Chapter 360


    Chapter 360 Skyler Tests Veronica


    “No worries, it’s no big deal.” Skyler smiled sheepishly as he replied. His eyes were sharp as he studied


    Veronica, as if he was looking for any sort of hint.


    All this while, he was muttering in his heart, fearing that she would be furious at what she saw on the


    video and break up with Matthew.


    ording to Matthew, he was still on a probation period of three months. Skyler was afraid that she


    would break up with Matthew if she found out about this.


    Skyler did not dare to bring it up, let alone ask her.


    Instead, he tilted his head and nced at Monica, who was sitting on the side, sobbing with her head


    down. Shirley was by her side,forting Monica.


    Seeing that the two of them didn’t notice anything, Skyler leaned toward Veronica and asked in a low


    voice, “Roni, how are you and Matthew doing?”


    He was frantically trying to test her to see her reaction before analyzing whether she had overheard what


    had just happened.


    When she heard this, she was a little taken aback as she did not expect Matthew to share these things.


    However, he recalled that the two were very close, and it would make sense for him to do so.


    “Although I do owe you, I don’t think we know each other well enough for me to share about these,”


    Veronica answered aloofly.


    Skyler was at a loss for words.


    D*mn it, she was ruthless!


    “Hey, hey, hey. What about this? I’ll trade my favor for an answer!” This deal was such a steal for


    Veronica.


    “Just like that? Wouldn’t you be at a loss?”


    “No, I won’t. Matthew’s affairs are my topmost priority.”

    Skyler feared that his death day would be near if he identally ruined Matthew’s love life.


    “Oh. We’re alright. We’re still in a probationary period.” Her answer was extremely perfunctory.


    Skyler did not get the answer he wanted and asked again, “What do you think of Matthew right now?”


    “Your favor has been exchanged for an answer. Unfortunately, you’ve run out of favors,” Veronica replied


    indifferently.


    “Oh, hey, Roni, you’ve gone too far. I’ve rushed all the way here to help you. Aren’t you being somewhat


    unkind?”


    “Am I? I don’t think so.”


    Veronica’s red lips curved upwards slightly, and her shallow dimples could be seen. Her smile was


    enticing but also a little yful.


    “You—”


    Ding, ding, ding!


    Just as Skyler wanted to question her further, he heard her phone ring.


    Veronica reached out to take her phone. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, her face immediately


    sank, and she turned around to answer the phone.


    Once the phone was connected, she did not speak as she quietly waited for the caller to talk.


    “Veronica Murphy, you actually stood me up! Believe it or not, I will expose that shameful video of you


    and my brother to the Inte!” Melissa roared angrily.


    Nevertheless, Veronica was wholly unmoved by her threat.


    That was because she knew very well that one indulgence from her would lead to countless threats from


    Melissa as she became more unscrupulous.


    “If you want to post it, feel free to do so. Could it be that you would listen to me if I told you not to put it on


    the Inte?” Veronica sneered. She felt that both Melissa and her brother, Xavier, were sc*mbags.


    “Fine, I shall grant your wish.”


    After speaking, Melissa immediately hung up the phone.


    Veronica’s face turned serious when Melissa ended the call as she clutched the phone in her hand;


    uneasiness washed over her.


    Ever since Matthewunched an attack on the Crawfords, his actions had shaken the entire family’s


    impregnable status in the upper ss of society. As a result, their businesses gradually failed, and their


    cash flow stagnated. Soon, most of the factories began to close down due to bankruptcy.


    Even in the past two days, the stocks were limited; Veronica even heard that the Crawfords would


    suspend any new uing stocks.


    Investors that began to sell the Crawfords’ shares were disappointed as no one wanted to buy it from


    them. Thus, they could only watch as the stocks dropped, as theymented their fate.


    Therefore, the purpose of Melissa’s call today was evident.


    Then, Veronica started to think. In the future, even if she could turn things around and change the fortune


    of the Crawfords, Melissa would still continue to threaten her to do her bidding.


    “Hey, Roni, what are you thinking about?”


    Skyler, who was standing next to her, saw Veronica lowering her head in thought as she hung up the


    phone. Yet, he shouted for her a few times, but she did not respond.


    Skyler assumed that something must have happened to her.


    “Huh? Oh, no, it’s fine.”


    Veronica quickly put her phone away and spoke to Skyler, “Anyway, thank you very much for today. I will


    buy you dinner once you’re free.”


    After she said this, she did not bother to give Skyler a chance to speak as she walked past him and


    toward Monica.


    “Monica, are you okay?” she patted Monica on the shoulder andforted her.


    “Wahh…. President Murphy, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help today, I wouldn’t have known


    what to do.”


    Monica held a ball of tissue in her hand as she rubbed her red and swollen eyes, choking and sobbing.


    Then, Veronica noticed that there was a cut on Monica’s mouth which was a little ck-blue. In addition,


    there were several scratches on her cheeks, and her hair was a mess.


    “What happened to you? How did you get hurt?”


    Veronica was confused.


    Logically speaking, Monica’s mother is old. And no matter how strong she was, she couldn’t beat Monica


    up like this.


    Shirley, who was beside her, quickly exined, “Roni, stop bringing it up. That older woman is ruthless.


    She went to the extent of calling her daughter and son-inw to beat Monica up like this. That older


    woman is shameless! If you ask me, I think that old woman should’ve gone to jail with her son!”


    “What the f*ck, that man is a horrible husband. If you asked me, it would be best to get a divorce as soon


    as possible so you wouldn’t be stuck with this piece of cr*p.”


    Skyler, who was walking over, became annoyed when he heard what Shirley had said.


    When Monica saw Skr approach, she immediately stood up and kneeled before him. “Young Master


    Skyler, thank you. Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you today, I wouldn’t have known that the


    immigration counter was automatic.


    Monica’s son was still young and fragile. Nevertheless, her mother-inw threw the child to the ground


    during today’s struggle, causing severe cerebral hemorrhage and weakened breathing.


    As her son’s condition was severe, along with the fact that New Year was approaching, no hospital dared


    to take Monica’s son in.


    Entirely at a loss of what to do, she couldn’t bring herself to beg for help from Veronica.


    Monica sobbed as she thanked Skyler. “President Murphy, thank you for your help. You and Skyler are


    my son’s saviors. I really…thank you so much!”


    Monica was a beautiful woman with long straight ck hair. So, her sad face from sobbing could easily


    incite one’s urge to sympathize with her.


    “Enough, get up. It’s no big deal.”


    Therefore, Skyler couldn’t stand how pitiful she was and felt a sense of difort as Monica sobbed her


    heart out in gratitude.


    Throughout all these, Veronica hadn’t spoken a single word.


    Although she knew that Monica was the one who owed Skr a favor, Veronica was her superior and


    would have to thank Skyler. Regardless, Monica was the one who benefited from his actions, so she


    would have to thank him herself.


    It was something they needed to settle on their own.


    The silent hallways of the hospital echoed with Monica’s choked sobs.
