Veronica walked to the park‘s entrance and asked the passersby if they had seen Elizabeth while
waiting for Matthew, but her efforts were to no avail.
Around ten minutes later, a sedan car sped to the park like a flash of lightning. Then the car came to a
halt in front of Veronica.
After getting out of the car, Matthew walked up to Veronica with a solemn face and questioned, “What‘s
going on exactly?”
“Grandma asked me out to the park and chatted a lot with me. She even told me about her Alzheimer‘s
disease. She said she has been talking for quite some time, so I wanted to buy some water for her, but
she disappeared when I came back.”
Veronica was extremely anxious. “I‘ve asked many passersby in the park, but none has seen Grandma.
All I found was her phone.”
While explaining, she passed the smartphone in her hand to Matthew.
Matthew took over the phone while maintaining a cool face despite seeing Veronica‘s guilt–stricken and
worried look. “You don‘t have to look for Grandma. Just leave.”
With that, Matthew turned to get into the car with the phone in his hand and closed the car door with a
bang.
Meanwhile, Veronica was startled for a moment as she stood on the spot while watching Matthew leave
in his car.
The way he treated her was overly hostile.Ha! Is he giving me a cold shoulder because he thinks I have no utility value? How can one be this
realistic?
Veronica gazed at Matthew‘s car until it disappeared from her sight.
She knew Matthew would definitely use all his power to search for Elizabeth, but she was still worried.
So, she continued searching for Elizabeth nearby.
However, it was like looking for a needle in the haystack to find someone among a sea of people.
In between, Veronica called Matthew again and sent him some voice messages. But
Matthew did not answer her calls.
Then, she decided to call Elizabeth‘s phone, but the result was the same—no one picked up
novelbinAs such, Veronica figured that he would most likely still be looking for Elizabeth.
For the entire day, Veronica went to all the nearby places and searched for Elizabeth crazily. It was only
until the night had fallen did she sit on a bench at the roadside wearily after going around for the whole
day.
While resting on the bench, Veronica called Matthew again. The line was connected, but no one
answered the call.
Just as the call was about to hang up automatically, the other end finally picked up the call.
“Why didn‘t you answer my calls? Did you manage to find Grandma?” Veronica asked anxiously.
However, it was Thomas‘ voice that emerged from the other end of the line. “Miss Murphy, we already
found Old Madam Kings this morning.”“You‘ve found her this morning? Why didn‘t you tell me then?! Do you know 1–”
Veronica threw a fit upon hearing Thomas‘ response, so she raised her voice and was almost about to
curse.
However, Thomas interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. “Young Master Matthew
requested you to not call anymore from now on.”
Veronica, who was originally speaking, clammed up at once and was stunned for a few seconds before
regaining her composure.
So, they actually found the old lady in the morning, but Matthew did not even want to pick up my calls
because I pose no value to him now. I see!
Veronica‘s anger from a moment ago was extinguished by this cold fact as her heart sank. The rage
she felt earlier no longer existed but what was left was inexpressible sarcasm.
“I see. Since that‘s the case, I‘ll hang up now.”
After ending the call, Veronica stared at the bottle of water in her hand which was
almost empty, and she felt a sense of humiliation welling in her heart.
She gripped the plastic bottle tightly which let out an ear–piercing crushing noise, but it sounded more
like a ruthless sneer to her.
Veronica lifted her head to see the cloudy sky where stars could not be seen.
At that moment, she was so exhausted that she sat on the bench for a very long time. It was until
something fell on her cheeks only did she regain her composure and realized it had started raining.Then, Veronica switched on her phone screen, unlocked it, and blocked both Matthew and Thomas‘
contact before walking home in weariness.
There were very few streetlights along the road. The dim light fell on her and formed a long shadow,
which made her seem extraordinarily lonely and pitiful.
Veronica strolled along the street in depression, but when she lifted her head after walking for some
distance, she realized that she had arrived at the lift of Twilight Club‘s basement two.
Just as she habitually stretched out her finger to press the lift button, she paused for a second and
quickly pulled her hand back upon a sudden realization.
That was close. Habits really can ruin ones‘ life.
Feeling her heart being squeezed, Veronica was extremely glum as she felt she was idiotic and stupid.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of a car door closing snapped her out of her daze.
Veronica turned around to see Thomas and Matthew getting down from the car while starting to walk
toward her direction. When their gazes fell on her, Veronica‘s eyes glistened with an unnatural
expression.
Nevertheless, she immediately adjusted her emotions and dismissed the awkward look on her face.
Then, she took out a lift access card from her pocket and said to Matthew who was standing 10 feet
away. “I‘m here to return the list access card to you lest you blame me again when something in your
house goes missing.”
Looking at Matthew‘s cold and gloomy countenance, Veronica snorted sofily and pretended to be calm
as she let out a sarcastic laugh.However, Matthew merely darted a hostile glance at her, walked past her directly, and left.
As usual, he was dressed in a trim suit. One of his hands was placed in the slack‘s pocket, and his
slightly bent elbow knocked the lift access card out of Veronica‘s hand. when he walked past her.
With that, the two brushed past each other.
Veronica‘s face, which had a fake smile plastered on it, gradually became stiff as her gaze followed the
card which fell onto the floor.
Everything seemed to have happened in slow motion, placing her in an embarrassed yet inescapable
situation.
Thomas, who was following behind Matthew, noticed Veronica‘s expression, so he went forward to pick
up the access card and said, “Miss Murphy, pass me the card please.”
Veronica quickly regained her composure and nodded with a smile. “Sure. Please keep it well and don‘t
blame me if it goes missing.”
While she replied at a fast pace with a forced smile on her face, it seemed as if she was unaffected at
all, and one would actually feel like she was a heartless woman.
When Veronica strode forward and walked past Thomas, she patted his shoulder and said, “I‘m
leaving, buddy. See you.”
“Take care, Miss Murphy. Have a safe journey.”
Although Thomas did not understand what exactly happened between Matthew and Veronica, he did
not detest the latter. In fact, he was rather impressed by her carefree and genuine attitude.Meanwhile, Veronica hummed songs as she walked away. “Hey Jude, don‘t make it bad. Take a sad
song and make it better…”
Meanwhile, in the lift, Matthew stared at Veronica with his dull, gloomy eyes as she walked away. His
eyes turned cold when he saw her walking with a spring in her step while humming songs—it looked as
if she was in a very good mood.
She‘s actually happy about leaving Twilight Condominium? Ding
The lift door slowly closed, interrupting Matthew‘s sight.
On the other hand, Veronica, who had not walked too far away, stopped her cheerful steps the moment
she heard the sound from the lift. Even the smile on her face and her joyful singing faded immediately.
At that instant, she felt like all her energy was sucked out of her, and she looked like a . wilted flower.
