Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 The Awkward Call

Veronica was so popular right now, so if she became an internet broadcaster and sold some products, surely she would be able to earn a lot.

She felt slightly regretful at the moment.

If she wasn’t restricted by her identity, she would definitely take this opportunity to engage the crowd and introduce Vincere Games to them. Perhaps then she would be able to make some money from her current popularity. Unfortunately, she could not do so under her current circumstances.

She arrived back home and rested for a moment before her cell phone chimed.

She grabbed her cell phone to take a look, and she saw that it was Elizabeth on the line.

Veronica furrowed her neat brows and remained lost in thought. Since the start of her trouble, Elizabeth had not contacted her at all, but right now…

She thought of everything that Matthew had done for her, and she couldn’t help thinking that perhaps it was done under the instructions of Elizabeth in private.

“Hi, Grandma.”

As soon as the phone was put through, Veronica greeted Elizabeth affectionately.

For some reason, each time she spoke on the phone with Elizabeth, she felt a sense of familiarity. Perhaps it was because Elizabeth was an affable person and Veronica got along well with her.

“Veronica, you must have been in so much torment for the past two days. I didn’t contact you for the past two days, so are y-you… mad at me?” Elizabeth smiled warmly, and she seemed quite kind.

“Of course not! I just hope you haven’t found me a nuisance.” Veronica stood in front of the window and looked at the night skies outside. She couldn’t help heaving a huge sigh.

“I knew about your matter from the start of everything. I purposely went to see that brat Matthew on your behalf, but he said that he wanted you to go through this as training, so he refused to interfere. This is all his fault!”

Elizabeth suddenly realized that Matthew’s silly suggestion was such a bad idea. “Come to think of it, you’re a girl, and all those speculations were indeed very damaging to your reputation.”

“Grandma…”

Veronica pursed her lips and hesitated before saying, “Actually, Matthew helped me a lot secretly.”

“Oh? Is that so? That’s great then. Hahaha. That’s great!” Elizabeth was in great spirits as soon as she heard her mention that Matthew had helped her a lot secretly.

She instantly responded, “It’s quite late now and I feel bad for making you worry about me. It’s late, so you should go to bed. I’ll pop by to visit you tomorrow.”

“Sure! That’s great. I haven’t seen you for so many days and I miss you.”

“Okay, I’ll go back to visit you tomorrow.”

After she had chatted with Elizabeth for a while, she hung up the phone.

Veronica was worried that her adoptive parents back in her hometown would worry, so she gave them a call and explained the situation briefly.

Finally, she managed to alleviate the worries of the Murphy couple.

She sensed that their anxious feelings had dissipated and they had calmed down significantly, so she hung up the phone after realizing that.

She sat in bed and switched on her computer to conduct a video conference with the other partners of Vincere Games.

The various partners started off by expressing concern for her situation over the past two days, and then they discussed some company matters. It was only when they had finished the discussion did Veronica end the call.

She lay in bed and played on her cell phone. She couldn’t help but click into Matthew’s WhatsApp profile.

She recalled that night when he had handed over the flash drive with the evidence to her. It had been late at night and bitterly cold then, but he had silently done so much for her without even taking credit for anything. She felt quite bad about that.

She tapped into a conversation with him and typed, ‘Are you asleep?’

She studied those words carefully for quite some time before finally pressing backspace.

Subsequently, she altered the text message, ‘What have you been busy with lately?’

After she had typed that sentence, she hesitated for quite some time about whether or not she should press send. Finally, she deleted the words slowly.

“Gosh! This is so frustrating!”

She scratched her head frustratedly, and finally, she ended up dialing Matthew’s number.

“Doo. Doo. Doo.”

His cell phone went off, and even though it was just a short moment, she found that the time seemed to drag on. Suddenly, his face popped into her mind.

She envisioned his indifferent look as he spoke coldly, “It’s the middle of the night, so why did you call me?”
