Female Novel
The Life Of A Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Getting Rid of Veronica
Her pretentiousness made Veronica feel sick to the core.
As she pursed her lips and had an emotionless face, she brushed her hand away. “You’ll have to askMatt…” After glancing at Matthew from an angle, she continued, “You’ll have to ask my brother… whenhe will marry you.”
At that moment, not only was Veronica disgusted by Tiffany, she also simultaneously was disgustedwith herself for addressing Matthew as her brother.
It was evident those words had hurt Tiffany as her mesmerizingly beautiful face wore a terrifyingexpression.
Rachel, who was watching by the side, did not manifest her anger outwardly. With a look of a noblelady, she calmly stated, “The engagement was only recently decided, so there’s no rush to getmarried.”
“Yes, Mom’s right,” Tiffany gracefully retorted. At that moment, her facade was nearly broken underVeronica’s constant cynicism. To maintain her image in front of Matthew, Tiffany could only say, “I’mgoing to visit Grandma with Mom now. We’ll talk later.” After that, she hinted at Rachel with her gazebefore they both entered the ward.
Only Matthew and Veronica were left outside the small living room of the ward. Raising his eyebrow, helooked at her deeply while asking with a firm tone, “What happened between you two?”
While avoiding the question, she gave a slight smirk as she took out a note from her pocket and placedit in front of him. “Please pay for the bill first.” After all, they had agreed on the prepaid wage of 10,000per day.
Matthew reminded her, “Answer my question.”
“I’m not obligated to answer you, nor do I need to satisfy your curiosity.” Aside from being arrogant,Veronica also had a feeling that she couldn’t care less about this.
Ring, ring, ring.
It was at this moment when her phone rang. As she took it out, she looked at the screen only todiscover it was a call from Xavier. Then, she suddenly realized that this was supposed to be her firstday of work at Xavier’s company.
A frowning Veronica pouted in distress as she answered the call.
“Roni, where are you? I’ve been waiting for you at the company for two hours now,” Xavier questionedher from the other side.
“Haha…” Veronica awkwardly laughed before she replied, “Xavier, about that… I’m sorry, but Isuddenly ran into some issues.”
“I could care less about your issues. Just come here immediately. If I don’t see you present within halfan hour, don’t blame me if I come over to drag you from your house!”
“Erm, about that, I—”
Beep… Beep…
Before she could explain any further, Xavier had already hung up. Is this guy really angry? She silentlychided herself as she actually forgot that today was the first day of work at his company. That was thereason why she promised Matthew to accompany him to watch over his grandmother.
Keeping her phone away, Veronica glanced at the note with her bank account details beforeimmediately bending over to retrieve it. “What I said earlier was a joke. I’ll be taking this back then.”
Leaning against the sofa, Matthew looked at her with a mysterious gaze. “Do you know what kind ofanimal comes and goes on command?”
“What?” His strange words threw her for a loop.novelbin
“Your actions are indistinguishable from a dog.”
The man’s insulting words absolutely humiliated her and even his gaze held certain amounts of scorn.She’s ready to leave so eagerly just because Xavier has asked her to?
Folding the paper, Veronica had been listening to him until she stopped in her actions. As she slowlyraised her head, under her luscious eyelashes was a dull gaze that gradually turned into fury. Whiletightly holding onto the note, she had a deep frown. “Matthew…”
In the end, although a blazing fire was burning inside her, she still managed to suppress her anger afternearly failing to control her emotions.
“The difference between me and a dog is that I have a human heart whereas dogs are just ungratefulcreatures!” After saying that, she left without even turning back.
At that moment, Matthew felt more like he was being scolded by Veronica instead of him lecturing her.
Then, the pair of mother and daughter came out after visiting Elizabeth. Upon noticing Veronica’sabsence, Tiffany asked, “Matthew, where’s Veronica?”
“She left.” Lowering his head, the man was looking at his computer as he immersed himself in work. Hedid not even spare Tiffany a glance throughout the whole process of replying to her. It was as if his coldattitude was telling her that she was not worth it for him to show any interest toward.
“I’ve just discussed with Grandma and we’ve decided that I’ll stay here with you these few days to takecare of her together,” Tiffany informed Matthew.
Her soft tone and gentle demeanor all pointed to her being a candidate for a wonderful wife. Therewere no men safe from her charms, yet it was Matthew who was immune to all this.
“Yes, yes, your grandma did say that.” Rachel quickly followed up on her words, “Tiffany iscoincidentally quite free nowadays, so allowing her to come take care of Old Mrs. Kings would also bea good way to foster their relationship.”
“As long as Grandma agrees, I’ve no qualms about it,” he said bluntly.
However, in the midst of his words, Matthew shot a cold look at Tiffany before continuing with his work.
“Grandma did agree to it.”
As she smiled, she could finally set her nervousness aside. The appearance of Veronica earlier hadmade her feel a sense of great danger.
Elizabeth treated Veronica well in the past because she had been pregnant with Matthew’s child.Although Veronica eventually suffered from a miscarriage, Elizabeth actually wanted to adopt her asher god-granddaughter!
What methods did that wench use to make the entire Kings Family fall for her so badly? The mostimportant thing was that it was that long since the engagement between Tiffany and Matthew. Will sheinterfere and ruin our marriage at that time?
“Okay, then.” Matthew gave a curt reply in agreement.
Tiffany was elated as she looked at Rachel from an angle. With a genuine smile, she could finally calmher racing heart.
“You should stay here and take good care of Old Mrs. Kings then. I’ll send someone over tonight todeliver some clothes to you.” Tapping on her shoulders, Rachel hinted at Tiffany to make full use of thetime that she would be spending with Matthew alone.
“Thanks, Mom.”
“I’ll be leaving first.”
Carrying her bag, Rachel left in her heels after bidding her farewell. After exiting the hospital, she calledFloch to ask him to hurry home as she drove. After half an hour, the couple arrived at Dragon’s Creekvilla at the same time.
“What happened? Why did you call me back in such a hurry?” After getting out of the car, Floch walkedto Rachel as he removed his coat.
“What else could happen? That little wench, Veronica, is up to no good again.”
“What did she do this time?”
“What did she do, you say? It would be easy if it were something that she did of her own accord. Now,she’s Elizabeth’s god-daughter, meaning that she’s considered part of the Kings Family now. Tell me,how is that brat so lucky?” At this point, Rachel, who was so livid, threw the bag at Floch and mumbled,“I should’ve killed her back then if I knew that she would be a pain in the *ss.”
Casting aside that Veronica already knew that they were the ones who hired goons to run her parentsover, the mere fact that Veronica was Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter meant that Tiffany would onlysuffer as soon as she married into the Kings Family.
