greeted her nervously. "Welcome to Y City Film Academy, Erica. The principal arranged for us to take you to your dorm room. Come, we'll help you with your luggage. Where is it?"

Erica turned back and looked at a black Bentley Mulsanne which rolled to a stop behind the Emperor car. She pointed to the luxury car that was worth millions and said, "The car I came in doesn't have a trunk, and I have a lot of things, so I've brought them in that car."

Morton He and Skeet Wang were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out. Although they were surrounded by wealthy people at the school, they had never seen someone use a luxury car to transport luggage before. 'Mrs. Huo is so extravagant, ' they both thought.

But the truth was, Erica had so little knowledge about cars that she had no idea how much the Bentley Mulsanne cost. She had merely told the driver that she needed one more car for her luggage, and he had arranged a Bentley Mulsanne.

Matthew had dozens of luxury cars in his garage, among which the Bentley Mulsanne was relatively cheap.

The two male students and the bodyguard took the luggage from the second car, and then walked to the girls' dormitory.

Erica walked ahead with her handbag slung on her back. The two male students and the bodyguard followed behind her.

These four people attracted many girls' attention.

A lot of people had invested in Y City Film Academy, so the teaching equipment, the staff, and the canteens were all the best in the city. Moreover, it was the alma mater of a lot of popular stars, so there was a lot of competition to get admitted into this school.

Erica's dormitory room was on the third floor. There were four people staying in it, including her.

There were two pink wooden bunk beds inside the room. One of the upper bunks was Erica's.

The principal had asked her about her preference, and she had chosen the upper bunk.

Knowing that Matthew Huo's wife was going to stay with them, her roommates were all waiting for her arrival.

It was not appropriate for male students and outsiders to linger in the girls' dormitory for too long, so Morton He, Skeet Wang, and the bodyguard left after putting Erica's luggage inside her room.

Once they were outside the building of the girls' dormitory, Morton He and Skeet Wang watched the two luxurious cars drive away. "I want to become friends with Erica!" Skeet Wang said excitedly.

Morton He sneered. "You? Aren't you afraid that Matthew Huo would kill you?"

"It won't go that far! I just want to become friends with her. Nothing else." Of course, Skeet Wang knew the real reason why Morton He had sneered at him. There was a huge difference between his status and Erica's. However, he was still unhappy with the way Morton He looked down on him.

"Let's go! Your first class is about to begin," Morton He said. The two boys left.

In the dormitory room, Erica greeted the three other girls, and then made her bed and kept all her things inside the closet.

Her roommates didn't seem to be enthusiastic about her arrival, but Erica didn't care. She would only come to the dorm room during noon break, and would not be staying there at night.

Soon, she was all set. From this moment on, her school life at Y City Film Academy would officially begin!

She was so excited, but later, as she stood in front of the teaching building, Erica looked at the boy standing in front of her with a bad feeling in her heart.

"Why are you here?" she asked.
