Chapter 438 Slapped by Grandma
“What’s the matter?” Larry saw Veronica’s serious expression. “What happened?”
Veronica looked at Stephen and explained, “I’m so sorry. There’s an emergency at home. My grandma
is lost, and she has Alzheimer’s,” she explained that deliberately.
“Oh, God! Do you want us to accompany you to find her?” Stephen spread his hands. “Many hands
make light work.”
“It’s okay. You should continue filming. I have a friend over there to look for her. Let’s get in touch later.”
After Veronica said that, she stated to Larry, “I’ll have my leave. I can’t delay this matter any further.”
“Okay. Stay safe on your way. Let me know when you find her.” “Alright.” Veronica jogged away from
the crew and drove back to the city center.
When she arrived in the city center, she contacted Yura, and they met at the agreed place. However,
there was another person next to Yura—it was Matthew Kings.
Although Veronica knew she could not avoid Matthew here, fortunately, she was mentally prepared. So,
she stepped forward without looking at Matthew and asked Yura, “Mrs. Coleman, have you found
Grandma?”
“Yes, I just found her. She’s in the car. Phew! What a false alarm. It’s my fault for not noticing it.” Yura
patted her own thighs and said with a smile.
“You little brat! It’s been a long time since I saw you, and you never visit me at Kings Residence.” When
Veronica talked to Yura, the car window rolled down. Elizabeth was complaining about her
dissatisfaction with Veronica from the car.
Hearing that, Veronica turned her head and walked toward Elizabeth. “Grandma, you’ve made me
worry!” “Come on, get in the car,” Elizabeth said as she opened the door to let Veronica get in.
Veronica knew that the car belonged to Matthew, so she was reluctant to enter the car for a moment as
she did not want to meet the man. In the end, she had to bite the bullet and get into the car as she
knew Elizabeth missed her very much. “Grandma, I miss you too. However, I’ve been busy with work,”
Veronica explained.
Standing by the side of the road, Matthew looked at Veronica, who was in the car, with a dark gaze. For
a moment, he didn’t know how to get along with her.
Raising his hand, he tugged at his tie. In the end, he stepped into the car, opened the door, and got into
the driver’s seat. Then, he looked back at Elizabeth to ask, “Grandma, you—”
“Veronica, since you’re free today, come back to the Kings Residence to accompany this old lady.”
Then, Elizabeth patted Matthew. “Start the car. Go back to the residence.”
“Huh?” Veronica hadn’t figured out how to face Matthew and get along with him either, so she couldn’t
help but feel embarrassed when she heard Elizabeth’s request. She brainstormed and made an
excuse. “Grandma, my car is still parked over there. I can drive over.”
“Give me your car keys. I’ll let Thomas drive your car with Mrs. Coleman.”
Matthew raised his eyes and looked at Veronica through the rearview mirror with a calm gaze.
It was three months after they had last met. In just two days, they met again. No matter what, Veronica
felt awkward.
When she remembered that Matthew liked Sasha, Veronica felt disgusted at this cheater of a man.
Her heart was aching terribly at that point.
However, Veronica couldn’t bear to disappoint Elizabeth when she saw the elderly woman’s expectant
look. “Okay.”
Veronica took out the keys and handed it to Matthew.
He then threw the keys to Thomas from the car window. “Drive it back to the Kings Residence.”
“Yes, Young Master Matthew,” Thomas answered, after which Matthew drove away.
Along the way, Elizabeth took Veronica’s hand and happily chatted with Veronica.
Elizabeth was always shrew, so she knew Veronica and Matthew were arguing. She pretended to get
lost earlier because she wanted them to gather here.
Veronica was worried about Elizabeth, so she held her hand and reminded the old woman, “Grandma,
you should go to the hospital for a checkup in the afternoon.”
Elizabeth leaned on the seat and raised her hand, thereafter brushing the silver hair on her temple. “I’m
just an old lady that no one wants to meet, so it’s useless for someone like me to consult a doctor.”
The words made Veronica speechless.
Hence, she pouted and said, “I’m with you.”
When she spoke, another voice rang out. “I’m free this afternoon.”
“Jeez! So, you two finally have time to accompany me?” Elizabeth nodded. “Okay, both of you must
accompany me this afternoon.”
Both of us? Veronica was reluctant. She wanted to keep a distance from Matthew to separate herself
from him. “Grandma, since he’s with you, I’ll—”
Elizabeth swept a sharp gaze over Veronica just as she was about to say something.
After being stared at, Veronica immediately fell silent and did not speak.
“What are you hiding? I’m old but not blind.” Elizabeth became fierce and she then said in a tone
befitting the elder of the Kings, “What are both of you doing? You were fine, but currently, you are
causing trouble. Both of you never return to the Kings Residence. You did not give me a clear reply
when I asked you about what happened. Do you still respect me?”
She was angered.
Now, Matthew and Veronica understood Elizabeth’s intentions.
It took Elizabeth a lot of effort to get them together.
Facing the sudden reprimand, Matthew continued to look ahead and drove silently.
On the other hand, Veronica released Elizabeth’s hand and tilted her head to look out the window
without speaking.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Elizabeth felt a headache coming on. “Tell me, Matthew Kings—
what happened between Veronica and you?”
He tapped the steering wheel lightly while resting his elbow on the doorframe. Then, he placed his
fingers on his cheek thoughtfully.
There was a long silence in the car, and it was only after a while did he say, “I broke up with Roni.”
“Broke up? Hmph! There must be a reason for it!” Elizabeth continued to pursue the matter.
A trace of pain flashed through Matthew’s gaze. However, the emotion vanished in an instant. He
answered, “We did not get along after spending some time together, so we naturally broke up.”
“Do you not get along? Hmph! After a year, you’re now only telling me that you do not get along?”
Elizabeth was furious and leaned forward to slap Matthew’s head, although Matthew was driving.
“What the hell are you talking about?!”
Seeing Matthew was slapped by Elizabeth, Veronica turned a blind eye and didn’t interrupt. It was
because she didn’t know what to say.
“You rude thing, you never do things properly!” Elizabeth reprimanded while pointing at Matthew
angrily.
Veronica was worried that Elizabeth’s sickness would worsen, so she persuaded, “Grandma, please
calm down.”
“I can’t calm down. This brat has never given me peace of mind since he was a child!”
