Chapter 432 Veronica Was in Agonizing Pain
However… She had no idea Matthew would admit it himself! It turned out that the last time Monica’s son was injured and hospitalized, she contacted Skyler to make arrangements for his care.
At that time, Monica happened to see a video of Sasha hugging Matthew’s neck on Skyler’s phone. The reason why Matthew did not decline Sasha’s hug at that time was not because they were childhood friends. It was because…
He had been in love with Sasha since the beginning! As Matthew stated, he desired to marry Veronica solely to enrage Sasha and exact revenge! “Do you still have no idea why I abandoned you back then, Matt?”
“Because… Because you and I were both men and the world would never have accepted us back then. I don’t want you, the outstanding heir of the Kings Family, to suffer with me. People chastised me, so I left Bloomstead and traveled abroad for my SRS to transition to a woman. I even changed my name and last name just to be with you,” Sasha said, her voice choking.
“But you… But you eventually decided to stay with this woman. You… Oh… Have you thought about my feelings? Matt, you… You’re so selfish…. Sob…”
“Are you aware of how painful the surgery is for me? I can’t accept who I am now numerous times, but you’re the only one who encourages me to keep going… I’m in physical pain, but your relationship with another woman is turning my world upside down. And you used to say you didn’t like women. W-Why did you suddenly change your mind? Why… Sob…” Sasha burst into tears.
When Veronica heard the unexpected truth, her entire body froze as she was shocked and heartbroken.
It turned out…
It turned out that Sasha Claude was of the third gender!
Veronica questioned the veracity of this matter. However, when Sasha confided in her about her past misery and pain, Matthew’s hand on her shoulder tightened slightly, causing Veronica to feel the true reaction of pain.
The man remained quiet at this point and the silence in the living room was deafening. Save for Sasha’s sobbing and the sound of wine pouring, there was nothing but silence.
Veronica slowly opened her eyes, straightened her body and tilted her head to look at Matthew, whose handsome face was flustered. The next second, the wine glass in his hand slipped from his grasp.
A full glass of red wine was spilled on his legs and the glass shattered as it landed on the ground.
“Roni, you—”
“Is everything you said true?” Veronica interrupted him in the middle of his sentence, questioning him with a gloomy expression.
His brows furrowed and he did not answer her question. However, silence… was a covert admission.
She cocked her head and cast a glance at Skyler, only to see him turning around to cover her face and avoid her gaze with a guilty conscience.
“He never loved you at all. You should… be out of the game automatically,” Sasha said to Veronica with tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Ah.” Veronica only felt a suffocating, knife-cutting pain in her heart. She returned her gaze to meet Matthew’s complex emotional gaze before standing up to leave.
“I’m sorry,” Matthew responded as he grabbed her hand.
An apology will never be enough. Veronica shoved his hand forcefully and slapped him in the face while exclaiming, “Matthew Kings! You b*stard! You really disgust me!”
Yes. Disgust.
She strode out of the living room and shut the door firmly. Then, she pressed the first-floor button as soon as she boarded the elevator.
Ding—
Tears were streaming down her face just as the elevator door closed. Leaning weakly against the elevator wall, her body weakened as she slowly collapsed on the floor. How can this happen? Huh, this is really amusing. I thought Matthew had feelings for me, but turns out it’s all a joke in the end. Yet, how can he save me again and again if he is only trying to deceive me at first?
When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Veronica quickly adjusted her attitude. She then fished out her phone and called a private detective, asking the other party to retrieve the information within an hour for a high price.
The private investigator, on the other hand, worked on the matter at first instance.
Within half an hour, she received a call. “Miss Murphy, we’ve already looked into it. Sasha Calude was a man at first; his given name was Manuel Franklin and he has been friends with Matthew since school. I’ve emailed you the photos.”
After hanging up the phone, Veronica checked her mailbox on the phone where she found an unread email. Attached was the resume of Manuel, who was now known as Sasha.
As she browsed through the document, she came across an image of Sasha huddling with Matthew in school when she was a boy; the following image was Sasha’s picture after she had a SRS.
Veronica had been skeptical of Matthew’s previous conversation with Sasha, but the evidence was now clear and she had nothing to doubt.
She walked in her flip-flops, but she felt powerless to move.
Therefore, Veronica dragged her exhausted body to the bench and sat. She raised her head and smiled as she gazed at the roadside scenery. “Hahah… Hahahahaha…”
Her small chuckle in the beginning turned into a reckless and unbridled laughter. She laughed and cried as she leaned against the bench. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as it disappeared into her hair at the temples.
Despite the fact that it was late at night, Mythpoint was always crowded and people were giving her strange looks when they saw her laughing as if she was insane.
Nobody knew that tears of grief were hidden behind her laugh.
This is such a joke. Everything is a joke! Lies. Everything is a lie!
……
Meanwhile, at the Twilight Condominium.
After Veronica had left, Matthew drank glass after glass of red wine.
Skyler, who sat across from him, was perplexed. “Why did you force Sasha and I to put on a show? You should instead give a reasonable reason for breaking up with Veronica! Even if you’re not planning to give her a proper reason to break up, you shouldn’t have done it in such a desperate way.”
Sasha wholeheartedly agreed with Skyler’s words. “Yes. Drew is right. You are far too hurtful.”
Matthew invited a few people over today because Miguel and Caleb were lightweight drinkers. Instead, both Skyler and Sasha were heavy drinkers. On the surface, it looked like they were coming over for sushi, but it was actually a well-planned breakup act.
Originally, Matthew wanted to cast other women, but he was afraid that Veronica would not believe him, so he had to settle for Sasha.
No one would mock her for being of a third gender and gathering evidence would be simple as well.
This left Veronica with no choice but to trust his words.
“I want you two to keep this a secret from Caleb and Miguel.” Matthew raised a full glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Bang! “If anything comes to light, don’t blame me for cutting ties with all of you!” he said as he slammed the wine glass on the table.
