Chapter 264


    Chapter 264 You’re Blind, Veronica!


    Veronica talked a lot.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    It took a few seconds after Veronica finished speaking for Matthew to suddenlye back to his


    senses.


    Oblivious to the fact that his hands were balled into fists in the pocket of his trousers, Matthew was


    currently on the verge of rage and copsing.


    It turned out that the reason she kept rejecting him was that in her heart, he had already been


    sentenced as guilty!


    To her, he was a rapist!


    Great!


    How wonderful!


    The sullen look on Matthew’s handsome face gradually disappeared which was then reced by an


    unfathomable smile.


    That smile was simply a curved arc at the corners of his lips, not even reaching his eyes.


    After that, he turned on his heels and left without saying a word.


    Bang!


    The room fell silent as the door to the ward mmed shut.


    Veronica swallowed nervously and involuntarily let go of her hand which was clutching the nkets


    tightly, only to feel her tense nerves rx.


    Only the heavens knew that she felt the chilling breath emanating from Matthew’s body. His powerful


    aura enveloped her, making her nervous to the point of almost suffocating.


    However, it was better this way.


    Matthew would probably ignore her from today onward.


    This was what Veronica was hoping for, but she was not happy at all.


    That night, shey in bed until dawn before finally falling asleep.


    At 8:30 the next morning, Veronica received a call from the bridal store, saying that many of the


    customers who had made wedding reservations before canceled their bookings.


    Just this morning, seven bookings had been canceled.


    Listening to her assistant, Shirley, on the other end of the phone, Veronica knew that Matthew must be


    behind it.


    He was infuriated, and this was his way of revenge on her.


    “Got it. If there are more customers who want to cancel the bookingster, just go along with it as long


    as they pay the penalty fee,” she instructed calmly.


    “Huh? Is there… Is there a problem, President Murphy?” Shirley was keen to find out if something


    happened.


    Veronica shook her head and replied, “Just make sure you do your part.”


    After speaking, she hung up the phone.


    However, her misery did not end there.


    Just when she had just put down her phone, another call came in.


    Picking up the phone, she saw that it was from Ivana.


    “Ivana, is there a reason why you’re calling so early?”


    In fact, she already had an idea.


    “Well…Veronica, erm…”


    On the other end of the phone, Ivana stammered as if she could not structure her sentence.


    Veronica took the initiative to speak instead, “Oh, I also have something to tell you. I thought about the


    endorsement offer you proposed to me yesterday, but I think I don’t want it anymore. Since I’m good at


    it, I worry that my poprity will grow once I take up this endorsement. I can’t imagine how tiring it will


    beter on when I get countless endorsements in the future. I probably can’t even live a normal and


    peaceful life! Hahaha. Sorry, Ivana. Can you tell your boss for me? Anyway, we haven’t signed the


    contract yet, so it should be fine, right?”


    Having said that, Veronica was just trying to save Ivana’s pride. She did not want to make her


    awkward.


    “Oh, is that so? Hehehe, well then. I’ll let my boss knowter. We’re friends too, so you don’t have to


    feel bad.”


    Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. The call was to tell Veronica about the cancetion of the endorsement,


    but it was difficult for Ivana to tell her. Who knew that Veronica would take the initiative to reject the


    offer?


    “I called you to set a date to sign the contract, but if you don’t want to, I’ll let my boss know. I’ll also


    come and visit you with Yvonne some other day, alright?”


    “Sure. Sorry for the trouble, Ivana.”


    “You’re wee. That’s what friends are for. I’ll get back to work first. Let’s get in touchter.”


    After Ivana finished speaking, she hung up the phone.


    Veronica clutched the phone, and a pale smile appeared on the corner of her lips.


    Yesterday, she told Matthew that she relied on the Kings Family to bring herself countless benefits and


    considered them as a way of hispensation to her, so Matthew immediately started to


    counterattack.


    Great.


    From now on, she could start her own business based on her own strength, and whether she


    seeded or failed depended on fate.


    More importantly, no one would be jealous of her and deliberately retaliate against her because of


    Matthew.


    Last night’s show was a great example.


    If she was right, the incident must have something to do with Ruka.


    On the contrary, Veronica was not saddened by Matthew’s series of actions but felt a sense of relief


    from the burden on her shoulders.


    Not long after, Yvonne came to the hospital to visit Veronica and bought her breakfast.


    Yvonne was also aware that Veronica temporarily decided not to ept the endorsement of Julius


    Atelier, so she did not bring that subject up.


    After all, everyone had their own choices.


    “Hey, where’s Matthew? Isn’t he here all the time?”


    Apanying Veronica in the ward for a while, Yvonne asked after not seeing Matthew.


    Without hiding it from Yvonne, she uttered in a direct manner, “We broke off.”


    “What? You broke it off with him? Veronica, are you insane?! Matthew treats you so well! How could


    you not cherish him?” Yvonne thought that there must be something wrong with Veronica’s mind.


    Unexpectedly, Veronica smiled faintly and inquired, “What about you? Aren’t you going through the


    same thing?”


    Matthew was not at fault for liking her, but she was also not at fault for rejecting Matthew either.


    It was just that the Kings Family had had a great influence on her recently. Hence, she might as well


    take this opportunity to draw a line in her rtionship with Matthew so that she would not have to bear


    so much pressure in the future.


    “You…”


    Yvonne choked on her words and was rendered speechless. “Okay, that sounds about right, but what


    did you say to make Matthew break it off with you?”


    After all, she could tell how well Matthew treated Veronica all this while.


    “That… That’s private.”


    “Tsk. Boring.”


    Since her gossip was not satisfied, Yvonne was a little unhappy.


    Knock! Knock!


    There was another knock on the door outside the ward, and the two turned their heads to look at the


    door. Thereafter, they saw Hendrey appear in their field of vision.


    “Goodness gracious. Is… Isn’t he your first love?”


    There was more tea to sip again this time, so Yvonne’s mood lightened up. With an unconcealed smile


    on her face, she patted Veronica’s hand and uttered, “Tsk tsk tsk… You must have broken up with


    Matthew just because you wanted to be with Hendrey, am I right? Was it a coincidence yesterday, or


    did you know he was back?”


    Regarding the short coincidence that happened yesterday, Yvonne was not sure whether Veronica truly


    did use that opportunity to confess to Hendrey.


    It seemed true yet not quite.


    “What do you think?”


    Veronica nced at her and urged, “You should leave now. Don’t you still have work to do?”


    “You…”


    She pouted and huffed in disdain, “How mean.”


    It was obvious that Veronica was kicking Yvonne out because she did not want her to ruin the


    atmosphere.


    Yvonne got up and agreed, “Fine. I’m leaving now because I don’t want to be third-wheeling you both.


    Goodbye.”


    She waved to Veronica, walked to the door, and greeted, “Hi! Hendrey, right? I’m Yvonne, Veronica’s


    best friend.”


    She initiated a greeting at Hendrey, scanned him up and down, and sighed in her heart, What a fine


    man.


    However,pared with Matthew, he wascking a whole lot in terms of appearance, temperament,


    financial resources, and strength.
