    Matthew’s refusal wasn’t something unexpected. Veronica leaned against her chair and looked at the


    documents with a frown. “If I weren’t Grandma’s god-granddaughter, thepany wouldn’t have


    achieved such a sess. As much as I am grateful to you, I am indebted to the Kings Family.


    Nheless, I can’t deny that it’s a burden too.”


    Sheid out her genuine thoughts without hiding. “It’s your call whether you want to ept the offer or


    not.”


    If Matthew didn’t sign it, she would shut down thepany due to the guilt of receiving the money.


    Suddenly, a knock resounded on the door, and a waiter walked inside to serve the food. Veronica thrust


    the documents back into her bag before pointing at the dishes. “Let’s eat. The filet steak is amazing. Try


    it.”


    Veronica poured Matthew a ss of wine before raising her wine ss and smiling sweetly. “Anyway,


    thank you so much.”


    While his eyes were fixated upon her, he wasn’t feeling as happy as he was when he first stepped into


    the restaurant. Mixed feelings were churning in his stomach as he silently raised his ss in a toast to


    her.


    After polishing off the drink in one-go, she eximed, “The wine’s not bad. I guess I should dig in now.”


    Humming in response, he savored the sweetness in his mouth. As incisive as he had always been, he


    noticed the exhaustion behind that wry smile on her face. He then gazed out of the window, drifting into a


    pensive rumination.

    When they first met, there was a dazzling smile on her face all the time, as though no pall of sorrow


    could ever rein her in. Yet, she rarely smiled nowadays, and it pained Matthew to realize that.


    Throughout the meal, they conversed lightly about the trivias before separating ways to their own


    companies.


    Holding the unsigned contract, Veronica arrived at her store. Before she could even announce the sad


    news, Thomas dropped by her ce.


    “Miss Murphy.” The man in a suit strode into the store and made his way to Veronica, who happened to


    be in the hall on the first floor.


    She turned to him in confusion. “Mr. Ritter, what brings you here?”


    “I have something for you. Can we talk privately at your office?”


    “Sure. This way.” She nodded before giving her assistant an order. “Shirley, please bring us some


    coffee.”


    While Shirley went to prepare them some coffee, they headed upstairs to the office. Along the way,


    Veronica inquired, “Did Matthew ask you toe?”


    “Yes.” Thomas let out a smle. “So, here I am to ry the good news.”


    After entering the office, they sat opposite each other. With a business smile, Veronica piped up, “What


    good news?”


    The enigmatic smile on Thomas’ face was beaming so brightly, as if he couldn’t suppress the gleeful


    feeling in his chest. He ced two documents before her. “Young Master Matthew mentioned that the


    business at your bridal store has been pretty good recently, so he would like to be a shareholder.


    However, considering that the store is quite small, he asked someone to rent the abutting ten-storey


    building for ten years. He especially noted that you must fill in the share rights by yourself.”


    “Ten-years rental?” She was awestruck by someone’s generosity.


    Renting a ten-storey building for ten years in this kind of ce? Is he trying to monopolize the industry in


    the city?


    “Yes, for ten years.” Thomas nodded with certainty.


    Veronica sifted through the contract, only to find the equity division still nk under the written terms.


    She hadn’t filled it in yet, but Matthew had already signed it beforehand.


    While she was focusing on going through the contract, Thomas added, “Young Master Matthew said it is


    up to you.”


    However, he had already jumped to conclusions in his head. I bet someone greedy like her will have the


    lion’s share. She’s not going to pass up such an opportunity.


    “Since he has rented the ce, I should sign the contract, of course.”


    Matthew was a businessman who only had his eyes on promising projects. Judging from how he had


    rented a ten-storey building for a decade, he knew how much profit was ahead of them.


    She took a pen and flipped open the document again to fill in the nk space. However, just as she was


    going to sign her name on it, Thomas piped up, “Miss Murphy, what do you think of Young Master


    Matthew?”


    “He’s a nice guy.”


    “After working for him for so many years, it’s my first time witnessing how he treats someone nicely.”


    Thomas smiled sheepishly as he blurted out the implicit words.


    Remaining silent, Veronica merely nced at him coldly.


    Then, he asked the very question, “How are you going to divide the equity, Miss Murphy?”


    At that, she stopped short and looked at him dangerously. “Mr. Ritter, are you trying to teach me how to


    handle things?”


    From the moment he passed over the documents, she was aware of his whirring mind as his curious


    gaze had given him away, but she forbore from breaking the ice by ignoring it.


    As he had not expected such a direct and indifferent question, Thomas pursed his lips before shing a


    wry smile. “It’s a misunderstanding, Miss Murphy.”


    Next, he zipped his lips under her scorching gaze. It wasn’t until then that Veronica wrote ‘95%’ on the


    paper.


    Bang!


    In a fit of rage, Thomas mmed the table. “Don’t you think that you’ve gone overboard, Miss Murphy? If


    it wasn’t for Young Master Matthew, do you think your bridal store could’ve done the same? The rent


    alone surpasses millions. It will be a massive amount of money, including the renovation. Do you think


    that everythinges for free, Miss Murphy?”


    His brusque action startled her, but she smiled sarcastically in return. Paying no heed to him, she


    continued filling up the contract.


    Meanwhile, the man stared at her while grumbling furiously, “When you were kidnapped on the cruise


    back then, Young Master Matthew relinquished a contract worth billions and took a flight from Castron


    immediately just to save you; he risked his life to rescue you when there was a deluge in the Dawnpol


    Vige; besides, he found out about your insomnia, so he elft the underground chamber and…”


    At the mention of the underground chamber, Thomas suddenly recalled Matthew’s warning, and he


    immediately glossed it over by saying, “Young Master Matthew went to lengths to find you the medicine,


    but he didn’t tell you in case you might feel a burden. Not only that, he even hired some people to live as


    your parents’ neighbors just to keep them safe. He sacrificed so much for you, but how can you repay his


    kindness in this way?”


    Veronica’s hand stopped when she heard that. Her eyes zed over as his words kept ringing in her


    ears.
