Elizabeth then hung up after she heard a yes from Veronica. “Stop the car!” Veronica shouted after ending the call. Glaring at her, Matthew reached out his hand and grabbed her by her jaw before turning her face toward himself. “What? Think you’re somebody now just because you have Grandma’s support?”

“It’s not that.” She shoved his hand away and dropped her gratifying act. “Although you’re rich and good-looking, Matthew, not every woman is dying to be married to you, so you don’t have to be so smug all the time.

Having worked for Matthew for many years, he was well aware of how he thought. He understood that Matthew was worried Veronica might look for another man or seek any kind of measure to impregnate herself within the following two months. … And so, for one and a half months,

After ending the call, she nervously stared at Floch and Tiffany who were sitting on the couch, anxiously stating, “A private investigator hired by Veronica found the driver in the accident. Do you think she has figured out that we were behind it?” “What? How did Veronica find him? Didn’t you say we recruited someone trustable?” Tiffany visibly panicked. As the matter would affect
