Chapter 1308
After leaving the hospital, Veronica Murphy, formerly known as Ben, had nned to go straight back to
Lothen. However, upon realizing that Matthew Kings was still working at thepany, she decided to
stop by One Piece Restaurant to buy some lunch before heading to Metric Technology.
To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Metric Technology, she saw a crowd
gathered there. Some stood, while others sat at thepany entrance, holding white banners with
ck letters written on them.
“Metric Technology is responsible for deaths.” “Metric Technology must be held ountable for the
harm it has caused. We demand justice.”Shut down this corruptpany!” As Veronica Murphy looked
at the people holding the white banners, her heart sank. She turned on the indicator lights and parked
her car by the roadside.
Veronica Murphy knew that something unexpected had happened at Matthew Kingspany, and she
had arranged for Colt Mullen to investigate the situation. But why hadn’t Colt Mullen informed her about
such a significant incident?
Sitting in the car, she took out her phone. Originally intending to call Matthew Kings, she ended up
dialing Colt Mullen’s number. On the other end of the phone, Colt Mullen answered after two rings,
“Boss?” Veronica Murphy furrowed her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, “You’ve been investigating
the current situation at Matt’spany recently. How is your investigation going?” “I’ve investigated.
However… I didn’t find anything unusual at Metric Technology. Everything seems normal,” the other
side replied calmly. Listening to his words, Veronica Murphy pursed her lips, deep in thought.
“Everything seems normal…” Her speech was deliberate, with a hint of intrigue. On the other end of the
phone, Colt Mullen sensed something was amiss and nervously touched his nose. “Um, everything is
normal, boss. What’s wrong?” Veronica Murphy’s expression turned cold as she tilted her head and
looked at the group of people causing trouble over there. Her thin lips slightly parted as she said, ‘Colt
Mullen, your have betrayed my trust.” “Uh… Boss, what… what do you mean?” Colt Mullen started to
panic. He was certain that Veronica Murphy must have discovered something.

“Although I am married to Matt, you should not forget your own identity. You have made me doubt your
professionalism!” Veronica Murphy said, and then hung up the phone directly.
She took a deep breath, feeling somewhat. helpless. At that moment, her phone buzzed and the
ringtone echoed loudly in the car. Looking at the phone screen with Colt Mullen’s number shing, she
hung up again.
Just as she ended the call, he called again. Veronica Murphy hung up once more, but he persistently
kept calling. In the end, she gave him a chance and answered the phone.
“Boss, boss, listen to me, listen to me…” Colt Mullen exined nervously, “I… I made a mistake this
time, a real mistake. President Kings told me not to tell you, afraid that it would worry you. He had good
intentions for you, and that’s why I agreed. But there was absolutely no intention to betray you.”
Veronica Murphy replied, “To me, not following my orders is betrayal.” “I…” Colt Mullen was
speechless, and all the words that came to his mouth turned into a sigh in the end. “Boss, I’m sorry, I
acted on my own.” His intention was for the good of Veronica Murphy. They were a married couple, and
Veronica Murphy investigated Matthew Kings because she cared about him. Matthew Kings asked Colt
Mullen to keep it a secret from Veronica Murphy, hoping that she wouldn’t worry about it. That’s why he
agreed to it.
“I’ll deduct half a month’s sry as a small punishment and a big lesson.” Veronica Murphy knew that
Colt Mullen had good intentions, so how could she really be angry?
“Hahaha, alright, alright, forget half a month, even a whole month is fine.” Colt Mullen breathed a sigh
of relief, and even through the phone, his joyful mood could be felt.
“This is the only time.” Veronica Murphy emphasized, “If there’s another time, then we will have no
future.”
