Encountering Morgan here, Erica was quite surprised, but still politely smiled, “Mr. West, you’ve entered the wrong place. This is the women’s restroom, while the men’s restroom is next door.”
“I don’t care how many men you want to deceive, but you can’t take Lily with you! Lily is my daughter, immediately return her to me!” He spoke to her in a commanding tone.
Erica, who had buried her polite demeanor because of these words, let out a cold laugh, “Your daughter? Mr. West, do you know if Lily was born in the morning or afternoon? Was it cloudy or sunny? What happened when she was born?”
Morgan was choked and unable to answer.
After marrying Erica, he spent more time on his company, and two–thirds of the year he was on business trips.
The only thing he remembered was that when he returned home from a business trip, she had given birth.
Erica shook her head bitterly.
She had once read the introduction of a novel about a woman who went through pregnancy alone, went to prenatal check–ups alone, and gave birth alone. At that time, she felt great sympathy for the main character in the book.
It wasn’t until she bled heavily during childbirth and had to sign a paper taking full responsibility for the newborn baby girl that she realized what was written in the book was only a tenth of what she had endured!
Since she called him while she was in an emergency situation and he didn’t answer, she decided to deliberately kept this matter a secret.
But what if she didn’t hide it? If she spoke out, she would probably only be mocked and ridiculed by him, thinking that everything was her scheming for ruining his relationship with Nancy.
To hide the sorrow in her heart, she smiled, lifted her head to face Morgan, and said, “Mr. West, rest assured, Lily is my treasure, and naturally, I won’t let her be like me, making people feel degraded. I will give her a happy life.”
After speaking, she swiftly passed by him and walked out.
The following days were much calmer.
After Thomas’s return, he began live broadcasting every day. He had a special charisma and was also a champion figure skater. He had a large number of fans, and Starlight Media collected a substantial amount of money every day.
Even Lily became Thomas’s number one fan, running after him every day. John became jealous to the point of trying his best to win Lily’s favor. Every day, Lily’s followed the two handsome men, and she couldn’t imagine being away from them.
Regardless of Lily, Erica had a lot of free time, and early in the morning, Fredrick pulled her out to go shopping.
Fredrick was famous in the live broadcasts. As soon as she entered, she was recognized, and the staff immediately surrounded her, wishing they could bring all the clothes in the store for her to try on.
Erica was accustomed to being modest and looked at everyone crowding around Fredrick. She quietly left and entered another store.
She quickly chose a pink dress.
The dress had a simple structure and a neat silhouette but was very beautiful.
“Please wrap it up for me, please,” she said.
“Sure.” The staff immediately greeted her and folded the dress.

Chapter 16
“Hey, isn’t this the arrogant Erica?” Suddenly, a sharp and mocking voice echoed from outside,
Erica turned back and saw a woman entering with a few people.
The woman deliberately provoked her, her lips curled up, and a look of contempt and disdain appeared in her eyes,
This person was none other than her former sister–in–law, Diana.
Diana always looked down on her. When she saw the dress in the hands of the staff, she snorted, “Do you even know who you are to dare to come to a place like this to buy clothes? Do you know how expensive the clothes here are?”
“How expensive can it be?” Erica said coldly.
It was only tens of thousands of dollars, which meant nothing to her.
“Yo, you have a big attitude. I’m sure you knew I would come here, so you can wait for me at this place. Do you want me to compensate you, and while we’re at it, you can pretend to cry pitifully, so I can take you back to the West family!”
Diana’s tone was very firm.
In her view, there was only one possibility: Erica had left the house without a job and had no means to buy clothes here.
“Kneel down and beg me, and maybe I’ll consider it.” She crossed her arms and sat in front of Erica, a hint of wickedness in her eyes.
Diana never thought that Erica would come back, but she was used to bullying Erica, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t bully her when they met!
Diana believed that Erica would allow herself to be humiliated in order to return to the Wist family, and she was proud of herself!
Erica saw through her petty thoughts, so she just smiled.
She had been bullied by Diana before, but now that she was divorced, how could she pay attention to Diana’s antics?
Walking straight to the front, Erica went to the counter. “Check out!”
Erica ignored her!
Diana became furious to the point of almost exploding. She rudely snatched the clothes from the staff and threw them onto the counter. “I want this
dress!”
“I’ve already taken this one.” Erica reminded coldly.
Diana was too arrogant. “So what? I’m a West family member. Don’t even talk about a piece of clothing. Even if I bought the entire store, it wouldn’t be a problem!”
“Staff, remove this woman immediately!” She arrogantly ordered.
“What an arrogant woman. Why didn’t you buy this store first and then give such orders?”
Before Erica could speak, Fredricks’s voice reached them. She lazily walked over, carrying a small bag, her eyes full of disdain for Diana.
Diana’s words were just empty talk, but now Fredricks was backing Erica… She immediately blushed.
“This is my family’s matter. Miss Fredrick, it’s best if you stay out of it.”
Fredrick sneered, her nose twitching. “She is the only one in her family. Who are you to call yourself her family?”
“Moreover, she is my best friend, and her business is mine!”
Diana looked at Fredrick with suspicion.
She had always believed that Fredrick was just seeing the injustice, but it turned out that she and Erica were good friends… How could this be?

Chapter 16
Erica was the daughter of a poor shoemaker. How could she know Fredrick?
“I’ll pay double for this store. I’ll buy it.” Fredrick didn’t care what Diana was thinking. She walked up to the counter and threw down a black card, speaking with authenticity.
Everyone: “…”
Double the price, amounting to tens of millions of dollars. Everyone was so intimidated by Fredrick’s generosity that they didn’t dare say a word.
“The store may not be for sale, but if Fredrick gives any orders, I can comply.” The store manager was a wise person. He had already realized that Fredrick just wanted to provoke Daria.
Fredrick nodded in satisfaction, her eyes sharp as she looked at Diana.
