CHAPTER 1073 UNWAVERING TRUST

The man raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Why don't you give it a try?" he said threateningly.

Then, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You are the head of the family. Would you consider helping me handle this matter?"

Veronica could not help but laugh at his teasing, looking somewhat hesitant. "I suppose I could somehow give it a try."

She let go of Matthew and sat on the couch, looking at the disheveled woman in front of her. She pointed to the pregnancy test stick on the table and questioned, "Are you sure it was you and... my husband at the hotel?"

The woman wiped her tears and nodded pitifully. "Yes, I'm sure."

"And where's the evidence?"

"The... evidence..." The woman hesitated for a moment, thinking. "I... I..."

"No evidence?" Veronica shook her head in frustration. "I was hoping that if you had the evidence to prove that this child is my husband's, at least I could offer you a generous compensation, but how can I be convinced without any evidence?"

Matthew casually walked over to the nearby table, leisurely grinding the coffee and being completely composed.

The woman in the dress clenched her lips tightly and struggled for a while. "I have it! I have the

evidence! That day at the hotel, when we were dining, I spiked his tea with something! Then, I helped him back to the hotel, and we... we..."

Veronica did not bother to argue. "Well, it seems like you do have the evidence. But, young lady, could you at least have some basic common sense before falsely accusing someone? Matt and I returned from our trip less than half a month ago. It would take at least a month to confirm your pregnancy even if you are pregnant."

She waved her hand dismissively. "You have one minute. If you don't leave, I'll call the police."

Suddenly, Veronica could not be bothered to nag with this woman. It was simply a waste of time.

Matthew turned around and walked to his desk, pressing the intercom button. "Thomas, come in."

A minute later, Thomas walked in and looked at the sobbing woman sitting on the floor, momentarily stunned.

Matthew commanded, "Take her, along with the thing on the table, to the police station."

"No, please, don't!" she pleaded.

The woman sobbed and pleaded, "You clearly slept with me at the hotel that day. Although this child... this child is my boyfriend's, the fact that you slept with me is true..."

Thomas listened to the woman's words; his temples throbbed, then dragged her out directly.

The dissatisfied women struggled and resisted. She had initially planned to threaten them by saying

Matthew had 'slept' with her, but then the 'official wife' appeared.

Forced into a corner, she reluctantly took the pregnancy test stick out, intending to sow discord between them.

Little did she know, the couple shared an unexpected level of trust.

The woman was taken away, and the office restored its peacefulness.

Veronica leaned against the couch, raised her hand to massage her temples and sighed.

Matthew approached her from behind and placed his hand on her temples, gently massaging them. "She was my company's secretary, and because she had met with the clients before, so I took her along for dinner with the clients at the hotel..." From .

Before Veronica could inquire about the specific situation, Matthew took the initiative to speak.

With her eyes closed, Veronica felt the tenderness from the man. "You don't need to explain. I still have some trust in you."

She interrupted him. "You remained indifferent when Eleanor flattered over you. With such average looks, she wouldn't be attractive enough to you."

Her excessive trust surprised Matthew. He bypassed the couch and walked over to her, sitting by her side and embracing her. "You trust me so much; aren't you afraid that one day I'd betray you and do something bad behind you?
