Chapter 496


    Chapter 496 Let’s Find Matthew


    After Veronica ended her conversation with Yvonne, she ced the phone on the bedside. Just as she


    was about to close her eyes and rest, her phone rang again.


    The person who called her this time was Shirley. Then, she received a call from Monica. After that,


    several partners of Vincere Games also called her and asked her about her condition. Finally, she


    received a call from Miguel. “Mr. Lynch?”


    At first, Veronica deliberately teased Miguel because Matthew broke up with her. It was an act she


    purposely put up for Matthew. However, she didn’t feel the need to deliberately tease Miguel again now


    that she had discovered the truth.


    “I saw all the news articles on the Inte. You—is your face okay?” Miguel was a little worried about


    Veronica. “Nothing major. I’ll be fine once the swelling subsides.” Veronica replied nonchntly.


    As Miguel listened to the rxed and joyous tone in her voice through the phone, he wondered whether


    she was just pretending to be calm and rxed to prevent anyone from knowing how much she was truly


    suffering.


    “I did ask you to work hard, but I never said you can put down your dignity to grasp this job opportunity,”


    Miguel said sternly, his serious nature that rarely appeared showed in his tone.


    He was probably highly opposed to Veronica’s way of seeking a job.

    “Dignity?”


    Veronica carefully discerned the word as she curled the corners of her lips into a smile, then continued.


    “What is dignity when I have no job and therefore no source of ie? I’m just trying to survive in our


    cruel society, that’s all.”


    Although Veronica was acting this time, she actually felt firsthand what it meant to survive with little to no


    dignity when her adoptive parents were hospitalized in a car ident and needed money for medical


    and surgical expenses. Likewise, it was also at that time that she understood the meaning of dignity.


    After she said those words, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.


    When she noticed Miguel’s hesitance, Veronica said, “Miguel, I’m doing quite well. Thank you for your


    concern, but I’m sleepy. We’ll keep in touch again.”


    As soon as she said that, she directly hung up on Miguel.


    Unexpectedly, the phone started to ring again just after seconds she put it down.


    At this rate, she could feel her patience wearing thin.


    She had expected the video to make the news headlines, and the only thing she wanted to do now was


    to avoiding across this matter. She tried her best to restrain herself from reading the news and


    looking up at those gossip as well as unsightlyments.


    Nevertheless, it gave her a headache after seeing these people call her repetitively, one after another.


    “Hello?”


    Just as she was about to answer yet another phone call, she realized that she hadn’t checked who the


    caller was, so she brought the phone before her narrowed eyes and nced at the caller ID. Hence,


    when she saw it was Larry, she answered the call with her eyes closed and saidzily, “Make it snappy.


    I’m trying to sleep here.”


    “Demoness, how can you still sleep at such a crucial hour? Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the news


    articles on the trending topics yet!” Larry was surprised.


    “I saw,” Veronica said rather impatiently, “But what else can I do even if I saw it? Since it’s already


    making headlines, just let it be. I won’t lose anything anyway, and it doesn’t impact me much. It’s nothing


    but just another topic for those idlers to gossip about, that’s all.”


    She was exceptionally calm, and such eerie calmness she was disying was entirely beyond Larry’s


    expectations.


    So, he scratched his nose as he carefully mulled over her words, then nodded firmly. “Your words do


    make sense.”


    Nevertheless, Larry’s confused brain suddenly became functional again. “No, that doesn’t sound right.


    I’ve heard about Matthew going against you, but with your capability, you don’t have to abuse yourself for


    the sake of selling a car. You can always seek refuge with me as yourst resort. Besides, Stephen also


    said he would connect you with his foreign friends and help you to get into the entertainment industry.


    How about that?”


    “That won’t be necessary.”


    Veronica declined his offer without hesitation. “I’m not that interested in the entertainment industry.”


    Despite saying that, as someone who was once in showbiz, she knew the words she said to Larry


    weren’t genuine.


    Matthew has already imed that whoever recruits me in the entertainment industry will be his enemy.


    It’s clear that I won’t have a chance to shine in Destor. Hence, He’ll definitely bring me abroad to develop


    my career growth if I am to follow Larry.


