“Please forgive me for my shallowness,” Flavian Kings said sparingly. He believed that with his current
family background, he had no shortage of people to take care of him in his old age.
Furthermore, Flavian Kings once again believed that Veronica Murphy was shallow and ignorant,
unworthy of Matthew Kings.
Veronica Murphy left. She hurried to Kyoland, wanting to talk to Flavian Kings. Although she didn’t even
have the opportunity for formal negotiations, she still obtained some important information.
On her way back, she wondered if Matthew. Kings didn’t know about Eviette Robins’ family
background. That shouldn’t be the case.
He had said that he had known Eviette Robins for many years and was well aware of her background.
Most likely, Matthew Kings didn’t know that Eviette Robins liked him and wanted to marry him.
When she returned to Lothen, it was already midnight. Eleanor Gomez, who had been sleeping the
entire day, saw her come back and ran to her room, curling up on the sofa. “Tell me honestly, where did
you go? You look worried. Did something happen?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVeronica Murphy got up, took two bottles of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured them into a
decanter, and brought two tall glasses to the sofa. “Here, have some wine.”
She ordered some takeout on her phone and then sat down with Eleanor Gomez, drinking and
chatting. She told Eleanor Gomez everything that had happened recently, including what happened
today.
Eleanor Gomez’s face gradually darkened. “From what you’re saying, your sweetheart is in great
danger.”
“After the trip to the hidden clan, Matthew Kings suffered heavy financial losses. Now he’s severely
weakened. How could they be their opponents?” Veronica Murphy, who hadn’t drunk in a long time,
raised her glass and drank it all in one go. She sighed, “Do you think I’m a jinx?”
“Pfft…” Eleanor Gomez leaned on the armrest of the single sofa, holding a tall glass in one hand, and
pointed at Veronica Murphy with her finger. “You’re supposed to be a young socialite, but you can say
such ignorant things. The people from the hidden clan are so superstitious, no one would say that
about themselves!”
She let out a long sigh. “You, my dear, can only say that you have bad luck and encounter villains.”
Listening to Veronica Murphy’s ordeal, Eleanor Gomez felt some sympathy. ‘Actually, it’s just fate
playing tricks on you. You, at least, are the Young Lord of the hidden clan, and so am I, but our
destinies are completely different. I’m luckier than you.”
Veronica Murphy poured herself a full glass of red wine from the decanter. “Are you trying to advise me
or just adding insult to injury?”
“Haha, I’m teaching you to see reality.” Eleanor Gomez sat up straight and poured herself a glass of
wine. She clinked her glass with Veronica Murphy’s Straight Flush and raised an eyebrow. “Perhaps
there’s someone who can help you.”
Veronica Murphy didn’t bother asking who that person was, she just shook her head. “Our current
situation is almost a dead end.” After saying that, she waved her hand holding the tall glass. “Well,
maybe it’s not a dead end. If I die, Matt might have a chance at a fresh start. With Eviette Robins’
protection and the influence of the Robins Family, he’s bound to have a new lease on life.”
Of course, that was only the final option when all else failed. Veronica Murphy was not one to easily

“There’s always a way when there’s a will. Don’t dwell on it too much,” Eleanor Gomez wanted to say,
but stopped herself. Perhaps things hadn’t gotten that serious yet..
The two of them talked at length, drinking four bottles of red wine. Eventually, Veronica. Murphy grew
tired and fell asleep on the couch. She had spent the previous night with Melvin Winson, staying up all
night. She was truly exhausted.
Seeing her asleep, Eleanor Gomez went to the bedroom and fetched a blanket to cover her. She
adjusted the temperature of the living room air conditioner and then returned to her own room, finally
feeling at ease.
With a heavy heart, Veronica Murphy woke up after only a few hours of sleep. After freshening up, she
headed straight to the set.
By the time she arrived at the set, it was already eight in the morning. She estimated that Luan Shu
had already woken up, so she gave her a call. “Luan Shu, I don’t need any more help around me right
now. Focus on Matt for the time being, especially since his company is going through a critical period.
As a professional public relations specialist, you should be able to support him.”
