CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: TRENDING HOT VIDEO

Not only did Lucretia rage as the video advertisement became increasingly heated across social media, but Amber also raged and screamed in her room, making it feel like a world war had just begun. Amber laughed psychopathically while pointing at her enemy’s beautiful face, which only made her hate her even more. It didn’t matter that her secretary could only stand there watching the commotion, feeling like a failure and a fool every time her plans failed.

"Amber, you should lower your voice."

"How can I remain calm after seeing all this?!" Amber threw a flower vase, sending glass shards scattering all over her room. "Victoria has completely ruined everything! How dare she publicly flaunt her relationship with Matthias!"

"But, if you keep acting like this, Matthias will continue to hate you! Have you forgotten when you picked him up at the airport? He was starting to feel uncomfortable around you!"

"I’m not letting Victoria marry Matthias! Matthias should be the one marrying me!" Amber flopped onto the bed, patting the mattress in frustration. "Why does everyone like that bitch so much? Even Ansel likes her. And she can’t do anything without Matthias’ help!"

"Maybe you can find another way that won’t damage your reputation."

Amber snapped her fingers for a moment as a brilliant idea struck her. She slowly rose to her feet, looking at her assistant with a sly smile.

"That old woman thought I was really sleeping with Matthias back then. Maybe I could take advantage of this situation and marry Matthias without any trouble."

"What are you going to do?"

"Just help me, and my plan will definitely go smoothly this time. Tomorrow, you have to give me everything I ask for now."

Meanwhile, Fransisca also reported what she saw at the hospital to her mother. Her mother immediately became enraged and looked at her daughter with pity. The video advertisement, which depicted a very affectionate couple, made her feel even more anxious.

"They’re so rude! Especially Matthias, who’s secretly approaching Victoria again!"

"Mom, what should we do now? Matthias is acting recklessly after destroying our family."

"I will definitely destroy the T&H Group family. But before that, I must summon Victoria to sever her ties with Matthias!"

"By the way, Mom, if Victoria manages to break up with Matthias, can I do one thing I really want?"

"What else do you want to do? Do you want to destroy the project they’re developing?"

"But, if I were to marry Matthias, wouldn’t it be beneficial for us?"

"What?! Are you crazy to want to marry the man who destroyed our family?!"

"Mom, if I were good at seducing him and his heart could melt, I’m sure he wouldn’t oppress our family anymore."

"Anyway, I won’t let you marry Matthias. He’s really mean."

"Mom!"

"I still hate seeing his face! I’m surprised your stepsister is still crazy about Matthias. She’s blinded by love. Your stepsister is really the most stupid woman in this world."

"Then, what about you, Mom? What is your goal in marrying Father?"

The mother smiled sarcastically, folding her arms. "Your father is now in a coma in the hospital. If his condition becomes terminal, we must act quickly. You must continue your father’s business. You are the sole heir in this family."

"Isn’t Victoria the real heiress? Why should I replace Victoria?"

"Of course I’ll kick her out because she’s made a lot of mistakes lately. Especially the mistake of approaching Matthias."

If Fransisca had thought this through more carefully, this idea would have been very beneficial for her. She wouldn’t have had to struggle with her half-brother. This way, she could control the company using her own methods.

*****

Despite many people wanting to destroy their relationship, the couple remains oblivious. They continue to cuddle in their bedroom, watching videos of themselves looking sweet and perfect. Furthermore, reading all the positive comments flooding social media makes them incredibly relieved. Everyone is incredibly supportive of their relationship and urging them to get married for real.

"Matthias, I’m really enjoying reading all the comments right now. They’re even bashing Amber for stealing you from me."

"But, actually, they were a bit overreacting. Even though we were just helping out on a commercial shoot, they thought we were actually on a date."

"If the situation is like this, will it benefit your company?"

"Of course. My mother will definitely be even more supportive of our relationship." Matthias slowly stroked his wife’s belly. "Moreover, if my mother finds out you’re pregnant, she definitely won’t hate you."

Victoria took a moment to inhale her husband’s distinctive scent, calming her heart. "I’m starting to like your scent more and more. I’m craving something."

"What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you."

Victoria laughed softly, pinching her husband’s cheek. "You’re so innocent. How could I possibly trouble you so suddenly?"

"It’s a husband’s job to make his wife happy. If you’re craving something, I’ll definitely buy it for you." Matthias snapped his fingers. "I can cook something for you."

"What do you want to cook?"

Matthias gripped his wife’s hand tightly. "Do you want to watch me cook? I just happened to have bought a lot of groceries."

What Matthias cooked was chicken feet soup. He had never tried this dish before. However, for the health of his wife and the fetus, he wanted to try it, even though it took quite a long time, from washing the chicken to boiling it in the pan. Victoria was only responsible for accompanying her husband while fetching the necessary ingredients.

"Victoria, you should just get some rest. I’ll do the cooking."

"I want to see your face up close."

Matthias laughed softly and kissed his wife’s temple briefly. "I also love seeing your face so sweet right now."

"By the way, why did you think of cooking chicken feet soup for me?"

"Because chicken foot soup is good for pregnant women. You should definitely try this dish I’ve worked so hard to make."

"Your cooking is guaranteed to be satisfying. I trust you now."

"You won’t scold me like before?"
