Chapter 334 A 100-Million Transfer

Being a woman herself, Elizabeth understood the difficult position Conrad’s mother was in. She had a

son with Howard, but he never acknowledged her as his wife in the end.

She had always known her place. If someone had to be blamed for this, Howard was the one who

should be blamed. Conrad’s mother was a nice person, which was why Elizabeth, who saw everything

in black and white, was especially nice to Conrad.

Matthew’s handsome face looked somewhat frosty. “Uncle Conrad has something to do with what

happened to Roni this time. I can forgive him once, but three strikes and he’s out.”

“Okay, I got it,” Elizabeth replied, but she didn’t care about this at all. She couldn’t help but question

again, “Now then, when are you gonna marry Veronica? If you don’t hold onto such a nice lady, she

might become someone else’s wife.”

“There’s no hurry. She’s just 22 years old.”

“You’re not in a hurry, but I am.”

“Even if you’re in a hurry, you have to wait.”

“That’s f*cking nonsense! How many years can I wait now that I already have one foot in the grave?

Why is it so hard to have a great-grandson?” Elizabeth swore in anger. “A year—I’m giving you a year

at most. You two must get married by then!”

“Three years!” Matthew protested.

“No chance. I’m giving you guys two years at most.”

“We won’t get married, then,” Matthew replied nonchalantly while turning to look somewhere else.

“How dare you…” Elizabeth sat up angrily before slapping his arm forcefully. “Are you trying to piss me

off? What a good-for-nothing who can’t even deal with a woman! How useless of you to have such

good looks for nothing!” Every word she said was filled with her distaste for him.

Then, she pointed at him, saying, “Hmph! Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Veronica is not only

fair and pretty, but she’s also a reliable person destined for greatness. If you don’t hold her in your

grasp right now, then don’t cry in front of me when someone steals her away one day.”

Matthew’s thin lips parted slightly. He wanted to make a retort, but he suddenly found that there was

some truth in Elizabeth’s words.

“Enough, just get out of here and take care of the matter. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself again.”

Elizabeth urged him to leave with a wave of her hand. Then, she added, “From tomorrow onward, you

no longer have to come back as long as Veronica doesn’t return to the Kings Residence. It irks me to

see you.”

Matthew was rendered speechless. Good God, my standing has plummeted now that there’s Veronica!

He left the ward.

Seeing the man stepping out of the ward, Veronica immediately stood up and stared at him with a

complicated look in her eyes. “Are you okay?”

A smile of satisfaction appeared on Matthew’s good-looking face as he put up his hand and gently

caressed her cheek with his thumb. “I’ve never felt better than I do now.”

Veronica was dumbfounded. “Huh? What makes you say so now that so many things have happened?”

“You weren’t there before,” Matthew replied.

His words tugged at Veronica’s heartstrings, causing her heart to flutter.

Putting his arm around her waist, Matthew pulled her into his arms and leaned forward to peck her on

the lips before straightening up. “I’ve talked to Grandma, and she’ll keep our relationship a secret.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“That’s great.” Veronica looked up at him with starry eyes as her red lips curled into a sweet, charming

smile. “Thank you, Matthew.”

Matthew’s face darkened slightly when she thanked him. Leaning forward again, he bit her lips lightly,

causing her to gasp in pain. Only then did he warn, “Don’t say the words ‘thank you’ to me anymore.”

“If I can’t say ‘thank you’ to you, what else should I do?”

“You can…” Matthew paused mid-sentence. Then, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Why say

‘thank you’ to me when you can deal with it with your body instead? How insincere.”

“Matthew, are you letting your lust take control of you?” Veronica knitted her fine eyebrows. “Why have

I never realized before that you have no sense of shame? Since you’re so lustful, you must’ve slept

with a lot of prostitutes in the past.”

Matthew pinched her waist gently with his hand that was around her waist. “Am I that kind of person in

your mind?”

“Yes, you are. I only agreed to go out with you last night, but you never seemed to stop.”

Upon hearing this, Matthew pressed his forehead against hers with a gentle smile. He said

affectionately, “Perhaps it’s thanks to your charm. I’ve been unable to hold back my lust for you since

you agreed to go out with me.”

“You’re blaming me, huh? Let’s break up, then. Our relationship is still on a trial period, anyway.”

“It’s too late for that!” Matthew hugged her tightly. Then, he continued, “Grandma is right that women

are capricious. I should have married you at once instead of agreeing to wait a few years before

marrying you. Roni, if I do well during my three-month probation, can we register our marriage first?”

All of a sudden, he felt a sense of danger and thought that Elizabeth’s words made a lot of sense. They

could get engaged late and get married late without making their marriage public. However, they could

get married in secret right now without living together.

Veronica was startled; she wasn’t prepared at all. “What? Register our marriage? Do we need to be so

hasty?”

“No, it’s not hasty at all,” Matthew replied in a deep, husky voice. “You’re such a great person,

Veronica. You’ve got a lot of admirers. I’m afraid that if I don’t hold onto you, you’ll run away with

someone else later. Where am I supposed to find my wife by then?”

“Pffft…” Veronica was amused by the man’s words. He had always been as proud as a peacock, with

an air of detachment that would keep any strangers away. Not only that, but he was aloof and lordly,

like an otherworldly angel. At this very moment, however, his words sounded so down-to-earth that she

nearly thought everything was an illusion.

“Don’t laugh!” Matthew bit her lips again. “It’s okay if you don’t want to let the outside world know about

our relationship, but we can choose to get married in secret. Does that sound okay to you?”

“Getting married in secret?” Suddenly, Veronica thought it good to get married in secret. That way, they

would still be together, and the outside world wouldn’t know about their relationship.

“Alright. As long as you pass your three-month probation period, I’ll agree to it.” They had known each

other for so long, but it was only after many twists and turns that they fell in love with each other.

Perhaps this kind of love was even more hard-earned.

“In that case, stay here with Grandma and act in front of those elders. I’m going back to my office first.”

“Uh, okay. Let’s stay in touch by phone,” Veronica replied.

Matthew kissed her. Then, he let go of her and left.

Standing where she was, Veronica watched as Matthew entered the elevator. At that very moment, she

suddenly felt that love was really wonderful—so wonderful that even the air smelled sweet when they

were together.

After a long time, she finally slapped her head in realization. “Am I crazy? How could I agree to his

proposal to get married in secret?” As expected, women are stupid when they’re in love. She turned

around and entered the ward to chat with Elizabeth.

Half an hour later, her phone beeped with an incoming text message. She picked it up and took a look,

only to see that it was a transaction notification.

It read, ‘Oculus Bank: Matthew Kings have transferred 100,000,000.00 into your bank account
