Chapter 45

Her pretentiousness made Veronica feel sick to thic core.

As she pursed her lips and had an emotionless face, she brushed her hand away. “You’ll have to ask Matt…” After glancing at Matthew from an angle, she continued, “You’ll have to ask my brother… when he will marry you.”

At that moment, not only was Veronica disgusted by Tillany, she also simultaneously was disgusted with herself for addressing Matthew as her brother.1

It was evident those words had hurt Tiffany as her mesmerizingly beautiful face wore a terrifying expression.

Rachel, who was watching by the side, did not manisest her anger outwardly. With a look of a noble lady, she calmly stated, “The engagement was only recently decided, so there’s no rush to get married.”

“Yes, Mom’s right,” Tiffany gracefully retorted. At that moment, her facade was nearly broken under Veronica’s constant cynicism. To maintain her image in front of Matthew, Tiffany could only say, “I’m going to visit Grandma with Mom now. We’ll talk later.” After that, she hinted at Rachel with her gaze before they both entered the ward.

Only Matthew and Veronica were left outside the small living room of the ward. Raising his eyebrow, he looked 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 placed it in front of him. “Please pay for the bill first.” After all, they had agreed on the prepaid wage of 10,000 per 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 to discover it was a call from Xavier. Then, she suddenly realized that this was supposed to be her first day of work at Xavier’s company.
