Chapter 639 Kicked Out
After that, their call ended. Beep, beep…
As she listened to the dial tone, the phone slipped out of her hand and fell on the bed. Veronica covered her face with both hands. She did not make a sound, but there were tears dripping from her chin, and her shoulders were trembling.
A few more days passed, and there was still no news from Matthew. Veronica, who was in the throes of grief, turned her sorrow into motivation and was in the process of improving her emotions. When Luke knocked on the door of the ward and came in, he saw Veronica, dressed in a hospital gown, standing in front of the window looking into the distance, extremely quiet.
“Mrs. Kings, we just received news that Conrad held a shareholders’ meeting at Spinfluence Group to announce that Matthew has disappeared and he will take over the company’s affairs on his behalf for the time being,” he informed Veronica about the company’s affairs.
However, she answered calmly, “I understand.” Luke was shocked into silence. He could not understand why she reacted this way. Sensing that Luke hadn’t left, she turned around and looked at him indifferently. “Even if those old foxes at Spinfluence Group knew that Matthew was missing, they can’t do as they please.
After all, if the company’s profits are lost, so would theirs. Conrad was injured, but he went to the company in a hurry before his injuries were healed, so he must have brought a big project with him, or it would not have been possible to easily convince those old foxes.”
In any case, Conrad still had Anthony behind his back, and along with his abilities, it was a piece of cake for him to take over Matthew’s position if he wanted to.
As he listened to Veronica’s explanation, Luke felt a little amazed. He hadn’t expected her to be able to predict things so well. It’s just that…
“Are we just going to let Conrad take over the boss’ position without doing anything about it?” Luke asked, worried that one day Matthew would come back and there would be no place for him in Spinfluence Group.
“What about Thomas?” Veronica changed the topic without replying to him.
“Hmph!” At the mention of Thomas, Luke said furiously, “His brother betrayed us and killed…” As soon as the words arrived at the tip of his tongue, he was worried that it would affect Veronica’s emotions and immediately changed his words. “That guy is still being locked up.”
“Bring him here,” she instructed. “I… don’t think I can do that. He is still a major suspect, and if he hurts you again, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to the boss.”
“If Thomas wanted to kill me, he would’ve done it at Primrose Residence. There’s no need for him to wait until now. He is loyal to Matt, and I trust him. Bring him over to see me,” she said once again.
Saying that, she walked toward the bed, but Luke didn’t respond for a long time. Veronica knitted her eyebrows, her cold eyes sweeping over at him, carrying an invisible sense of oppression. At the sight, Luke immediately nodded and agreed, “Yes, Mrs. Kings, I’ll bring him over immediately.”
A few hours later, Thomas showed up in the ward. He was wearing a clean suit and his hair was sleek and shiny, but his face had a sullen disheveled look that could not be hidden. Luke walked in with him and stood at the door, as if concerned for her safety.
“Please leave. I want to talk to him,” Veronica said. After a brief moment of hesitation, Luke turned around and left. “Come here and sit down. I have something to tell you,” she instructed, pointing to the bedside chair.
In the past, Thomas was spirited and vigorous, and most likely because he had been working alongside Matthew for a long time, he carried himself with a sense of overbearance as well. But now that he had received a huge blow, he had lost a lot of weight and looked extremely disheveled.
He raised his head and looked at her with bloodshot eyes. “They all said that my brother had killed Matthew, but I don’t believe it. My brother would never do such a thing.”
