Chapter 131
Clapping one hand over his neck while clutching the passenger seat with the other, Thomas sat sidewa
ys in his seat. His face turned red as he choked on the egg yolk, and veins were bulging in his forehead
, making him look very scary,
Frightened. Veronica handed the soy milk in her hand to Thomas right away. “Have some soy milk, Mr.
Ritter.”
Thomas took a look at Veronica, then at the soy milk she was holding with a look of aversion.
“I‘ve never drunk it.”
Only when Veronica said she had never drunk the soy milk did Thomas take it. After gulping down a big
mouthful of soy milk, he finally felt much better. Letting out a long sigh of relief, he beat his chest, sayin
g, “Sh*t, I almost choked to death.”
“Yeah, you‘d better choke to death!” Veronica chided Thomas angrily. “It‘s true that birds of a feather flo
ck together. You‘re just like your boss. How could you be fussy about whether I‘ve drunk the soy milk w
hen you were almost choking to death? Are you serious?”
“Ha ha. Anyway, thank you, Miss Murphy.” Thomas smiled with embarrassment while thanking Veronica
for the life–saving soy milk she had handed to him just in
time. Deciding from the bottom of his heart that he
would never eat something like a tea egg again, he started the car and slowly drove on.
Sitting in the back seat, Veronica looked at Matthew, who was closing his eyes in
repose. She found that this guy had become
more and more petty. Is he holding a grudge against me for treating him to three bucks‘ worth of breakf
ast? She touched her nose and thought for a moment before suggesting, “Actually, there are many kind
s of delicious street foods, such as stir–
fried noodles, teppanyaki, and tacos… What about I take you to have some street foods tomorrow even
ing?”
The man slowly opened his eyes to shoot a glance at Veronica out of the
corner of his eye. “Tacos? Are you gonna treat me to cheap fish tacos or something?”
“What? Fish… Haha…” Veronica was amused by his words. “Haha…” Placing her hand on her stomac
h, she laughed hysterically while slapping her thigh with no regard for her image.
Mathew and Thomas were dumbfounded by Veronica‘s sudden guffaw as they didn‘t
understand what made her laugh so hysterically. Matthew turned to look at her, whereas Thomas stare
d at her through the rearview mirror. I
Only then did Veronica‘s smile fade. She said in
a whisper, “There are some things that you have to be careful about saying.”
“Huh?” Matthew was puzzled.
“There‘s a joke about fish tacos. If someone says they‘re taking you to eat fish tacos, he‘s actually… N
ever mind, it‘s nothing.” It‘s better not to say some dirty remarks out loud, she thought. She waved her
hand, saying, “Don‘t care about how much the tacos cost. I‘ll definitely let you have enough of them to
morrow.” In order to enjoy free breakfast in the future, she could only endure the heartache and spend
some money again to treat Matthew to dinner.
Matthew didn‘t ask her further questions as the three returned to Twilight
Condominium
When Matthew and Veronica returned to the apartment, Yvonne had already gone to work. After changi
ng her clothes, Veronica said goodbye to
Matthew. “I’m off to work. Bye,” she shouted toward his bedroom while standing in the living room.
However, as soon as she finished
her sentence, Matthew opened the door and came out walking upright. Dressed in a dark gray suit, the
radiant–
looking man gave off a noble and distant air of superiority through every pore like an exceptionally han
dsome celestial being that was unapproachable. Even just a glance at such an extraordinarily dignified
man would please both the eye and the mind.
An inadvertent sidelong glance at Matthew was all it took for Veronica to be attracted to his handsome l
ooks, and
she fell for him instantly. How could this jerk be so good looking? God is more or less partial to him, I g
uess.
“I‘ll give you a ride,” Matthew said.
“Oh, that‘s pretty nice. Saves me money,” Veronica replied with a chuckle.
The two got along well without getting into conflicts, which was very rare. As they took the elevator toge
ther from the top floor to the second basement, Veronica pursed her lips and asked, “I might leave Bloo
mstead in the near future.”
Matthew could tell from the way Veronica sounded that she was planning to leave Bloomstead for good
without coming back again. Still, he asked, “…When will you come back?”

Dressed in a waist–fitting black business suit, the lady wore her neck–
length black hair in a bun with a strand of hair hanging from her temple, which made her look capable a
nd yet adorable. Compared with her previously long hair, her short hair made her look even
younger while making her appear sexy and sweet at the same time. Tucking the strand
of hair hanging from her temple behind her ear, she shook her head, saying, “I probably… won‘t come
back anymore.”
She had indeed drunk a lot yesterday, but it didn‘t mean that she was really drunk. She had thought ab
out some matters carefully. Avenging her adoptive parents was very important, but she was no
match for the Kings Family and the Larson Family. Why do such a stupid thing as to fight a hopeless ba
ttle, then? Rather than courting death, it was better to endure the humiliation
and go back to stay with her adoptive parents, which was better than anything else.
Matthew‘s eyes were fixed on the lady next to him the whole time as he looked at the side of her face.
She had small and delicate clear–cut features, which made her look adorable.
He didn‘t say another word, though.
With that, the two of them fell silent.
When they reached the second basement, Thomas was already waiting for them in the car. After they g
ot into the car, Matthew said, “Head for the Glory Company.”
Thomas
corrected Matthew, saying, “Mr. Crawford‘s Glory Company was renamed Konig Company six weeks a
go.”
Veronica‘s lips twitched as she sat beside Matthew. So
this guy knew a long time ago that I‘m working at Xavier‘s company, eh? No wonder he never asked m
e on which company‘s behalf I was doing charity when we went to Almeida together. I thought he would
n‘t give a damn about Xavier‘s small company. Seems like I‘ve underestimated him.
Matthew seemed a bit curious. “Why the sudden change of the company‘s name?”
Thomas explained as he drove, “There was a complete shakeup of the company‘s top management afte
Mr. Crawford bounced back all of a sudden, though I wonder if it was the so–
called ‘indirect complacency.”
“It‘s wrong of you to say that, Mr. Ritter. Xavier is very diligent in his work, okay?” Veronica chided Thom
him saying so. She admitted that when she first started working at Glory Company, everyone in the com
lazy and slacked off about their work. However,
after she returned from being kidnapped abroad, Xavier suddenly renamed his company to Konig. There
Veronica merely thought that Xavier had come to his senses all of a sudden and wanted to work hard an
he became a full–
fledged businessman. He renamed the company Konig Company because “könig” was the German wor
the king of the world with you by my side, he thought.
“Yeah, yeah, you‘re right, Miss Murphy.” Thomas didn‘t argue with her.
Matthew‘s long, slanted eyes lowered slightly and dimmed, but he didn‘t say a word.
Half an hour later, Veronica arrived at Konig Company. She waved to Matthew, saying, “Bye.”
“I‘ll pick you up this evening to take you to the Kings Residence.”
“Okay,” Veronica replied, before entering Konig Company with her handbag in her hand.
Inside the car, Matthew‘s expression slowly turned serious as he watched Veronica disappear from
his sight. He asked in a grim voice, “Have you found out the identity of the mysterious masked man?” He
Dawnpol
Village.
“Apologies for my incompetence, but I‘m unable to find out his identity.” Thomas felt somewhat helpless.
