Chapter 427 Sasha’s Back
On the phone, Yvonne would not stop crying and Veronica was trying her best to calm her down. “Don’t
worry about it. It’s alright. I’ll go to your place right now.” She hung up and looked at the time. 2.00PM…
Peak hour. No wonder the ambulance is stuck in traffic. “Matthew? Matthew?” Seeing that he was not
in the living room, she went to his study instead.
“Matthew, are you—” She thought he would be in his study, but it was empty. “Where is he?” She
heaved a sigh and called Matthew. Headed to the porch, she changed into her shoes and left the
house. The moment she entered the elevator, the call went through and she could finally get hold of
him.
“Oh, you’re awake,” said Matthew.
“Where are you?” she asked. Just as she was about to hear his answer, she lost all signal when she
went into the elevator. As such, she came to the parking lot on the second floor of the basement and
headed toward Matthew’s parking spot.

At that moment, she saw him near his parking spot and a drop dead beauty with long, curly hair and
short crimson skirt was standing before him. Who is she? She was about to go ahead and meet up with
him, but then that mysterious woman suddenly hugged Matthew.
“It’s been a while, Matt. I miss you.” Sasha held him tightly then let him go, only to punch him in the
chest. “You’re such a blockhead. You could have called. You can’t expect me to do all the work.”

“You’re a woman. I don’t see the point in calling you.” Matthew frowned with impatience clearly flashing
in his eyes. “What do you want?”
“You’re still the same blockhead I used to know.” She thumped his chest again. “You can’t talk to a lady
like that. I came to see you because I wanna.” She stomped her foot and her face red with
embarrassment.
“Can you stop talking like an anime girl?” Matthew was starting to get really impatient now. He hated it
when Sasha spoke like this.
“That’s just how I talk. Hmph!” She snorted and approached him again. This time, she held his arm. “I
don’t care. I don’t get to see you every day. You’re spending the day with me and I demand a
welcoming banquet too,” she said imperiously, refusing to give him any space to negotiate.
The man froze up and shot her an icy glare. “Hold my arm like that again and I’ll bust up your fake
boobs.”
Still, Sasha was not even mad about the threat. Instead, she was amused and she puffed her chest
out, showing off her cleavage. “Impressive, aren’t they? I spent a ton of money on them. Bust them up
and you’re paying for the replacement.”
“How about I pay for the coffin I’ll put you in?”
“Hey, you can’t just…” She could not argue anymore and flung his arm away. “You’re so cruel, Matt.
You’d toss your old flame behind just because you got a new girl? You’re a jerk.”
“Are you talking about me?” The woman who was standing afar could not take it anymore. They were
getting too close for comfort. Her comfort. As such, Veronica finally approached them.
If this had happened back then, the old Veronica would have flown into a rage if she saw Matthew
flirting with another woman, but after everything they went through, she knew he would not betray her;
she trusted him.
“Oh, you really didn’t have to come down, Veronica.” Matthew flung Sasha away and approached his
woman.
Veronica looked at him for a moment and turned her gaze to this impossibly sexy woman. “Is this your
friend, Matthew? Care to do the intro?”
Just as Sasha was appraising Veronica, she approached her and extended her hand. “Hi, I’m Sasha.
You must be Veronica.”
She was standing too far away to see this woman clearly earlier, but now she realized who the woman
was. She was the same one who video-called Skyler at Westcross and hugged Matthew. Why is she
here?
“That’s a nice name.” Veronica generously shook her hand. “Are you Matthew’s friend?”
“Yes.” Matthew was standing beside Veronica with one arm around her shoulder as he nodded.
“We used to sleep together. We’re more than friends.”
“Can you shut the f*ck up?” Matthew shot Sasha a freezing glare. If looks could kill, she would be dead
at this point.
“Why should I? I’m not lying. We used to sleep on the same bed. I wet the bed once and you kicked me
out of it. My mom told me about it all the time.” Sasha was bringing up the past earnestly. She had a
serious and innocent look on her face as if she really thought of him as a friend and nothing more.
Is she Matthew’s female friend? Veronica was not sure, but she could not ask as that would be too
rude. “You sure are a good friend.” She smiled. “I have something to do. Gotta go now. You guys have

Veronica did not mean anything by that, but Matthew had assumed she was angry. As such, he held
her hand and asked, “Where are you going?”
“Yvonne said she’s bleeding. She’s literally bawling on the phone earlier. I need to see her right now.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“You’re a guy. You can’t help me.” Veronica refused. Then, she looked at Sasha and smiled. “It’s not
every day you get to see a friend. You should show her around town. I’ll call later.”
“I—” Matthew was about to refuse when Sasha nodded quickly. “Sure thing, Miss Murphy.” A smile
curled her lips, but there was no delight in her eyes. She was still appraising Veronica and wondering
why Matthew was so crazy about her. There must be something different about her.
Meeting her gaze, Veronica could sense the enmity in Sasha’s eyes and it was a familiar look. It was
like Sasha was looking at someone who took the guy she liked away from her. Yeah. She likes him, but
this is not the time to dwell on crushes. “You guys have fun. I’ll be going now. Bye.” She waved her
hand at the woman while swaying her car key around. Before she left, she held Matthew’s neck and
pushed him down. She then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lip, telling Sasha that Matthew was
her boyfriend, not anyone else’s.
Caught off guard by that, Matthew realized that Veronica was jealous of Sasha and that fact alone
delighted him.
She cocked her eyebrow and smiled, then entered her car and revved it up. Just a moment later, the
car was already out of sight.
With that, Sasha and Matthew saw her off. A moment later, she broke the silence and clicked her
tongue. “Hmph… Marking her territory, I see.”
