Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 The Exasperated Matthew

Elizabeth offered the fruits to Veronica. “Have some with me. I can’t finish everything myself.”

Since it would be tactless to refuse, Veronica took a fork and a bite of the fruit thereafter. “It’s soft and sweet. Grandma, try it.”

Paying no heed to Matthew who was just right next to them, they blabbered on and on. It was not until a short moment later that Elizabeth cast her gaze on him. “The poor girl, Tiffany, came today and she cried buckets. Even if you don’t intend to marry her, she still has your baby. You should’ve at least shown some mercy.”

Though she chose not to interfere with the matters of youngsters, she just could not ignore it as she was their elder after all. Meanwhile, Veronica lowered her head at the mention of Tiffany’s name and remained without a word. Knowing Tiffany’s situation was the last thing on her mind, let alone interfering.

“I know what I’m doing.” He did not tell Elizabeth the truth in the end. Considering that she had fainted due to high blood pressure yesterday, he surmised that it was untimely to reveal the truth right now as she might not be able to accept it. As an afterthought, he had made up his mind to spill the beans only after her birthday.

Elizabeth snorted without a reply and turned to Veronica instead. “It’s my birthday the day after tomorrow and we will have a birthday party at Kings Residence. You should come with Matthew.”

“Okay, Grandma.” Veronica had initially thought that Elizabeth would call off the banquet after such an incident had occurred. However, the more one thought about it, the more it made sense.

The very first thing Matthew did after the wedding was call the company’s public relations team. In fact, involving them was a brilliant move as he had managed to control the commotion before it escalated.

Even so, such a trivial incident had caused Spinfluence Group, a corporation which raked in an annual profit that surpassed trillions, to incur some losses. It would not be an exaggeration to say that a mere sneeze from them could lead to a turmoil in the stock market.

About an hour later, Veronica was planning on leaving the hospital and Elizabeth requested Matthew to send her home. While they walked to the elevator, Veronica did not bother to talk to him at all. Once they arrived at the inpatient department, the man finally broke the silence. “Hold on. I’ll get the car.”

“Am I amputated? Do I not have legs? I don’t need you to drive me home,” she retaliated and glared at him before leaving the scene with pride.

What should I do with this unprincipled scoundrel that knows no boundaries? Of course, I should distance myself from him. There is no better answer than this.

Now that she was deep in her thoughts, Veronica had walked long enough to realize that she should purchase her own car for the sake of convenience. When she left, Matthew did not chase after her.

However, a car halted next to her just as she arrived at the roadside where a familiar voice called for her. “Hop on.”

It was an authoritative tone, which left her no room to refuse. After becoming vexed, she had enough of his arrogance and after glancing at the oncoming cab, she waved her hand to hail the driver and instantly got into the vehicle. Her actions were reflected onto the rearview mirror and Matthew was disgruntled upon witnessing the entire thing.

This pampered woman!

Swiftly, he followed closely behind the cab until they arrived at a hotel. As he watched Veronica entering the building, he waited a few minutes before walking in to confirm his suspicions, only to be told that she was staying there for the time being. Despite the vast metropolis, she had no place to call ‘home’.

Matthew felt his chest tightening due to the heart-wrenching truth.

…

It was Elizabeth’s 65th birthday banquet today at the Kings Residence and an influx of leading figures as well as renowned celebrities from the city was being welcomed to the place.
