Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 48

Chapter 48

She‘s in trouble?

As Matthew slightly frowned, his handsome face showed signs of concern; it looked like he was in deep
thought.

This change of emotion wasn’t only noticed by himself, though.

At that moment, Tiffany happened to walk out of the ward and saw at once that something seemed off
with him, so she asked, “Matthew, is there something wrong?”

Just as Matthew received news about Veronica, the Larsons had already informed Tiffany about their
plans.

Not even a few seconds after immersing herself in happiness, Tiffany overheard Matthew being on the
phone with someone.

Although it was vague, she knew it was likely to be something concerning Veronica.

That was the reason why she had gone out. Since she had a restless mind, she wanted to ask about
what happened.

Pacing around the living room, Matthew turned back and saw Tiffany before immediately hanging up on
his call.

“Why are you still awake at this ungodly hour?”

Keeping his phone away, he cast a distant gaze on her.



As there was an extra bed in the ward, Matthew had arranged for Tiffany to sleep on it while he would
spend the night on the living room’s couch.

“I.” After pursing her lips, she replied, “I could not sleep.”

“Oh.”

The moment he heard her answer, he only gave an uncaring response before staring into a random
space in the living room to immerse himself in his own thoughts.

His strange demeanor made the perplexed Tiffany ask with a frown, “Matthew, is everything alright?”

Her words snapped Matthew back to reality as he looked at her at an angle, “There’s something at the
company that I need to deal with: I’ll come back later.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Something at the company needs him? Tiffany, who did not believe an ounce of Matthew’s words,
knew that he was obviously concerned about Veronica, which made her deeply agitated by the blatant
lie.

To her knowledge, a man born with a golden spoon like Matthew never cared about lying to someone
else and neither would he care about someone else than Elizabeth. Yet, is
he actually going to find that wench and abandon the hospitalized Old Mrs. Kings now?

As Tiffany noticed that he was about to leave, she walked briskly and grabbed his wrists. “Matthew,
please don’t go. I’m scared.”

Her sweet and gentle voice sounded like music to one’s ears.



With a slight raise of her eyebrow, she stepped forward and tightly embraced him with her head on
Matthew’s sculpted chest. “Could you stay with me for a moment?”

Her lovely charms would make anyone pity her on the spot.

However, in Matthew’s blindspot, Tiffany had a frosty gaze that emanated jealousy from
within. Veronica, you b*tch.
You can give up on the thought that Mattthew will be saving you! From today onward, the world will onl
y know of me, Tiffany Larson, and you will cease to exist!

As the most beautiful person in Bloomstead, she had always received innumerable acclaims of praise
and flattery on her talents in music, chess, arts and literature. All the compliments were the same-that
apart from looking heavenly, she also had the brains to compliment her looks.

Yet, it was because of Veronica’s appearance that she felt a great sense of danger now.

She would not allow some country bumpkin fresh from some village to look exactly like her. If Veronica
became the center of attention by any chance and Tiffany’s own dirty laundry was aired to the public, it
would only serve to completely destroy Tiffany’s image.

“I’ll let Thomas come and accompany you.”

Matthew did not like one bit that Tiffany hugged him of her accord to the point that the disgust in his
eyes could not be hidden.

2/5

Reaching out, he wanted to push her away, but who could have known that she had hugged him with
such force?



Shaking her head, Tiffany softly cajoled, “Matthew, I was reading about horror stories in a hospital two
days ago, which is why I’m so scared now. Dòn’t go, please?”

Her sweet tone was akin to a bell that rang into one’s consciousness.

In her heart was a brewing pot of hatred instead.

Nobody knew whether this hate was directed at Veronica or Matthew. Let Thomas accompany
me? You’re letting Thomas stand in for you just because you want to look for Veronica, right?

Now that she was being constantly pestered by Veronica, Tiffany could no longer maintain her image of
being wise and sensible in front of Matthew.

The annoyed man forcefully grabbed her arms and pushed her away. “I’ll let Thomas send you back!”

His icy words carried with it an unmistakable displeasure.

After stating his piece, Matthew walked out without sparing even a glance at Tiffany.

As her arms still hurt from his earlier grip, she took in a deep breath before shouting at him as she
watched him leaving, “Matthew? Matthew? Matthew!?”

However, no matter how she shouted, he still entered the elevator without even turning his head to
acknowledge her. His actions had only served to anger her so much that she stomped her foot in
response.

If it was at home, she could vent her anger without a care to her daddy and mommy, but now that she
was at the hospital, the person in the ward was Old Mrs. Kings. So, she could only swallow this anger
for now.

She had to swallow it for now.



After calming herself down for a few seconds, Tiffany took out her phone and went to the stairwell to tip
her parents off about the fact that Matthew would have gone in search of Veronica.

At that time, Matthew, who had already left the hospital, was on the road while he tried to contact
Veronica, but to no avail.

The only choice left was to call Xavier.

It took about only two beeps before the call connected:

“Where’s Veronica?”

After the call went through, Matthew immediately questioned Xavier without any greeting

A panicked Xavier was also driving in the direction of Regalia Condominium at the same time and
worried sick about Veronica. Yet, upon hearing that Matthew was also concerned about her wellbeing,
he began to feel a bit displeased.

Remembering the scene where Veronica nearly died after the miscarriage, Xavier could not hold
himself back and retorted, “Who are you to care for Veronica? It’s already eleven something now, so
Mr. Kings, you should be hugging your lovely wife to sleep if there’s nothing more to talk about.” |

This was also the first time that Matthew called Xavier.

Yet, Xavier was not one to flatter anybody, even if that person was Matthew.

“I’m asking you right now, where’s Veronica!?”

Although Matthew had repeated the same question, his tone was much more severe than before.

“Hmph.” With a slight sneer, Xavier taunted him, “I’ve nothing to say about that!”



An unruly playboy that feared no one.

That was who Xavier was. So, why would he fear Matthew?

After that, the man disconnected the call.

On the other side, the livid Matthew could only keep on driving on Somerset Road while he called
Thomas to ask him to investigate Veronica’s whereabouts.

The club manager had only told him earlier that the car that Veronica was in headed for Somerset
Road after it left.

So, Matthew could drive in that general direction.

After ten minutes, a call from Thomas came. “Sir, the car has gone to Regalia

Condominium.”

“Okay.”

With his foot on the throttle, Matthew drove at breakneck speed all the way to the condominium while
ordering Thomas, “Go to the hospital and send Tiffany home.”

“Yes, sir.”

After hanging up, Thomas immediately went to carry out the orders.

Yet, not long after the call, Thomas received another call which made his heart skip a beat. Following
that, he instantly called Matthew again.

“What’s up?” Matthew answered.



“Big trouble, sir. The condominium that Miss Murphy is in now is on fire and the location of the fire is on
her floor.”
