On the road, Veronica drove while connecting to Bluetooth and she made a phone call to Matthew. "Matt, I passed the audition."
She was extremely happy, feeling that her dream was getting closer and closer.
"As expected. My wife is amazing," Matthew sincerely praised her.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shirley listened to the lovey-dovey conversation and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She was on the verge of covering her ears to block out their dialogue.
"I'm actually surprised too. I was worried that I wouldn't pass the audition."
"You lack confidence," Matthew said gently.
Veronica smiled and said, "I'm going to have dinner with Crazy tonight and won't be going back. By the way, any news about Shirley?"
"We've found her. She rented an apartment on the outskirts of the city."
"Does Skyler know?"
"We haven't told Drew yet. Don't we have to wait for your 'verdict' first?" Matthew spoke with a doting tone, as if he wanted to hold Veronica in the palm of his hand.
Feeling his intense love, Veronica was like being in a honey pot, feeling so happy that she was almost dizzy.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let Skyler Robins know that I'm safe for now. Don't reveal Shirley's location at the moment. Let him deal with his family first."
"I'll listen to you," Matthew agreed.
Afterwards, two of them chatted sweetly on the phone for a while before finally hanging up.
"You finally hung up. If you didn't, I would have ended our friendship!" Shirley rolled her eyes at Veronica. "Please don't always show affection in front of me. Do you believe that one day I will regret it and forcibly snatch your husband?"
"That would require you to have the ability to do so," Veronica said confidently.
That confidence wasn't about herself but about her absolute trust in Matthew.
"Ugh, I'm so fed up." Shirley raised her hand and rubbed her temples. "No, I need to find a man too. Otherwise, I'll end up feeling unwanted."
"Love is not something you can force."
Skyler was lying on the ground and looked at Veronica. He weakly waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
He propped himself up with one hand on the ground, the other covering his head, and struggled to get up.
"You're injured quite badly. Maybe I should take you to the hospital." Veronica expressed her concern when she saw his serious injuries.
The man shook his head again. "I'm really fine. You can go."
"I've already called the police. Hey, be careful!" Veronica was about to say something when she suddenly saw the man swaying and then falling down.
She quickly stepped forward and caught him in her arms. She realized that the man in her arms had already fainted.
Shirley got out of the car and asked, "I've already called the police. How is he? Is he okay?"
"Come and help me. Let's get him in the car and take him to the hospital first." Veronica knew that the hospital was not far ahead and didn't want to delay, so she decided to take him there for treatment.
