Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Cuckolded

The happy atmosphere was destroyed by Veronica.

“I…” Veronica was caught speechless for a moment as she could not reply, ‘this is all for your own
good’ in time before she saw Yvonne stand up. “I still have some business at my company. If you would
excuse me. Goodbye.”

Exiting the door huffily, Yvonne even slammed the door shut, making the office shake a bit.

Veronica only shook her head at this spectacle, calling Yvonne a fool.

Gazing at the box, Veronica found out that it contained all her favorite desserts.

Even though they knew each other for less than six months, she found Yvonne to be a straightforward
person with no ulterior motives. Also, remembering her likes and dislikes made her feel moved.

In the end, she still decided to keep an eye on Conrad.

With such thoughts in mind, Veronica suddenly remembered Matthew.

So, she called him, wanting to know more about Conrad from him.

Ring, ring, ring…

It rang for a long time before someone finally answered the call.

“Matthew, what took you so long?” She asked impatiently.

It was as if she had gotten used to being this cold.

“I’m Ruka.”



Ruka’s voice came from the other side.

Veronica was a bit surprised as she looked at her phone and confirmed that she had indeed called
Matthew.

So, she asked, “Where’s Matthew?”

“He’s at the hospital.”

“H-He’s at a hospital? Which one?’

What happened?

Didn’t Grandma tell me that Matthew was abroad for business yesterday?

Could it be that Matthew only hid the truth from her because he got hurt in a crash?

After mulling over different scenarios, this seemed the most plausible.

“It’s Woodland Community Hospital.”

“Okay. I’ll go there right now. Please send his ward number to me.”

The moment Veronica heard that Matthew was hospitalized made her heart skip a beat as she
immediately stopped working and rushed to the hospital.

On the way there, she drove at such breakneck speeds that she did not even notice.

At one point, she even crossed a red light.

Finally, she reached the hospital after forty minutes.

Due to the remote location of the private hospital, the surrounding area was relatively quiet.



After parking her car, Veronica rushed to ward 2409, which was given to her by Ruka.

The two bodyguards, who were guarding the entrance to the ward, blocked Veronica from entering.

“You’re not allowed to enter.” One of the bodyguards said emotionlessly.

“I’m Matthew’s sister, Veronica Murphy. Let me in.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know who you are. Please leave.”

The bodyguards did not allow her in.

Then, the door to the ward opened, and Troy saw that Veronica had a sour expression, so he said, “Let
her in.”

Veronica was finally let in.

As for the bodyguards’ attitude, she did not mind it so much.

After all, Matthew was the president of the Spinfluence Group. It would be chaos if the public got hold
of how he was staying in a hospital due to suffering from heavy injuries.

Walking inside the ward, Veronica asked, “How’s Matthew?”

The VIP ward was separated into two spaces. One was a small living room type space, while the other
was the ward itself.

Through this method, one could prevent others from snooping around and create an even more quiet
environment for the patient.

Troy only impatiently replied, “You can go ask him yourself.”



His flippant attitude only made Veronica doubt herself.

Why’s he being all fierce?

It’s not as if his accident had anything to do with me.

She kept thinking about this as she entered the ward.

Inside was Ruka, who was sitting on the couch while Matthew was lying on the bed.

It was a rare sight to see Matthew wrapped in bandages. Even so, he still looked stunning as his face
was near perfect from any angle.

Stunned, Veronica then frowned before walking toward him and asking, “What happened? Aren’t you
something? Still crashing after driving for over ten years? Or was it one of your enemies that caused
it?”

Matthew woke up after being unconscious for over a day.

Leaning against the bed, he silently watched as Veronica entered with a torrent of emotions.

I can never guess what this strange woman is thinking about. What a headache.

“I won’t die,” he replied coldly.

He was as cold as ever.

Ring, ring.

It was then that Matthew’s phone vibrated.

Opening his phone, he saw that it was a message from Xavier.



The message showed a series of photos, He then clicked on one of them.

The man became quite pale as his pupils dilated. He held his phone tightly while he became enveloped
in a cold aura.

In the photo, Veronica was baring her upper body and was hugging Xavier. Her head leaned against
his chest, displaying a very intimate position.

One could see that they were in a hotel, and there was even a used condom on the table.

Matthew only thought as if his world had collapsed.

Just yesterday, Troy had said that her confession to her first love at the jewelry event was an accident.
The main aim was to let Matthew know that Veronica did not love Hendrey.

What are these photos, then?

Are these proof of her being in love with Xavier?

That means that on that day in the Hilton Hotel, Ruka’s voice recording of Veronica was not words of
jealousy but…

She really isn’t interested in me.

She just doesn’t like me, plain and simple.

Is it because the person she loved all along was Xavier?

Did she love him for a long time now, or is it that they started the relationship after getting to really
know each other?



Matthew then recalled the time where Veronica shot Xavier cold-bloodedly in the warehouse. He only
thought that she would shoot him so readily because she did not love him.

Even though it was protecting the Crawford Family, it only showed him how much Veronica cared about
him when she shot him back then.

Otherwise, how could their relationship be so close when Xavier was hurt by Veronica, which led to
Melissa’s staying in a hospital for months?

In conclusion, the only way he could explain this was that Veronica had liked Xavier all this time!

I think that she only didn’t admit her love for Xavier on the day of her father’s birthday, when her foster
parents urged her to marry him, because I was there too.

Is it due to fear that I might seek revenge on Xavier?

All this happened in Matthew’s brain for a second as Veronica set her bag aside and sat next to him
when he was looking at the photos.

She was not conscious of his thoughts.

Looking up coldly, Matthew said to Ruka, who was sitting on the couch, “Leave the room with Troy.”

Ruka only nodded. “Okay.”

The two of them then got up and left the ward.

Laughing, Veronica asked, “Why are you being so secretive? Do you have something to say to me? Is
it that you crash because you dozed off?”

Matthew, who was trying hard to calm himself, put his phone away and looked up. “Did you go to the
Kings Residence yesterday?”



Nodding, Veronica replied, “Oh right. I called you yesterday as you wanted to go with me. But, you
didn’t pick up the phone, so I just went by myself.”

“How did you go back?”

“I was drunk, so Xavier sent me back.” She summarized everything, yet she did not mention Conrad.

“Did he send you back?”

‘Nope. We went to a hotel.”

“Hotel? So, you guys slept in the hotel for a night?”

“Yes. I couldn’t possibly bring him to sleep at my house, can I?” Veronica replied halfheartedly.

Tilting her head, she focused on the fruits on the table while thinking about the man peeling the fruits
for Elizabeth dotingly.

She took a fruit and found a small knife in the drawer before peeling it for him.

Veronica still had not noticed Matthew’s abnormality as she was peeling the fruit and asking, “You still
haven’t stated how you crashed.”

Clutching his phone until the back of his hand’s veins popped, Matthew looked absolutely livid.

As he glanced from time to time at Veronica, the image of them ‘joining their bodies’ filled his mind.

Suddenly, he remembered the words Xavier said the day before and thought them sarcastic now.

“Get out! I want to rest for a while!”
