Chapter 199


    Chapter 199 Matthew Is a Despicable Jerk


    Of all the outrageous things Matthew had heard over the years, these were probably the most daring. If it


    was someone else who said it, they would have already be a member of Hell. So, she’s really being


    fearless because she knows that I fancy her, Matthew reckoned.


    Narrowing his dark eyes, he shot daggers at her with his eyes. “Veronica Murphy!”


    “Why are you shouting my name? Matthew Kings, I’m telling you. Even you calling my name is an insult


    to me. You’d better—uh!”


    While she was stillshing out at him brazenly, the man sealed her lips with a kiss mid-sentence.


    Her head rested on the dashboard of the motorbike, and her eyes were wide in disbelief. “Uh… Get


    away…”


    As she was kissed against her will, a fire of fury ignited and burned brightly in her heart, and she felt that


    she had been taken a huge advantage of, despite the fact that a familiar scent of masculinity drifted


    through her nostrils when his cool lips touched hers.


    It was a very familiar scent, as though it was there in her dreams every day, and it inexplicably subsided


    the fury in her heart greatly.


    But… what the hell? How is it possible that I’m so familiar with Matthew’s scent? she thought. Has this


    jerk been taking advantage of me everyday while I was asleep? Otherwise, why is his scent so natural


    for me?


    The fury which had subsided rushed through her again, and she struggled to reach out her hand and


    p him in anger. However, the man already expected her to strike him, and he released his grip on the


    handlebar to grab her wrist instead. Getting up, he nced at her with his icy eyes. “What now? You’ve


    grown a liking for pping me?”


    “That’s because you’re shameless—ouch!”


    Stopping, she hissed in pain. She had just started berating him again when he suddenly lowered his


    head and covered her soft lips with his sexy lips, biting her while she was unguarded.


    Instantly, blood flowed from her lips and she tasted it on her tongue.


    “It hurts! Matthew King, are you a dog? Why did you bite me?”


    Overwhelmed with anger, she shoved him and lifted her leg to kick him in the face, but his reaction was


    quick. Leaning back, he dodged her attack effortlessly.


    However, the kick was merely a farce because her real aim was to go around him. After hopping off the


    bike, she dashed off without looking back, running away in panic as though there was a vicious dog


    chasing her.


    Straightening himself, Matthew pursed his lips and smirked as he fixed his eyes on Veronica, who had


    run far away.


    “Ha!” From the bottom of his heart, he chuckled and shook his head helplessly before elerating and


    leaving.


    Since she was still mad at him, he didn’t want to make the situation even more sour.


    But… the one who’s unting around is her! he thought.


    Previously, there was no way he could ept it when a woman was being unreasonable, but now, he felt


    that Veronica was different from the rest, adding some spices to his otherwise peaceful life.


    After running a few feet, Veronica saw Matthew riding off on the motorbike, and she stopped running.


    Beep, beep, beep!


    She had only walked a little when a car stopped next to her. Seated in the passenger seat, Thomas


    rolled down the window and said, “Miss Murphy, get in the car. We’ll take you back.”


    “Sure!” As long as it’s not Matthew’s car, anybody else’s car will do. “Mr. Ritter, you’re a nice guy,” she


    said while she opened the car door and got in.


    “Thanks for thepliment, Miss Murphy,” he answered. It’s not that I’m a nice guy, but it’s a direct order


    from Boss. Otherwise, we can’t just abandon her in this wilderness.

    About an hourter, they reached the city, and Veronica returned to Twilight Condominium. In the living


    room, while she was standing in the corridor and changing shoes, she saw that the shoes Matthew was


    wearing yesterday had already been set aside.


    Is he back already? she wondered and heard the sounds of pots and pans nging from the kitchen.


    “Go wash up quickly and eat.”


    It seemed like Matthew, who was busy in the kitchen, already knew that she was back. She dragged her


    feet in slippers to peek into the kitchen.


    On the stove, porridge was boiling in the pot, and the steam floated into the air before it disappeared into


    the kitchen venttor.


    ncing at the porridge, she then turned to Matthew, theplicated look in her eyes saying, ‘Porridge


    again? Ha, that’s all you can cook, huh? But I’m not going to eat it. Who knows if you’ve poisoned it?’


    Ignoring his aloof and yet handsome face, she bolted straight for her room, but all of a sudden,


    something came into her mind, and she walked out of her room before turning into Matthew’s.


    At the same time, Matthew happened toe out of the kitchen and caught her going into his room.


    Immediately, a bad premonition loomed over his mind.


    Living under the same roof with him, Veronica had a principle—she never entered his room without


    permission.


    After he ced down the porridge on the dining table, he paced to the master bedroom, but he had


    barely made a few steps when a roar echoed from his room.


    “Matthew Kings!”


    Along with Veronica’s hysterical shriek was the baleful air she carried with her as she stormed out of the


    room. Grabbing an antique china from a surface on the right, she then tossed it in Matthew’s direction.


    “You b*stard! Didn’t you say that you didn’t touch me, you liar?”


    The china flew in the air in a parab, flying directly for Matthew, but he managed to catch it in his hands


    with his quick reflexes.


    His exquisitely sculpted face turned grim. “What happened?”


    “What happened? Hmph, the cheek of you to ask me that!”


    Storming in front of him angrily, she grabbed the tie around his neck and pulled it sharply, tightening it


    and choking his neck.


    I have to admit that this move by this damned woman is wild and dominant, he thought. Paired with her


    outfit today, which made her look like a little thug, she was really cool and attractive.


    “You like to lie, don’t you? Then tell me: What is this, huh?!”


    She held up a prescription bottle in her hand, and on the small white bottle was thebel—estazm


    tablets!


    His attractive eyes nced at the bottle that her fair fingers were clutching, but there wasn’t much


    emotion on his face, as though he had expected this.


    “I was right when I said that the milk you offered me every time had a weird taste. So it turns out that you


    really added sleeping pills in it. What a despicable jerk! Do you trust me when I say that I’ll call the police


    now and sue you for r*pe?”


    She was mad with rage, and her fire of fury burned brightly and brazenly, burning out thest bit of her


    rationale.


    “You like to lie, don’t you? I’m giving you a chance now toe up with an excuse. Huh?!” Enraged, she


    red at him as she pulled his tie even harder.


    On the other hand, Matthew furrowed his brows and snatched his tie out of her hand. Then, he undid it


    and tossed it on the couch.


    “It’s true that estazm is a medication that helps with sleep, but didn’t you realize that you have


    insomnia? I got this medication prescribed by a doctor to help you keep up with basic sleep.”


    For a person who wasn’t good at exining himself, Matthew tried to exin helplessly because he was


    forced to a corner by Veronica. However, she didn’t believe a single word he said.


    “You’re the one with insomnia, and so is your entire family! You’re a despicable jerk!”


    Throwing the medication into his face, she then marched back into her room and dashed out after


    grabbing her cell phone and bag.
