Chapter 530 The Beauty of a Honeymoon Phase
Veronica pulled Yvonne behind her to protect her with a faint smile on her pale face. “How do you want to play?” “Oh? You’re quite open-minded.”
The fat man raised his hand to caress Veronica’s cheek, but before he could touch her, he received a kick from her that sent him flying. With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground, hitting the chairs in front of the bar counter and causing the people nearby to take a few steps backward in alarm before they crowded around him to watch.
“Done already? I haven’t played enough yet.”
Veronica raised her eyebrows, her innocent face tinged with a hint of dashing provocation. Though she clearly looked harmless and could even make any man desire to protect her, she was surprisingly ruthless. It made the crowd of onlookers thoroughly impressed by her, and many men even looked at her with infatuated and admiring eyes.
“You… Ouch, damn it… It hurts…” The fat man lying on the ground covered his abdomen with one hand as he pointed at Veronica with a trembling hand, his pain causing him to be unable to complete a full sentence.
“I beat you up as a lesson for you. Don’t just pounce on a woman whenever you see one. It makes you look like a primitive beast!” Veronica cursed before she dragged Yvonne through the crowd and headed outside.
The crowd made way for her while murmuring to themselves.
“Wow, this lady is so cool.”
“I think I’m in love.”
“Wow, she’s too cool. I’ve already fallen for her even though I’m a girl.”
“She was so protective of that girl. Do you think they’re a couple?”
“Nonsense. They’re clearly best friends.”
“This man is so cheap for hitting on girls just because he’s bored. How shameless.”
…
Veronica, who had already left the nightclub, didn’t hear what they were saying. She stopped a cab by the roadside and took Yvonne back to her rental house. She was still unsure of Conrad’s current state, but she was certain that he was badly injured. Based on his personality, he would definitely not be willing to give up. Hence, for Yvonne and her own safety, Veronica decided to take her to a hotel for the night.
After booking a room, she took Yvonne, who had remained silent throughout their journey, to the room. After silently taking a bath, Yvonne went straight to bed.
When she lay down, she said to Veronica weakly, “Thank you for accompanying me. It’s late now. You should hurry back. Also, you hurt Conny—I mean, Conrad, so you have to be careful in case he takes revenge on you.”
Yvonne’s words of concern made all the worries in Veronica’s heart disappear instantly. She had been fretting over Yvonne’s various emotions earlier, but now that Yvonne had calmed down and mellowed out, Veronica naturally felt much better.
“It’s okay. You should rest now.”
Veronica walked to the living room and lazily sprawled out on the couch as she took out her phone. To her surprise, there were several missed calls on her phone. When she was in the hospital, she had turned on the silent mode and forgot to switch it off. Hence, her call log was filled with unanswered calls from Matthew and Crayson.
She immediately opened Matthew’s WhatsApp and sent him a text message. ‘I’ve injured Conrad, and I’m laying low with Yvonne at a hotel right now. I don’t think it’s convenient to take her back to the apartment because she doesn’t know about us yet.’
Veronica was very careful. Knowing the ‘rivalry’ between Matthew and Conrad, she was afraid that Yvonne would be suspicious again because she was with Matthew.
Bzzt—
The phone, which had been put on vibrate mode, rattled with a text from Matthew.
“How fast,” she muttered as she tapped on the message.
