Chapter 286 Matthew’s Car Accident

When Veronica arrived at the front, Ruka was behind her as they departed together.

Now that they were suddenly left alone together, there was a solemn air hanging above Matthew and

Xavier.

“President Kings, It’s a known rumor that you’re not close to women, but I think you’re just not content

with what you already have.” Xavier gave a gentle snort while mocking Matthew as he lowered his

head to slice the steak on his plate.

Matthew’s jade-like fingers raised the wine glass and swirled it a few times before he took a sip of it.

Then, he calmly answered, “Young Master Xavier, you still have the time to poke your nose into the

affairs of others. I suppose that means… you’re not busy enough.”

Just that sentence alone was enough to act as a deterrent.

“I, Xavier Crawford, will never back down from anything.” After saying that, he set aside his cutleries

and turned his head to the side to address Matthew. “And that includes Veronica Murphy.”

Xavier was issuing a challenge to Matthew. As an observer by Veronica’s side, it was clear to him how

much Matthew fancied her even though she was unaware of it.

Forget about Matthew and Ruka, the way he looked at Veronica was different from the way he gazed at

Ruka. One was with indifference whereas the other was with passion.

Matthew lightly tapped his wine glass with his index finger and noticed Xavier’s reflection that was as

smooth as a mirror. Then, with a calm expression, he elegantly sampled the red wine. “It also depends

whether you have the ability to do so too.”

“Ah.” When he heard what Matthew said, Xavier laughed. “For me to have a meal with her illustrates

that I have the ability.”

Provocation. What a provocative statement. Matthew was not exasperated while facing someone like

Xavier. If he were to be angry, he would have lost his temper earlier. It was because he knew that

Veronica did not have the hots for Xavier.

She was merely behaving this way because of her feud with Matthew.

Meanwhile, over at the ladies, Veronica went to the sink to wash her hands after using the public toilet.

As she stood in front of the mirror, she looked at her reflection and reached out to comb her hair that

had been messed up by the wind with her fingers.

As she did so, she noticed Ruka approaching her with folded arms and staring at her unblinkingly.

“What are you doing by looking at me like that? Those who are unaware would think that you swung

this way,” an annoyed Veronica teased.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t fancy him? Since you don’t have the hots for him, why aren’t you keeping

your distance from him?” Ruka leaned against the wall with such an arrogant posture that left people

with a bad taste in the mouth.

As Veronica turned on the faucet and washed her hands, she retorted, “Those who couldn’t find their

way out have all sought death. Since you are one of them, why aren’t you dead yet?”

A person would not have said such inappropriate words even if they had suffered from the side effects

of a brain injury for the past twenty years.

“You…” Ruka found herself being helpless as she faced Veronica’s rude behavior before she sighed.

“As a human, you should know better to have self-awareness. It’s something that you said before.”

It was at the banquet the other day that Veronica said those words to Caitlyn.

“For a person who lacks ‘self-knowledge’, you are trying to feign knowledge in front of me. Are you

even worthy of that?”

Now that Veronica had already washed her hands and in the midst of taking the paper tissues to wipe

her hands dry, she slowly turned to Ruka and responded, “Since you are already Matthew’s girlfriend,

then you should keep him close to her. If someone else decides to snatch him from you one fine day,

that won’t be your fault. It will be his since there won’t be any smoke without a fire.”

Her lips formed a small smile after she said those words. “You can be rest assured, though. I, Veronica

Murphy, won’t stoop so low to fancy a man like him.”

Then, she threw the used paper tissues into the trash bin and walked past Ruka to leave the public

toilet.

Ruka still leaned against the wall with folded arms while her cold eyes slightly narrowed. A brief smile

appeared on her lips because Veronica really thought that Veronica was Matthew’s girlfriend.

Although the atmosphere of the dining area was still the same when both women returned to their

seats, there was a trace of a storm brewing in the air.

Veronica went to pick up the tab after the meal while Xavier went on his way. Matthew and Ruka also

went their separate ways.

She had just taken a few steps at the parking lot when she suddenly stopped and called out for

Matthew.

He also stopped in his tracks and turned his head. “What’s up?”

Ruka pursued her lips and tightly clutched her coat made out of animal fur. Then, she walked toward

him in her pair of high heels. “You have done so much for her, but it doesn’t look like it’s working out.”

The man’s expression was in the shade of charcoal while his thin lips parted. “Do what you are

supposed to do.”

After uttering such a cold statement, he left.

“Matthew Kings, you should give up. If she really likes you, how could she accept you being with

another woman? You should know well that she doesn’t love you and it’s all your unrequited love.”

Matthew thought that with Ruka’s appearance at Alpine Ski Resort as his girlfriend, it would agitate

Veronica to the point where she would realize that the person whom she truly loved was him.

Yet, such a ruse had not worked even after a few days.

It was not that he never thought about what Ruka said, but rather… he chose not to ponder about it.

Hearing her words, he stopped and looked ahead while feeling lost.

Ruka took the opportunity to move closer to him and produced her cell phone before playing an audio

recording. It was the conversation that she had with Veronica earlier in the ladies.

“Since you are already Matthew’s girlfriend, then you should keep him close to her. If someone else

decides to snatch him from you one fine day, that won’t be your fault. It will be his since there won’t be

any smoke without a fire.”

“You can be rest assured, though. I, Veronica Murphy, won’t stoop so low to fancy a man like him.”

Those sentences were enough to shatter Matthew’s heart into a million pieces and into the abyss. He

refused to turn back while his face adopted an indifferent expression. Only the hands that rested by his

side gave an inkling into his reaction—his fingers were slightly curled to reveal his discomfort.

“She never loved you at all. So, no matter how persistent you are, what you’ll receive in return is her

disgust,” Ruka enunciated those words.

Still, the man never said anything as he merely continued to walk toward his vehicle. Once he entered

his car, he slammed the door.

There was also someone speeding on the road and flew past everyone like a lightning bolt. As Matthew

was extremely affected by what Veronica had said and his mind replayed every word of his, he lost his

concentration while driving, which ultimately resulted in a tragedy.

Bluntly said, he… was in a car accident.

It was just that Veronica was unaware of this and was immersed in her work for the entire afternoon.

It was now 5.30PM and Yvonne was patiently waiting for Conrad in one of Hilton Restaurant’s private

rooms. As expected, the man arrived at 5.30PM sharp.

“I’m sorry for the delay,” the chivalrous and elegant Conrad apologized as he greeted her with a smile

while entering the private room.

His elegance and charm had totally captivated her since her heartbeat was racing. Even her face had

turned crimson. “You’re fine. I just arrived, anyway. Is it freezing outside?” She tried to strike a

conversation with him.

“It’s bearable.”

He removed his scarf and left it on the coat hanger, after which he walked toward her and took a seat

opposite her. “Have you ordered?”

“Nope. I was waiting for you.” Yvonne pushed the menu that was in front of her toward Conrad. “That’s

because I have no idea what your favorite dishes are.”
