Chapter 127


    “Since the Kings Family is strict with their children, why would he be—”


    “Yvonne, are you gonna stay or not?


    Get out of here if you aren‘t!” Veronica snapped right away without giving Yvonne the opportunity to finish


    her sentence. Then, she shoved Yvonne into her room, saying, “Here, the closet is full of new clothes. W


    e’re about the same height, so pick your clothes yourself. The bathroom is over there. Hurry up and wash


    yourself before going to sleep!”


    “Oh, okay, okay.” Sensing that this topic was a taboo for Veronica, Yvonne dared not ask her further abou


    t it.


    Veronica then went


    to the living room‘s bathroom and furtively called thendy of the apartment she had rented today to a


    sk her if she could quit the lease and have her rent refunded.


    “Are you crazy? How


    could you quit the lease right now after moving in just today? Are you trying to make a fool of me?”


    “It‘s okay that you‘re angry, but you shouldn‘t be yelling


    at me. It‘s fine that I can‘t have my rent refunded, but what are you speaking so harshly for?”


    “How could you ask such a retarded question when you know that I‘m angry? You must be out of your mi


    nd! Beep—” Thendy showered abuses on Veronica before hanging up right away.


    Veronica‘s lips twitched at the sight of the ended phone call, “Sigh, I can‘t have my rent refunded. It‘s ove


    r 20,000 lost. It really


    hurts.” Whenever she thought about it. she felt a surge of exasperation. It‘s all Matthew, that *sshole‘s fa


    ult! If it weren‘t for him. I wouldn‘t have lost over 20,000.


    As soon as she opened the bathroom door toe out, she saw Matthew standing outside. Her face dar


    kened, and she snapped in displeasure, “Why


    are you standing at the bathroom door? Why have I never realized you‘ve got such a hobby?”


    Matthew raised his hand and loosened his necktie with an air of impatience. Then, he seized Veronica by


    the cor and pinned her against the wall, asking, “Are you close to Yvonne?”


    “What does that have to do with you?!” Veronica shot back snappishly.


    “How dare you be friends with her? She‘s from an unknown background. Are you


    ured of living?” What a foolish woman who dares to bring anybody home!


    Her head tilted to one side, Veronica stared at Matthew as her obsidian–like


    bright eyes sparkled with a smile. “Why would I? She‘s only a good friend of mine.” Good friend? No, Yvo


    nne and I were only forced to live together for a week after being kidnapped, she thought. Of course, she


    had some suspicions about Yvonne‘s appearance, but she was certain that thetter wasn‘t sent by the


    Larson Family. There was nothing else about Veronica that Yvonne could take


    advantage of. In that case,


    the only thing that could exin this was that… Yvonne‘s purpose in getting close to her was to get close


    to Matthew

    However, no matter whether Yvonne had her eyes on Matthew‘s wealth, power, influence, or Matthew hi


    mself, it was none of Veronica‘s business. Therefore, Veronica wouldn‘t care about it as long as it wouldn


    ‘t keep her from “getting rich.” Moreover, Matthew wasn‘t a kind person either. He was incredibly shrewd,


    so it would probably be extremely difficult for Yvonne to gain something from him.


    “The mercenaries who kidnapped her that day were…” Matthew wanted to tell Veronica the identity


    and background of Yvonne‘s kidnapper at first, but he feared that he might frighten this foolish woman. In


    the end, he merely said with a sigh, “I had too much to drink yesterday.”


    He changed the subject so quickly that it was somewhat puzzling.


    Veronica knew that Matthew was apologizing for his behavior yesterday. She had smelled alcohol on him


    yesterday as soon as he came back, but the amount of alcohol wasn‘t sufficient to make him lose self–


    control. “So what?” She knitted her brows. “It‘s pointless to give an absurd exnation right now after yo


    u‘ve done it.” In other words, she was using him of


    talking nonsense by ming his behavior yesterday on alcohol after he had raped her and slept with her.


    Or are you saying that you‘re a brainless creature who has no control over your lower hall?


    Matthew‘s face darkened slightly, and he patted Veronica lightly on the head with hisrge hand. “In the f


    uture, we‘ll only be brother and sister. There‘ll be no other rtionship between us apart from that.” The “


    rtionship” that he said wasn‘t referring to the brother–


    sister rtionship; in reality, he was telling Veronica that he would never touch her again.


    Since he had said so, Veronica decided to make things clear instead of being secretive. “You better keep


    your words. If you dare touch me again in the future, I‘ll definitely fight you to death!”


    Suddenly, Matthew said, “Two monthster, Tiffany and I will be getting married.”


    The two seemed to be responding to each other‘s words with irrelevant answers as they jumped from


    one topic to another, but they actually understood what each other‘s words meant.


    Veronica was slightly startled. Then, with the benefit of hindsight, she realized why Matthew would say jus


    rtionship would be limited to that of brother and sister. As it turned out, it was because the two


    were nning to get married in two months due


    to Tiffany‘s pregnancy. Feeling suffocated at once, she instantly felt her heart ache terribly. Why does my


    Veronica felt that her insistence on taking revenge over the past few months had suddenly be pointle


    might find a way to make the family lose face or even bring down the family. In the beginning, when Matth


    How can I fight against the Larsons and the Kingses on my own? I‘ll only be fighting a hopeless battle.


    Veronica blinked her eyes before looking at the man before her with a bitter smile. “Is that so? Congrat


    on bing a father and to Tiffany on bing Mrs. Kings. Tiffany‘s defeated mepletely after all.


    Shoving the man away, she went to the living room‘s bar counter and took a bottle of red wine from the liq


    Matthew stood in ce while watching the woman‘s every move. He knew very well that she had shoved


    to kill me one day?”


    Walking up to Veronica, he felt bad in every way when he saw her pour red wine into her wine ss and d


    down a ss of red wine after another.


    Torunia, do you wama… Oh, dear! Why are you drinking alone? Didn‘t you hurt pour arm. Tou can‘t drink


    course. Coming to Veronica‘s side, she sat down and snatched the wine boule


    from her. “Are you insane? You‘ll get drunk by drinking like this.”
