Chapter 427


    Chapter 427 Sasha’s Back


    On the phone, Yvonne would not stop crying and Veronica was trying her best to calm her down. “Don’t


    worry about it. It’s alright. I’ll go to your ce right now.” She hung up and looked at the time. 2.00PM…


    Peak hour. No wonder the ambnce is stuck in traffic. “Matthew? Matthew?” Seeing that he was not in


    the living room, she went to his study instead.


    “Matthew, are you—” She thought he would be in his study, but it was empty. “Where is he?” She heaved


    a sigh and called Matthew. Headed to the porch, she changed into her shoes and left the house. The


    moment she entered the elevator, the call went through and she could finally get hold of him.


    “Oh, you’re awake,” said Matthew.


    “Where are you?” she asked. Just as she was about to hear his answer, she lost all signal when she


    went into the elevator. As such, she came to the parking lot on the second floor of the basement and


    headed toward Matthew’s parking spot.


    At that moment, she saw him near his parking spot and a drop dead beauty with long, curly hair and


    short crimson skirt was standing before him. Who is she? She was about to go ahead and meet up with


    him, but then that mysterious woman suddenly hugged Matthew.


    “It’s been a while, Matt. I miss you.” Sasha held him tightly then let him go, only to punch him in the


    chest. “You’re such a blockhead. You could have called. You can’t expect me to do all the work.”


    “You’re a woman. I don’t see the point in calling you.” Matthew frowned with impatience clearly shing in


    his eyes. “What do you want?”


    “You’re still the same blockhead I used to know.” She thumped his chest again. “You can’t talk to ady


    like that. I came to see you because I wanna.” She stomped her foot and her face red with


    embarrassment.


    “Can you stop talking like an anime girl?” Matthew was starting to get really impatient now. He hated it


    when Sasha spoke like this.


    “That’s just how I talk. Hmph!” She snorted and approached him again. This time, she held his arm. “I


    don’t care. I don’t get to see you every day. You’re spending the day with me and I demand a weing


    banquet too,” she said imperiously, refusing to give him any space to negotiate.


    The man froze up and shot her an icy re. “Hold my arm like that again and I’ll bust up your fake


    boobs.”


    Still, Sasha was not even mad about the threat. Instead, she was amused and she puffed her chest out,


    showing off her cleavage. “Impressive, aren’t they? I spent a ton of money on them. Bust them up and


    you’re paying for the recement.”


    “How about I pay for the coffin I’ll put you in?”


    “Hey, you can’t just…” She could not argue anymore and flung his arm away. “You’re so cruel, Matt.


    You’d toss your old me behind just because you got a new girl? You’re a jerk.”


    “Are you talking about me?” The woman who was standing afar could not take it anymore. They were


    getting too close forfort. Herfort. As such, Veronica finally approached them.


    If this had happened back then, the old Veronica would have flown into a rage if she saw Matthew flirting


    with another woman, but after everything they went through, she knew he would not betray her; she


    trusted him.


    “Oh, you really didn’t have toe down, Veronica.” Matthew flung Sasha away and approached his


    woman.


    Veronica looked at him for a moment and turned her gaze to this impossibly sexy woman. “Is this your


    friend, Matthew? Care to do the intro?”


    Just as Sasha was appraising Veronica, she approached her and extended her hand. “Hi, I’m Sasha.


    You must be Veronica.”


    She was standing too far away to see this woman clearly earlier, but now she realized who the woman


    was. She was the same one who video-called Skyler at Westcross and hugged Matthew. Why is she


    here?


    “That’s a nice name.” Veronica generously shook her hand. “Are you Matthew’s friend?”


    “Yes.” Matthew was standing beside Veronica with one arm around her shoulder as he nodded.


    “We used to sleep together. We’re more than friends.”


    “Can you shut the f*ck up?” Matthew shot Sasha a freezing re. If looks could kill, she would be dead


    at this point.


    “Why should I? I’m not lying. We used to sleep on the same bed. I wet the bed once and you kicked me


    out of it. My mom told me about it all the time.” Sasha was bringing up the past earnestly. She had a


    serious and innocent look on her face as if she really thought of him as a friend and nothing more.

    Is she Matthew’s female friend? Veronica was not sure, but she could not ask as that would be too rude.


    “You sure are a good friend.” She smiled. “I have something to do. Gotta go now. You guys have fun.”


    Veronica did not mean anything by that, but Matthew had assumed she was angry. As such, he held her


    hand and asked, “Where are you going?”


    “Yvonne said she’s bleeding. She’s literally bawling on the phone earlier. I need to see her right now.”


    “I’ll go with you.”


    “You’re a guy. You can’t help me.” Veronica refused. Then, she looked at Sasha and smiled. “It’s not


    every day you get to see a friend. You should show her around town. I’ll callter.”


    “I—” Matthew was about to refuse when Sasha nodded quickly. “Sure thing, Miss Murphy.” A smile curled


    her lips, but there was no delight in her eyes. She was still appraising Veronica and wondering why


    Matthew was so crazy about her. There must be something different about her.


    Meeting her gaze, Veronica could sense the enmity in Sasha’s eyes and it was a familiar look. It was like


    Sasha was looking at someone who took the guy she liked away from her. Yeah. She likes him, but this


    is not the time to dwell on crushes. “You guys have fun. I’ll be going now. Bye.” She waved her hand at


    the woman while swaying her car key around. Before she left, she held Matthew’s neck and pushed him


    down. She then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lip, telling Sasha that Matthew was her boyfriend,


    not anyone else’s.


    Caught off guard by that, Matthew realized that Veronica was jealous of Sasha and that fact alone


    delighted him.


    She cocked her eyebrow and smiled, then entered her car and revved it up. Just a momentter, the car


    was already out of sight.


    With that, Sasha and Matthew saw her off. A momentter, she broke the silence and clicked her tongue.


    “Hmph… Marking her territory, I see.”
