Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 497 Hendrey Has Been Kidnapped

Perhaps Veronica had exerted too much effort into her act and caused a big ruckus. Even Yvonne, who stood beside her, was startled, let alone the front desk beauty.

The pretty receptionist shuddered at Veronica’s hostile reaction and immediately explained. “Miss Murphy, I’m really sorry. This is an order from President Kings. If you—”

As she spoke, she started glancing around for help. When her gaze landed behind Veronica, she felt so relieved that she immediately pointed her finger in that direction. “Miss Murphy, President Kings is here. You can just find him if you have any issues.”

Veronica and Yvonne both turned their heads at where the receptionist had gestured. As expected, Matthew was dressed in a neatly pressed suit and had just entered the lobby with his special assistant, Thomas.

Yvonne felt anxiety overwhelming her as she grabbed Veronica and whispered, “Roni, c-can you help me talk to him? I-I’m scared.”

At the same time, Yvonne’s mind recalled how the receptionist refused to let them enter the building a while ago. The firm attitude shown by the front desk lady earlier proves that Matthew really hates Veronica.

When she realized that, she became even more anxious and worried. And if I don’t take my child and leave at this point, I’m afraid I may not have a chance again in the future.

Most importantly, Conny is seriously ill right now; I don’t know how much time he has left.

Sure enough, Veronica knew what Yvonne was worried about. Although Veronica wanted to press her to rethink her decision, she was well aware that Yvonne had made up her mind. Hence, she felt like it was pointless for her to say more.

“Okay.”

She nodded slightly and answered. Thus, she sauntered toward Matthew and stopped in front of him, rudely blocking his path. “Matthew, why are you avoiding me?”

Veronica directly questioned Matthew before everyone arrogantly.

Somehow, people felt Veronica was taking advantage of Matthew’s kindness after seeing her prideful demeanor.

In the meantime, Matthew hid his slightly clenched fists in his pants pockets, and his cold gaze fell on Veronica’s face.

He looked closer at her and found that the swelling on her cheeks had subsided. He also noticed the red marks caused by the slap had faded, making him secretly sigh with relief.

God knows how worried I was about her!
