Chapter 360 Skyler Tests Veronica
“No worries, it’s no big deal.” Skyler smiled sheepishly as he replied. His eyes were sharp as he
studied Veronica, as if he was looking for any sort of hint.
All this while, he was muttering in his heart, fearing that she would be furious at what she saw on the
video and break up with Matthew.
According to Matthew, he was still on a probation period of three months. Skyler was afraid that she
would break up with Matthew if she found out about this.
Skyler did not dare to bring it up, let alone ask her.
Instead, he tilted his head and glanced at Monica, who was sitting on the side, sobbing with her head
down. Shirley was by her side, comforting Monica.
Seeing that the two of them didn’t notice anything, Skyler leaned toward Veronica and asked in a low
voice, “Roni, how are you and Matthew doing?”
He was frantically trying to test her to see her reaction before analyzing whether she had overheard
what had just happened.
When she heard this, she was a little taken aback as she did not expect Matthew to share these things.
However, he recalled that the two were very close, and it would make sense for him to do so.
“Although I do owe you, I don’t think we know each other well enough for me to share about these,”
Veronica answered aloofly.
Skyler was at a loss for words.
D*mn it, she was ruthless!
“Hey, hey, hey. What about this? I’ll trade my favor for an answer!” This deal was such a steal for
Veronica.
“Just like that? Wouldn’t you be at a loss?”
“No, I won’t. Matthew’s affairs are my topmost priority.”
Skyler feared that his death day would be near if he accidentally ruined Matthew’s love life.
“Oh. We’re alright. We’re still in a probationary period.” Her answer was extremely perfunctory.
Skyler did not get the answer he wanted and asked again, “What do you think of Matthew right now?”
“Your favor has been exchanged for an answer. Unfortunately, you’ve run out of favors,” Veronica
replied indifferently.
“Oh, hey, Roni, you’ve gone too far. I’ve rushed all the way here to help you. Aren’t you being
somewhat unkind?”
“Am I? I don’t think so.”
Veronica’s red lips curved upwards slightly, and her shallow dimples could be seen. Her smile was
enticing but also a little playful.
“You—”
Ding, ding, ding!
Just as Skyler wanted to question her further, he heard her phone ring.
Veronica reached out to take her phone. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, her face
immediately sank, and she turned around to answer the phone.
Once the phone was connected, she did not speak as she quietly waited for the caller to talk.
“Veronica Murphy, you actually stood me up! Believe it or not, I will expose that shameful video of you
and my brother to the Internet!” Melissa roared angrily.
Nevertheless, Veronica was wholly unmoved by her threat.
That was because she knew very well that one indulgence from her would lead to countless threats
from Melissa as she became more unscrupulous.
“If you want to post it, feel free to do so. Could it be that you would listen to me if I told you not to put it
on the Internet?” Veronica sneered. She felt that both Melissa and her brother, Xavier, were sc*mbags.
“Fine, I shall grant your wish.”
After speaking, Melissa immediately hung up the phone.
Veronica’s face turned serious when Melissa ended the call as she clutched the phone in her hand;
uneasiness washed over her.
Ever since Matthew launched an attack on the Crawfords, his actions had shaken the entire family’s
impregnable status in the upper class of society. As a result, their businesses gradually failed, and their
cash flow stagnated. Soon, most of the factories began to close down due to bankruptcy.
Even in the past two days, the stocks were limited; Veronica even heard that the Crawfords would
suspend any new upcoming stocks.
Investors that began to sell the Crawfords’ shares were disappointed as no one wanted to buy it from
them. Thus, they could only watch as the stocks dropped, as they lamented their fate.
Therefore, the purpose of Melissa’s call today was evident.
Then, Veronica started to think. In the future, even if she could turn things around and change the
fortune of the Crawfords, Melissa would still continue to threaten her to do her bidding.
“Hey, Roni, what are you thinking about?”
Skyler, who was standing next to her, saw Veronica lowering her head in thought as she hung up the
phone. Yet, he shouted for her a few times, but she did not respond.
Skyler assumed that something must have happened to her.
“Huh? Oh, no, it’s fine.”
Veronica quickly put her phone away and spoke to Skyler, “Anyway, thank you very much for today. I
will buy you dinner once you’re free.”
After she said this, she did not bother to give Skyler a chance to speak as she walked past him and
toward Monica.
“Monica, are you okay?” she patted Monica on the shoulder and comforted her.
“Wahh…. President Murphy, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help today, I wouldn’t have known
what to do.”
Monica held a ball of tissue in her hand as she rubbed her red and swollen eyes, choking and sobbing.
Then, Veronica noticed that there was a cut on Monica’s mouth which was a little black-blue. In
addition, there were several scratches on her cheeks, and her hair was a mess.
“What happened to you? How did you get hurt?”
Veronica was confused.
Logically speaking, Monica’s mother is old. And no matter how strong she was, she couldn’t beat
Monica up like this.
Shirley, who was beside her, quickly explained, “Roni, stop bringing it up. That older woman is ruthless.
She went to the extent of calling her daughter and son-in-law to beat Monica up like this. That older
woman is shameless! If you ask me, I think that old woman should’ve gone to jail with her son!”
“What the f*ck, that man is a horrible husband. If you asked me, it would be best to get a divorce as
soon as possible so you wouldn’t be stuck with this piece of cr*p.”
Skyler, who was walking over, became annoyed when he heard what Shirley had said.
When Monica saw Skylar approach, she immediately stood up and kneeled before him. “Young Master
Skyler, thank you. Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you today, I wouldn’t have known that the
immigration counter was automatic.
Monica’s son was still young and fragile. Nevertheless, her mother-in-law threw the child to the ground
during today’s struggle, causing severe cerebral hemorrhage and weakened breathing.
As her son’s condition was severe, along with the fact that New Year was approaching, no hospital
dared to take Monica’s son in.
Entirely at a loss of what to do, she couldn’t bring herself to beg for help from Veronica.
Monica sobbed as she thanked Skyler. “President Murphy, thank you for your help. You and Skyler are
my son’s saviors. I really…thank you so much!”
Monica was a beautiful woman with long straight black hair. So, her sad face from sobbing could easily
incite one’s urge to sympathize with her.
“Enough, get up. It’s no big deal.”
Therefore, Skyler couldn’t stand how pitiful she was and felt a sense of discomfort as Monica sobbed
her heart out in gratitude.
Throughout all these, Veronica hadn’t spoken a single word.
Although she knew that Monica was the one who owed Skylar a favor, Veronica was her superior and
would have to thank Skyler. Regardless, Monica was the one who benefited from his actions, so she
would have to thank him herself.
It was something they needed to settle on their own.
The silent hallways of the hospital echoed with Monica’s choked sobs.
