The Life Of A Billionaires Wife

Chapter 44 Don’t Be Like That, Matthew

“Madam, let’s talk about that another time, okay? You need to rest for now,” Veronica urged. Despite feeling conflicted, she couldn’t help but feel proud to be on the receiving end of such affections.

Upon hearing Veronica’s words, she immediately corrected her, “Don’t call me Madam anymore! Call me Grandma!”

Veronica let out a chuckle as she looked at the hard-headed Elizabeth. “Alright, Grandma,” she said with a smile. “Please get some rest. I’ll be leaving now.”

Matthew, too, had an anxious look on his face as he reminded, “The doctor said you have to keep your talking to a minimum and rest as much as you can.”

Unlike the gentleness Elizabeth had shown Veronica just seconds ago, she was impatiently waving Matthew off. “Okay, okay. I got it. Now get out.”

Without saying another word, Matthew stepped out of the ward before closing the door behind him. As soon as he caught sight of Veronica waiting for the elevator in the corridor, he strode toward her and pulled her back before she could enter the elevator that had just arrived.

“What the hell are you doing, Matthew Kings?!” she growled as she struggled to loosen her arm from his grip.

He then quietly dragged her to the stairway and pinned her against the corner of the wall. “What do you want? Why did you approach Grandma?” he spat.

Seeing that she was being accused, she fumed, “What do you mean I approached her? You are delusional!”

She immediately brandished her phone and thrusted it into Matthew’s face. The video of her heroic actions was currently playing on the screen of her phone. “Take a proper look. This is a video I took when I saved her. I didn’t even know that it was your grandmother before I flipped her on her back.” Then, she continued sarcastically, “Am I a god or deity to you? Do you think I can foresee the future or something?”

He merely took a look at the screen before his eyes went back to staring at Veronica.

His long, elegant fingers firmly grabbed her chin and tilted her head up so that she was looking directly into his dark eyes. “Listen,” he coldly warned. “Watch out for whatever line you can and cannot cross now that you are part of the family.” He then inched closer to her. “If I were to find out that you are planning something behind Grandma’s back, I’ll make sure you live the rest of your life wishing you were dead.”
