Chapter 21
When Matthew saw her feeling all dumbfounded with a face of frustration and despair, he was a little surprised.
After all, in the entire city of Bloomstead, countless women would chase after him and break their bones in the pursuit to conceive his child.
However, though Veronica had his child, it made him feel that she was in misery.
What Veronica once said came to his mind. “Although you’re rich and good-looking, Matthew, not every woman is dying to be married to you, so you don’t have to be so smug all the time.”As long as you quit your job in the club, I will assemble a medical expert team to
treat your father immediately-free of charge for any operations.”
He stood in front of her, looking down at her with cold and arrogant eyes.
When she heard his words, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her depressed face remained mostly void of emotion. “So, if I quit my job, but I abort the child, will you still treat my dad?”
She didn’t get any answer from the man.
When she raised her eyes to meet his, she stared at him with a pained gaze for a few seconds.
He said, “Don’t be delusional”
She chuckled self-deprecatingly. “Heh. So please don’t package it as if it’s something noble. You want me to give birth to a child for you, and you will treat my dad in exchange. Isn’t it just an equivalent transaction?”
Those doctors from the expert group couldn’t be hired with money. How could Veronica not see reality clearly?
“You can always make other demands as well.”
Matthew spoke in a low voice.
“I don’t-“Before she continued with her sentence, Veronica had a moment of epiphany and she said, “If you can help me investigate my parents’ car accident, I will
do it.”
If a child could exchange for the rehabilitation of her father, and give them justice for the car accident…
Veronica was naturally more than willing to do it.
Although doing this would be bad for the child in her womb, she knew that she was not powerful enough to go against Matthew. If he really wanted her to give birth to this child, there would be countless ways for him to do so.
Rather than stubbomly resisting, it was better for her to get something of equal value in exchange.
“Fine by me.”
Matthew readily agreed.
Veronica pursed her lips lightly. Her straight back hunched over a little, and she lowered her head weakly to look down at the ground, saying nothing.
She was incompetent.
It was exactly because of her incompetence that made her unable to protect her adoptive parents, and she couldn’t even control her own right to have children.
She wanted to become stronger, but she didn’t know where to start.
“However, you must move to the Kings Residence.”
“I’ll do that in a few days. I want some time to myself to calm down.”
Veronica sighed deeply and turned her head to look at the vehicles passing by on the road, feeling annoyed.
Matthew acquiesced to her condition.
Then, he got into the car and left.
As she looked at the car that was driving away, Veronica suddenly felt shivers all over her body, as if she was in an ice cellar.
He only saw her as a ‘reproductive tool’; otherwise, how would he treat her so mercilessly?
Back at the Kings Residence.
After Matthew returned home, he saw Elizabeth.
“How is Veronica?”
As soon as she saw him, Elizabeth immediately asked about Veronica, but in fact, she cared more about the child in her womb.
Matthew’s sharp eyebrows and eyes showed nothing but coldness. “I can allow Veronica Murphy to give birth to a child for the Kings Family–but my woman must be the right match for me.”
Recently, Matthew had been thinking a lot
In addition to that, he had frequent contact with Tiffany Larson and found that she had a good character, and she was considered a rather talented and beautiful woman in Bloomstead-she was the best choice to marry into the Kings Family
interests, and the idea of making the Kings Family bigger and stronger.
