Chapter 45 Getting Rid of Veronica

Her pretentiousness made Veronica feel sick to the core.

As she pursed her lips and had an emotionless face, she brushed herhand away. “You'll have to ask Matt...” After glancing at Matthew froman angle, she continued, “You'll have to ask my brother... when he willmarry you.”

At that moment, not only was Veronica disgusted by Tiffany, she alsosimultaneously was disgusted with herself for addressing Matthew asher brother.

It was evident those words had hurt Tiffany as her mesmerizinglybeautiful face wore a terrifying expression.

Rachel, who was watching by the side, did not manifest her angeroutwardly. With a look of a noble lady, she calmly stated, “Theengagement was only recently decided, so there's no rush to getmarried.”

“Yes, Mom's right,” Tiffany gracefully retorted. At that moment, herfacade was nearly broken under Veronica's constant cynicism. Tomaintain her image in front of Matthew, Tiffany could only say, “I'mgoing to visit Grandma with Mom now. We'll talk later.” After that, shehinted at Rachel with her gaze before they both entered the wardOnly Matthew and Veronica were left outside the small living room ofthe ward. Raising his eyebrow, he looked at her deeply while askingwith a firm tone, “What happened between you two?”

While avoiding the question, she gave a slight smirk as she took out anote from her pocket and placed it in front of him. “Please pay for thebill first.” After all, they had agreed on the prepaid wage of 10,000 perday.

Matthew reminded her, “Answer my question.”

“I'm not obligated to answer you, nor do I need to satisfy yourcuriosity.” Aside from being arrogant, Veronica also had a feeling thatshe couldn't care less about this.

Ring, ring, ring.

It was at this moment when her phone rang. As she took it out, shelooked at the screen only to discover it was a call from Xavier. Then, shesuddenly realized that this was supposed to be her first day of work atXavier's company.

A frowning Veronica pouted in distress as she answered the call.

“Roni, where are you? I've been waiting for you at the company for twohours now," Xavier questioned her from the other side.

“Haha...” Veronica awkwardly laughed before she replied, “Xavier, aboutthat... I'm sorry, but I suddenly ran into some issues.”

“I could care less about your issues. Just come here immediately. If Idon't see you present within half an hour, don’t blame me if I comeover to drag you from your house!"

“Erm, about that, I—"

Beep... Beep...

Before she could explain any further, Xavier had already hung up. Is thisguy really angry? She silently chided herself as she actually forgot thattoday was the first day of work at his company. That was the reasonwhy she promised Matthew to accompany him to watch over hisgrandmother.

Keeping her phone away, Veronica glanced at the note with her bankaccount details before immediately bending over to retrieve it. “What Isaid earlier was a joke. I'll be taking this back then.”

Leaning against the sofa, Matthew looked at her with a mysteriousgaze. “Do you know what kind of animal comes and goes oncommand?”

“What?” His strange words threw her for a loop.

“Your actions are indistinguishable from a dog.”

The man’s insulting words absolutely humiliated her and even his gazeheld certain amounts of scorn. She's ready to leave so eagerly justbecause Xavier has asked her to?

Folding the paper, Veronica had been listening to him until she stoppedin her actions. As she slowly raised her head, under her lusciouseyelashes was a dull gaze that gradually turned into fury. While tightlyholding onto the note, she had a deep frown. “Matthew...”

In the end, although a blazing fire was burning inside her, she stillmanaged to suppress her anger after nearly failing to control heremotions.

“The difference between me and a dog is that I have a human heartwhereas dogs are just ungrateful creatures!” After saying that, she leftwithout even turning back.

At that moment, Matthew felt more like he was being scolded byVeronica instead of him lecturing her.

Then, the pair of mother and daughter came out after visiting Elizabeth.Upon noticing Veronica's absence, Tiffany asked, “Matthew, where'sVeronica?”

“She left.” Lowering his head, the man was looking at his computer ashe immersed himself in work. He did not even spare Tiffany a glancethroughout the whole process of replying to her. It was as if his coldattitude was telling her that she was not worth it for him to show anyinterest toward.

“I've just discussed with Grandma and we've decided that I'll stay herewith you these few days to take care of her together,” Tiffany informedMatthew.

Her soft tone and gentle demeanor all pointed to her being a candidatefor a wonderful wife. There were no men safe from her charms, yet itwas Matthew who was immune to all this.

“Yes, yes, your grandma did say that.” Rachel quickly followed up on herwords, “Tiffany is coincidentally quite free nowadays, so allowing her tocome take care of Old Mrs. Kings would also be a good way to fostertheir relationship.”

“As long as Grandma agrees, I've no qualms about it,” he said bluntly.However, in the midst of his words, Matthew shot a cold look at Tiffanybefore continuing with his work.

“Grandma did agree to it.”

As she smiled, she could finally set her nervousness aside. Theappearance of Veronica earlier had made her feel a sense of greatdanger.

Elizabeth treated Veronica well in the past because she had beenpregnant with Matthew's child. Although Veronica eventually sufferedfrom a miscarriage, Elizabeth actually wanted to adopt her as her god-granddaughter!

What methods did that wench use to make the entire Kings Family fallfor her so badly? The most important thing was that it was that longsince the engagement between Tiffany and Matthew. Will she interfereand ruin our marriage at that time?

“Okay, then.” Matthew gave a curt reply in agreement.

Tiffany was elated as she looked at Rachel from an angle. With agenuine smile, she could finally calm her racing heart.

“You should stay here and take good care of Old Mrs. Kings then. I'llsend someone over tonight to deliver some clothes to you.” Tapping onher shoulders, Rachel hinted at Tiffany to make full use of the time thatshe would be spending with Matthew alone

“Thanks, Mom."

“I'll be leaving first.”

Carrying her bag, Rachel left in her heels after bidding her farewell.After exiting the hospital, she called Floch to ask him to hurry home asshe drove. After half an hour, the couple arrived at Dragon's Creek villaat the same time.

“What happened? Why did you call me back in such a hurry?” Aftergetting out of the car, Floch walked to Rachel as he removed his coat.“What else could happen? That little wench, Veronica, is up to no goodagain.”

“What did she do this time?”

“What did she do, you say? It would be easy if it were something thatshe did of her own accord. Now, she’s Elizabeth's god-daughter,meaning that she’s considered part of the Kings Family now. Tell me,how is that brat so lucky?” At this point, Rachel, who was so livid, threwthe bag at Floch and mumbled, “I should've killed her back then if Iknew that she would be a pain in the *ss.”

Casting aside that Veronica already knew that they were the ones whohired goons to run her parents over, the mere fact that Veronica wasElizabeth's god-granddaughter meant that Tiffany would only suffer assoon as she married into the Kings Family.
