"You wouldn't dare to throw it away." Jacob stated confidently as he pleadingly looked at Erica, "Give it to me, would you?"
Erica bowed her head, then spoke firmly, "Since I'm getting married, I've obviously got rid of everything related to you!"
Jacob would have his own wife.
She thought to herself, is it really cool to keep stuff from exes? That's not fair to the other girl.
"Erica!"
Suddenly, an angry scolding echoed through the room.
Jacob stiffened, immediately stood up and turned around.
The elders of the Strand family had arrived.
Mrs. Strand's face was pale, her hair not as elegant as usual.
She stormed towards them.
Before anyone could react, she slapped Erica across the face.
"Mom!"
"Erica!"
The glass door on the other side was pushed open.
Larkin, Rosalynn, Wayne, and Orval Carter rushed over.
"Mom, what are you doing!" Jacob grabbed Mrs. Strand's hand, stepping in front of Erica.
"You're asking me what I'm doing? I should be asking you what you're up to? Didn't I say this is all her scheme?!" Mrs. Strand yelled angrily, "She's forcing you into marriage with this!"
"Erica, are you okay?" Larkin asked Erica nervously.
Seeing her swollen cheek, he felt both heartbroken and angry.
