She turned to the man beside her and asked, “Quinn, don’t you find her beauty irritating? Wouldn’t everything be resolved if she ruined her appearance?”
“Ruined her appearance?” Antheena murmured, her gaze fixed on Veronica Murphy’s exquisitely beautiful face. She had flawless features, rosy lips, and a distinct Eastern charm. Her cold demeanor added an unapproachable allure to her.
“You’re quite mischievous, Quinn,” Antheena said, playfully poking his well-built abs. “But it’s actually a good idea.” She gave him a thumbs up in approval.
Then, she turned around, her red lips forming a smile. “Did you hear that?” Antheena pointed at the fruit knife embedded in the wooden wine cabinet with her slender finger. “If you ruin your own appearance today, I promise not to pursue Matthew Kings. Consider it as fulfilling your request.”
Veronica Murphy felt that this was more of a challenge than a request. Remaining calm, she turned her head slightly and calmly looked at the fruit knife. Walking over, she pulled it out of the wine cabinet.
Antheena had good skills, as the fruit knife was embedded a few centimeters deep, requiring some force to remove it.
Looking down at the fruit knife shining with a cold gleam, Veronica Murphy raised the blade. “It’s a shame to see blood on such a nice knife.” She looked up and met Antheena’s gaze. “Coincidentally, I don’t have a fruit knife at home, so I’ll consider it a gift from Miss Antheena. Thank you.”
Veronica Murphy closed the fruit knife, turned around, and walked towards the suite without looking back. In the living room, Antheena and the two male models beside her watched Veronica Murphy leave in silence.
Just as she was about to walk out of the door, Antheena spoke loudly, “If you dare to walk out that door, there will be no chance of redemption. Not only will you die, but Matthew Kings will also die. And of course, your two children won’t escape death either.”
Veronica Murphy paused for a moment at the door, her face momentarily turning ugly. Then, she smiled and said, “I’ll see it through to the end.”
She opened the door and walked out of the living room without looking back. She had come here today to test Antheena’s determination. Since her determination was so firm, it meant that there was no room for negotiation.
After leaving the hotel, Veronica Murphy drove back to her own hotel, freshened up, and lay down on the bed. However, she couldn’t fall asleep. She took out her phone, but there were no news or calls from Matthew Kings.
She knew that Antheena’s father had already taken action against Metric Technology, and Matthew Kings was busy dealing with the company’s affairs.
Veronica Murphy couldn’t help but sigh with relief, grateful that she had a private detective agency and two capable assistants. Otherwise, she would have been in a very difficult situation. In the early morning, Eleanor Gomez came knocking on the door.
Veronica Murphy, who had only slept for a little over an hour, got up and walked to the living room, opening the door to see Eleanor Gomez standing outside with a cane. She yawned and greeted her, “Good morning.”
“With such heavy dark circles, did you have a secret rendezvous with a man yesterday without inviting me?’ Eleanor Gomez teased.
Veronica Murphy walked into the living room, wearing slippers. “If I had taken you along, would you have paid? No, you would have just brought more men.”
She patted the pocket of her pajamas. “I’m short on cash.”
“Well, I’m considered a wealthy and beautiful woman now. When it comes to finding men, if you don’t have money, I do,” Eleanor Gomez said with a laugh.
