Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 A Little Worried

After a while, Veronica suddenly thought of a key point. “Uncle Conrad came back not too long ago. How did you two get so close?”

She then looked at Yvonne with sharp eyes without blinking, trying to detect anything out of the ordinary on her friend’s face.

Sure enough, Yvonne, who had always been a social butterfly, suddenly had a subtle tinge of crimson on her cheeks.

Veronica narrowed her eyes slightly…

Something fishy was going on!

“What do you mean? Remember the charity event last time when you dragged me to dance with Conrad? We exchanged phone numbers back then,” Yvonne explained.

“Oh.”

Veronica recalled what happened that day, nodded in response, and said nothing more. She merely glanced at Conrad, who was driving, and fell into deep thought.

Although she was not close to him, he was a comfortable person to hang out with. He was not as cold as Matthew, but for some reason, she had a hunch that Conrad was not a simple person.

Even Matthew had warned her before.

Conrad and Xavier, who were sitting in the driver’s seat and the passenger seat, were chatting and laughing along the way. They seemed to get along well, so Veronica was relieved.

After more than an hour, they arrived at Alpine Ski Resort in Bloomstead.

Alpine Ski Resort was the largest ski resort in Bloomstead. In fact, it was the largest in the country.

Not only were there snowboard skiing activities available, there were also tubing, ice sculpture exhibitions, as well as performances at night. It was a great place for winter travel and vacation.

Since the ski resort was at a high altitude and was on the shady slope of the mountain, it only operated skiing activities in November every year until March of the following year.

Ski resorts required ski tracks with different slopes. Therefore, the owner of Alpine Ski Resort would convert the steep ski tracks into paragliding spots in summer while the shorter ski tracks would be modified to accommodate other activities to ensure that the venue was not vacant and that they had continuous revenue throughout the year.

Once everyone got out of the car, they saw how crowded it was at the ski resort. Veronica could see that this place was profiting by the minute and she could not help but sigh. “The business here is really good. The boss of Alpine must have made a lot of money.”

“Yeah. Just look at the crowd!” Yvonne also sighed.

The endless stream of tourists was equivalent to walking cash notes.

“Yeah. Business is really good. As expected, Matthew is a smart businessman.” Conrad put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat as he watched groups of tourists walking into the ski resort, looking like he was sincerely happy for Matthew.

“Is this ski resort under Matthew’s name?”

Veronica was a little stunned because she did not expect Alpine Ski Resort to belong to him.

“Let’s head in,” Xavier suggested.

The others nodded and entered Alpine Ski Resort together to get tickets.

“Wait here. I’ll go and get us tickets,” Xavier offered.

Veronica pondered about it before suggesting, “Why don’t you go, Uncle Conrad?” She then looked at Conrad and smiled. “You are Matthew’s uncle, so you must be able to get a discount for us. Perhaps we can even get a pass to play all the activities in the resort to make our visit worth it!”

The cost of a huge resort like this one must have been a hefty amount. In addition to the labor, water, electricity, and maintenance fees, the tickets must be pricey.

“True!” Yvonne strongly agreed with Veronica’s suggestion, so she urged, “Conrad, I think you should go instead.”

“Of course, if you want me to.”

The corner of Conrad’s lips curled into a smile. Though it looked villainous, there was a hint of obedience in his smile. Turning around, he walked to the ticket window while calling Matthew.

“I’ll get some drinks for you girls,” offered Xavier as he walked to a stall and lined up.
