Chapter 485 I Won’t Fall For You
“Ho-ho! Here, fill out the job application first. Even though Miss Lambert introduced you here, you’ll still
have to pass the assessment period.” Patrick chortled again with a crafty gleam in his eyes. “Our store
sells high-end cars, and every sales consultant has shocking sales skills. In sales, everyone relies on
true abilities to make a living. Just having a pretty face isn’t enough.”
That last phrase was a deliberate jab at Veronica, but she didn’t mind and nodded her head obediently.
“I understand what you mean, Mr. Simon. Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.” Patrick raised his brows
and looked at her with a bit of contempt and greed. “First, let me tell you about the salary and
benefits…”
After he briefly explained the salary and benefits to her, she nodded, saying that she would show up for
work, as usual, tomorrow, and left the store. When she noticed that it was still relatively early, she
called Yvonne and went to visit her at her place.
When she reached Yvonne’s apartment, she was practicing yoga, and Veronica chatted casually with
her while seated on the couch. Then, she couldn’t help but point out, “Tell me honestly, what exactly
happened to you that made you so happy? You seem to be in high spirits today.”
As Yvonne had rekindled her relationship with Conrad, and he didn’t allow her to tell Veronica the truth
so that it wouldn’t start an unnecessary misunderstanding, Yvonne didn’t dare to say a word to
Veronica.
Furthermore, Matthew and Veronica’s relationship recently had turned sour, and he even cut off all her
employment opportunities, completely ignoring their relationship as siblings. From this, it showed that
Matthew was a ruthless person.
Yvonne knew that Conrad was unwell. Thus, she was worried that Matthew would use some
underhand means to deal with Conrad. That was the main driving force that motivated her to hide the
truth, especially since Matthew had suddenly kindly offered to take care of her child.
As she looked back at things now, she thought that his sudden enthusiasm that appeared out of thin air
must be hiding some sort of evil intentions; Matthew must have taken her baby away to blackmail
Conrad!
“Nothing. It’s just…” She faced Veronica with her back as she stretched her calves. “I feel more at ease
now that the baby is not with me, and I’m not in danger anymore.”
“That’s true,” Veronica muttered, taking her words at face value.
Both of them chatted for a bit more until Veronica received a call. She stared at the unknown number
and hesitated for a few seconds before pushing the green button. “Hello, who’s this?”
“Miss Murphy, I’m Adrian Colland. You probably… still remember me, don’t you?”
Although the man on the line pronounced each word perfectly, it still sounded a little awkward.
“Yeah, why are you calling me?”
It wasn’t surprising to her that he found her number, but what she found odd was the motive he initiated
contact with her today.
“Aren’t you curious about what’s happening to Matthew Kings?”
“Sorry, I’m not interested.”
“Oh, really? Heh, do you know that he doesn’t love Sasha at all and that both of them are just putting
up an act?” Right away, over the phone, Adrian blurted a particular topic, immediately getting
Veronica’s undivided attention.
Sure enough, upon hearing that, she frowned as she contemplated the truthfulness of his words.
“Where are you?”
Ever since she broke up with Matthew, every single cruel act he did toward her seemed to make sense.
Despite that, there was a niggling thought in her mind that screamed that things somehow didn’t add
up. So, when Adrian suddenly told her that Matthew didn’t love Sasha, it naturally aroused her curiosity.
“Second floor of Autumn Cafe. I’ll give you thirty minutes to get here,” he said, hanging up after he had
given her the location.
Veronica palmed her phone as she slipped into her thoughts while she stared at the call record page on
the screen.
Yvonne was keeping away the yoga mat when she caught Veronica’s sudden shift in mood and asked
in concern, “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing. It was a call from a property agent. Look how destitute I am, and he actually asked if I’m
interested in purchasing a house.” She shrugged as she made up an excuse on the spot and added,
“I’ve been busy the whole day and need to start working at the store tomorrow. I’ll be heading home
now.”
“Okay, sure.” Yvonne nodded and watched as Veronica rose to her feet and started toward the door.
Then, she quickly called her. “Veronica?”
“What is it?” She halted in her steps and spun her head around to look at Yvonne.
“Well…” She clasped her hands together as she fidgeted her thumbs nervously, speaking hesitantly,
“I… miss my baby. Will you help me ask Matthew when I can meet him?”
After she had spent time with Conrad for the past few days, she could clearly feel how much he was
missing the baby and his adoration for him. Yet, he had never asked to see the baby. This made
Yvonne feel incredibly sorry for him. As a father, he couldn’t even visit his own son.
She reckoned that Conrad didn’t bring up the suggestion to see the baby because he was worried that
she might misunderstand his intentions, thinking that he had feigned illness to find out the baby’s
whereabouts.
“This…” The mention of Matthew made Veronica inexplicably frustrated. “Don’t you have his contact
details? You can contact him yourself because I don’t want to have anything to do with him right now.”
“Oh, okay,” Yvonne muttered, not forcing the matter.
After Veronica left Yvonne’s place, she drove to Autumn Cafe and saw Adrian seated by the window on
the second floor. She headed straight to him and slid into the chair opposite him.
Adrian was dressed in a suit with suspenders and a bow tie. Suffice to say, he stood out like a sore
thumb in the cafe, and when he saw that Veronica was seated across from him, he immediately
checked the time on his wristwatch. “Not bad. You’re rather punctual. What would you like to drink?”
“No, thanks. Just speak what’s on your mind. I don’t have much time.”
She didn’t want to keep in contact with Adrian, but somehow, there was always an invisible force
directing her, and she couldn’t stop herself from agreeing to meet him.
Maybe I care too much about Matthew, and that’s why I fell for Adrian’s words, she thought.
“You’re a very straightforward woman.” He shook his head in amusement, then took out a few
photographs and passed them to her.
With her eyes glued on the photographs, she picked them up and realized that the people in them were
none other than Matthew and Sasha.
In the first photo, Sasha was following Matthew, reaching out her hand and trying to grab him, and the
following picture showed him jerking away her hand.
As she shifted through the photos, it was akin to watching a fast-forward video that showed Sasha
following behind Matthew as she tried to grab him, but he shook her off. Then, when she wanted to say
something, he suddenly caught her by her throat, pointed a finger at her forehead, and said something.
After that, she saw that Shasha was thrown to the ground, Skyler helping her up, and Sasha was crying
with her face buried in her hands.
Veronica held those photos in her hands, waved them, and said derisively, “You’re judging Sasha and
Matthew’s relationship based on these photos?”
That was ridiculous. She was sure that her face basically had a sign that said, You have got to be
kidding me.
“Of course, a few photos don’t mean anything, so why don’t you listen to this?” Then, he placed a voice
recorder in front of her, turned it on, and hit the play button.
“Sasha Claude, I’ve warned you to leave Roni alone. Are you testing my bottom line?”
Sasha sobbed, “Matt, y-you… are just so important to me.”
“If you f*cking say this again, don’t blame me for sending you off to Africa. I’m telling you again, even if
you’re a woman now, I won’t fall for you.”
