The Life Of A Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 125

In a moment of desperation, Veronica put out her right hand to shove Matthew away, only to gasp in pai n as she shoved him too hard. “Hiss... Ouch…”

Sensing that something was wrong, Matthew let go of her and switched on the movie room‘s lights right away. Only then did he notice that Veronica‘s sleeve had been stained with blood. In an instant, his fac e darkened with a frown, and he looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes. “Sorry.”

Veronica was somewhat startled by Matthew‘s unsolicited apology. She never expected that the man w ho considered himself superior to everyone else would take the initiative to apologize to her one day. H owever, before she could come to her senses, the man had turned off the screen mirroring on his cell p hone, turning off the video that was inappropriate for kids. Then, he took her hand, saying, “Come on. Let me bandage your wound.”

Peeved, Veronica shook off his hand right away. “I‘ll treat my wound myself.“. Storming barefoot out of t he movie room in a huff, she found the first–aid kit in the living room and began to treat her lacerated wound.

Walking out of the movie room, Matthew felt guilty when he saw Veronica sitting on the sofa and clumsi ly untying the bandage around her right arm with her left hand. Coming to her side, he sat down, held h er right arm, and helped her untie the bandage around it.

Veronica struggled. “I‘ll do it myself. Just let go,”

However, Matthew chided softly, “Don‘t move!”

Immediately, Veronica fell silent, letting the man wipe the blood off her wound before he applied medicine to the wound and bandaged the wound deftly at one go. During the entire process, sh

e silently watched the man, who was completely absorbed in what he was doing. It wasn‘t until he finished bandaging her wound that sh e said, “It‘s getting late. I‘m going to sleep.” With that, she stood up, returned to her room angrily, and sl ammed the door shut with a loud bang,

Sitting on the sofa, Matthew clutched the bandage in his hand while gazing at the tightly closed door, hi s feelings incredibly mixed.

Instead of coming out to watch TV as before, Veronica lay in the bedroom the whole time tonight.

The next day, Mauhew got out of bed and made porridge for Veronica as usual, but he didn‘t see her co ming out even at 7:00AM. He went and knocked on the door to her bedroom, but no one answered the door.

He pushed the door open, only to be surprised to find that the bedroom was empty. She was gone.

Standing at the door, the man was startled for a moment. Then, he took out his phone to call Veronica. She didn‘t answer the phone when he called her the first time; it wasn‘t until he called her the second time that she answered the phone and asked, “Anything?”

“Where are you?”

“Starting from today, I‘ll never go back to Twilight Condominium, nor do you have to worry about where I am. Goodbye.” Veronica hung up right away without saying another word to Matthew. At first, she had thought that Matthew would restrain himself after Elizabeth had acknowledged her as her god– granddaughter. However, it turned out that she had overestimated the man, who was even worse than a beast. In order to avoid losing her chastity again, she chose to rent an apartment outside.

That morning, Veronica asked Xavier for a day off and found a small one– bedroom apartment online with a monthly rent of 2,000. She spent the morning renting the apartment f or a year and buying daily supplies, using up most of the money Melissa had wired to her.

It was already 10:00AM when everything was done. Exhausted, she lay down on the living room sofa w earily without moving for a long time.

Ring! Just then, her cell phone rang on the table. She darted a look at the phone‘s screen, which show ed an incoming call from an unfamiliar phone number. She picked up the phone and answered the call, saying, “Hello. Who is this?”

“Hi, is Veronica speaking?” A woman‘s voice that sounded somewhat familiar spoke on the other end of the line.

“Yes, it‘s me.”

“Phew… That‘s great. I found you at last. Veronica, it‘s me, Yvonne. Where are you? I‘m in Bloomstead right now.”

“Uh..” Veronica had never gotten in touch with Yvonne again since they parted ways last time. She got t o know Yvonne by accident after hiding in the latter‘s car and getting kidnapped abroad with her for no reason last time. However, she di dn‘!

intend to be dose friends with Yvonne, whose identity and background she found 100 mysterious and u nfathomable. Giving Yvonne a nearby address, she said, “I‘m at Jazz Crumbs Cafe on Pines Street.”

“Okay. Just wait for me. I‘ll be there right away,” Yvonne said before hanging up.

On the other hand, Veronica got up and spruced herself up. After leaving the neighborhood through the back entrance, she arrived at Jazz Crumbs Cafe on Pines Street. Then, she ordered a cup of coffee w hile waiting for Yvonne on the second floor at the seat by the window.

20 minutes later, Yvonne showed up before Veronica. Dressed in her usual style, she wore a waisted, ir regular white vertical– striped suit, which was matched with a belt, a pair of black pants, and high heels. Her long hair hung lo ose over her shoulders, making her look as intelligent and poised as a capable elite woman. She wave d to Veronica, saying, “Hi there! It‘s been a while since we last saw each other.”

Veronica picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip from it. Looking at Yvonne with a puzzled look in he r eyes, she asked, “What makes you think of contacting me all of a sudden?”

“Well, I just returned from overseas, didn‘t I? Just give me a minute while I order a cup of coffee first. I‘ m quite thirsty,” Yvonne said while waving to the waiter. “Waiter, give me a cup of latte, please.”

“Since we‘ve met again, I should return your necklace to you.” Veronica took off the necklace Yvonne h ad previously exchanged for hers before placing it on the table. “This is yours,” she said while pointing at the necklace Yvonne was wearing. “Give it back to me.”

“Are you serious, Veronica?” Yvonne covered her neck with her hand. “How can you take back somethin me as a present?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Luckily, Veronica‘s background wasn‘t complicated except for her relationship with the Larsons. Otherwi

Veronica looked skeptical, though. “Who was the one that kidnapped you?” One could tell at a glance th

could hire mercenaries.

“Can I… keep it a secret?” Yvonne asked.

Veronica didn‘t say a word, but she shook her head.

Seeing Veronica‘s response, Yvonne felt somewhat helpless. She took a business card out of her pocket and handed it to Veronica.

Veronica took the business card and read the information on it, mumbling, “The president of Honeycloud end products with extremely high quality. Even those special cosmetics that Veronica had bought were f

Veronica hesitated. After taking a look at Yvonne, she reached out her left hand and rubbed her index fin
