Chapter 361

Melissa Truly Has a Strong Taste

Monica’s voice was choked with tears, and her eyes were so teary that they were bloodshot. At this
moment, she looked highly helter-skelter.

When Veronica first met her, she was still an intellectual and graceful, beautiful woman. However, she
did not expect Monica to end up in such a miserable state after not seeing her for half a month.

“Shirley, do you mind accompanying Monica first? I still have some urgent matters to deal with. I’ll
come to see you, girls, later.”

In fact, Veronica really had an urgent matter, and she did not dare to delay even for a moment.

“Sure, President Murphy. Thank you so much.”

With teary eyes, Monica thanked Veronica sincerely. She was tremendously grateful to Veronica for all
the help that she had received.

Skyler wanted to follow after Veronica when he saw that she had left in a hurry just to check on the
situation. However, Monica pulled his sleeve and asked, “Young Master Skyler, what did the doctor
say? Can my son be saved?”

“About that…” Skyler really could not answer Monica’s answer. Therefore, he could only console her by
saying, “He should be fine, so you must not overthink things and exhaust yourself worrying.”

…

Later, Veronica left the hospital. While on her way back, she passed by an Internet cafe and stopped
her car at once. She didn’t even bother removing her car keys as she took her bag, ran straight into the



Internet cafe, and turned on a computer. After she had access to the computer in her rented
compartment, her fingers started tapping on the keyboard furiously.

Shortly after, the computer screen suddenly went pitch black, and rows of symbols, numbers, and
‘garbled characters’ written in Chinese appeared.

As Veronica knew very well that Melissa had always done things her own way and never considered
the consequences of her actions, she thought, Since Melissa said that she would expose the video on
the Internet, she would definitely do so. Therefore, I must intercept the video before she reveals it to
the public.

Even so, the more anxious she was, the more she felt the noise in the Internet cafe was obstreperous.

“F*ck! Damn! This team, Legion of Vin, is really awesome! They have won several games in just over a
month!”

“It’s no fun watching the live broadcast at all. But I’ll definitely buy a ticket if Legion of Vin has a live
game match.”

“Manager, give me a drink, please.”

“What the hell?! What kind of trash is this? I expect this user to serve as a reinforcement, yet they
come all the way here just to get killed?”

“Ha! Letting an idiot become the TOP and try to steal my Crest of Insight? Do you have a death wish?”

…

Coincidentally, today was the day of competition between the team from Vincere Games and the
provincial team. Unfortunately, due to Veronica’s company running an e-sports-related business and
her currently being in an Internet cafe, she found herself to be easily distracted at this moment.



As the atmosphere in the Internet cafe was too noisy, her impetuous mood became increasingly
agitated to the point that she kept inserting the wrong code several times.

In a fit of anger, Veronica switched the webpage and started re-entering the code. Within three minutes,
she directly hacked all the computers in the Internet cafe.

Suddenly, hundreds of computers on all three upper and lower floors of the Internet cafe malfunctioned,
and the screens instantly turned blue.

There was a burst of malicious swearing in the Internet cafe almost at that moment.

“Holy sh*t! What’s the situation?!”

“Manager, blue screen error!”

“Manager, what is up with your cafe’s stupid computer?! How can it malfunction and show blue screen
errors even when I’m playing a game? I was playing a ranked game!”

“F*ck! What the actual f*ck is this?!”

“I’m watching the game, and things are just getting exciting. F*cking hell!”

“This is pissing me off!”

…

The enraged group of customers swore and even insulted Veronica’s ancestors as they realized they
must have been hacked.

Regardless, Veronica was unbothered by the ruckus they were raising and the rather creative insults.
After she was done programming the code, she sent a message to Melissa’s WhatsApp. Immediately
after Melissa clicked it, the program was implanted into her phone.



Then, her phone went dead no matter what she did.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Melissa was editing the video on her phone. She was going to expose
Veronica’s video directly through the Twitter verified influencers’ accounts. However, Veronica sent her
a link right at this moment.

Under the influence of her curiosity, she clicked on the link. The next moment, her phone was directed
to a webpage and went dead thereafter.

Just when Melissa was furious and annoyed, Veronica, who hacked into Melissa’s phone system,
accidentally discovered that there were many videos on her phone.

