Chapter 540 ‘Yvonne’s’ Returned to the Country

Yvonne looked back at Conrad, and upon seeing how he calmly and gracefully sat on the couch, she immediately knew that the two men behind her had stabbed her in the back. “You… I treat you both well. Why have you betrayed me?”

Her eyes were wide and red from anger. Hearing that, Jerry and Eric looked at each other before the yellow-haired Jerry said, “In your people’s words, ‘human beings die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food’. Mr. Conrad pays us dozens of times more than you do.”

“Tell me how much he is paying you.” She then added with a roar, “I will double that!”

The brothers smiled at each other and shook their heads. “We have already betrayed you anyway. We will be marching into death if we go back on our words now.” Eric sighed.

They knew there was no turning back from the moment they made their choice as they could already imagine the consequences of going back to Yvonne’s side after betraying her.

Seemingly on the verge of losing her mind, she turned back and looked at Conrad as she hissed, “You despicable man!”

“I am despicable? No. You are the one who went back on your word.” He tapped the ash off the cigarette between his fingers. “I gave you your chance. You were the one who didn’t appreciate it.”

After he finished saying that, he threw a speaking look to the man behind Yvonne.

All she felt was a pain in her neck before her vision went black, and she fell to the floor.

Another bodyguard had gotten himself ready to catch the child in her arms right when she went limp.

…

The next day at Twilight Condominium, by the time Veronica woke up, Matthew had already prepared her some prawn porridge.

It still brought her immense joy even though he always made porridge or simple sandwiches for their breakfast every day.

These days, however, she had not been eating much because of her loss of appetite.

“Come. Eat the prawn porridge I cooked for you. I will bring you a glass of hot milk.”

Dressed in casual clothes and an apron, Matthew had rolled his sleeves up to his elbow, and was holding a spatula in his hand. He looked like a chef who prepared state banquets.

However, he was way more handsome than a real chef who prepared state banquets. His current outfit especially gave him that extra touch that made Veronica drool.
