Chapter 362


    Chapter 362 Appalling Action Movie


    Indeed, Melissa had certain special hobbies; she liked these videos and even enjoyed collecting them.


    However, the security on her phone was nigh unbreakable; that was why she was so bold as to


    download them to her phone for future perusal. She even made sure to lock the photos and videos in her


    phone’s gallery with a password. That way, outsiders had no chance to view them at all.


    Therefore, she didn’t expect that her videos would be leaked after clicking the link sent by Veronica.


    As Veronica listened to the howl from the other end of the phone, the corner of her rosy lips curled into


    vindictive satisfaction, and the illusion of the sword of Damocles she felt brushing against her nape


    dissipated.


    “Phew…” She leaned against the gaming chair in the booth. At that moment, she simply felt that she was


    blessed by heaven. The ckmail material she had on Melissa was enough to ensure that the rabid


    woman would leave her alone for the time being, at the very least.


    Otherwise, Veronica really had no idea how to deal with Melissa’s threat.


    After that, she continued leaning against the chair in thepartment, utterly immersed in her thoughts.


    The atmosphere outside her booth at the Inte cafe was still as noisy as ever. When she realized that


    themotion was still ongoing due to her earlier actions, only then did she react, and she immediately


    restored all theputers in the Inte cafe. After that, she opened the live broadcast software to


    watch the match between Legion of Vin and the top team from Daalgas.


    In the end, Legion of Vin defeated the team from Daalgas with a 2:1 advantage.


    It was an indisputable fact that the team had won.


    At the same time, Jayden and Shawn, partners of Vincere Games, sent a congrattory message on


    WhatsApp. Naturally, this put Veronica in a good mood.


    She kept smiling as she rested her arms on the armrests until she suddenly thought of something. Then,


    she took her phone and called Matthew.


    After she dialed the number, it took a while for the other party to answer her call.


    “Roni?” Instantly, the familiar and gentle voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Even if Veronica


    had heard this charmingly maic voice a thousand times, it would still make her heart flutter.


    “Have you slept?” Her tone was calm, and not an ounce of displeasure was heard in her voice.


    “Yeah. I slept.” Matthew replied.


    Unfortunately, these words that he whispered gently felt like a harsh blow to Veronica as the sharp sting


    of betrayal seeped into her heart.


    Slept?


    Veronica nced at theputer and noticed only a mere 30 minutes had passed since Skyler called


    him.


    Yet, he said he slept?!


    “In that case, have a good rest. I got to get busy.”


    Although the weather was cold enough to freeze the tail off a brass monkey, the staff in the Inte cafe


    had turned on the heater to ensure their customers’ satisfaction, so the establishment was warm and


    cozy.


    s, those words that escaped Matthew’s lips sent her into an abyss of frost and biting chill.


    It was a kind of a disappointment that spread from the bottom of her heart and made every pore in her


    body seep with coldness.


    Matthew went abroad for half a month, and he did keep in touch with Veronica during this period. Yet,


    she hardly ever called him at this time.


    Therefore, right at that moment, he knew there must be something up with Veronica for her to suddenly


    give him a call.


    “What’s the matter? Did something happen?” he asked with concern.


    “It’s nothing. I just wanted to inform you that I’m returning to my hometown.”


    “I heard from Thomas that it’s still snowing in Bloomstead. So, don’t drive when you go back.” He was


    still as attentive and thoughtful as ever.


    Nevertheless, it was different for Veronica this time. The scene of Matthew sitting with the sexy woman


    and his shoulders being hugged by the woman appeared in Veronica’s mind.


    At this juncture, she merely felt she was not the only person he ‘cared for with great solicitude’.


    Promiscuous!


    “Okay then, bye.” Veronica hung up the phone directly. Then, she got up and left the Inte cafe.


    After she exited the Inte cafe, she stood by the roadside. As she looked at the empty space where


    she had parked her car just now, she simply felt that even the ice-cold water from Antarctica was not


    enough to cool down her anger at this point.


    Due to her rush to stop Melissa, she parked her car randomly on the roadside when she entered the


    Inte cafe. Who knew her car would be towed away after a while.


    At the end of the day, all she could do was press her palms against her forehead as she sighed in


    frustration.


