Chapter 640 Taking Over the Company
Thomas stubbornly insisted on his opinion, but he neglected the impact this matter had on Veronica. After he finished speaking, he noticed a hint of pain surfacing on her face, and only then did he shut his mouth.
“I believe you.” Veronica leaned against the headboard and pointed at the chair beside her. “Come here and sit down.”
Her words were a resounding command and not a pleasant ‘invitation’ at all. With his head hanging down, Thomas trudged over slowly and sat on the chair.
Veronica picked up the laptop on the table and played a video before handing it to him. “Take a look at this.”
The video’s content showed the meeting at Spinfluence Group. The more he watched, the angrier he became, and finally his hands turned white as he gripped the laptop, producing a cracking sound at his knuckles.
“It’s completely expected that Conrad, who has been coveting Spinfluence Group for a long time, would do this to Matt.” She retrieved the laptop and put it on the table, calmly looking at Thomas. “There is definitely more than one company that has contributed to Matt standing at where he is today. Since you’re his close friend, I want you to tell me now, what other properties does he have under his name besides Spinfluence Group? Where are they? Who controls them?”
Her questions were completely unexpected. He originally thought that she had called him over today to interrogate him about Matthew’s ‘death,’ but he didn’t expect these questions at all.
He furrowed his eyebrows, his dark pupils filled with amazement. “How can you be so… calm when Young Master Matthew is in trouble?”
Veronica shot him a cold glance and closed her eyes, hooking the fingernails of her crossed index fingers as she inclined her head to look out of the window. Then, she let out an inaudible sigh. “If he’s alive, Skyler and the others are doing their best to find him, and will certainly find him; if he’s dead, all I can do is to protect what can be protected, as well as the children in my belly.”
“Can facing the news of his survival by being depressed solve the problem? If it can, I think that it’s a way of letting it out. Besides, why should I pretend to be strong? I am now his wife and the mother of his children. No matter what, I will do what I have to do.”
Although she was strong, she was still a woman. When those things happened all of a sudden, it was as if a storm had hit, and her sturdy fortress collapsed in a flash, shattering her blissful family and breaking the ‘boundary’ that had put her at ease, leaving her drowning in the sea, stormy and alone. The only thing she could do was to remain strong—to live firmly until she could usher in the last light.
Thomas looked at the woman in front of him in astonishment. His initial disdain and aversion toward her gradually disappeared as he changed his views of her and slowly chose to respect her, so much so that at this moment, he looked at her with admiration. No wonder Young Master Matthew dotes on her so much. No one would dislike a woman who’s so dazzling. After all, she could act spoiled when she should, be arrogant when necessary, and be resilient when needed.
“Mrs. Kings, thank you for believing in me.”
He found it ironic that those who used to call him their buddy thought of him as a traitor as well because of his brother’s betrayal, but the woman he used to look down on went against the majority and put absolute trust in him instead.
“You don’t have to thank me. I just believe in Matt’s insight,” she said in an indifferent tone.
“What about my brother?” Thomas asked reflexively.
At his words, a sad look flitted past Veronica’s eyes, and she avoided the question. “Let’s talk about Matt’s other businesses.”
