"Hey, hey. Look...”
Yvonne pointed in front and turned to say to Veronica, "There is someone running after the person you have no interest in."
Although Yvonne was usually quite clueless, she could actually tell that Matthew was interested in Veronica.
Yvonne shook her head. "Gosh, he's such a great guy, so why aren't you interested in him?"
Meanwhile, Veronica rolled her eyes at Yvonne. "Compared to the guy who proposed to you, he's totally no match for that person."
"So, do you find him too poor ?"
"Go away! What do you mean by that?! What I wanted to put forward is that there is no point in forcefully making things work out in a relationship. After all, if you compare this with your situation, the guy who proposed to you can be considered a golden boy, and yet you have no interest in him."
After Veronica had said that, she lifted her head to see that Ruka had already clutched Matthew’s arm and the two of them made their way inside together.
For some reason, Veronica felt quite displeased to see Ruka—that conniving and schemeful woman—so close to Matthew.
Yvonne affectionately hitched her hand around Veronica's arm, and the two of them entered the banquet hall as well.
After the two of them entered the hall, a Land Rover arrived at the hotel.
The car door was opened and Xavier stepped out of the car.
After suffering injuries at the warehouse the last time, Xavier had been recuperating from his injuries in the hospital the entire time. Fortunately, the gunshot wound he had suffered was on the upper part of his right knee, and there were no bone injuries, so he was able to be discharged from the hospital in such a short time.
After all, this was just a minor injury to him that could be overcome by tolerating it.
However, Melissa was not as fortunate as he was. She had sustained gunshot wounds on both legs, and one of the gunshots had shattered her meniscus on one leg quite badly.
Right now, she was receiving conservative treatment at the hospital, and if her condition worsened, there was a high chance that she would end up walking with a limp in the future.
Xavier shut the car door and instinctively reached out to straighten his necktie. Just as he was about to walk off and leave the parking lot, someone got out of a car and approached him from the side.
"Young Master Xavier."
Tiffany, who had been waiting there for quite some time, got out of the back of another car. "I've been waiting for you for quite some time." She spoke up frankly.
As soon as Xavier saw that it was Tiffany making her way toward him, he narrowed his eyes. "Miss Larson, why do you want to see me?"
Several days ago, Tiffany told the press that she had been kidnapped by Matthew's enemy. Although that was just an excuse that she had come up with to explain the situation to the others, right now, with her standing in front of him, it was quite clear that she was clueless about the truth.
However, this was as far from the truth as it was.
Although Tiffany didn't have the ability to hide the truth, her father— Floch—had arranged for some men to investigate this matter in detail. He had found out that the mastermind of this incident was Xavier's sister, Melissa.
Initially, Tiffany found this hard to believe, but after that, Conrad visited her frequently, so she beat around the bush and sneakily got a confirmation from Conrad.
At that point, she realized that Melissa was the one who had sabotaged her.
However, Tiffany refused to let things slide.
Prior to this, Melissa and Veronica were very close friends, so it was quite likely that Veronica had played a role in sowing discord, or perhaps it was quite likely that Veronica had cajoled Melissa into making that decision.
Tiffany held a limited edition Hermes bag in her arms and approached Xavier. "Young Master Xavier, I'm here to see you because I wanted to discuss a collaboration with you."
She had stayed out of the public eye for the past half a month, and now that she appeared in public, she seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight. She had an unhealthy pallor, but with some makeup on, she looked quite healthy with rosy cheeks.
"A collaboration?"
