Chapter 1046 Returning Home

Matthew enjoyed that feeling a great deal.

Conrad felt his resentment boil after being violently treated by the couple. So, he gave in to his impulses and wanted to hit Veronica.

His leg came flying, but Veronica was faster and slammed her heel on his thigh before he could even touch her.

Even though Conrad knew some martial arts, it wasn’t comparable to Veronica’s skill.

“Ugh!”

Faced with Veronica’s swift counterattack, Conrad lost his balance as his thigh slid forward. In the end, he fell and landed in a split.

Crack!

The sounds of bone cracking could be heard, and Conrad’s pants tore apart. Then, he grunted in pain as his hands flew to his crotch. His eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead popped.

“Veronica, you… f*cking…”

Conrad was in utter agony. He recalled when Veronica broke his manhood. He almost lost the chance to ever call himself a man and had to go through surgery to fix it. Now, the split position he was in caused him excruciating pain, which pierced through him, making it hard to breathe. “I don’t care how powerful you are now. You shouldn’t be so conceited in front of Matt. With your skills, you can’t even beat me, let alone Matt!” Veronica stated before turning around to Matthew and grabbing his hand, “Let’s go.” “Okay.” Matthew looked at her before smiling gently and followed her to the car. Then, the car’s engine roared to life and left the residence. They didn’t even spare Conrad a glance as they departed. Two cars were going down the mountain, with Matthew driving in the first car and Veronica in the passenger seat while the nanny was in the second car with Ada and Alan.

“You looked very cool just now.”

Matthew glanced sideways at Veronica with a handsome smirk filled with love as he drove.

Veronica leaned in the passenger seat with her gaze forward and sighed, “You’ve helped me out all this time while we were in the Hidden Clan. If it weren’t for your involvement there, Conrad wouldn’t have the upper hand now. I can’t bear to see him acting so snobby before you. He needs to be taught a lesson.”

She didn’t hit Conrad just for Matthew. A part of it was because of Yvonne too.

Matthew chuckled lightly but didn’t reply.

However, Veronica continued, “I hate Conrad too. Yvonne was tricked by him and lost everything. I’m sure she will take her revenge on him one day!”

Then, she couldn’t help but miss Yvonne and wondered if she was doing fine. It had been more than a year since they last saw each other.

“You reap what you sow,” Matthew tried comforting Veronica.

Still, that was all to it, as there was another saying about good people dying young while evil people live forever.

After over an hour, they stopped by a store for Veronica to get a new sim card on their way to the Pinewoods Villa.

As she inserted the sim card into her phone and restarted her phone, numerous notifications poured in, and her phone kept buzzing.

‘Veronica, where the hell are you? Why aren’t you replying?!’

‘Give me a call when you see this message. I’m worried about you.’

‘Where are you? I’ve not seen you for more than two months.’

‘Roni, give Mom a callback. You said you’re on a trip for training. I can’t get a hold of you and am worried sick.’

Similar messages flooded her phone.
