Veronica Murphy sank into her chair and let out a long sigh. “It’s a complicated story….
Some things are too intricate to explain in a few words, and Veronica Murphy’s face displayed her
helplessness.
“Then keep it brief,” Larry Freeman said, leaning against the dressing table with his arms crossed,
gazing down at her.
“Do you know Antheena?”
“Antheena? You mean… Flake Strat’s daughter?”
Larry Freeman’s heart skipped a beat, and his worries grew.
Veronica Murphy nodded. “Yes.”
With that response, Larry Freeman fell into deep thought. He locked eyes with Veronica Murphy,
tugged at his lips, and found himself speechless.
Observing his silence, Veronica Murphy sighed and gently brushed her red lips. “Are you wondering
why I offended Antheena?”
She answered her own question, saying, “Antheena is married to Xavier Crawford.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith those few words, Larry Freeman instantly understood. “I see.”
Larry Freeman was well aware of Xavier Crawford and Veronica Murphy’s affair.
However, he never expected that such a significant incident would occur simply because Xavier
Crawford was fond of Veronica Murphy.
Larry Freeman fell silent. He ran his hand through his hair and impatiently pulled a chair to sit down.
“This is a complicated situation.” He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and sat there
smoking.
“If Antheena was only targeting me, I wouldn’t be afraid. But now she’s retaliating against Matt, using
all sorts of dirty tricks, causing headaches for everyone.”
Veronica Murphy rested her elbow on the armrest of the chair, supporting her forehead. She felt
inexplicably annoyed.
“You and Matthew Kings announced your divorce to the public. Why is she still making things difficult
for him?” Larry Freeman couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“She said that because I have two children with him, as long as Matthew Kings falls, the two children
won’t have a good life either.”
“Is she trying to destroy your whole family?”
Larry Freeman furrowed his brow. “This woman is truly twisted.”
He flicked the cigarette ash into the trash can and tugged at the collar of his turtleneck sweater. Then
he asked, “Does he know?”
The ‘he’ he referred to naturally meant Matthew Kings. Veronica Murphy looked at herself in the mirror,
and her expression became somewhat desolate. “Antheena has targeted his company, so he naturally
knows. But he doesn’t know that Antheena has sent people to kill me. With his personality, if he knew, it
would only escalate the conflict.”
That was the real reason why Veronica Murphy had killed those four people in the warehouse that day.
“Mother Demon, oh Mother Demon, you’ve really messed up this time.”
Larry Freeman crossed his legs and rested his hand on his thigh, tapping his fingers intermittently. “Of
all the people to offend, you had to go and offend the daughter of the Black Ace Mob boss. I’m afraid
not even the gods can save you now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If they can’t save me…” Veronica Murphy looked at him, raising an eyebrow with a smirk. “Then when
it’s time for my funeral, make sure it’s grand and glorious. At least I’ll have a dignified death to show for
it.”
She teased.
“Well, at least you have a positive attitude about it.” Larry Freeman shook his head again, a look of
worry on his face as he sighed.
The two of them sat together and chatted for a while. Larry Freeman had just gone to find Sam
Symons, while Veronica Murphy continued with her makeup.
After learning about Veronica Murphy’s relationship with Larry Freeman, the makeup artist, Xiao Ke,
became even more gentle in her attitude towards her. It was only then that Veronica Murphy realized
that Xiao Ke was actually a big fan of Larry Freeman.
Meanwhile, Veronica Murphy was in the makeup room, getting ready, when someone knocked on the
door and walked in.
Since Veronica Murphy was in the middle of her makeup, she couldn’t turn around to see who it was.
She had to wait until the person approached closer before she could see them through the makeup
mirror. Surprisingly, it was… Mia Stuart.
