Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Matthew’s Immense Anger

Since that was the case, Matthew didn’t want to pursue it any further.

As Veronica watched his car gradually drive off, she reached out and stroked her chin. Suddenly, she felt her face flush red.

This annoying man seemed to be behaving much more tenderly toward her than ever. Her heart raced and thudded frantically. This is too much!

…

Two days later, the charity project of Bloomstead was held at Hilton Hotel.

That afternoon, Veronica sorted out all of her work at the company and was about to leave for Hilton Hotel.

At that moment, an unknown male walked into her room and stood in front of her. “Hi, Miss Murphy, I’m Troy Ritter, and I’m President Kings’ newly appointed personal assistant. This is the gown he sent me over with.”

“Newly appointed personal assistant?”

Veronica frowned. “Thomas was doing the job well, so why was he replaced?”

The person in front of her also had the same last name as Thomas—Ritter—and he had a strong resemblance to Thomas, but he was slightly taller and darker. This man seemed to exude a righteous air. Though he wasn’t exceptionally handsome, he was quite masculine and his looks were quite comfortable on the eyes.

“The other day, that brat Thomas was rude toward you, Miss Murphy, so President Kings gave him some time off.” Troy smiled and responded politely.

“Has he been dismissed?”

“No, he has just been given some time off and has gone on a break.” Troy didn’t dare to reveal much, so he didn’t tell Veronica the truth.

Matthew had not brought up this matter with Veronica, so she didn’t bother about it too much. She took the gown from Troy and mentioned, “Thanks.”

“President Kings said he would be here later to pick you up and drive you to the event.”

“Okay.”

Veronica affirmed this, and subsequently, Troy left.

She took the gown and changed into it at the company. After doing that, she waited patiently for Matthew to arrive.

The exquisite and pretty gown she had on attracted the attention of her colleagues, and everyone was full of praise and admiration. She had no choice but to tell them that it was a rental gown.

Ten minutes later, Matthew arrived at the entrance of her company, and there was a buzz on her phone from the notification by Matthew. She instantly grabbed her square bag and walked out to get into the front passenger seat of his car.

She was dressed in a figure-hugging, strapless gown that was cinched at the waist, and the silver gown was adorned with sequins. The special material glittered slightly like the night skies as the sunlight hit the dress. It was stunning.

Matthew glanced at her, and his eyes shone at the sight of her. He was once again wowed by her stunning looks.

She looked good in anything that she donned, and she always seemed to be able to bring out the best and prettiest features of every gown that she put on. She looked just like an elegant princess coming out of the castle, and there was an air of nobility that she exuded.

“You have good taste.” Veronica was generous with her praises.

In response, he curled his lips into a slight smile and retracted his gaze. As he drove, he replied, “It fits you very well.”

Ding— As he drove, there was the sound of a text message notification on his cell phone.

His cell phone number was not generally known to many people, so it must be something urgent if the other party contacted him.

He took a look at his cell phone while waiting at the traffic lights, and he saw that it was a text message from a bank with the reminder, ‘Bank of Destor- Transaction of 328888.00 completed by Veronica Murphy on October 8th, 17:05. Your current balance…’

As soon as he saw the message, his expression instantly turned thunderous, and he turned to look at her with a cold expression in his eyes. “What do you mean by this?”

“It’s an expression of my gratitude for your help in picking out a gown for me. You’ve saved me the effort of picking out a gown by myself.” Veronica beamed at him, and her red lips curved slightly.

She had checked the price of this gown and the exact cost was 328888.

She didn’t want to have any unnecessary monetary entanglements with Matthew, so after checking the price of the gown, she swiftly transferred the amount it cost to him.
