Chapter 69

Indeed, Matthew had said that the previous evening, but he had been lying.

Now that he changed his mind, he corrected, “You remembered wrongly.”

“Remembered wrongly?” Carefully, Veronica thought about it. Indeed, she could recall now that there had been more than one bed at his penthouse when she was kidnapped.

At this moment, she was penniless and had no money to rent a room. It was also unclear how the Larson Family felt about her right now, so it would be safer and more cost-efficient for her to stay at Matthew’s penthouse in Twilight Condominium.

“We would be a single man and a woman sharing an apartment. Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” she asked, her tone guarded.

As the elevator reached the second-floor basement, the doors opened and he walked out.

Immediately, she chased after him. “I’m kidding! Please don’t take it seriously. You’re my brother now. I trust your morals!”

Nonetheless, given the dire straits she was in, sleeping at the penthouse was her best option.

Moreover, she had Elizabeth to protect her. That was why Veronica trusted Matthew wouldn’t do anything to her.

Otherwise, she would castrate him personally!

After tugging on his arm and pulling the access card from his grip, she looked up at him. “If I have a place to stay, do I have food to eat as well?”

“This is what you wanted, Young Master Matthew-“Waiting at the second floor basement, Thomas had gone up to greet Matthew upon seeing him walk over, only to witness Veronica holding onto Matthew’s hand and skipping alongside him as she joked and laughed.

Both of them were acting intimate without the animosity from before, when they would be filled with murderous rage whenever they set eyes on each other.
