Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 263 Break Up

Veronica could make her own decisions.

On the contrary, Ivana saw Veronica’s brows slightly raised thoughtfully as if not wanting to take the offer, so Ivana quickly suggested, “If you don’t want to, I can…”

Increase the offer!

However, before she could finish her sentence, Veronica interrupted her immediately, “Of course, I’ll take it! Why wouldn’t I? Let’s do it! Do you have the contract? Let’s sign the contract now.”

Veronica was afraid that if she did not sign the contract now, 45 thousand dollars would be gone.

Ivana was taken aback for a moment.

As expected, no one could beat an experienced businesswoman.

Her boss was worthy of her title. How did she manage to predict Veronica’s reaction so accurately?

She said that Veronica would accept the 45-thousand dollar deal, and she was actually right!

“You’re agreeing to 45 thousand dollars only?! Are you dumb, Veronica? If their company wants you to endorse their products, that must mean they have taken a fancy to you. Raise the price, dummy!”

Yvonne, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, thought Veronica was too humble.

“Can you increase the offer?”

The reason why Veronica did not negotiate with Ivana was that she knew it was reasonable for someone who had never done a show in public to be offered a 7000-dollar appearance fee and a 45

thousand-dollar endorsement.

Listening to Yvonne’s words at this moment made sense.

“It should be… alright.” Ivan replied reluctantly before inquiring, “How much would you like?”

The reason why she was so reluctant was that she was not sure how much of a raise would be appropriate for Veronica.

If she increased too much, Ivana was afraid that Veronica would continue increasing the price and make demands; if she increased a small amount, she was afraid that she would seem stingy.

“At least another 75 thousand!” Yvonne gestured a seven on one hand and a five on the other while glancing at Matthew, who was sitting in the corner, and gave Ivana a look.

She seemed to be saying, Veronica is a part of the Kings Family now. Do you think they will agree with 45 thousand?

“45 thousand is a deal. Let’s just go with that.”

After Yvonne finished speaking, Veronica immediately spoke.

She saw how Yvonne gave Ivana a hint with her eyes just now.

The last thing Veronica wanted now was to be tied to Matthew all the time because that would make people doubt her ability.

Encounters Bridal Store was a great example.

Although the source of customers was mainly from the Kings Family, she also put in a lot of effort.

She had spent countless days and nights planning with the team, handing over the most satisfactory responses to customers, and organizing their working timetables. Did that mean she had no personal strengths at all?

“Veronica, you must be insane…”

“I’m quite exhausted. I think I want to take a nap. You guys should head home now. It’s getting late.”

Veronica did not want to hear Yvonne continue with that matter anymore.

Hearing that, Yvonne felt helpless and left the ward with Ivana.

After they left, Veronica lay in bed and fell into deep thought.

At first, she was willing to be the god-granddaughter of Elizabeth because she needed the power of the Kings Family to protect herself, but she never thought that this power would backfire and bring about a series of consequences.

She could not help but wonder if her decision back then was right.

“What are you thinking about?”

Matthew came over to her side, and when he noticed her staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, he knew that she had something on her mind.

“Nothing.”

Veronica shook her head and urged, “You should hurry up and leave as well.”

It sounded like an order to kick him out.

Veronica intended to distance herself from him time and time again. Matthew, too, could feel Veronica pushing him away.

His heart sank, making him a little anxious for some reason.

“Do you really hate me so much?”

Matthew recalled a sentence in the book Flirting 101 which read:

When a woman is behaving indifferently to you, you may ask her directly if she hates you. This is a test to her mind.

For Matthew, who had no experience in love, it was worth giving it a try.

Hearing his question, Veronica was inexplicably startled. She raised her eyelids and looked at Matthew, who was standing straight, with her beautiful and glossy eyes. At that moment, her heart struggled to find an answer.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, each having their own thoughts in mind.

At first, Veronica intended to protect herself in the name of the Kings Family, and her goal had been achieved.

Now that many people knew that she was Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter, they would not act rashly toward her. Therefore, it was better to distance her relationship with Matthew and cut off any thoughts he had about her.

“Do you know what merits do not offset demerits mean?” she asked. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Matthew frowned slightly, puzzled.

However, Veronica’s abrupt and serious expression made his heart twitch, and a bad premonition arose all of a sudden.

Eventually, she spoke up again, “I’m grateful that you saved me many times before, but even so, it doesn’t change the fact that you have forcibly had sex with me many times, and you even forced me to do it on the day you got engaged to your fiancée. You also can’t erase the fact that you killed the child in my womb.”

Veronica spat all the nasty words without beating around the bush in order for Matthew to completely give up on her.

She then added, “Back when I stayed in Twilight Condominium, you gave me so-called ‘sleeping pills’ and did some unforgivable and awful things to me. Even if I wasn’t the one who suffered from your despicable acts, anyone else wouldn’t have easily forgiven you for that!”

Before Veronica knew she had insomnia, she thought that the sleeping pills in Twilight Apartment were given by Matthew to her, but later, she realized that it was a misunderstanding.

Now, this misunderstanding could be turned into a sharp blade in severing the relationship between the two.

Veronica’s every word was like a dagger stabbing into Matthew’s heart. The choking feeling that suddenly arose in his chest made him furious yet helpless, but eventually, he endured it silently.

“Oh, right. I also forgot to tell you that the reason why I agreed to be Grandma’s god-granddaughter is not that I adore her or anything, but because I wanted to use her love for me as protection. You saw it too. Now that everyone knows that I am Grandma’s god-granddaughter, they bow down to me and treat me like royalty. Even a simple catwalk can drive sales and get me endorsements. Speaking of which, these are all given to me by your family.”

When Veronica said that, there was a slight smirk on her delicate face. “But you know what? These are what you owe me! Don’t expect me to forgive you even though my status as the god-granddaughter of the Kings Family has brought me a lot of benefits. They can only be considered as compensation for me not calling the police after I was raped. Listen up…”

She paused deliberately and declared solemnly, “Rapists never deserve to be forgiven!”

Every enunciation of her words was heart-wrenching to Matthew!

To be frank, only half of her words were true.

She did rely on the power of the Kings Family, but she also liked Elizabeth.

She was grateful to Matthew for saving her many times, but she also hated Matthew’s despicable methods against her at the beginning.

Although Veronica always greeted people with a smile on her face, she had a bruised heart hidden under the mask of pretentiousness.

Her wounds would take a lifetime to heal.

These words were intended to be hidden deep in the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, however, the look Yvonne gave to Ivan today became the last straw that crushed Veronica’s spiritual support. She, who had always been headstrong, did not want her efforts to be in vain because of the support she gained from the Kings. That was why these words were spat in the most ruthless way, deeply stinging Matthew’s heart.

It was equivalent to executing him psychologically and cutting off the possibility of mending the relationship between the two!
