Chapter 1645
Larkin’s fury was for the slap Erica had received today, and also for the two she got the last time he wasn’t around.
Just then, a servant hurried in.
“Mrs. Carter’s family has arrived at the hotel.”
The smile on Erica’s face slowly faded, and she clearly became nervous. She looked at Larkin, “Did you really invite
all my family
“Mmhmm.” Larkin nodded, “I promised you, didn’t 17”
Erica was speechless
She thought he was just joking
Larkin had said before that he had invited her family, and she was half in doubt.
But they actually showed up.
1 have arranged for someone to pick them up.”Larkin continued, “Your face is still swollen, so don’t go meet them

“Okay” Erica nodded.
Rosalynn sensed Erica’s unease.
After Larkin finished applying the medicine to Erica, Rosalynn pulled Erica aside and asked, “Why are you so
nervous about your family being here?” Erica was a bit upset. It’s been a long time, I guess I’m a bit anxious,”
But that wasn’t the whole story
Erica had seen the guest list Larkin made. Kelly Shields” name was clearly on it.
But Kelly had successfully become their father Calvert favorite successor.
“With Larkin around, are you worried about them bullying you?” Rosalynn patted Erica’s back comfortingly, “Your
main task now is to get your face better. Mrs. Strand, that wicked old lady, knowing you’re getting married, but she
still slapped your face. She’s just too much.”
-Erica sneered, “Mrs. Strand of course wants me to get married, but not to Larkin She’d rather me marry a
notorious scumbag or a nobody.”
1s Mrs. Strand really that bad?” Rosalynn furrowed her eyebrows.
“Can I tell you a secret that nobody knows?” Erica lowered her voice and moved closer to Rosalynn.
“Go ahead.”
“Actually, my mom and Mrs. Strand were classmates.”
“What?” Rosalynn was shocked.
1 only found out when Jacob was in trouble. Apparently, in college, they both fell for the same guy in their
department. But then the guy chose my mom, and Mrs. Strand was devastated.”Erica sighed, “Sadly, that guy
turned out to be a jerk. My mom got hurt because of him, and then she met my dad while trekking in the R
Country.”
Like all cheesy stories begin. A rich man, hiding the fact that he was already married, deceived a pure woman who
was deeply hurt.
Half a year after they fell in love, she discovered his true identity, and the fact that he was already married with
three kids.

But on the day she proposed to break up, she fainted in front of him and was rushed to the hospital
She was pregnant.
Her beliefs didn’t allow her to have an abortion, so, Erica was born.
“Although my mom’s life turned into hell after she was with that man, Mrs. Strand’s resentment didn’t fade with her
miserable life and early death. On the contrary, when Mrs. Strand found out I was dating Jacob, she doubled her
resentment towards me.”Erica leaned against the window, looking at the clear sky outside.
“It’s unfair for you to bear the grudges of the older generation Rosalynn said solemnly
“Yes, it’s a pity.” Erica looked at Rosalynn, “But, not everyone is as kind as you?
Rosalynn was like Kelly, the sister Erica used to rely on a lot when she was young
But that always nice Kelly, one day suddenly turned into a scary woman who wanted to send Erica to a disgusting
man.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Erica hadn’t completely passed out that day and escaped while the man was taking a
shower….
She would have been doomed….
