Chapter 641 Shot in the Chest
“Other than Spinfluence Group, Young Master Matthew also owns Halston Technology, Alpha Design,
Super Foods…”
After a moment of hesitation, Thomas revealed the other companies under Matthew’s name. First
Meeting was the wedding company that the two of them co-owned and One Piece Restaurant was the
top chain store in the country, which Veronica already knew about.
With a notebook, she wrote down some important information about the companies and said, “Make
copies of all the details of these companies for me as soon as possible. Also, help me engage an
assistant.”
There were some things that she couldn’t solve by herself, so she needed an assistant to aid her.
“Yes, Mrs. Kings.”
Thomas got up and turned around to walk toward the door. However, just as he reached the door, he

He stood upright, then bowed vigorously and deeply. “Thank you.”
Veronica still chose to believe in him even when he was exiled by the rest and it truly moved him.
“Get to work.” She waved her hand and instructed, “Just focus on doing your tasks well.”
After Thomas nodded and left, the ward fell into silence once again. The excessively quiet atmosphere
was filled with sorrow; it enveloped Veronica so tightly that even breathing seemed painful.
Matthew was nowhere to be found, and the day of their wedding was also the day they parted. God
truly was cruel.
That afternoon, someone knocked on the door of the ward.
“Come in.”
At her words, the door opened and Skyler walked in, followed by Miguel and Caleb. The three men
were carrying a pile of supplements, each with a face full of frustration. When they came in, their first
reaction was to observe her. When they noticed that she was leaning against the headboard with a
calm and collected look, they could not hide their surprise in their eyes before they finally regained their
composure.
“How are you, Roni? Are you feeling better?”
“Sorry, I didn’t have the time to visit you lately.”
“What did the doctor say?”
The three of them fired questions at her separately as they placed their things down.
Veronica closed the laptop that was on her lap and raised her eyes to look at them. “I thought that if
Matt wasn’t found, you guys wouldn’t come to see me for the rest of your lives.”
Her words made the three of them exchange glances, and they averted their gazes that were laden
with grief.
“Miguel, I want to know what really happened that day at Atlantis Hotel after I left.”
Among the three of them, Veronica was closest to Skyler, but he wasn’t composed enough, which left
Miguel. Hence, there were questions that she would like to ask Miguel even more.

Miguel was dressed in a white suit and his figure was upright as he wore a pair of black thin-rimmed
glasses on his face, his eyes bloodshot behind the lenses, and his face looked tired. Meanwhile, Skyler
and Caleb were both in a similar state.
“That day…” Miguel placed one hand in the pocket of his suit pants, touching his nose with the other.
After some hesitation, he nudged Caleb with his elbow. “Caleb, it’s better for you to say it.”
“Forget it, let me.” Skyler walked over and sat on the chair next to the hospital bed and looked at
Veronica. “That day at Atlantis Hotel, after you guys left, Anthony and his men came, and the fight
lasted for a long time until Troy appeared. At that time, I was wounded, and Miguel was supporting me
while Matt and Troy fought side by side. The fight was almost over, but that scum, Troy, suddenly fired
a few shots at Matt—”
“Where was he shot?” Suddenly, Veronica interrupted Skyler’s words, and she looked at him with red
eyes.
“H-He… He was shot in… the chest.”
