CHAPTER 1038 CONRAD IS FURIOUS
Eleanor smiled indifferently. Then, she looked at Matthew for a moment before landing her gaze on
Veronica. “Your husband hates me, Veronica,” she said while pointing at him.
“He just can’t stand your enthusiasm.” Veronica chuckled.
Although she knew Eleanor had feelings for Matthew, she was clear that it was in the past. Now,
Eleanor didn’t like Matthew. Thus, they treated her as a friend as well as their savior.
When Thomas and Yvette saw their interactions, they were surprised. However, they dared not ask any
questions. Mr. and Mrs. Kings treat Eleanor differently, they thought.
Just then, Shirley appeared in the living room. “Eleanor,” she called out. The mask she wore was big
enough to cover half of her face, so the scars on her nose weren’t noticeable.
“Hey.” Skyler wrapped his arm around Shirley and waved at Eleanor.

The loneliness in her heart slowly disappeared when she saw the familiar faces before her.
In the hidden clan, she was the most talented and famous person. However, now that she was in an
unfamiliar place, she had to get used to the different environment, which gave her lots of pressure and
challenges.
“Since you want to prepare a welcoming banquet for me, I want you to cook, Master,” said Eleanor.
Then, she walked past Matthew and entered the living room. “Can I look around your house,
Veronica?”
“Sure thing.” Veronica carried the baby and walked up the stairs. Then, she handed the baby to the
babysitter before leading Eleanor into the house.
After the women entered the living room, Caleb crossed his arms and stood before Matthew. “I must
say, Princess Eleanor is indeed beautiful. It looks like Veronica has a competitor,” he remarked
playfully.
Hearing his words, Matthew glanced at him coldly and uttered, “Get lost.”
“Understood.” Caleb gave him a thumbs up. “Drew, Miguel, let’s play poker. You too, Troy. After all, we
don’t have enough players since your boss is busy cooking for the ladies.”
“Okay,” Troy said without hesitation.
“Thomas, take Yvette with you and bring Old Mrs. Kings over,” Matthew ordered Thomas.
Soon, the usual quiet Pinewoods Villa became lively due to the crowd.
Yet, not everyone was happy.
At Spinfluence Group, Conrad immediately dialed the intercom when he saw the news on the TV. He
told his subordinates to check whether Matthew was dead or not. Soon, they returned with news that
Matthew was still alive. At that moment, Conrad swept his laptop to the ground in a fit of anger.
A loud crash sounded in the huge office room, and a cup shattered when it was dragged along with the

However, Conrad didn’t seem satisfied. He swept all the documents to the floor, wanting to unleash his
anger. Then, he kicked away the papers and computer that were on the floor.
“Alive? How is he still alive? He should be dead by now!” Conrad roared furiously.
When the secretaries heard the ruckus by the door, none of them dared to get close. After all, Conrad
was bad-tempered, so they didn’t want to be the first to get a scolding from him.
After Conrad let all his fury out, he breathed heavily and flopped onto the couch. His eyes were dilated
as he mumbled, “Why is he still alive? Why?” He seemed out of energy as he leaned against the couch
and looked at the ceiling. His mind was blank.
He had just gotten news that Zac’s body had been found in the ocean. Why did Zac end up dead after
going missing for two months?
