Chapter 37 Matthew Is Angry

Veronica shrugged helplessly. “I'm a person who is hundreds ofthousands in debt, so this is already the best place I can treat you todinner.”

If it weren't for her adoptive parents repeatedly asking her to buyMatthew a meal, she wouldn't have done so. It was a waste to spendeven a dime on Matthew!

“Perhaps you can consider using your body to repay the debt.”Matthew sat opposite Veronica and crossed his legs, then he leanedagainst the sofa, his thin lips curling into a sneer.

Veronica shot him a cold glance and handed him the menu. “YoungMaster Matthew, hurry up and order. Eat quickly. I still have business toattend to.”

Without even looking at the menu, Matthew gestured to the waiter,who came over and asked politely, “What would you two like to order?”“The most expensive one-person meal. Fifty servings,” the man said tothe waiter in a nonchalant manner.

Upon hearing this, Veronica became furious. “Fifty servings? Are youplanning to feed the entire planet?” He was ordering so much that hecertainly wouldn't be able to finish them.

“It's not too much to buy the medical specialists who helped treat yourfather's illness a meal each.”

Matthew had made up his mind to take advantage of Veronica. Whathe said made complete sense, so much so that Veronica couldn't replacefault with him.

“How much is the most expensive one-person meal?” she asked in ahuff.

“The most expensive one-person meal is 288 per serving.”

"2887"

Then, 50 servings would cost more than 14,000!

Veronica felt her rage boil, but she dared not offend Matthew. After all,she was facing a man with great power. If she upset him, the medicalexpenses of Saint Hospital would probably be increased tenfold.Taking a sip of plain water, she calmed herself down, then asked, “Isthere a discount for members?”

“No discounts are available for this meal.”

“Then go ahead. And give me another pot of plain water.”

Veronica had no intention of eating. She just wanted to drink a pot ofwater to extinguish the fire within her.

After a while, the waiter came over to tell Veronica that she had to paythe bill before the food could be served because she had placed amassive order. She tearfully swiped 14,000 away.

With the receipt in hand, Veronica walked up to Matthew and said ascalmly as possible, “Young Master Matthew, I've treated you to dinner.You can take your time eating. I'll leave first.” With that, she turnedaround to leave.

“I dare you to walk away.” Matthew calmly sipped on his plain water.That one sentence alone dispelled Veronica's thought of leaving."You..."

You b*stard! Furious, Veronica sat opposite him, then lowered her headand played with her phone.

At this moment, Matthew's phone rang, and he said, “KaymiteRestaurant. Courtside Road. Yes.”

Veronica wasn't interested in listening to him speak, and neither did shecare. While scrolling through her phone, she suddenly saw news aboutthe money-scamming schemes by beautiful women. This gave her anidea. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Matthew, who was sittingopposite her, and a plan formed in her mind.

The two were silent for half an hour, and the solemn atmosphere wasinterrupted by someone's appearance.

“Matthew, why did you come to this... Veronica?”

As Matthew's fiancée, Tiffany had called to ask him to have dinnertogether, so he told her that he was here. Walking into the cheapwestern restaurant, Tiffany thought that Matthew had given her thewrong address. God only knew how angry and jealous she was whenshe walked in and saw Veronica sitting opposite Matthew!

Veronica tilted her head and felt extreme disgust when she looked atthe elegant and stunning Tiffany, who was wearing a princess-like dresswith light makeup on her face. She even wondered if she would oneday hate her reflection in the mirror, since she was so disgusted whenlooking at Tiffany now.

“Sit down.” Matthew pointed to the seat beside him.

Tiffany smiled warmly and went to sit beside him. “Matthew, why areyou with Veronica?”

“She's paying for dinner and specifically asked you to come over.”Matthew solemnly spewed nonsense.

However, when Tiffany heard this, those words held another meaning.She assumed that Veronica was deliberately seducing Matthew, but hewas engaged to her, so Veronica called her over too.

“Veronica, why'd you suddenly think of treating us to dinner?” Tiffanyasked as her red lips curled into a decent smile.

Veronica didn't care for false niceties, so she got up and said, “I'mgoing to the restroom.”

After using the restroom, she ran into Tiffany at the sink when she cameout. To be more precise, Tiffany was waiting for her. Turning on thefaucet to wash her hands, she looked at Tiffany standing behind herthrough the mirror. “If you have anything to say, just say it."

“Veronica, you still dare to ask me to speak after what you've done?”Tiffany yanked her and snapped, “Matthew and I are already engaged.Don't shamelessly be a wh*re and seduce him, okay?"

“What did you say? Can you say it again?” Veronica stood in front of herand asked calmly.

“What are you if not a wh*re? Don't think I don't know that you climbedinto Matthew's bed and became pregnant with his child!”

When facing Veronica, Tiffany couldn't bring herself to stay calm.Perhaps it was because Veronica had a face that was identical to herswhich made her feel insecure and caused her emotions to get out ofcontrol.

“Very well.” Veronica laughed instead of getting mad.

“What are you laughing at? Do you want to hit me? Let me tell you:Matthew is outside. If you dare to hit me—aah!”

Before Tiffany finished speaking, Veronica gathered her strength andgave her a fierce slap across the face. “Don't always treat others likefools. Do you think I don't know about the incident at Hilton? I justdidn’t want to hold it against you.”

Her slap sent Tiffany plunging to one side, and her head slammedagainst the edges of the wall, causing her to let out a scream.

“Hey, why did you slap her?”

“What's the matter?”

“Oh, her head is bleeding. Hurry up and call for an ambulance.”

It was the peak of dinner time, so there were a lot of people in therestaurant. When the onlookers saw this scene, they either criticizedVeronica or reprimanded her. After a while, the commotion attractedMatthew's attention.

“What's the matter?”

The man pushed through the crowd and glanced at Tiffany, who wassitting on the ground with blood staining half of her face. He staredstraight at Veronica with cold eyes. “What did you do?”

Veronica, who had been suppressing her anger for a long time, couldntbear it anymore and snorted. “Can’t you see what I've done? When yousend your fiancée to the hospital later, remember to book anappointment with the ophthalmologist to see if they can cure your badeyesight!”

“Sob, sob... Matthew...”

Tiffany got up and tugged on Matthew, then suddenly threw herselfinto his arms, choking on sobs. “Sob... I just reminded her not to staytoo long and to go back to the hospital to visit her parents. I didn'texpect her to hit me. Sob, sob...”

"Tsk, tsk. Her parents are in the hospital, yet she’s still out on the prowl.”“What an unfilial girl.”

"Oh, whoever gave birth to this ingrate as a child must've really beenevil in their previous life.”

“Yeah, exactly.”

“Not only is she ugly, she has a vicious heart too.”

Everyone was discussing and exchanging whispers, but because theywere so close, Veronica heard everything they were saying. However,she had already become accustomed to the ignorant discussions ofnosy onlookers, so naturally, she didn't take them seriously at all.

“If anything happens to her, I'll make you pay the price!”

Matthew leaned over and carried Tiffany bridal style before striding outof the crowd with her in his arms, leaving the restaurant and headingstraight to the hospital.
