Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)

Chapter 1223 Our Secret



"Oh dear. I used to think that Mr. Crayson was a good person. Never had it crossed my mind that he would turn out to be nasty." Shirley pouted, feeling somewhat sorry for Veronica.

"Never mind. Let's not talk about this." Veronica changed the topic. "Matt, where will you arrange for them to stay?"

"Just stay at the One Piece Restaurant. There are three empty rooms, so you two can choose a room for yourselves and stay here."

Matthew had long made the arrangements.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Outside, someone came to knock on the door again. "Boss, someone is looking for you," the person informed.

Matthew stood up. "You go ahead and chat. I'll go out for a while." After that, he walked out of the lounge and closed the door.

Only three of them were left in the room. Just when Veronica wanted to send Skyler away so that she could ask Shirley about Vincere Games, his voice sounded. "Since I have brought Shirley here with me, naturally, I have assigned someone reliable to manage Vincere Games for you. They will undoubtedly help your company thrive."

Skyler arched his eyebrows at Veronica and gave her a mischievous smile at the end of his speech. "Don't worry, Roni. I won't tell Matt about this."

At first, he couldn't believe that Veronica was secretly running a business. But then again, once he realized that Veronica was an independent and self-reliant woman who would not rely on Matthew for a long time, he figured it was normal for her to start her own business.

"Oh deor. I used to think thot Mr. Croyson wos o good person. Never hod it crossed my mind thot he would turn out to be nosty." Shirley pouted, feeling somewhot sorry for Veronico.

"Never mind. Let's not tolk obout this." Veronico chonged the topic. "Mott, where will you orronge for them to stoy?"

"Just stoy ot the One Piece Restouront. There ore three empty rooms, so you two con choose o room for yourselves ond stoy here."

Motthew hod long mode the orrongements.

Motthew stood up. "You go oheod ond chot. I'll go out for o while." After thot, he wolked out of the lounge ond closed the door.

Only three of them were left in the room. Just when Veronico wonted to send Skyler owoy so thot she could osk Shirley obout Vincere Gomes, his voice sounded. "Since I hove brought Shirley here with me, noturolly, I hove ossigned someone relioble to monoge Vincere Gomes for you. They will undoubtedly help your compony thrive."

Skyler orched his eyebrows ot Veronico ond gove her o mischievous smile ot the end of his speech. "Don't worry, Roni. I won't tell Mott obout this."

"Oh dear. I used to think that Mr. Crayson was a good person. Never had it crossed my mind that he would turn out to be nasty." Shirley pouted, feeling somewhat sorry for Veronica.

"Thank you." Veronica expressed her gratitude. Then, she glanced at Shirley, her eyes filled with a questioning look.

Knowing she had made a mistake, Shirley hung her head low. "Ron, I'm sorry. I-I..."

"It's not her fault. I saw her working at Vincere Games and had someone investigate. That's how I found out about this."

Fearing Veronica would blame Shirley, Skyler immediately stepped forward to explain, being protective of his friend.

"Why are you so anxious? I'm not going to beat her."

Veronica couldn't help teasing him after she noticed the panic on Skyler's face.

Sure enough, Shirley understood the hidden meaning in her words very well.

At once, her face turned red, showing the shyness of an innocent girl. "Ron, stop making things up."

"Making things up? What did I make up?"

Veronica turned sideways to face Shirley with a confused expression.

"I-I..."

Shirley was bereft of speech before realizing belatedly that she had overreacted.

Meanwhile, Skyler sat quietly on the side and looked at them, smiling but not saying a word.

Before long, Matthew returned.

They spent the whole afternoon chatting freely, and everyone was in an excellent mood.

In the evening, Matthew had the kitchen prepare dinner. Once the dishes were served, everyone sat together, eating and chatting.

Because they were having such a good time, Matthew didn't remind Veronica and Shirley of the time when he saw the two chatting happily despite realizing how late it was.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. when Crayson called that Veronica realized it was time to go back.

Before heading back, Matthew took Shirley and Skyler to choose their rooms.

Skyler stayed in Executive Suite No. 1, whereas Shirley stayed in Executive Suite No. 2, with only a wall separating them.

After that, Matthew gave them each a set of miniature translating headsets so that they could wear them when they went out, easing their livelihood in the hidden clan. In addition, he also gave them each a mobile phone.

"Rest well, you two. Roni and I have to go back. According to the weather forecast, it's going to rain later," he said to the two while putting his arm around Veronica's shoulder.

"Okay, President Kings."

"Sure, Matt and Roni. You go ahead and do your thing."

Both Shirley and Skyler nodded in response.

After Skyler finished speaking, Matthew shot him a chilling gaze through his pitch-dark eyes as he warned, "Hey, hey. Watch your tone when you address her as Roni!"
