Chapter 334


    Chapter 334 A 100-Million Transfer


    Being a woman herself, Elizabeth understood the difficult position Conrad’s mother was in. She had a


    son with Howard, but he never acknowledged her as his wife in the end.


    She had always known her ce. If someone had to be med for this, Howard was the one who


    should be med. Conrad’s mother was a nice person, which was why Elizabeth, who saw everything


    in ck and white, was especially nice to Conrad.


    Matthew’s handsome face looked somewhat frosty. “Uncle Conrad has something to do with what


    happened to Roni this time. I can forgive him once, but three strikes and he’s out.”


    “Okay, I got it,” Elizabeth replied, but she didn’t care about this at all. She couldn’t help but question


    again, “Now then, when are you gonna marry Veronica? If you don’t hold onto such a nicedy, she


    might be someone else’s wife.”


    “There’s no hurry. She’s just 22 years old.”


    “You’re not in a hurry, but I am.”


    “Even if you’re in a hurry, you have to wait.”


    “That’s f*cking nonsense! How many years can I wait now that I already have one foot in the grave?


    Why is it so hard to have a great-grandson?” Elizabeth swore in anger. “A year—I’m giving you a year


    at most. You two must get married by then!”


    “Three years!” Matthew protested.


    “No chance. I’m giving you guys two years at most.”


    “We won’t get married, then,” Matthew replied nonchntly while turning to look somewhere else.


    “How dare you…” Elizabeth sat up angrily before pping his arm forcefully. “Are you trying to piss me


    off? What a good-for-nothing who can’t even deal with a woman! How useless of you to have such


    good looks for nothing!” Every word she said was filled with her distaste for him.


    Then, she pointed at him, saying, “Hmph! Don’t me me for not reminding you. Veronica is not only


    fair and pretty, but she’s also a reliable person destined for greatness. If you don’t hold her in your


    grasp right now, then don’t cry in front of me when someone steals her away one day.”


    Matthew’s thin lips parted slightly. He wanted to make a retort, but he suddenly found that there was


    some truth in Elizabeth’s words.


    “Enough, just get out of here and take care of the matter. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself again.”


    Elizabeth urged him to leave with a wave of her hand. Then, she added, “From tomorrow onward, you


    no longer have toe back as long as Veronica doesn’t return to the Kings Residence. It irks me to


    see you.”


    Matthew was rendered speechless. Good God, my standing has plummeted now that there’s Veronica!


    He left the ward.


    Seeing the man stepping out of the ward, Veronica immediately stood up and stared at him with a


    complicated look in her eyes. “Are you okay?”


    A smile of satisfaction appeared on Matthew’s good-looking face as he put up his hand and gently


    caressed her cheek with his thumb. “I’ve never felt better than I do now.”


    Veronica was dumbfounded. “Huh? What makes you say so now that so many things have happened?”


    “You weren’t there before,” Matthew replied.


    His words tugged at Veronica’s heartstrings, causing her heart to flutter.


    Putting his arm around her waist, Matthew pulled her into his arms and leaned forward to peck her on


    the lips before straightening up. “I’ve talked to Grandma, and she’ll keep our rtionship a secret.”


    “Really?”


    “Of course.”


    “That’s great.” Veronica looked up at him with starry eyes as her red lips curled into a sweet, charming


    smile. “Thank you, Matthew.”


    Matthew’s face darkened slightly when she thanked him. Leaning forward again, he bit her lips lightly,


    causing her to gasp in pain. Only then did he warn, “Don’t say the words ‘thank you’ to me anymore.”


    “If I can’t say ‘thank you’ to you, what else should I do?”


    “You can…” Matthew paused mid-sentence. Then, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Why say


    ‘thank you’ to me when you can deal with it with your body instead? How insincere.”


    “Matthew, are you letting your lust take control of you?” Veronica knitted her fine eyebrows. “Why have


    I never realized before that you have no sense of shame? Since you’re so lustful, you must’ve slept


    with a lot of prostitutes in the past.”


    Matthew pinched her waist gently with his hand that was around her waist. “Am I that kind of person in


    your mind?”


    “Yes, you are. I only agreed to go out with youst night, but you never seemed to stop.”


    Upon hearing this, Matthew pressed his forehead against hers with a gentle smile. He said


    affectionately, “Perhaps it’s thanks to your charm. I’ve been unable to hold back my lust for you since


    you agreed to go out with me.”


    “You’re ming me, huh? Let’s break up, then. Our rtionship is still on a trial period, anyway.”


    “It’s toote for that!” Matthew hugged her tightly. Then, he continued, “Grandma is right that women


    are capricious. I should have married you at once instead of agreeing to wait a few years before


    marrying you. Roni, if I do well during my three-month probation, can we register our marriage first?”


    All of a sudden, he felt a sense of danger and thought that Elizabeth’s words made a lot of sense. They


    could get engagedte and get marriedte without making their marriage public. However, they could


    get married in secret right now without living together.


    Veronica was startled; she wasn’t prepared at all. “What? Register our marriage? Do we need to be so


    hasty?”


    “No, it’s not hasty at all,” Matthew replied in a deep, husky voice. “You’re such a great person,


    Veronica. You’ve got a lot of admirers. I’m afraid that if I don’t hold onto you, you’ll run away with


    someone elseter. Where am I supposed to find my wife by then?”


    “Pffft…” Veronica was amused by the man’s words. He had always been as proud as a peacock, with


    an air of detachment that would keep any strangers away. Not only that, but he was aloof and lordly,


    like an otherworldly angel. At this very moment, however, his words sounded so down-to-earth that she


    nearly thought everything was an illusion.


    “Don’tugh!” Matthew bit her lips again. “It’s okay if you don’t want to let the outside world know about


    our rtionship, but we can choose to get married in secret. Does that sound okay to you?”


    “Getting married in secret?” Suddenly, Veronica thought it good to get married in secret. That way, they


    would still be together, and the outside world wouldn’t know about their rtionship.


    “Alright. As long as you pass your three-month probation period, I’ll agree to it.” They had known each


    other for so long, but it was only after many twists and turns that they fell in love with each other.


    Perhaps this kind of love was even more hard-earned.


    “In that case, stay here with Grandma and act in front of those elders. I’m going back to my office first.”


    “Uh, okay. Let’s stay in touch by phone,” Veronica replied.


    Matthew kissed her. Then, he let go of her and left.


    Standing where she was, Veronica watched as Matthew entered the elevator. At that very moment, she


    suddenly felt that love was really wonderful—so wonderful that even the air smelled sweet when they


    were together.


    After a long time, she finally pped her head in realization. “Am I crazy? How could I agree to his


    proposal to get married in secret?” As expected, women are stupid when they’re in love. She turned


    around and entered the ward to chat with Elizabeth.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Half an hourter, her phone beeped with an iing text message. She picked it up and took a look,


    only to see that it was a transaction notification.
