Chapter 526 Confrontation
That afternoon, Veronica wanted to meet up with Yvonne. Right when she was going to dial Yvonne’s
number, she changed her mind and decided to catch her by surprise instead.
“I’ll give you a ride there,” Matthew said to Veronica as they walked out of the house. “We can’t be seen
together. So I think we should just drive separate cars.”
He would be leaving the company for a few days, so he needed to return to the company to handle
some work. “Okay. Get in the car, and I’ll give you a ride to get your vehicle.”
He thoughtfully opened the passenger seat’s door for her. Then, he closed the door and walked to the
driver’s seat when she entered the car.
They drove towards the neighborhood of Veronica’s rented apartment and stopped there. Then, she
unbuckled her seatbelt, saying, “I might stay over at Yvonne’s place for dinner, so I won’t be eating with
you tonight.”
“Alright.” Matthew nodded lightly. His face darkened when he saw that she’d unbuckled her seatbelt
and was about to leave the car. He proceeded to grab her elbow and tug her towards him.
She was caught off guard, so she fell backward without resisting, and the man caught her in his arms.
Finally, he leaned over and softly pecked her lips, nibbling them a little before releasing them. It was as
if he was claiming his territory by saying, “If you dare leave me like this next time, I will ‘punish’ you on
the spot.”
He made sure to emphasize the word ‘punish’. It didn’t take rocket science to understand what he
meant by that. His antics amused Veronica. “It’s very not like you to be this clingy.”
On the surface, she ridiculed him, but deep down, she was lovestruck, completely infatuated by
him. Maybe this was what it feels to be in love; it felt… great.
Matthew gently flicked her forehead and said, “I guess it’s my fault for falling in love with such a
heartless girl like you.” For her to take the initiative was like hoping that pigs could fly.
“No, I’m not.” Veronica beamed at him as she raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck,
pulling him into another kiss.
That one small kiss she gave didn’t last long, but it was enough to spark the flame of desire for her in
Matthew. His big palms drew her head back toward him when she pulled her lips away. He swiftly took
the lead and pressed his lips against hers, sucking onto them and softly gnawing her lips.
They both slowly closed their eyes, completely indulging in their passionate kiss.
Beep. Beep.
Suddenly, they heard a car horn coming from behind them.
They both opened their eyes and broke off from the kiss. The two gazed at each other and smiled.
“Darn it. You messed up my makeup.” Veronica lightly hit Matthew’s chest. She rose to her feet and
said, “I have to go. See you later.”
Before she left, she took out a tissue and passed it to him as she said, “Here.”
She even pointed at his lips with her pinky finger where the lipstick stain was.
He waited until Veronica left and closed the door behind her before looking into the mirror. She left a
faint lipstick stain on his lips.
Matthew shook his head and smirked, using the tissue she gave to wipe it off.
He watched her retreating figure enter her car before he went ahead and drove off.
Nevertheless, he still stopped at the neighborhood’s entrance and waited for Veronica to drive out.
Not long after, her car appeared. When she saw his car parked on the side of the road, she suddenly
felt moved by how sweet and gentle he was toward her.
She drove by his car and lowered the car window of the passenger seat. She tilted her head at him and
waved, saying, “I’m off, see you tonight.”
“Drive safely,” Matthew reminded her.
She gazed at the man wearing a bespoke black dress shirt and a tie around his neck. His raven hair
was complemented by his chiseled jaw, long nose, and angular lips; he looked like a piece of
beautifully sculpted artwork. Although half of his face was concealed by his sunglasses, all of this was
already enough to bring out his alluring charm.
The pair of black sunglasses he wore added a sense of aloofness. His every movement was elegant
and exuded a strong aura wherever he went.
F*ck how can a man be this charming?
He had deeply enthralled her.
The car behind her honked, pulling Veronica away from her reverie. She waved and said sweetly, “Bye-
bye!”
Finally, she started the car engine and drove off, disappearing into the traffic.
Matthew sat in his car as he watched her leave. Gradually, the doting smile on his face faded and was
replaced by a sullen look; he seemed like he had a lot on his mind.
With a cigarette in hand, he leaned back on the car seat as he smoked.
His lips slightly parted, letting out puffs of smoke every now and then as they swept away some of his
troubles.
All of this was just the beginning, and he couldn’t even begin to imagine the challenges to come in the
future or how her fate would turn out.
…
Meanwhile, at Yvonne’s house, Veronica had parked her car outside the villa at the side of the road.
With that done, she got out of her car and strolled towards Yvonne’s house.
She knew the passcode to Yvonne’s estate, so she walked in after entering the passcode. The maid
then greeted her.
The maid quickly greeted her upon seeing her. “Why, hello, Miss Murphy! I’ll inform Miss Spencer
you’ve arrived.”
“There’s no need to. I want to surprise her.” Veronica waved her arm as she said.
She had asked Ivana to ensure Yvonne was at home before coming to her place.
The maid glanced behind the living room and smiled, “Miss Spencer’s boyfriend is also here. Now that
you’re here too, the more, the merrier.”
Boyfriend?
As she had expected, Conrad was here too.
“Mhm, I’m here to join the fun. Mrs. Sarah, you can return to what you were doing.”
“Alright then.” The maid went right back to her chores.
Veronica took one glance at the living room and walked toward it.
Luckily, she had sneakers on today, so she could pad without making a sound.
She walked from the yard towards the living room. As soon as she stepped through the living room
door, she witnessed an interesting sight. Yvonne was sitting on Conrad’s lap with her arms around his
neck, kissing him.
Her joyous laughter rang like bells; she was as happy as a child receiving presents on Christmas
morning.
At that moment, Veronica’s heart clenched with anger and pity for the girl.
“Ahem…”
Conrad and Yvonne still haven’t noticed Veronica’s presence. Well, they did, but they thought it was the
maid who had entered to do some chores, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.
Veronica lightly coughed, finally capturing the two’s attention as they both looked over at her.
The instant Yvonne noticed Veronica was standing by the door, she immediately slid off Conrad’s lap
and stood aside. Her face was flushed with a mix of dread and embarrassment as she stuttered, “R-
Roni, you’re here! When did you come back?”
Yvonne was panic-stricken; she never thought that Veronica would suddenly return from Castron.
On the other hand, Veronica balled her hands into tight fists. She even had to take a few deep breaths
to calm the fury that was raging within her.
“What a pleasant surprise!”
She struggled to maintain her composure, restraining herself from beating up Conrad on the spot.
Conrad was also as bothered as Veronica. But he had an excellent poker face, so they didn’t easily
catch his discomfort.
Veronica marched toward the two and threw a cold glower at Conrad. She didn’t even try to hide the
chilly hostility in her eyes.
Her expression made Yvonne’s heart leap to her throat. She quickly positioned herself before Conrad
and shielded him from Veronica. She nervously laughed as she said to Veronica, “Wait, Roni, please let
me explain—”
“Okay, speak. I’m all ears.”
Veronica turned her gaze towards Yvonne and glared at her before plopping onto the couch, crossing
her legs as if she were the mistress of the house. She leaned on the couch, waiting for Yvonne’s
excuses.
She wanted to see how Yvonne was going to defend herself.
“Yves, are you sure Little Roni will believe you even if you explained everything?”
Conrad instantly turned the tables with his question.
Veronica was vexed by his sudden intervention and stared daggers at him. She was once again
tempted to fight Conrad right then and there.
She was never a quick-tempered person, but right now, all she wanted was to beat the living sh*t out of
this jerk.
