Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 306

A Sabotage

Currently, at Spinfluence Group. Conrad appeared at the company in the morning. He stood in front of Matthew’s desk and looked at Matthew, who was engrossed in work.

However, Matthew disregarded Conrad.

Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.

Conrad knocked his knuckles on the desk with a displeased expression. “Matthew, you’re Veronica’s god-brother. How do you plan to deal with this matter?”

As soon as Matthew heard Conrad’s question, Matthew didn’t even bother to lift his head. Matthew held a black pen in his hand and continued to scrawl his signature on a document on the desk. Subsequently, the former closed the document and lifted his head to look at Conrad. “Uncle Conrad, are you here because of this matter?”

“Her matter has become widely speculated and our company’s share prices have dropped significantly since the start of trading today and trading has now halted. The major shareholders of the company don’t dare approach you about this, so they’ve pressured me to deal with this. They’ve expressed their opinions and if you choose to stay out of this, I’ll be appointed to take sole charge of this matter,” Conrad expressed solemnly.

Matthew placed the document folder aside and leaned back in his chair lazily as he lifted both hands in the air. He revealed a wicked smile. “Uncle Conrad, do you wish to take sole charge of this matter or…”

Matthew paused and purposely dragged his voice. “Take sole charge of the company’s matters?”

“Are you just going to sit back and let Veronica’s issue fester and persist?”

Conrad stuck one hand into the pocket of his pants and clenched his fist with the other. He knocked the desk gently with his knuckles. “Her personal matter has had an adverse effect on our family and Spinfluence Group. Even if Old Mrs. Kings dotes on her very much, that doesn’t mean that everyone else in the family has to suffer the consequences because of her.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Matthew placed his elbows on the armrest of his work chair and used his fingers to support his temples. He looked relaxed, yet there was a slightly wicked aura that he gave off. “Uncle Conrad, do you have any suggestions on what to do?”

“Veronica’s close to you and everyone in Bloomstead knows this, so you should be the one to decide what to do.”

After Conrad said that, he added, “Of course, if you have no intention of dealing with this matter, you can just easily turn a blind eye to things. However, you would have to explain the situation to Old Mrs. Kings and the other major shareholders.”

“Okay, I have no problem explaining the situation to them.”

Matthew was quite nonchalant about this. “Uncle Conrad, could you please inform the shareholders and whoever requires an explanation from me to come here to see me if they want to? I’ll give them an explanation personally.”

“You!” Conrad didn’t expect Matthew to keep up with this ambiguous behavior, and the former was quite resigned.

“You keep trying to stay out of this, but have you spared a thought about Veronica for all the pressure that she’s facing from the public?”

“That’s her issue. It has nothing to do with me.”

“So does this mean you intend on severing all ties with her?”

“Uncle Conrad, why do you say so?” Matthew snorted derisively. “I’m just her god-brother. The only person linking the two of us is Grandma, so there are no ties to sever anyway. You’re being ridiculous here.”

Conrad moved the hand in his pocket and sneered coldly as he nodded. “Okay. I’ll go to the press and tell them what you’ve just told me so that our losses can be contained as soon as possible.”

After Conrad said that, he turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Matthew kept his eyes on Conrad’s retreating back, and the former lifted his dark eyes. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Half an hour later, Matthew’s and Conrad’s conversation was instantly posted on the internet, and the ‘Matthew-Veronica relationship’ was a source of interest for the public, so swiftly enough, the recording of the conversation became a trending topic.

As soon as Troy saw the trending news, he rushed into Matthew’s office immediately. “President Kings, take a look on Twitter…”

However, before Troy could complete his sentence, he heard the sound of a recording from the laptop on the table, “Uncle Conrad, why do you say so? I’m just her god-brother. The only person…”

Obviously, Matthew had seen the news too.

“Sir Conrad is so despicable! Although his actions have succeeded in disassociating the Kings Family from Miss Murphy, which is great at salvaging the company’s loss in the shortest time possible, it would be pretty much impossible for you to maintain a civil relationship with Miss Murphy from now on.”

Troy had a keen sense of acuity, and he pointed out the crux of the matter.

“Since Uncle Conrad likes it, I don’t mind going along with what he wants.” Matthew was unperturbed about the situation, and in fact, he had been on his guard as soon as Conrad entered his office.

“Where’s Randall?” Matthew asked.

“He’s still in that abandoned warehouse. The man who took off with him yesterday kept him captive there, and the man also arranged for someone to guard the place.” As soon as Troy mentioned this, he couldn’t help asking curiously, “President Kings, how is that man from last night related to Miss Murphy?”

“Hah!” Matthew revealed a slight smile without answering Troy’s question.

At that moment, in Yvonne’s apartment, Veronica was still in bed, and she was scrolling on Twitter. Suddenly, she saw the trending topic unexpectedly. She purposely clicked into it and listened to the entire voice recording.

Matthew’s familiar voice hit her ears, and though his cold, unfeeling words caused her heart to sink slightly, her attention was diverted by Conrad’s despicable ways.

During the incident at Jackson’s wedding, Matthew had mentioned to the press that he would not interfere in the matter. Nonetheless, he had been secretly investigating the matter last night.

Evidently, Conrad was unaware of the actions that Matthew took in secret, so Conrad made this voice recording and released it.

Is Conrad actually considering the situation from the perspective of Spinfluence Group? Is he mainly concerned about the losses sustained by the company? Definitely not! Veronica instantly banished that idea.

Although she wasn’t too sure about Conrad’s purpose for doing that, she was sure about two things.

Firstly, Conrad released this recording with the intention of stirring up trouble between her and Matthew. Naturally, then, he would be able to garner her support and get her to work for him. Secondly, he had dealt with this matter ‘with the utmost consideration for the company’, so he had swiftly disassociated Spinfluence Group from her to salvage the losses sustained by the company.

Subtly, he had managed to showcase his capabilities and win the support of the upper management level and the shareholders, who had been quite worried about the unfolding situation. He had come up with such a perfect plot, but it was quite hard to tell whether Conrad and Xavier were secretly in collusion.

However, the worst thing would be if the trio—Conrad, Xavier, and Tiffany—had formed a collaboration. That would be an extremely horrible situation that was beyond imagination.

Suddenly, Veronica was slightly worried about Matthew’s current plight. She reckoned that he must be having a bad time right now.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Just as Veronica was lost in her thoughts, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Hendrey’s name popped up on the screen of her phone.

She hesitated for a moment before answering the phone, “Hendrey?”

“Veronica, I’ve seen the news about your issue. How are you doing? Are you alright?”

On the other end of the line, Hendrey was frantic with worry. “I’ve got something urgent that popped up suddenly, so I can’t go back for the moment. Just let me know if you need any help at all.”

Hendrey was originally given a mission to complete back in the country, but unfortunately, luck was not on his side. He had encountered an unexpected situation while he was working overseas, so his trip had been delayed. He was unable to arrive back in time.

His mission had been delayed as well.

“I’m fine. Everything’s alright.”

Veronica was in good spirits after receiving a concerned call from a friend, so she smiled and asked, “I’m fine. How about you? You’ve got a tough situation on your hands right now, and yet you’ve spared the time to call and talk to me.”

“The matter with your bridal store is clear sabotage. Do you need me to assign some men to investigate this?” He asked.
