    Chapter 1038 Conrad Is Furious


    Eleanor smiled indifferently. Then, she looked at Matthew for a moment beforending her gaze on


    Veronica. "Your husband hates me, Veronica," she said while pointing at him.


    "He just can''t stand your enthusiasm." Veronica chuckled.


    Although she knew Eleanor had feelings for Matthew, she was clear that it was in the past. Now,


    Eleanor didn''t like Matthew. Thus, they treated her as a friend as well as their savior.


    When Thomas and Yvette saw their interactions, they were surprised. However, they dared not ask any


    questions. Mr. and Mrs. Kings treat Eleanor differently, they thought.


    Just then, Shirley appeared in the living room. "Eleanor," she called out. The mask she wore was big


    enough to cover half of her face, so the scars on her nose weren''t noticeable.


    "Hey." Skyler wrapped his arm around Shirley and waved at Eleanor.


    "Hello." nor waved back.


    The loneliness in her heart slowly disappeared when she saw the familiar faces before her.


    In the hidden n, she was the most talented and famous person. However, now that she was in an


    unfamiliar ce, she had to get used to the different environment, which gave her lots of pressure and


    challenges.


    "Since you want to prepare a weing banquet for me, I want you to cook, Master," said Eleanor.


    Then, she walked past Matthew and entered the living room. "Can I look around your house,


    Veronica?"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Sure thing." Veronica carried the baby and walked up the stairs. Then, she handed the baby to the


    babysitter before leading Eleanor into the house.


    After the women entered the living room, Caleb crossed his arms and stood before Matthew. "I must


    say, Princess Eleanor is indeed beautiful. It looks like Veronica has apetitor," he remarked


    yfully.


    Hearing his words, Matthew nced at him coldly and uttered, "Get lost."


    "Understood." Caleb gave him a thumbs up. "Drew, Miguel, let''s y poker. You too, Troy. After all, we


    don''t have enough yers since your boss is busy cooking for thedies."


    "Okay," Troy said without hesitation.


    "Thomas, take Yvette with you and bring Old Mrs. Kings over," Matthew ordered Thomas.


    Soon, the usual quiet Pinewoods Vi became lively due to the crowd.


    Yet, not everyone was happy.


    At Spinfluence Group, Conrad immediately dialed the inte when he saw the news on the TV. He


    told his subordinates to check whether Matthew was dead or not. Soon, they returned with news that


    Matthew was still alive. At that moment, Conrad swept hisptop to the ground in a fit of anger.


    A loud crash sounded in the huge office room, and a cup shattered when it was dragged along with the


    laptop.


    However, Conrad didn''t seem satisfied. He swept all the documents to the floor, wanting to unleash his


    anger. Then, he kicked away the papers andputer that were on the floor.


    "Alive? How is he still alive? He should be dead by now!" Conrad roared furiously.


    When the secretaries heard the ruckus by the door, none of them dared to get close. After all, Conrad


    was bad-tempered, so they didn''t want to be the first to get a scolding from him.


    After Conrad let all his fury out, he breathed heavily and flopped onto the couch. His eyes were dted


    as he mumbled, "Why is he still alive? Why?" He seemed out of energy as he leaned against the couch


    and looked at the ceiling. His mind was nk.


    He had just gotten news that Zac''s body had been found in the ocean. Why did Zac end up dead after


    going missing for two months?
