Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434 The Encounter With Matthew

Three months and nine days. Over the past month, Veronica had been acting like a wounded deer, hiding in a corner and licking its wounds when she was sad.

Time was the best healer for her broken heart, so she assumed she had already moved on. However, she could not help but feel heartbroken when she saw Matthew standing in front of her. But… Who knew that he was also in the same excruciating pain?

However, he refused to show it to the woman he loved. “Oh, it’s Young Master Matthew. I’m sorry for bumping into you.” Veronica took a step back and a polite small smile was plastered on her cheeks.

Matthew’s heart tightened as he detected the hint of alienation in her tone. Even though she had not seen him since the breakup, in this day and age, it was impossible not to hear about him.

Veronica knew from the Internet and her acquaintances that Matthew had been working feverishly these days, preparing to launch a market in Castron by investing heavily and acquiring companies; he was very preoccupied.

The man maintained his gaze on her as if he wanted to read her emotions from her expression, but he could not figure out what she was thinking.

Veronica’s unwavering eyes and indifferent expression blinded him to anything unusual. “You…” Matthew was surprised to find himself speechless after blurting out one word.

“Since you’re fine, I’ll be heading off first.” She smiled brightly while brushing past him and gracefully walked away. However, the smile on her cheeks vanished the moment she walked past him. Instead, she sped up, almost trotting away.

When Matthew turned around, Veronica had already exited the inpatient department’s hall; her hasty escape seemed to convey her embarrassment and direness. “Why are you making things so difficult for yourself?”

Emerging from the corner, he stood beside the man and patted his shoulder. Matthew, on the other hand, remained silent before turning around to walk away.

The reason why he showed up was because he happened to be next to Skyler when Veronica called. As a result, he came to the hospital with Skyler.

After three months of cultivation by Starshine Media Agency, Veronica had become increasingly outstanding and he had been watching her catwalk on Bloomstead TV.

At the end of the day, he drove aimlessly after leaving the hospital.

To his surprise, he saw a familiar figure on the side of the road…

It was Master Crayson!

When Matthew saw Crayson, he was instantly transported back to that night three months ago.

The night when he and Veronica were about to register their marriage when her parents and the old man rushed to Bloomstead to prevent them. Followed by that, Crayson and Matthew had a lengthy conversation outside One Piece Restaurant’s private room.

“Now that you know who Veronica is, you should expect her to leave Bloomstead sooner or later. I’ll take her away right now if you wish to register for marriage with her.”

“You should know something about Gu poison; a colorless, tasteless, and lethal venom-based poison,” Crayson explained while staring at Matthew without waiting for a response.

However, the usual calm and steady man instantly shuddered at the words ‘colorless and tasteless’.

Back in the underground chamber, he had witnessed what Veronica had to go through and even found the jar in the secret room for testing, but to no avail at last.

So, it makes sense now! It is extremely poisonous!

Matthew nodded in response when he heard that. “Hmm.”

“So, do you know how to treat the poison? Do you know where the hidden clan can be found? Also, why is there no evidence that Tiffany was murdered?”

The fatal three consecutive questions caught Crayson off guard. The last time he was in such distress was probably ten years ago.

In regards to Tiffany’s death, even though it was declared a suicide, but even the forensic doctor was unable to determine the cause.

“According to the hidden clan’s rules, the Young Lord will become patriarch at the age of 24. Veronica has just turned 22, which means she will have to leave Bloomstead in about a year and a half.”
