Chapter 154

Skyler was so startled by Veronica‘s sudden appearance that he nearly lost his grip on the wine bottle. Matt‘s such a badass! He‘s really keeping the woman as a mistress. Since he‘s already keeping her as a mistress, why would he drink like a fish? What is he acting so mawkish for?

Keeping silent as usual, Caleb looked Veronica up and down without saying a word, whereas Skyler put

down the wine bottle, sized her up with an evil leer, and flirted, “Wow, what a pretty babe we‘ve got here.”

Having met Tiffany in person, they had to admit that Tiffany did have the mild disposition and easy

manner of a well–bred young lady from a respectable family. On top of being gentle and demure, Tiffany

exuded the qualities of a pampered and refined young lady of note. This woman, on the other hand, was

dressed plainly. Despite her striking resemblance to Tiffany, she had a coldly elegant air about her that

made her attractive somehow.

“I‘m asking you who you guys are! How did you get in here without permission?” Veronica asked while

looking around, but she didn‘t see Matthew anywhere.

Folding his arms across his chest in a raffish manner, Skyler motioned at the door, saying, “I walked in

here, of course. The door‘s right there.”

“Isn‘t that bullsh*t? Could you have crawled in here?” Veronica gave Skyler a disdainful look. “Who are

you guys looking for?”

Skyler‘s curiosity was piqued by the woman. He couldn‘t help but joke, “Hey, babe, isn‘t your attitude a

little too much? We‘re sworn friends with Matthew, so that attitude of yours won‘t do.”

Veronica shot back, “What kind of attitude do you want, then? Do you want me to worship you and make

offerings to you like you‘re a god or something?” What a lunatic! As expected, birds of a feather flock

together. Matthew‘s buddies are like him; they‘re condescending, as though they‘re anxious to be spoiled by people all over the world. He‘s simply nuts.

Skyler didn‘t expect Veronica to talk back to him. Dumbstruck at first, he then looked back at Caleb and

couldn‘t hide his amusement. “Ah, you‘re quite interesting, babe. Wanna consider making friends with

me?” He raised an eyebrow at her with interest.

Veronica shot a scornful look at him. “Cozying up to me like a toady right now after talking down to me

just a moment ago, huh? What a quick change of attitude.” With that, she turned toward Matthew‘s room

without bothering to continue entertaining such a frivolous man.

Skvier was quite slippant on most occasions, but he had never been dissed like this by a woman besore.

Inwardly displeased, he decided to pretend to teach this fiery tempered woman some manners, so he

grabbed her shoulder, saying, “Stop right there! Take back what you said just now, babe, or I‘m gonna kill

you.”

Veronica paused in her tracks before turning her head slightly to give Skyler a : disdainful look out of the

corner of her eye. “You‘re the one who showed me how to be a toady and a stuck–up snob at the same

time. You‘re condescending to me one moment and playing up to me the next. Weren‘t you the one who

said those words yourself? If somebody has to take back what they said, you‘re the one who‘s gonna do

it.”

Rendered speechless by Veronica‘s words, Skyler was simmering with anger. After all, when had he ever

been trifled with like this by a woman? He felt that he had been challenged. F*ck, to think that I‘d be

challenged by a woman! “I‘m gonna count to three. If you don‘t apologize to me, I‘ll make you crawl out

of here!” he warned in a stern voice.

Caleb looked at Skyler before turning to look meaningfully at Veronica. After raising his eyebrows with

interest, he settled back on the sofa right away, folding his arms across his chest–while watching the

man and the woman with great interest.

“Get off me!” Veronica warned in displeasure.

“Three…”

“Let go of me!”

“Two…”

Skyler was still counting, but he didn‘t notice that Veronica‘s little face had darkened in anger with deep

furrows in her brow. The next instant, she grabbed the hand he placed on her shoulder and threw him

over her shoulder right away with one swift movement, flinging him heavily onto the ground with a loud

thud.

Skyler felt like the world had spun around him. Before he could realize what had happened, he had been

flung onto the ground by Veronica without the opportunity to resist. “Hiss…” he gasped in pain while

boiling with rage. “Damn it! Didn‘t Matt say you‘re from a remote backwater place or something? Why

would you know some self–defense? Ouch, that fall almost killed me…”

“That‘s a lot of nonsense. Is someone from a remote backwater place supposed to know nothing? You‘re

simply nuts!” Veronica let out a snort. “What an idiot.”

Auhe sight of the scene, Caleb couldn‘t help but laugh inconsiderately. “Pffft…” Unlike Skyler, he found

this icy–looking woman quite impressive. All of a sudden, he more or less understood why Matthew

would be interested in this woman.

Veronica withdrew her gaze and stepped over Skyler, who was lying on the ground… Just as she was

heading toward Matthew‘s bedroom, his bedroom door suddenly opened.

Stunned, the little lady stood in place without moving.

Matthew was drunk, but he had been woken by the loud noise in the living room long ago thanks to his

vigilance. He merely lay still in bed, but when he heard a dull thud, he came out of the room, worried. He

opened the room door, only to see Skyler lying on the ground as Veronica stepped over him. This

woman... she really wouldn‘t let anyone bully her, eh? His lips curled into a faint smile as a flicker of

amusement flashed across his eyes.

Skyler complained, “F*ck, Matt, you came out at last! Aren‘t you gonna teach your woman some

manners? She attacked me physically despite me being your buddy. Ouch, it hurts like hell.” Of the four

sworn buddies, Skyler was the weakest at fighting, but not even he expected that he would be knocked

flat by a woman one day.

Just then, however, Veronica said coldly, “You‘re home? It‘s nothing, then. I thought your home had been

broken into. You guys go ahead and chat. I‘m leaving.” Then, she turned around and left right away.

“Hold on a minute,” Matthew called out to her. Seeing that the woman was leaving, he asked, “Is our deal

yesterday no longer valid today?”

Startled, Veronica looked back at Matthew. “Can‘t you be a decent human being, Matthew? Yeah, we‘ve

got a deal whereby I‘m supposed to teach you how to play games. But the normal working hours are

eight hours per day, and it‘s been eight hours from the moment I taught you at about 12:00AM yesterday

until now.” With a straight face, she pointed at her wristwatch, which showed that it was exactly 9:30AM.

“What the hell, Matt? I‘m an expert at—” Skyler said to Matthew while massaging his aching butt, only to

be silenced mid–sentence at once by Matthew‘s piercing glare.

“You went to sleep at about 4:00AM yesterday,” Matthew said.

Veronica replied, “Well, 1 did go to sleep at the time, but you didn‘t wake me up either. You‘re the person

in charge here. Since you didn‘t wake me up despite knowing that I was sleeping, it meant you‘d silently

given consent. So, the hours

didn‘t conflict with our deal. Goodbye!” She turned around and picked up several bags of clothes before

strutting out of the room under the three men‘s stare.

However, as soon as she reached the door, she saw the delivery guy from One Piece Restaurant

showing up outside the door. “Good morning. Here‘s the breakfast you‘ve ordered.” The delivery guy

handed a large food insulation box directly to her in a deferential manner.

Veronica was startled, but she couldn‘t stop her stomach from rumbling just then. After giving it some

thought, she took the food insulation box from the delivery guy.
