It was inevitable to feel lonely if only the two of them lived in the villa.
"Alright, I'll follow your lead." Matthew nodded in agreement, finding Veronica's idea more reasonable.
At that moment, Larry called, "Demoness, what's happening? Did that playboy Matthew dump you? Where is he? I'll find him and teach him a lesson!"
Veronica chuckled softly. "No, no, no, let me explain. Matt and I are having a fake divorce. Remember when you said you wanted to help me enter the film industry..."
As she explained the reason for their fake divorce to Larry, she warned him not to tell anyone.
Meanwhile, Matthew received a call from Skyler. "What's up?" Matthew answered the phone, asking.
On the other end of the line, Skyler asked anxiously, "Matt, where's Shirley? Can you ask her to pick up the phone? She hasn't responded to me since last night, and I'm a bit worried."
"Didn't Shirley leave with you?" Matthew's eyebrows slightly furrowed, instantly sensing a bad omen.
"No, she didn't. Yesterday I received a call from my mother and left. Shirley didn't leave with me."
Upon hearing that Shirley was not at Pinewoods Villa, Skyler immediately panicked, "If Shirley isn't at the villa, where did she go?"
"Don't worry, let me check the surveillance footage from the villa here, and I'll contact you later." Matthew hung up the phone.
Veronica, who was chatting with Larry, noticed that something was wrong. "Sorry, I have something to do now. I'll call you back later," she immediately told Larry.
She ended the call and looked at Matthew, "Shirley didn't leave with Skyler?"
"No. Drew said his mother called him yesterday and asked him to come back, but Shirley didn't leave with him," Matthew replied.
Matthew stood up and took Veronica's hand, "Let's go and check the surveillance."
Veronica stood up and walked with him towards the exit of the lobby. "If she didn't leave with Skyler, where would she go?" she murmured.
Vaguely, Veronica felt that Shirley must have encountered something. Otherwise, she would not have suddenly disappeared.
