Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Perceiving Xavier’s worry, Veronica pondered for a moment and said to Xavier in a serious manner as her smile vanished, “Trust me, Xavier. What you’re thinking of right now, I’ve thought it through already.”|

“What do you mean?”

Xavier was perplexed, but following that, his eyes glistened all of a sudden. “Did you do that deliberately?”

Veronica smiled confidently and nodded. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang. She fished out the phone and glanced at the caller ID. “I’m going to answer the call,” she said to Xavier.

Veronica walked to the side holding her phone. Then, Matthew’s voice came forth from the other end of the line. “Do you think that you can run away after sending your parents back to their hometown?”

After Veronica injured Tiffany in the western restaurant the other day, Matthew carried Tiffany and left. The next day, upon knowing Veronica left with her parents, Matthew called her a couple of times but she did not pick up. It was only until today, the third day, did she answer his call. If she still did not answer his call, Matthew was seriously going to send Thomas to catch her.

“I’ll go to the hospital to settle the discharge procedure later,” Veronica said.

“I’ve already paid the outstanding medical balances for you. Show up at Twilight Club in half an hour; otherwise, I’ll charge you interest according to the highest market rate.”

“Ma-“Beep... Beep...

Veronica still wanted to say something, but Matthew already hung up, leaving her gnashing her teeth in anger. After keeping away her phone, she turned to walk to Xavier and said apologetically, “Since you’re already here, can you send me back? I still have some matters to attend to in the afternoon, but I’ll buy you lunch tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Xavier thought Veronica was going to handle some matters regarding the Larson Family, so he did not continue asking.

Alier Veronica got out of the car upon arriving at Regalia Condominiurn, Xavier exhorted her again, “I don’t care what plans you have, but please be careful around the Larsons. They’re not kind people.”

Veronica smiled and was genuinely grateful to Xavier. “Thanks.”

In Bloomstcad–a depressing land, only Xavier’s existence could make Veronica feel some warmth.

After Xavier left, Veronica went home to shower and put on a disguise before heading to the basement car park of Twilight Club with her motorcycle.

Thomas was already waiting for her for a while. Seeing Veronica’s arrival, Thomas scanned his card in the private lift to send her to Matthew’s private condominium on the 38th floor.

However, the moment she walked into the condominium, she saw two provocatively dressed women walking toward her. They had a flustered look with their hair disheveled.

Seeing two beautiful women walking out pitifully with tears in their eyes, Veronica widened her eyes in disbelief. What?! A threesome? Tsk! This jerk sure has no bottom line. Isn‘t he worried that his body won‘t be able to take such a rough course?

Just as she was hesitating whether she should go in or not, Matthew’s voice emerged from the inside. “Why are you standing there?”

Hearing that, Veronica walked into the living room to see Matthew sitting on the couch with a serious look, which made him seem to be a gentleman. Hypocrite!

“What’s the matter, Young Master Matthew?” Veronica stood directly in front of Matthew with only a tea table separating them apart.

“How dare you ignore my calls?” Looking fierce, Matthew questioned in a self righteous manner.

“If you’re only calling me for the sake of my father’s hospital costs, please don’t worry. Please give me an account number now and I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”

“You managed to raise 2 million in such a short time?”

With his eyes filled with coldness, Matthew crossed his legs and placed both of his arms on the back of the couch.

“This is my private matter and has got nothing to do with you.” Veronica wore a straight face.

“This has nothing to do with me?”

Struck by the comment, Matthew stood up slowly and walked up to Veronica. He then looked down at the speckled, slightly tanned face, which was obviously ugly, but he actually did not detest the appearance at all–especially her pair of alluring eyes, which looked as if there was an entire galaxy hidden in it.

At this moment, the two were standing extremely close to each other. Smelling the faint fragrance from Veronica, Matthew instinctively recalled the scene of their intimate moment. For some reason, he felt his blood rush as his body heated up.

Matthew clearly perceived the biological reaction of himself. Because of that, he was actually annoyed. That night in the hospital, he was not even stirred up when Tiffany took the initiative role. After that night, Matthew was more depressed as he thought about it, so he found a few women to test it out.

In fact, he had tested with a dozen women of different styles-sexy, elegant, and girly. However, none of those women could arouse his interest, and for a moment, Matthew even thought it was his own problem.

That was the reason why he called Veronica. Now that she was standing in front of him, his biological reaction had already proved everything!

Nevertheless, Matthew was actually furious to discover this sudden truth. Narrowing his frigid eyes, he reached out his hand to seize Veronica’s cheeks and lifted her face. “You’re not beautiful at all, but you’re actually skillful in seducing men.”

As he said that, Matthew drew closer to Veronica and met her eyes. “So how exactly did you please Xavier that he’s willing to spend so much money on you, huh?”

Xavier was a well-known playboy in Bloomstead who was always surrounded by countless women, but Veronica managed to catch his eye, so Matthew thought this woman was quite capable.

Facing Matthew’s humiliation, Veronica was enraged but did not dare to provoke him, so she smiled nonchalantly and said, “I guess he’s easier to please than you, Young Master Matthew. After all, you’re someone who can’t even be satisfied with two women.”

She sighed and continued, “Young Master Matthew, you should be more gentle with a fragile woman like Tiffany. I’m worried her body might break if you’re too rough…

Min—”

Veronica’s sharp words had hit Matthew’s bottom line. The latter was so angry that he pressed his lips against Veronica’s and bit her lip so that she would shut up.

The next second, Veronica could sense a bloody smell in her cavity.

“Matthew Kings, you—”

She shoved Matthew, who then took a step backward but quickly kissed her again. This time, he turned her body around and pressed her onto the couch. The weight of the two made the cushion of the couch sink in slightly.

As their teeth came into contact, Matthew bit Veronica’s lips again, making them bleed more. Enraged, Veronica flipped around forcefully, causing the both of them to fall onto the soft Persian rug.

At this moment, Matthew was on top of Veronica. It was such an awkward posture, but Veronica was so engulfed by anger that she did not notice that at all but scowled furiously. “Mind your behavior, Matthew Kings! If you provoke me, I’ll drag you with me to your death!”

Both Veronica and Matthew were so pissed off that they did not even realize what was going on. At that very moment, the latter kissed the former again.

At once, Veronica stood up in aggrievance, took out a debit card from her bag, and slammed it on the tea table. “There’s 2.4 million here. Take the extra as the interest. I’ve cleared my debts, so goodbye!” she snarled.

With that, Veronica took her bag and left without turning back. When closing the door, she exerted such great force that it felt like the entire living room shook.

Sitting on the Persian rug, Matthew leaned lazily against the couch as he saw her left. Then, he wiped his lips with his thumb and sank into deep thoughts as he stared at the bloodstain on his thumb. He kissed her?!

After a while, he lit up a cigarette and looked up at the debit card. Thereafter, he took out his phone and called Thomas. “Look into the transaction history of this card.” He clicked into WhatsApp and took a picture of the card to send it to Thomas.
