The Hundred Billion Dollar Love novel Chapter 15

His cold gaze swept over Veronica for a moment before it shifted over to Xavier. “What is it? Have you gotten another girlfriend?”

Xavier had an evil grin as he wrapped an arm around Veronica’s waist. “Let me introduce her: this is Roni, my new girlfriend.” Then he looked at Veronica. “And this is Bloomstead’s famous young, talented bachelor who’s a devil in the business world, Matthew Kings.”

Although Xavier was singing Matthew’s praises, Veronica could somehow sense the insincerity behind his words, and she also sensed his distaste for Matthew. Incidentally, she also disliked Matthew, so she played along, turning to look at him and dipping her head. Then, she pretended not to know him as she greeted him. “So you’re Matthew Kings. Your name far precedes you. Now that we’ve met, you do indeed live up to your reputation.”

Matthew’s flawless, handsome face visibly darkened at her words.

Even his assistant behind him, Thomas, couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from twitching madly. Oh dear… Looks like Miss Murphy is challenging Young Master Matthew.

“Such an ugly woman is capable of catching your attention?” Matthew asked in a low voice.

“Haha, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

“Looks like Young Master Xavier’s eyesight isn’t exactly great. Why don’t I introduce you to a reputable ophthalmologist?”

“After being so used to seeing all these women with cakey makeup, I feel that a lady like Roni here is easier on the eyes.”

“Easier on the eyes? Or better at seduction?”

Matthew’s handsome features were as frigid as could be, his powerful aura putting pressure on Veronica. Despite that, Veronica simply hid her anger. She didn’t rebuke him.

“Hahaha…” Upon hearing Matthew’s words, Xavier tipped his head back and guffawed. All of a sudden, though, he pressed a hand to his chest. A wave of nausea hit him, and he bent over to try and throw up. After several moments of dry heaving, he wasn’t able to vomit anything up. He then put an arm around Veronica’s shoulder. “Roni, help me get out of here. I feel horrible.”

Veronica nodded. “Let’s go.” Rearranging Xavier’s arm in a natural manner around her shoulders, she then began to help Xavier out of the washroom. Matthew and Thomas didn’t step aside from the door even when they saw her approaching.

Veronica shot a cold glare at them. “Mr. Kings, please step aside.” Great barkers are no biters!

Matthew’s sharp gaze pressed down on Veronica. For that one moment their eyes met, his icy eyes emitted a frigid aura. A few seconds later, Matthew took a few steps back, creating a path for Veronica and Xavier.

“Thank you, Mr. Kings!” Veronica deliberately pitched her voice higher. She might be thanking him, but her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

Xavier immediately grinned at Matthew after that and mimicked Veronica’s tone. “Thank you, Mr. Kings… urk…”

Due to how close Xavier was because they had just passed him, Veronica was worried that Xavier would actually throw up all over Matthew when he dry heaved.

The two of them then left.

It wasn’t until they vanished past the end of the corridor leading to the washrooms that Thomas finally voiced his question. “Young Master Matthew, do you want me to get someone to teach Xavier a lesson?”

Matthew’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chilly glint shining in them. “Getting up in arms over a useless dreck like him will only lower myself to his level.”

“But…”

Thomas wanted to continue, but Matthew had already begun to leave.

Meanwhile, Veronica helped Xavier out of the Twilight Club. Xavier’s servant came over to greet them, having waited for hours for his employer. “Did he have too much to drink again?”

“Hurry up and take him home. Remember to sober him up.” Veronica pushed Xavier over to his servant before raising her arm to sniff at it. The scent of alcohol on herself was pungent and unpleasant on the nose. It gave her the urge to vomit.

He’s visibly drunk, yet he was able to notice such a “small detail”? Veronica shook her head. “What’s with that joke? He’s like a legend. All we can do is look up at him from our stations. How would he and I know each other?”
