Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1281

Chapter 1281 Shift the Blame

"Geez, Matthew, stop fooling around. It's already late. The food will be served in less than an hour."

"Based on what you said, one hour isn't enough for you. I suppose I'm not doing a good job."

"No, no! That's not what I meant, you—um..."

Matthew didn't let her finish her sentence as he silenced her with a kiss.

An hour later, there was a series of knocks on the door.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Miss, it's time to wake up and have a meal."

The person calling her to eat upstairs was a servant in the house, but the cook had already been replaced by a new chef.

With her cheeks flushed, Veronica quickly raised her hand to her lips, gesturing for Matthew to stay quiet.

Naturally, he complied.

"Okay, got it. I'll go downstairs right away," Veronica replied.

It was silent outside. The servant had already gone downstairs.

Veronica pleaded, "We should go eat."

"No rush."

"Master Crayson and Mateo are both here. If we don't go down, they'll find out what we're doing. Won't it be awkward?"

"Don't worry. They won't be able to return this morning."

"They won't be able to return? What happened?" Veronica asked worriedly.

As she asked the question, a cold and stern expression appeared on Matthew's face. He also had a hint of anger in his eyes. "Veronica Murphy, do you want to die in bed?"

"Huh? No, I just… Hey… Matt, no, honey, don't be too—"

And so, another hour passed.

Matthew finally released her.

After freshening up, they both walked out of the room one after another. However, considering Veronica's dignity, Matthew went back upstairs instead of going downstairs.

Veronica descended the stairs with weak legs and went to have her meal.

Sure enough, apart from the servants and the new chef, there was no sign of Crayson and Mateo in the

spacious living room.

Of course, Destiny was also absent.

"Madam Dorothy, where are they? Have they eaten?" Veronica asked the servant in the dining room.

Dorothy shook her head. "I'm afraid I don't know. Master Waylen, Young Master Mateo, Miss Destiny, and Iron Pillar are all not here today. But Terran said they won't be coming back today. Master Waylen informed him yesterday."

Terran was the chef—a young man of considerable talent—they trusted.

"Oh, okay."

Veronica didn't ask any further questions and continued to eat, but she felt uneasy in her heart.

Hendrey was also anxious.

After a good night's sleep and a regular breakfast, someone approached him and informed him that Tiffany had disappeared.

Hendrey was greatly surprised and immediately dispatched people to search for her while also checking the surveillance.

However, the surveillance had been tampered with yesterday and didn't capture anything.

She had vanished just like that. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

He sent out search parties and hurriedly left the house to go to Zac's residence.

After he accidentally discovered Matthew's true identity yesterday, he had been contemplating whether to inform Zac or not. After much consideration, he decided to keep it a secret.

Now that Tiffany had disappeared, Zac would undoubtedly hold him accountable.

By revealing Matthew's identity now, he could shift all the blame onto him.

Hendrey didn't have time to eat, so he drove directly and arrived at Zac's estate in just over 30 minutes.

Upon entering the estate, he noticed that the security had been strengthened, and the personnel assigned there were top-notch experts.

Presumably, Zac couldn't find the culprit who had harmed him, so he bolstered the defense. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Hendrey went to the living room but didn't find Zac.

The servant informed him that Zac was still resting in his room with an IV drip.

After being informed, he approached the bedroom door and knocked. "Zac, it's me, Hendrey."
