Chapter 486 Discovering the Truth
Veronica had carefully distinguished the voices in the recording, and it was really Matthew’s voice. As she was highly sensitive to voices—after all, she had to mimic voices when dressing up in different genders and had also worked as a voice actress before—she was sure that the recording was authentic.
However… she thought. If Matthew really doesn’t like Sasha, then why did he insist on breaking up with me and even act like he really likes Sasha?
All of a sudden, Veronica felt as though she was thrown into a deep, confusing abyss, and she had lost her way and couldn’t find the exit. “Where did this recording come from? What if it was staged by a few voice actors? Who knows?”
She immediately adopted a disdainful expression as she attempted to get some information from Adrian. “The other day, I placed a miniature bug into her pocket when Sasha came to see me. So, it’s not difficult to find out this information.” “I think Sasha doesn’t like you, does she?”
Despite the fact that she didn’t have many interactions with Sasha, she was sure that she liked Matthew. People always said that the eyes were the windows to the soul, and the eyes would unwittingly reveal emotions when a person was in love.
“You’re brilliant, Miss Murphy.” Adrian didn’t deny the truth. “Yes, Sasha doesn’t love me. Since you know that she has undergone surgery before, you should understand that no one else in this world can accept her but me. At the same time, she’s very reliant on me.”
“If she’s reliant on you, why is she staying by Matthew’s side? I really think you’re overestimating yourself, Mr. Colland.”
“The fact that she likes Matthew Kings doesn’t affect my love for her. I invited you today because I want to strike a deal with you.” He rubbed his fingers against the coffee cup on the table, then took a sip and continued, “From the recording, I can tell that Matthew Kings likes you. You—”
Before he could finish, Veronica broke him off, saying, “The recording can’t prove anything, and I’m sure that he doesn’t like me.”
After she listened to the recording, she could be sure of one thing—if Matthew didn’t like Sasha, she could test that out in many ways, but if he really didn’t like Sasha, it meant that he had some secrets he couldn’t reveal, or he had no other choice.
In that case, it went to show that Matthew was purposely distancing himself from her by breaking up with her, and it was highly possible that he was scheming something. Hence, she should play along with him.
Despite that, she wasn’t a hundred percent sure about the relationship between Matthew and Sasha, so she reckoned that there was a need to keep it a secret for Matthew.
“Also, there’s something else which you probably don’t know about, Mr. Colland.” He raised her brows as she shrugged helplessly. “That evening after I met you in the café, Sasha came to look for me and started a fight with me because she felt that I was still seducing Matthew even after the breakup. I struck her, and Matthew happened to see that. After that, he forced me to apologize to her, but I refused. Just one word from him later, it completely destroyed my career, and he also sent the word out that anyone that hires me is making an enemy out of the Kings Family,” she said, telling him what happened that day.
However, this came as unbelievable to Adrian. “That’s impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible.” She tilted her head as she looked into the distance forlornly and sighed deeply. “People are capable of anything when they’re mad. Who knows if they didn’t plan this recording specially for you?”
Only God knows, she thought, unable to explain this recording despite brooding over it.
She wasn’t sure about Matthew’s real purpose at the moment, so this was all she could do.
“Mr. Colland, I don’t think I can help you with anything because I can’t even save myself from the fire pit.”
Finally, she rose to her feet as she intended to leave the café.
“Wait a minute.” Adrian sang a different tune this time, “Nevertheless, I still think that Matthew Kings has feelings for you. His family is huge, and so is their family business. Therefore, it’s impossible for him to date Sasha because she can’t bear any children.”
