Chapter 150

Veronica was endlessly, unceasingly cursing Matthew on the inside, and if looks really could kill, he would have been dead by Veronica‘s gaze.

“It is theft as long as you take something that isn‘t yours,” Matthew responded humorously. “I have known you for so long to only find out now that you don‘t know the law,” Matthew spoke slowly in a calm manner and he didn‘t seem to be
