Matthew ignored Sasha; instead, he stared straight at Veronica, waiting for her to answer.
It was this exact attitude of his that made Veronica feel even more upset.
That interrogative look on his face was as if he wouldn't let her go if she couldn't give him a reasonable explanation.
In the face of something so familiar and deeply engraved into her mind, she couldn't help but think about what happened that day in Qurra Mountain.
She thought about how passionate they were and the heartache she was feeling right now.
She stared at the man unblinkingly; her fingers that held the bag began to tremble slightly.
Then, she discretely took a deep breath, kept her emotions in check, and put on an indifferent front before smiling at his charming face. "Am I right?"
After she said that, she added, "Bro."
"Apologize!" Matthew ordered, without leaving room for argument.
This cold attitude brought Veronica back to when they first met; he was extremely oppressive without a care for others' circumstances.
Besides, he was always aloof, ordering people around.
"No way!" She spat out two words bluntly.
Sasha noticed the tense atmosphere and took Matthew's hand. "Matt, I'm fine. You don't need to get Roni to apologize to me. In all honesty, I should be the one apologizing to her.
I just didn't want Roni to spread what happened in the western restaurant today. Maybe I misspoke and made
her angry."
In the beginning, after Veronica and Matthew had broken up, he only allowed Sasha to come over as his fake lover.
Although he did not tell her the reason for their breakup, Sasha knew that he loved Veronica deeply.
However, the three coincidentally met at the western restaurant earlier today, and Veronica happened to see Matthew standing up for Sasha.
So, Sasha wanted to take this opportunity to visit Veronica in the middle of the night to tell her to stay away from him.
But who would have thought that Matthew had somehow found out about it and come over as well?
As Sasha was talking to Veronica just now, Sasha noticed him coming over. Although she was surprised, a plan brewed in her head. She deliberately angered Veronica to the point that she would slap her.
Sasha was confident that since Matthew was the one that initiated the breakup, it wouldn't be weird for Veronica to be angry at her. This was a rare opportunity to sow discord between Veronica and Matthew.
It was all going well until now.
At this moment, when Sasha felt the tension between the two, she couldn't help but feel afraid.
That was especially so when she saw how ruthless he was toward Veronica, and she realized that he would be even more heartless toward her once he left.
"Don't test me!" Matthew said.
"Vo, what's going on?"
Suddenly, Conrad showed up before the trio. He saw the confrontation between Matthew and Veronica, and his gaze darted to Sasha, who was standing behind Matthew, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Matthew, as the brother of Veronica, how can you side with outsiders to bully her?" Conrad said.
It was no wonder that Matthew and Veronica were rarely seen together in the past days. They appeared to have broken up, and the reason behind that was Sasha Claude.
As far as he knew, Sasha was a transgender woman.
Matthew really had a broad palette!
Nevertheless, although she had undergone gender reassignment surgery, she was still unable to have children.
With that, as long as he managed to find Yvonne’s child, how could he still be scared about being unable to be the patriarch of the Kings' Family?
Conrad's mind was filled with these thoughts.
At this moment, Veronica glanced at him and snorted. "What 'brother'?
What could be more important than his lover?"
Her attitude toward Matthew became more callous as anger burned in her heart. In the end, she couldn't help but say, "There's one way for me to apologize to Sasha. Only...over my dead body."
