Interview?
Veronica's heart tightened, and a bad feeling arose.
The reporters were always interested in her because she was Tiffany's younger sister, which was why she had always kept a low profile.
But this time, the incident happened suddenly, and she was worried about the company's employees, so she took the risk to go to the office. In the end, she was still pursued by reporters.
Veronica didn't want things to be publicized, as she was worried that her adoptive parents in the countryside would be worried when they found out about it, so she said to her employees, "If you want to resign, go to the finance department. Those who want to stay and continue working will get double pay this month and half a month off with pay. Remember, as long as I'm around, your salary will never be reduced!"
With that, she gestured to her assistant. "Help me keep them out. I'm leaving now."
Shirley Wilson was Veronica's newly recruited assistant. After a week of contact with Veronica, she still admired her a lot, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Veronica. You can go first. Leave this to me."
"Thank you."
Veronica patted Shirley on the shoulder, then slipped away through the back door.
After leaving the office, Veronica had nowhere to go. She reached out and touched the access card in her pocket, then finally chose to walk to Twilight Condominium to avoid being pursued.
Now that Matthew's affairs had been exposed by the media personnel who had sneaked into the wedding, not only had she become the target of reporters, she was also afraid that it had angered the Larsons. For all she knew, at some point, she might be assassinated by a killer sent by the Larson Family.
For half an hour, she walked the streets alone while wearing a face mask.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Taking out her phone, she saw that it was Matthew calling.
"Hello? Matt—" "I've sent you a location. Come over right away."
"What? A location? Where are we going—" Beep, beep...
He had only said a couple of words over the phone, and he didn't even give her a chance to finish her sentence.
Veronica couldn't help but feel a little irritable listening to the beeping sounds. She opened WhatsApp and saw the location Matthew had sent. After hesitating for a while, she stopped a taxi and went to the specified location.
It was an abandoned factory on the outskirts.
"What is he doing here?"
As Veronica muttered to herself, she paid the taxi driver, then walked out of the car.
When she approached the factory warehouse, she saw several cars parked outside the entrance, one of which belonged to Matthew, and there was another car with a license plate that she was familiar with.
It's... Xavier's. Why is he here?
An inexplicable sense of tension suddenly emerged, and she was stunned for a moment. Then, she accelerated her pace and trotted into the warehouse.
"Ah... Sob..."
"Sob, sob... Don't hit my brother. Sob, sob... Don't hit him..."
"Xavier, are you okay? Xavier? Sob, sob..."
As soon as she walked to the entrance of the warehouse, she heard the wailing and painful cries, but the voice was particularly familiar.
When Veronica walked in, she saw Matthew dressed in a suit, looking like a gang leader. He had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and a cigarette in the other. Smoking indifferently, he stood in front of two rows of bodyguards who were standing side by side.
On the other side was Melissa being held down by two bodyguards, who were gripping her arms and pressing her to the ground.
