Chapter 18
“No need.” She coldly avoided the check, refusing directly. “I will remember the past, let alone after so many years have passed? I won’t accept your money.”
“And from now on, we owe each other nothing.”
After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at him with an indifferent smile.
Morgan was extremely surprised by her reaction.
According to his opinion, it was because of the West family’s money that she had tried every means to enter the West family.
Why would she refuse the money when it was handed to her?
But thinking about everything that had happened, the accident was immediately replaced by mockery.
Morgan’s face turned extremely dark. “Think clearly, I just want to repay the debt of gratitude to you once and for all! Now you pretend, no matter how much you make a scene in the future, you won’t have the chance to be treated like this!”
Ah!
He still felt like she was pretending.
Hearing Morgan’s words, Erica’s heart suddenly turned cold.
“Mr. Morgan, don’t worry, I, Erica, will live a happy life without you, and perhaps there won’t be any time to cause trouble for you.” She retorted with a sarcastic tone, and after speaking, she waved a taxi and left.
As the car drove away, the astonishment on his face gradually faded, leaving only an unwilling smile.
She had been in the West family for four years and had always fulfilled her duties. Did Morgan see her as someone pretending?
Fredrick had long discovered Morgan’s intention to compensate Erica with money, and she was furious, scolding Morgan without hesitation.
“You despicable turtle! Thinking that Morgan is the only one with money in the world, she personally attended the charity auction organized by Starlight Media, and blinded his dog eyes!”
Fredrick had a hot temper. Within a minute, she reported to the planning department that Erica would appear on stage, and at the same time, the preparation of the outfit was completed.
“This time, the male companion will be your boyfriend. Don’t worry, the boyfriend I found for you will definitely make Morgan faint in the toilet!”
When Erica saw the “boyfriend” that Fredrick had prepared for her at the entrance of the auction venue, her head couldn’t help but spin.
The first thought that came to her mind was: I’m definitely going to be knocked out in the restroom.
This “boyfriend” was none other than Thomas.
If the fans knew that their beloved young master was smitten by an ordinary person like her, wouldn’t they kill her?
Thomas was wearing a white shirt underneath and a dark blue suit, looking even more elegant and handsome, like a prince stepping out of a fairy tale.
He walked over shyly, holding a bouquet of flowers. “Miss Erica.”
“Thomas…” Erica struggled to call out his name, her heart throbbing from the bottom of her being.
Is it too late to change the “boyfriend” now?
The truth told her that it was already too late.

On the opposite side, Morgan and Nancy approached within the circle of reporters.
Seeing her and Thomas, Nancy deliberately stopped, “Thomas, don’t you want to introduce me? Last time I saw you two ice skating together, you were already secretly together.”
No one knew about that, but Nancy intentionally brought up the matter to let the whole world know.
“My girlfriend,” Thomas roughly followed Fredrick’s instructions and awkwardly smiled.
“Girlfriend?” Nancy’s face was full of surprise. “How is that possible? I saw…”
Before she could finish her sentence, her gaze shifted and her expression clearly conveyed a meaning between Erica and Thomas.
Erica had a child, how could she stand alongside Thomas?
Thomas remained calm, “Yes, everything is as you see.”
After speaking, he ignored Nancy and gently looked at Erica. “Shall we go in?”
“Okay.”
Although Thomas was just an figure skater, he was very famous, with outstanding looks and legendary performances over the past two years, earning him a large number of fans worldwide.
The reporters initially interviewed Nancy, but now that Thomas openly revealed such big news, they immediately surrounded the two of them.
“Mr. Thomas, can you tell me how you two met?”
“You two are such a perfect match. Are you planning to get married soon?”
“Mr. Thomas is only twenty–three years old. Aren’t you worried that publicly announcing the relationship so early won’t be stable?”
“Mr. Thomas…”
“She is from outside the entertainment industry, please don’t threaten her.” Thomas didn’t mind being surrounded by everyone, he just gently reminded them, while keeping Erica close to his side.
Erica cooperatively bowed her head, revealing a frightened look, trying to hide her face in Thomas’s arms so that no one could see.
Her eyes inadvertently fell on Morgan, who was standing not far away.
He was also looking at her.
His face was no longer indifferent, and the curve of his lips clearly showed sarcasm.
He was mocking himself, saying that a life without him would be prosperous, but then seducing other men, repeating the same tricks!
Even though he had completely decided to ignore her, he still felt uncomfortable and cramped inside.
Perhaps Thomas had made such a good impression that the reporters no longer hindered them.
It wasn’t until they entered the conference hall that Erica finally dared to take a breath.
“Sorry, Thomas, I didn’t expect Fredrick to arrange this. Don’t worry, I will have Fredrick clarify everything when we get back.”
Directly related to Thomas’s beauty and cleanliness, Erica felt that she had committed too many sins.
Reporters were not allowed inside the auction venue, so Erica dared to speak so boldly.
“No problem.” Thomas smiled gently. “As your boyfriend, I’m happy, although I know I’m not worthy of you.”
“No, I deserve this, I deserve this.”

Chapter 18
This young man was so kind–hearted, clearly young calf that had eaten young grass, yet he said he was unworthy, simply not wanting to hurt others.
A good guy.
Erica sighed inwardly, not noticing the sincerity and loneliness in Thomas’s eyes when he confessed.
She didn’t pay attention, someone else did.
Morgan was just a few steps behind them, although their paths were different, he still couldn’t control himself and followed along, hiding where Erica couldn’t see.
He also overheard their conversation.
It wasn’t Erica who seduced this young man, but… he liked her?
Morgan found it hard to believe, thinking that Thomas had poor eyesight, so he couldn’t accurately see women.
But after thinking that way, his heart suddenly felt something blocking it, extremely uncomfortable.
The only thing that kept repeating in his mind was the gentle gaze of Thomas when he looked at Erica…
In addition to being the figure skating champion, Thomas was also the most famous male MC of Starlight Media. When he appeared at the auction, everyone thought he was representing Starlight Media, and no one bothered to look up Erica’s identity.
Although Erica was being hunted fervently, it was like a mosaic painting, and because she rarely went out after getting married, hardly anyone recognized him.
I don’t know if Fredrick did it on purpose or not, but the seat chart only had Thomas’s name and not Erica’s.
After Thomas sat down for a while, he was temporarily called away, and Erica bowed her head to study the auction items.
“Want to seduce a wealthy man? Don’t even go to the auction!” A displeased voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