    She had no choice but to stop a taxi on the roadside. Then, she went to the Traffic Police Division and


    paid the fine and towing fee. It took her a while to settle everything.


    Later, she bought a bunch of nutritional supplements and went to the hospital to visit Monica’s child.


    However, the doctor in charge transferred the child to the ICU after leaving the emergency room.


    When she was chatting with Monica and Shirley in the hospital ward, Hendrey called.


    Veronica walked out to answer the phone. “Hendrey?”


    “Roni, have you gone home yet?” Hendrey asked. Then, he immediately added, “I’m talking about


    returning to your hometown.”


    “No, not yet. I’m going back tomorrow.”


    “Let’s go back together. Mypany is also having a holiday, and I haven’t returned to my hometown for


    a long time. This is perfect! Now we can go back together.”


    “That’s great. I was still thinking that I would feel lonely driving back alone.”


    “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”


    “Sure.”


    “Hahaha, okay. Then I’ll see youter.”


    With that, the two agreed on a time to meet before hanging up.


    Veronica put away her phone. Before she could enter the ward, Veronica saw Monicae out and


    stand beside the ICU ward. The woman was looking inside through the ss wall with an expectant yet


    distraught look.


    Since Skyler had personally greeted the hospital’s director, Monica was allowed to stay in the standard


    ward next to the ICU ward so that things would be convenient for her if she ever wanted to check on her


    son.


    Veronica sighed as she walked over and said to Monica, “Your mother-inw shouldn’t beat you and your


    son up no matter how angry she was. My suggestion will be that you should report to the police and


    make a statement.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Yeah. What Veronica said makes sense.”


    Besides Veronica, Shirley also started persuading Monica, “If you don’t file for a police report and


    frighten them this time, they’ll definitely do it again next time.”


    Monica stared at the child lying inside the ICU ward with unblinking eyes as tears ran down her cheeks.


    Finally, she nodded resolutely after a brief hesitation. “Okay, I’ll do it.”


    She turned back, looked at Veronica, pursed her lips, and sped her hands together cautiously. Then,


    as her head lowered in gratitude and guilt, she professed in choked sobs. “President Murphy, I was the


    one who had wronged you before. I wouldn’t know what would have happened if it weren’t for your


    generosity.”


    Veronica immediatelyforted Monica upon hearing her words by saying, “Nah, it’s alright. No need to


    thank me. We’re acquaintances, not strangers.” After that, she added again, “Take good care of yourself


    and your son. I’m still waiting for you toe back to help me one day.”


    “Yes, I will definitely do so.” Monica was grateful.


    In the evening, Veronica arrived at the Turkish restaurant as agreed with Hendrey.


    When she arrived, he was already there.


    So, she couldn’t help but smile in slight embarrassment as she apologized, “Sorry for keeping you


    waiting.”


    “Oh, not at all. I just arrived too.” While Hendrey talked, he poured a ss of water for Veronica and


    ced it before her. Then, he handed her the menu. “Take a look. What do you want to eat?”


    “It’s okay. You can proceed to order first. As for me, I’ll wait for my girlfriend toe over before


    ordering.” Hendrey smiled warmly, raised his hand, and pushed the sses on his nose bridge.


    Veronica, who was drinking water, was startled and asked in surprise, “You have a girlfriend? So soon?”


    “I met herst time I came back. It took me a long time to sessfully court her.”


    “Which beautiful youngdy actually received your affection? Such a luckydy.”


    “You know her.”


    “Who is it?” Veronica looked curious.


    “You’ll find outter.” Hendrey kept her guessing.


    Knock, knock, knock—


    While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door.


    Immediately afterward, the room door opened. The person outside pushed the door and walked in.


    A beautiful woman wearing a long woolen coat, slightly curly long hair, a khaki beret, and light makeup


    came into sight.


    Nevertheless, when Veronica looked up at the oing person, her pupils suddenly trembled, and she


    could feel the chill running down her spine.


    “Tiffany, you’re here?”


    Hendrey immediately stood up and walked to her once he saw Tiffany. Then, he took the bag from her


    hand and took her hand as he escorted her to the table. Finally, he said to Veronica, “The two of you


    should know each other, so there’s no need for me to introduce you further.”
