However... She had no idea Matthew would admit it himself!
It turned out that the last time Monica's son was injured and hospitalized, she contacted Skyler to make arrangements for his care. At that time, Monica happened to see a video of Sasha hugging Matthew's neck on Skyler's phone. The reason why Matthew did not decline Sasha's hug at that time was not because they were childhood friends.
It was because...
He had been in love with Sasha since the beginning!
As Matthew stated, he desired to marry Veronica solely to enrage Sasha and exact revenge!
"Do you still have no idea why I abandoned you back then, Matt?"
"Because... Because you and I were both men and the world would never have accepted us back then. I don't want you, the outstanding heir of the Kings Family, to suffer with me. People chastised me, so I left Bloomstead and traveled abroad for my SRS to transition to a woman. I even changed my name and last name just to be with you," Sasha said, her voice choking.
"But you... But you eventually decided to stay with this woman. You... Oh... Have you thought about my feelings? Matt, you... You're so selfish.... Sob..."
"Are you aware of how painful the surgery is for me? I can't accept who I am now numerous times, but you're the only one who encourages me to keep going... I'm in physical pain, but your relationship with another woman is turning my world upside down. And you used to say you didn't like women. W-Why did you suddenly change your mind? Why... Sob..." Sasha burst into tears.
When Veronica heard the unexpected truth, her entire body froze as she was shocked and heartbroken.
It turned out...
It turned out that Sasha Claude was of the third gender!
Veronica questioned the veracity of this matter. However, when Sasha confided in her about her past misery and pain, Matthew's hand on her shoulder tightened slightly, causing Veronica to feel the true reaction of pain.
The man remained quiet at this point and the silence in the living room was deafening. Save for Sasha's sobbing and the sound of wine pouring, there was nothing but silence.
Veronica slowly opened her eyes, straightened her body and tilted her head to look at Matthew, whose handsome face was flustered. The next second, the wine glass in his hand slipped from his grasp.
A full glass of red wine was spilled on his legs and the glass shattered as it landed on the ground.
"Roni, you—"
"Is everything you said true?" Veronica interrupted him in the middle of his sentence, questioning him with a gloomy expression.
His brows furrowed and he did not answer her question. However, silence... was a covert admission.
She cocked her head and cast a glance at Skyler, only to see him turning around to cover her face and avoid her gaze with a guilty conscience.
"He never loved you at all. You should... be out of the game automatically," Sasha said to Veronica with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Ah." Veronica only felt a suffocating, knife-cutting pain in her heart. She returned her gaze to meet Matthew's complex emotional gaze before standing up to leave.
"I'm sorry," Matthew responded as he grabbed her hand.
An apology will never be enough. Veronica shoved his hand forcefully and slapped him in the face while exclaiming, "Matthew Kings! You b*stard! You really disgust me!"
Yes. Disgust.
