Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 83

At this point, Veronica walked up to Tiffany. Lifting her hands, the former wrapped them around Tiffany‘s neck and pinned her to the wall. “Also, if any of you touch my parents again, I‘ll make sure to bring you to the grave with me when I die!” Veronica hissed.

Recently, for reasons beyond her control, Veronica had been forced to play nice with Floch and Rachel in front of the Kings Family, but that didn‘t mean she got along with her enemy now.

“Ugh!” Caught off– guard by Veronica‘s sudden actions, Tiffany could only feel the pain in her neck and the lack of airflow thr ough her lungs. “L–Let go of me… Let go…”

She struggled and tried to resist to the best of her ability, but found that her strength was no match for Ve ronica‘s.

Suddenly, Tiffany was terrified, as she was realizing only now that she had underestimated Veronica‘s ab ilities.

“Let go of you? Of course I‘ll let you go. But —” Veronica patted Tiffany‘s cheek warningly with her free hand as she murmured, “– you‘d best deliver my message. And by the way, I am now Elizabeth Kings‘ god– granddaughter. So, step out of line again, and I‘ll make sure that you never marry into the Kings Family.” With that, she suddenly let go.

Instantly, air rushed back into Tiffany‘s lungs and she took deep breaths as she held onto her neck. At that moment, she felt hurt, pained and furious as she thought to herself, How is it that I can never outmatch Veronica?!

Weakly, Tiffany leaned against the wall and glared at Veronica with red– rimmed eyes. “Don‘t get too complacent. I‘ll get my payback.”

“Let‘s see who wins, then!” Veronica sneered before turning to leave.

Instantly, the smile on her face vanished, only to be replaced with a cold, sinister expression.

While she was, in fact, no actual threat to the Larsons, she would never admit defeat.

Even if she didn‘t succeed this time, there would always be a next time.

As long as she was still alive, she would make life hell for them.

Once Veronica returned to the table, she found Matthew to be aloof, so she sai down and began chatting with Xavier, completely ignoring the other man.

What she didn‘t notice was Matthew‘s expression darkening.

At that moment, Tiffany returned, sitting down opposite Matthew and keeping silent, all the while acting a s if nothing had happened.

After they were done eating, they paid, with Matthew footing the bill.

Upon bidding the other two goodbye, Xavier and Veronica left.

.

Outside the restaurant, Xavier drove up to Veronica in his car. He then left the driver‘s seat to open the d oor for her.

At that, Veronica couldn‘t help laughing. “Oh– Xavier. Surely you‘re too chivalrous,” she teased as she got into the car.

After shutting the door, Xavier looked back at Matthew with a raise of the eyebrows, as if showing off, before getting back into the car and driving off.

Although Tiffany was extremely jealous to discover that Matthew was watching the car leave, she didn‘t d are say as much. “Let‘s leave as well, Matthew.”

In the afternoon, Veronica went back to work with Xavier, whereupon she took until 6 PM to familiarize he rself with the workflow of the company.

Upon leaving the restaurant after they ate dinner together, he told her that he wanted to send her home.

However, Veronica hailed a cab instead and waved goodbye to Xavier. “It‘s okay; I‘ll go back by myself a nd see you at work tomorrow. You‘ve been working very hard lately, so make sure to go home and get some rest!”

“Alright, then. Goodnight.” He waved back.

After she shut the car door, the cab slowly pulled away and headed off into the distance. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Half an hour later, it stopped outside the Twilight Club, whereupon Veronica took the dedicated elevator u p to Matthew‘s penthouse on the top floor.

However, when she entered the penthouse, it was inky dark inside and nothing was visible.

Thinking nothing of it, she moved to turn on the lights, but before she could touch the light switch, someone pulled her into their arms and pre ssed her against the wall before leaning over her to kiss her.

“Mmf–who are you?” she shouted, but the words came out mumbled as her mouth was blocked.

The kiss was crazed and heated, and the person made use of the opportunity where she parted her lips t o speak. Her kisser pried open her mouth to suck on her tongue and savor the taste of her mouth.

Even through the heavy scent of alcohol, Veronica could smell a familiar musk that immediately let her k now it was Matthew..

So, she shoved him away and shouted, “Are you crazy?” –

After being shoved away, she heard him stagger for a bit before a loud thud echoed around the penthous e, much to her bewilderment.

Immediately, Veronica turned on the lights, only to see him flat on the ground.

Startled, she paused. What on earth happened?

Walking up to him and looking at him lying unmoving on the ground, she lifted a foot to kick him. “Hey. W ake up, Matthew. Wake up!”

There was no response, even after the shout.

Only then did she squat down and gently pat his cheek. “Are you okay? Wake up!”

Yet, Matthew would not wake up. If anything, there was only the audible sound of his breathing

Upon hearing that, Veronica pouted. “What the hell? Is he drunk? Why would he drink so much?” she as ked herself in exasperation.

Having no other choice, she leaned down and threw his arm around her neck. Using all her strength, she helped him up before dragging him into the master bedroom and depositing him on the bed.

However, because Matthew was too heavy, Veronica tumbled headfirst into the mattress as she was throw

Lying on the mattress, she exhaled deeply before sitting up and helping him remove his shoes. After that,

However, before Veronica left the room, she grumbled to herself, “Why the f*ck would he drink so much if

She assumed Matthew must have mistaken her for Tiffany because of how much he drank.

After all, he didn‘t dare touch her now that Elizabeth had explicitly ordered him not

Upon leaving the master bedroom, Veronica went into the second bedroom to wash up and change her cl

A few hours later, Matthew woke up from his sleep and went into the bathroom to wash up before changin

The moment he opened the door, he found Veronica frantically clicking on the computer mouse, shouting, “Are you stupid? Why would you come all the way over here just to get killed? Do you even know what you‘re doing? Take the tower down, quick!”

Currently, she was engrossed in gaming, but because the desk was right in the middle of the room, she o

Only then did she realize Matthew had entered. Quickly, she pulled off her headphones before asking. “Yo

As she spoke, she continued to play the game.

Lifting his head to look at the clock on the wall, he asked in a low voice, “Why are you still awake?”

It was already 2 AM, yet Veronica was still gaming.

“Destroy it! Quick, now build it up. Yes! We won!”

Only after she finished the combat round and looked through the records did she end the session and stand up. “I‘ve fini

Matthew‘s eyes glittered and he nodded.“Mmhmm.”

“Don‘t let me keep you, then.” She logged out of her gaming account before giving him her seat. “Do your drunk?”

Once again, his eyes flashed and he pinched the bridge of his nose. “My head hurts.”