    She knew her abilities well and was sure that she didn’t have such skills to survive abroad, so she had all


    the more reason to stay in Bloomstead.


    Only in Bloomstead can I train and be of better help to Matthew!


    “You!!”


    Larry was at a loss for words for a while. He had a headache because of Veronica’s stubbornness. “Why


    are you so strong-headed? Demoness, I never thought you would do such a thing in order to sell a car.


    You can tell me if you face any difficulties. I’ll support you too, even if you’re jobless in the future.”


    “Support me? How am I going to repay you? Are you perhaps thinking of asking me to devote my life to


    you?” Veronica covered her lips andughed, “Hahaha—if so, I hit the jackpot.”


    In reality, her rtionship with Larry was wholly tonic. Naturally, none of them would have improper


    desires for each other.


    “Bullsh*t! You don’t look like a woman at all. What’s the difference between marrying you and staying


    single?” Larry teased snappishly. Despite his teasing, he breathed out a long sigh after saying those


    words.


    Just when he was about to say something, Veronica heard a voice sound on the other end of the phone.


    “Larry! Quick! It’s time to take the action scenes between you and Stephen. Hurry and get yourself butt


    over to rehearse the lines.”


    “I got it!” Larry responded. After that, he said to Veronica, “Alright. I need to get back to work. Let’s chat


    later.”


    Veronica only had her moment of leisure after she hung up the phone.


    Ten minutester, a mobile phone SMS alert sounded.


    She turned on her phone and clicked on the SMS. She saw it was a transaction notification sent by the


    bank. ‘Oculus Bank: 500,000.00 received from Larry Freeman to your ount ending with 7539 at


    9.37PM on July 15. The bnce of the ount is…’


    Shortly after, another WhatsApp message popped on her phone just when she read the SMS. When she


    opened it, she realized it was a voice note from Larry. ‘I transferred 500,000 to you. You can use it for


    now. Just rest at home for a while if you don’t wish to enter the entertainment industry. But, please switch


    to another job once the storm is over. As for your job at the automobile shop, just ditch it and don’t report


    to duty tomorrow.’


    Since Larry had always been carefree and joyful when she got along with him, it rather made Veronica a


    little ufortable when she heard the serious and calm tone in his voice at this moment.


    Even so, Veronica simply thanked him for his help.


    After she had sent the text, she switched off her phone and went to sleep.


    Otherwise, she really didn’t know who else would call her.


    The following day, Veronica woke up feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep. The first thing she did


    was look at her face in the mirror. She only felt relieved once she was certain that the swelling had


    subsided.


    After her morning exercise, she had a hearty breakfast. Then, she went to the bank and transferred back


    the 500,000 that Larry had transferred to herst night.


    I don’t need and shouldn’t take this money. But, even though she didn’t ept the money, she would


    never forget Larry’s kindness toward her in her moment of need.


    Later, Yvonne contacted Veronica as they intended to discuss the matter of having Ian return to Yvonne’s


    care with Matthew. She drove over to pick Veronica up, and the two headed straight to Spinfluence


    Group.


    Once they arrived at the Spinfluence Group’s office building, they entered the building on the first floor


    and stopped at the front desk. Yvonne stepped forward and said to the receptionist, “Hello, we’re here to


    look for President Kings.”


    The receptionist at the front desk regarded Yvonne and then at Veronica. “Do you have an


    appointment?”


    “She’s the godsister of President Kings, and it’s Old Mrs. Kings who asked her toe,” Yvonne lied


    while directly pointing at Veronica.


    “I’m really sorry. President Kings said that Miss Murphy isn’t allowed to enter the Spinfluence Group’s


    office building. The decision is final, and it won’t change even if she shows up with Old Mrs. Kings.”


    The front desk beauty exined, telling them that she wasn’t intentionally making things difficult for


    them.


    Veronica frowned, feeling a little helpless. Nevertheless, she naturally needed to finish her act since she


    was acting.


    Hence, she mmed the front desk angrily. “What’s the meaning of this?! Why aren’t you guys letting me


    in to find Matthew?!”