All those videos were actually the kind of ‘action movies’ from Japan. Not only that; the scale of the
‘actions’ in the videos was so interestingly hardcore that just a few seconds of watching those videos
would get people aroused.

Nonetheless, for the sake of her scheme to work, she forced herself to look closer. It was right at that
moment when Veronica found that there were not only videos Melissa downloaded from the Internet
but ones involving Xavier and Tiffany too. Good heavens! There’s even a video of Melissa with two
men!

Although Veronica was not interested in this kind of video, she was still shocked beyond words.

She vaguely heard the outsiders’ remarks about Melissa before but did not take them seriously. She
knew that rumors were always far from the truth, but she didn’t expect that they were more or less on
the nose about Melissa!

Now that Veronica saw it with her own eyes, it was truly one of the top ten sights she never expected to
see in her lifetime.



She played the video out of curiosity and watched it for a few seconds. Regardless, when she had a
clearer look on the face of the man in the video with Melissa, she could not help but gasp. That’s Cody!
Cody Bowman!

The colleague, Cody, whom she knew at that time while working in the Twilight Club back when she
first came to Bloomstead. It was the same colleague who always addressed her as ‘Big Ron’.

Veronica placed a significant amount of trust in him, but he eventually betrayed her. It had to be said
that Tiffany coerced Cody into betraying her. For this reason, Veronica didn’t really hold a grudge
against him.

Still, it never crossed her mind that Cody would change and become Melissa’s… guest of honor.

Finally, Veronica immediately called Melissa after she had everything she needed from Melissa’s
phone.

Before she could speak, Melissa instantly screamed in a fury, “Veronica Murphy! What sort of virus did
you implant into my phone?! You b*tch! Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you by hacking my phone!
You better listen and listen well. I will send those videos to the Twitter verified influencers’ accounts and
make them expose you online. I will ruin you in every way possible!”

“Oh, really? Funny. Why didn’t I find out that you have a hobby of collecting ‘action movies’ before?
This hobby of yours is rather interestingly refreshing, dear Melissa.” Veronica couldn’t stop the laughter
that bubbled in her chest, so she didn’t. “If you want to post the video, just go ahead. I won’t stop you.
However, the furthest extent it’ll go is that people will know that something is going on between Xavier
and me no matter how much you expose me. But you—you’re different. Threesome, huh? You sure are
one adventurous lady. Tsk, tsk—as expected, you city folks really know how to have fun.”

As Melissa did not understand the hidden meaning behind Veronica’s words, she was stunned for a
while. “What threesome? I don’t understand what you’re talking about and don’t try to evade the subject



under discussion. Veronica, my terms are the same. Since you’re Matthew’s godsister, you better ask
him to stop attacking the Crawford Family at once. Otherwise, I will expose your video and cause a big
uproar. By then, the Kings Corporation and the Kings Family will definitely be dragged into this matter.”

Whenever she recalled those memories of how Veronica had torn her reputation and image to shreds,
the murderous urge to strangle that b*tch to death would always resurface.

It was even worse when she saw how Veronica seemed to be enjoying her life to the fullest and even
became Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter. In contrast, she became more miserable, which triggered her
immensely, making her hatred toward Veronica fester within her.

“Oh, you don’t understand what I’m talking about? Well then, let me give you some hints.” Veronica
paused for a while before she continued, “Hotel. One at the front while another at the back, and you, in
between, like an Oreo. Out of curiosity, was it satisfying?”

At once, her words made Melissa feel as though a bolt of lightning had struck her. Terrified, her face
abruptly turned ghastly pale.

So, she swallowed her growing hysteria with difficulty as she stuttered, “Y-You… What are you talking
about? I don’t understand a word you said, but Veronica, I’m warning you. Do not spew nonsense!”

“Why are you so nervous? From the video, I could see you were quite enjoying the process. The video
even lasted for three hours. Man, you sure have good stamina. Just for that, you have my unwavering
admiration!” Veronica smiled as she mocked Melissa.

Unfortunately, when these words rang in Melissa’s ears, she was totally enraged. At that moment, her
hysteria gave way to manic hostility as she yelled on the other end of the phone, “Argh!!! Veronica, I’m
going to kill you! Kill! You! Dead! Where did you get the video?! Veronica, I swear to God I will kill you!”
