Chapter 659 Insatiable Greed
“Veronica Murphy!” Sasha shrieked. Her eyes were round with fury. “I gave you a chance before! Matt
said he loved you and wanted to marry you, so I came to ept that and didn’t try to ruin your
wedding. I did my best to give the two of you my blessing. But what about you? You caused him to end
up like this! Does he have to die before you’re satisfied?”
In her rage, she wagged her finger at Veronica. “You know, for the past three months, if it hadn’t been
for Drew and the others holding me back, I would’ve marched right over and made you pay for this!”
Veronica had been tormented for the past three months due to Matthew’s disappearance, but Sasha
was no better. She was either drowning herself in alcohol or sending people out to look for Matthew. All
she wanted was to find him before Veronica did.
Unfortunately for her, her wish had not been granted. She was a step toote.
Veronica took a deep breath topose herself. She nced at Matthew before stating calmly to
Sasha, “Let me thank you on Matt’s behalf. He’s a lucky man for being loved by you, but Sasha, he’s
the father of the two babies that I’m carrying right now. So what if he’s injured? Even if he’s in aa, I
would still stay by his side and take care of him his entire life.” “You…”
“That’s enough, Sasha!” Sasha wanted to continueshing out, but Caleb couldn’t stand it anymore. He
spoke up and admonished her. “Matt was prepared for everything from the day he married her, even
death.”

“They’re married now. Legally, they’re husband and wife. Stop causing a scene,” Miguel added. “Y-You
guys…”
These were all her closest friends once, but they were now all standing up for Veronica. She was
infuriated, but she could not refute them.
She clenched her fists and crouched down in front of Matthew before saying softly to him, “Matt, do you
want to leave with her or with me? I’ll do as you say. As long as you’re willing to leave with me, I’ll take
you with me, even if it means cutting off all ties with them.”
The conflict between the two women reached its peak.
Sadie was at a loss.
As she observed these people who were dressed immactely and carried themselves with an air of
refinement, she made up her mind. “Hang on. Since you’re all his friends, I’ll let you take him away, but
you must give me 750,000 aspensation, or else, don’t even think about taking him away!”
“Fine!”
“Alright.”
Both Veronica and Sasha agreed at once.
Sadie was a little taken aback.
They agreed right away. Did I ask for too little?
Is it toote for me to ask for 1.5 million instead?
“Uh… 750,000 is just a reward for saving him. If we add in the cost of treatment and daily expenses,
you’ll need to give me another, fifty… uh, no, another 150,000. Yes, another 150,000!”
Sadie held her fingers up for emphasis.
“Sure.”
“Sure.”
The two women responded in unison again.
Sadie did not expect that.
Oh, shoot. I didn’t think it through.
Her eyes flickered and she changed her tune right away. “Uh… Why don’t we just round it up to… 1.5
million?”
Since they agreed to 900,000, 1.5 million should be no big deal to them.
As soon as her words rang out, everyone’s expressions changed. They all turned to her with warning
looks in their eyes.
Under the overwhelming pressure of all the gazes that were on her, she quickly backtracked with a
smile. “Haha. That’s a bit much, huh? Haha. I was kidding. It’s just a joke. 900,000 it is then. Make the
transfer first.”
“Thomas, get in touch with the finance department and ask them to transfer 900,000 to Miss Sadie
Anderson over here,” Veronica instructed Thomas.
Sadie did save Matthew and they were all grateful to her for it, but her increasing demands earlier
proved that her greed was insatiable.
