The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1643

Jacob just turned a blind eye to Erica's swollen cheeks and let loose a barrage of accusations against her.

At that time, Erica was filled with fear and confusion.

But now, when the same thing happened, with Larkin by her side, Erica no longer felt fear and confusion.

"Mrs. Strand," Erica stepped out from behind Larkin, "Are you worried that I'm gonna get back with Jacob again? To be honest, before I started dating Larkin, there might still be a chance for that. But when I realized that being with Jacob means dealing with someone as difficult as you, I gave up on that idea completely. I'm here to see Jacob today because you guys can't keep him on a leash, he's way too out of line. Relax, Larkin and I are married, and our wedding date is coming up. Me and Jacob, just like you wanted, we're done, forever."

With that, Erica turned to Jacob, "Now do you get it, why I chose Larkin over you?"

Jacob went as white as a sheet.

"Let's go."

Erica didn't need his response.

Larkin's expression remained grim, he took one last glance at the Strand family, then walked away with Erica.

Rosalynn looked at Erica with guilt in her eyes.

Erica just smiled and shook her head at her.

Even though she got slapped, Erica was surprisingly in high spirits today.

All the way, Orval kept muttering, "Erica, just forget about Jacob. It's best if he gets infuriated. Look at his family, who cares about your good intentions?"

The elders of the Strand family heard everything loud and clear, and their expressions turned extremely unpleasant.

The Carter family might look like your average Joe, but they're generations of medical masters, never missing a generation. The young ones are all ace doctors. A lot of big shots go to the Carter family to treat their chronic illnesses.
