Chapter 374 To Set up the Five Men With the Ladies

After Veronica revealed the secret to Matthew, she shushed him before she turned around and walked toward Hendrey. “It is cold outside, Hendrey. Let’s go in.”

“Alright.” Hendrey lightly nodded, but he started to head in the direction of his car’s trunk. “Let me go get something first.”

“Oh—I am just happy that you are here. You didn’t have to bring anything,” Veronica politely protested while following him.

As the trunk opened, it coincidentally gave them the privacy from being seen by others.

While carrying one thing after another, Hendrey suddenly asked, “Are you the ‘man’ that Matthew likes that made news a while ago?”

This was merely a guess on his part at first.

But now that he unexpectedly met Matthew during his visit to Veronica’s house, all the pieces of the puzzle seem to finally fit together.

“Ha! Clever boy.” Veronica bashfully giggled without any intention to hide the truth.

She couldn’t help the blood rush to her face whenever she thought of how what happened between her and Matthew in the fitting room was exposed on the news.

Even though that incident was only verbally made known to the media by the shop assistant, who had later came forward to ‘apologize’ by saying that she was only talking nonsense for the publicity, everyone knew that the shop assistant was merely covering up the truth.

“Veronica, do you really trust Matthew Kings so much? You and him are polar opposites. You will be the one who ends up being crushed to pieces in the end,” Hendrey said worriedly.

For some reason, Veronica suddenly felt that Hendrey’s attitude toward her from the moment he got out of the car had been somewhat unusual.

Especially that gaze of his. His eyes almost seemed like they were on fire when they looked at her. It almost felt like he… liked her.

On top of that, she didn’t seem to be the only one who thought so. Even Matthew was treating Hendrey like a love rival.

No, it is impossible, Veronica quietly denied. I saw with my own eyes Hendrey and Tiffany being together. He must be extra caring toward me because he’s my first love.

“What about Tiffany? Do you trust her that much?” Veronica gradually lost her smile, and she solemnly added, “Have you ever thought that you will be the one getting the short end of the stick when it all ends?”
