Chapter 487 Questioning Crayson
She continued playing the video and saw Matthew making a call, but the playback speed was in fast-forward motion and so fast that she couldn’t hear anything. So, she played it at normal speed to listen to the audio.
“Master Crayson, are you asleep? Yeah, I’m going to look for you now. Roni is already asleep. I hope that you can give me an acceptable reason. Otherwise, I won’t break up with her.”
After he said all that, he hung up, and Veronica’s eyes opened wide with disbelief as shivers kept running down her spine, and she felt her entire body turning chilly with sudden realization.
What happened? So, that night at One Piece Restaurant, Crayson and Matthew went to the bathroom together to have a chat, but… what did they speak about?
All of a sudden, she felt that there were too many secrets surrounding Crayson.
On that day, when they entered the VIP dining room of One Piece Restaurant, the atmosphere was very tense, but after Matthew and Crayson returned from the bathroom, it became much more relaxed. At that time, she thought that Matthew had pacified Crayson.
Now, it looked like that wasn’t what happened.
Perhaps overwhelmed by her curiosity, she followed the surveillance until the hotel, but after Matthew went into Crayson’s room and left, it was already two hours later.
It wasn’t clear to Veronica what they had spoken about during that period.
As she was met with a dead end when it came to such crucial information, she thought of One Piece Restaurant, and after she cracked the restaurant’s surveillance, she finally found the part where Matthew and Crayson were having a conversation.
Unfortunately, the surveillance didn’t have audio, and since things had come to this stage, there was no point in investigating further.
Matthew broke up with me because it’s Crayson’s idea, she concluded. But why?
That night, she couldn’t sleep a wink at all, and at 4.30AM, Crayson called her on the phone for morning training.
Veronica, who hadn’t slept a wink the night before, changed into gym clothes and went jogging with Crayson. After that, they sped along the path to the park to start their morning training.
Despite being 5.00AM, the sun was already shining overhead due to summer.
Veronica didn’t immediately start her training routine when they reached their training spot in the park. Instead, she held the water bottle in her hands, twisted it open, and gulped two mouthfuls.
Finally, she trudged to the bench and plopped down.
Crayson wore a loose-fitting sports outfit with a ruler in his hand, then he strolled up to her and gently patted her shoulder. “Are you being lazy again, you wretched girl? Get up and start training now. Don’t be lazy.”
She didn’t reply to his apparent playful taunt but placed the bottle of water to the side and gestured to the spot beside herself by patting it gently. “Take a seat for a while. Let’s talk.”
Her face was serious, and she clearly wasn’t in a joking mood. As Crayson knew exactly what had happened to her recently, he assumed that she was simply in low spirits.
“What happened? Who bullied you again?” He snorted. “I didn’t wake up early in the morning and train you all day just so that others can walk all over you. Where are the results of your everyday training—”
“Why did you ask Matthew to break up with me?”
Crayson had yet to finish his sentence when Veronica cast him a sideways glance, staring fixedly at him with her sharp gaze, and her face was cold as her eyes burned with a need for answers.
Her powerful, dominant aura stunned him for a moment, and they held that gaze for a few seconds until he gradually recovered.
He blinked guiltily, looked away, and muttered weakly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You don’t know? Then, let me jog your memory. On that day when we wanted to register our marriage, Matthew went to look for you at the Hilton Hotel in the evening. What did the both of you speak about?”
“That day… That day…” Crayson wracked his brains for a plausible excuse, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, “Oh, I’m an old man with a bad memory, but I chatted a little with Matthew about his future plans in life. That’s nothing much.”
“Really?” There was an aloof look on her fair and delicate face, and she asked, “I saw you that night at the plaza on Mudwood Street. So, what are you doing going to Mudwood Street alone?”
On that day, she was feeling down and went to the plaza on Mudwood Street alone, where she ran into Conrad by chance. That was the night she saw Crayson, and she even thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her because that person disappeared after she gave chase.
Meanwhile, Crayson’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes glimmered with unease.
“You can’t remember as well?” Veronica sneered. “On the 19th, you appeared at Pines Street. What were you doing?’
That day was the first day she started working at Starshine. Because of a conflict with Mia, she was sent to buy breakfast, and that was when she bumped into Crayson.
She quickly changed her clothes in a boutique on that street because she wanted to follow him. But, in the end, she received a call from Yvonne, calling her for help.
She abandoned her chance to follow Crayson in order to save Yvonne.
“Heh, your eyes must be playing tricks on you, wretched girl. I was still in the countryside on the 19th.” He chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head in response. Yet, a shrewd gleam flashed past his eyes when he turned to look aside.
“The countryside?” She nodded and said, “At the mention of the countryside, that reminds me of something else. On the 28th, I brought some stuff to visit you at your place, but you were in the forest close to your house. What were you planning with those people?”
Crayson’s heart hammered in his chest, and the palms he had placed on his knees unconsciously clenched in anxiety. He thought that if he did everything behind her back, she wouldn’t find out anything, but who knew that she had bumped into so many things.
Nevertheless, on the 28th, when Crayson saw Veronica, he had already sensed something amiss, but since she didn’t say anything, he didn’t care to bring it up, either.
“Are you going to tell me the truth now?” she inquired aggressively.
