Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Veronica shrugged helplessly. “I’m a person who is hundreds of thousands in debt, so this is already the best place I can treat you to dinner.”

If it weren’t for her adoptive parents repeatedly asking her to buy Matthew a meal, she wouldn’t have done so. It was a waste to spend even a dime on Matthew!

“Perhaps you can consider using your body to repay the debt.” Matthew sat opposite Veronica and crossed his legs, then he leaned against the sofa, his thin lips curling into a sneer.

Veronica shot him a cold glance and handed him the menu. “Young Master Matthew, hurry up and order. Eat quickly. I still have business to attend to.”

Without even looking at the menu, Matthew gestured to the waiter, who came over and asked politely, “What would you two like to order?”

“The most expensive one-person meal. Fifty servings,” the man said to the waiter in a nonchalant manner.

Upon hearing this, Veronica became furious. “Fifty servings? Are you planning to feed the entire planet?” He was ordering so much that he certainly wouldn’t be able to finish them.

“It’s not too much to buy the medical specialists who helped treat your father’s illness a meal each.”

Matthew had made up his mind to take advantage of Veronica. What he said made complete sense, so much so that Veronica couldn’t find fault with him.

“How much is the most expensive one-person meal?” she asked in a huff.

“The most expensive one-person meal is 288 per serving.”

“288?”

Then, 50 servings would cost more than 14,000!

Veronica felt her rage boil, but she dared not offend Matthew. After all, she was facing a man with great power. If she upset him, the medical expenses of Saint Hospital would probably be increased tenfold.

Taking a sip of plain water, she calmed herself down, then asked, “Is there a discount for members?”

“No discounts are available for this meal.”

“Then go ahead. And give me another pot of plain water.”

Veronica had no intention of eating. She just wanted to drink a pot of water to extinguish the fire within her.

After a while, the waiter came over to tell Veronica that she had to pay the bill before the food could be served because she had placed a massive order. She tearfully swiped 14,000 away.

With the receipt in hand, Veronica walked up to Matthew and said as calmly as possible, “Young Master Matthew, I’ve treated you to dinner. You can take your time eating. I’ll leave first.” With that, she turned around to leave.

“I dare you to walk away.” Matthew calmly sipped on his plain water.

That one sentence alone dispelled Veronica’s thought of leaving. “You…”

You b*stard! Furious, Veronica sat opposite him, then lowered her head and played with her phone.

At this moment, Matthew’s phone rang, and he said, “Kaymite Restaurant. Courtside Road. Yes.”

Veronica wasn’t interested in listening to him speak, and neither did she care. While scrolling through her phone, she suddenly saw news about the money-scamming schemes by beautiful women. This gave her an idea. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Matthew, who was sitting opposite her, and a plan formed in her mind.

The two were silent for half an hour, and the solemn atmosphere was interrupted by someone’s appearance.

“Matthew, why did you come to this… Veronica?”

As Matthew’s fiancée, Tiffany had called to ask him to have dinner together, so he told her that he was here. Walking into the cheap western restaurant, Tiffany thought that Matthew had given her the wrong address. God only knew how angry and jealous she was when she walked in and saw Veronica sitting opposite Matthew!

Veronica tilted her head and felt extreme disgust when she looked at the elegant and

stunning Tiffany, who was wearing a princess-like dress with light makeup on her face. She even wondered if she would one day hate her reflection in the mirror, since she was so disgusted when looking at Tiffany now.

“Sit down.” Matthew pointed to the seat beside him.

Before Tiffany finished speaking, Veronica gathered her strength and gave her a fierce slap across the face. “Don’t always treat others like fools. Do you think I don’t know about the incident at Hilton? I just didn’t want to hold it against you.”
