For a split second, Veronica secretly felt sorry for Matthew. But what could she do?
Unfortunately, she couldn't explain it on Matthew's behalf yet.
"That's very unlikely. We just have different values. And it was I who asked for a divorce."
The only thing Veronica could do was avoid accusing Matthew and clear up the misunderstanding.
"Really?" Half-believing what Veronica had said, Ruka sipped her tea.
"Of course." Veronica nodded firmly.
"Think about it, I grew up in the countryside, so our habits are very different. At first, I didn't realize it, but we really are not compatible."
"There are explanations for why two people cannot get along. But different values and lifestyle differences are unacceptable reasons," said Ivana, who was far from convinced.
The already-married Monica added, "I think I can understand. Like my ex-husband, we didn't discover any incompatibilities before marriage, but afterward, many issues cropped up that really brought our underlying problems to light."
As she spoke, her gaze moved from Veronica to behind her, her face surprised.
The other three noticed Monica's odd expression and turned to look behind them.
It would have been better if they hadn't looked, but when they did, they were astounded.
A handsome man and a stunning woman emerged from the lift, exuding an extraordinary aura, as though they were a perfect match.
"Isn't that Mr. Kings?" Ivana's eyes were wide with shock, and she was speechless.
Ruka's face darkened as she glanced at Veronica. "Is this what you meant by not having aligned values?"
Then Monica added, "I-I take back what I said earlier."
The three friends of Veronica were enraged.
Veronica and Matthew suddenly locked eyes, startled by the encounter.
