Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 45

Her pretentiousness made Veronica feel sick to thic core.

As she pursed her lips and had an emotionless face, she brushed her hand away. “You’ll have to ask Matt…” After glancing at Matthew from an angle, she continued, “You’ll have to ask my brother… when he will marry you.”

At that moment, not only was Veronica disgusted by Tillany, she also simultaneously was disgusted with herself for addressing Matthew as her brother. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

It was evident those words had hurt Tiffany as her mesmerizingly beautiful face wore a terrifying expression.

Rachel, who was watching by the side, did not manisest her anger outwardly. With a look of a noble lady, she calmly stated, “The engagement was only recently decided, so there’s no rush to get married.”

“Yes, Mom’s right,” Tiffany gracefully retorted. At that moment, her facade was nearly broken under Veronica’s constant cynicism. To maintain her image in front of Matthew, Tiffany could only say, “I’m going to visit Grandma with Mom now. We’ll talk later.” After that, she hinted at Rachel with her gaze before they both entered the ward.

Only Matthew and Veronica were left outside the small living room of the ward. Raising his eyebrow, he looked at her deeply while asking with a firm tone, “What happened between you two?”

While avoiding the question, she gave a slight smirk as she took out a note from her pocket and placed it in front of him. “Please pay for the bill first.” After all, they had agreed on the prepaid wage of 10,000

per day.

Matthew reminded her, “Answer my question.”

“I’m not obligated to answer you, nor do I need to satisfy your curiosity.” Aside from being arrogant, Veronica also had a feeling that she couldn’t care less about this.

Ring, ring, ring.

It was at this moment when her phone rang. As she took it out, she looked at the screen only to discover it was a call from Xavier. Then, she suddenly realized that this was supposed to be her first day of work at Xavier’s company.

A frowning Veronica pouted in distress as she answered the call.

“Roni, where are you? I’ve been waiting for you at the company for two hours now.” Xavier questioned her from the other side.

“Haha…” Veronica awkwardly laughed before she replied, “Xavier, about that… I’m sorry, but I suddenly ran into some issues.”

“I could care less about your issues. Just come here immediately. If I don’t see you present within half an hour, don’t blame me if I come over to drag you from your house!”

“Erm, about that, I—”

Beep... Beep...

Before she could explain any further, Xavier had already hung up. Is this guy really angry? She silently chided herself as she actually forgot that today was the first day of work at his company. That was the reason why she promised Matthew to accompany him to watch over his grandmother.

Keeping her phone away, Veronica glanced at the note with her bank account details before immediately bending over to retrieve it. “What I said earlier was a joke. I’ll be taking this back then.”

Leaning against the sofa, Matthew looked at her with a mysterious gaze. “Do you know what kind of animal comes and goes on command?”

“What?” His strange words threw her for a loop.

“Your actions are indistinguishable from a dog.”

The man’s insulting words absolutely humiliated her and even his gaze held certain amounts of scorn. She‘s ready to leave so eagerly just because Xavier has asked her to?

Folding the paper, Veronica had been listening to him until she stopped in her actions. As she slowly raised her head, under her luscious eyelashes was a dull gaze that gradually turned into fury. While tightly holding onto the note, she had a deep frown. “Matthew…”

In the end, although a blazing fire was burning inside her, she still managed to suppress her anger after nearly failing to control her emotions.

“The difference between me and a dog is that I have a human heart whereas dogs are

just ungrateful creatures!” After saying that, she left without even turning back.

At that moment, Matthew felt more like he was being scolded by Veronica instead of him lecturing her.

Then, the pair of mother and daughter came out after visiting Elizabeth. Upon noticing Veronica’s absence, Tiffany asked, “Matthew, where’s Veronica?”

“She left.” Lowering his head, the man was looking at his computer as he immersed himself in work. He did not even spare Tiffany a glance throughout the whole process of replying to her. It was as if his cold

attitude was telling her that she was not worth it for him to show any interest toward.

“I’ve just discussed with Grandma and we’ve decided that I’ll stay here with you these few days to take care of her together,” Tiffany informed Matthew.

Her soft tone and gentle demeanor all pointed to her being a candidate for a wonderful wife. There were no men safe from her charms, yet it was Matthew who was immune to all this.

“Yes, yes, your grandma did say that.” Rachel quickly followed up on her words, “Tiffany is coincidentally quite free nowadays, so allowing her to come take care of Old Mrs. Kings would also be a good way to foster their relationship.”

“As long as Grandma agrees, I’ve no qualms about it,” he said bluntly.

However, in the midst of his words, Matthew shot a cold look at Tiffany before continuing with his work.

“Grandma did agree to it.”

As she smiled, she could finally set her nervousness aside. The appearance of Veronica earlier had made her feel a sense of great danger.

Elizabeth treated Veronica well in the past because she had been pregnant with Matthew’s child. Although Veronica eventually suffered from a miscarriage, Elizabeth actually wanted to adopt her as her god-granddaughter!

What methods did that wench use to make the entire Kings Family fall for her so badly? The most important thing was that it was that long since the engagement between Tiffany and Matthew. Will she interfere and ruin our marriage at that time?

“Okay, then.” Matthew gave a curt reply in agreement. Tiffany was elated as she looked at Rachel from an angle. With a genuine smile, she could finally calm her racing heart.

“You should stay here and take good care of Old Mrs. Kings then. I’ll send someone over tonight to deliver some clothes to you.” Tapping on her shoulders, Rachel hinted at Tiffany to make full use of the time that she would be spending with Matthew alone.

“Thanks, Mom.”

“I’ll be leaving first.”

Carrying her bag, Rachel left in her heels after bidding her farewell. After exiting the hospital, she called Floch to ask him to hurry home as she drove. After half an hour, the couple arrived at Dragon’s Creek villa at the same time.

“What happened? Why did you call me back in such a hurry?” After getting out of the car, Floch walked to Rachel as he removed his coat:

“What else could happen? That little wench, Veronica, is up to no good again.”

“What did she do this time?”

“What did she do, you say? It would be easy if it were something that she did of her own accord. Now, she’s Elizabeth’s god-daughter, meaning that she’s considered part of the Kings Family now. Tell me, how is that brat so lucky?” At this point, Rachel, who was so livid, threw the bag at Floch and mumbled, “I should’ve killed her back then if I knew that she would be a pain in the *ss.” .

Casting aside that Veronica already knew that they were the ones who hired goons to run her parents over, the mere fact that Veronica was Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter meant that Tiffany would only suffer as soon as she married into the Kings Family.
