Chapter 1074 A Talented Actor
"I trust you, but that doesn't mean I'm foolish."
Veronica leaned against him. "Firstly, she claimed to be pregnant with your child, which didn't align with
the timeline. Secondly, she said you slept with her. Given your capabilities, even if you were drugged,
you wouldn't fail to notice. I know your self-control and perceptiveness best. And let's talk about looks,
shall we? You rejected the extraordinary beauty like Eleanor, so how could you be interested in
someone as ordinary and superficial as her?"
She trusted Matthew. However, the moment the door opened, she felt uncomfortable upon seeing a
woman hugging Matthew from behind.
After a moment of calm consideration, everything became clear to her.
"That makes sense."
A contented smile graced Matthew's handsome face as he held her, savoring the blissful moment.

Escarrà, Jayden, and Shawn were managing the company. Veronica could be a hands-off boss, as
certain matters did not require her attention.
As for the private detective agency, she had partnered with Sean, and there were others who took care
of the agency. Veronica had no role to play there either.
Lately, she found herself idle every day, feeling a bit bored.
"Well, do you want to go watch a movie tonight?" Matthew suggested.
Ada and Alan left with Tony and his wife, so now there were only Skyler and Shirley in the villa, which
made the early return quite dull.
With some rare leisure time, Matthew wanted to make up for the regrets between the two.
"What new movies have been released recently?" Veronica did not keep up with cinema information
much.
"Are you kidding? That sci-fi blockbuster where you had scenes with Stephen, remember?"
Matthew tilted his head, looking at the woman in his arms.
"Oh, yeah, I remember now. I heard someone on the news saying the movie did very well at the box
office."
As Veronica said this, she boringly leaned against his leg and sighed. "It has nothing to do with me."
She looked up at the ceiling, blinked her long eyelashes, and exclaimed, "When I was a kid, I used to
dream of being a model and even fantasized about being an actress, but I never had the opportunity.
Having a scene with a superstar can be considered a way to make up for that regret."
"Didn't you ever think of becoming an actress? Being an actress or starting a company can make good
money, too," Matthew suggested to Veronica.
Lately, she found herself idle every day, feeling a bit bored.
"I'm already twenty-four years old. Who would want me as an actress now? Those people all like young
and fresh faces; they wouldn't like someone like me," she replied.
"As long as you like it, that's enough," Matthew lowered his head and looked at her, running his hand

Matthew felt that Veronica had lived a difficult life and was being controlled like a puppet. Now, he
hoped she could live each day according to her will.
"Do you own any of the film and television companies?" Veronica suddenly asked. "I remember you
have one, right?"
"It went bankrupt."
"What? Even your company could bankrupt?" Veronica seemed to have heard a joke. She suddenly sat
up, covering her mouth and laughing.
Seeing her laughing uncontrollably, Matthew laughed too. "It was profitable all along. But as the
company grew, I forgot about that particular company. It turned out that someone within the company
was secretly manipulating the accounts and embezzling company profits. Over time, the company's
performance deteriorated, and it eventually went out of business before I found out," he replied.
