"No worries, it's no big deal."
Skyler smiled sheepishly as he replied. His eyes were sharp as he studied Veronica, as if he was looking for any sort of hint.
All this while, he was muttering in his heart, fearing that she would be furious at what she saw on the video and break up with Matthew.
According to Matthew, he was still on a probation period of three months. Skyler was afraid that she would break up with Matthew if she found out about this.
Skyler did not dare to bring it up, let alone ask her.
Instead, he tilted his head and glanced at Monica, who was sitting on the side, sobbing with her head down.
Shirley was by her side, comforting Monica.
Seeing that the two of them didn't notice anything, Skyler leaned toward Veronica and asked in a low voice, "Roni, how are you and Matthew doing?"
He was frantically trying to test her to see her reaction before analyzing whether she had overheard what had just happened.
When she heard this, she was a little taken aback as she did not expect Matthew to share these things. However, he recalled that the two were very close, and it would make sense for him to do so.
"Although I do owe you, I don't think we know each other well enough for me to share about these," Veronica answered aloofly.
Skyler was at a loss for words.
D*mn it, she was ruthless!
"Hey, hey, hey. What about this? I'll trade my favor for an answer!" This deal was such a steal for Veronica.
"Just like that? Wouldn't you be at a loss?"
"No, I won't. Matthew's affairs are my topmost priority."
Skyler feared that his death day would be near if he accidentally ruined Matthew's love life.
"Oh. We're alright. We're still in a probationary period." Her answer was extremely perfunctory.
Skyler did not get the answer he wanted and asked again, "What do you think of Matthew right now?" "Your favor has been exchanged for an answer. Unfortunately, you've run out of favors," Veronica replied indifferently.
"Oh, hey, Roni, you've gone too far. I've rushed all the way here to help you. Aren't you being somewhat unkind?"
"Am I? I don't think so."
Veronica's red lips curved upwards slightly, and her shallow dimples could be seen. Her smile was enticing but also a little playful.
"You-”
Ding, ding, ding!
Just as Skyler wanted to question her further, he heard her phone ring.
Veronica reached out to take her phone. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, her face immediately sank, and she turned around to answer the phone.
Once the phone was connected, she did not speak as she quietly waited for the caller to talk.
"Veronica Murphy, you actually stood me up! Believe it or not, I will expose that shameful video of you and my brother to the Internet!” Melissa roared angrily.
Nevertheless, Veronica was wholly unmoved by her threat.
That was because she knew very well that one indulgence from her would lead to countless threats from Melissa as she became more unscrupulous.
"If you want to post it, feel free to do so. Could it be that you would listen to me if I told you not to put it on the Internet?" Veronica sneered. She felt that both Melissa and her brother, Xavier, were sc*mbags.
"Fine, I shall grant your wish."
After speaking, Melissa immediately hung up the phone.
