Chapter 1219 Sorry, Matthew
Although the decoration was simple, the place was clean and tidy, with everything neatly arranged,
giving a warm feeling of cozy home. Skyler hadn't lived in Shirley's house for long, but after leaving, he
would often miss the warmth here when he was in that empty mansion. In contrast, he even liked this
place's small and crowded environment.
"What does Ron want you to tell me?" Shirley changed into a pair of slippers at the entrance before
pacing to the sofa and sitting down.
"She…" Skyler paused and lowered his gaze. His dark pupils flickered as he said, "Actually, there are
many things you don't know. But this time, Roni contacted me to ask you to look for her. As for the
company's affairs, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it for you." Speaking of which, Skyler
immediately explained, "This is Roni's idea."
Originally, Skyler didn't want to take Shirley away from Bloomstead, but Garrick, that b*stard, kept

Skyler didn't trust Shirley, and even more so, Wade. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to
take Shirley away from Bloomstead.
"If Ron wants me to look for her, why didn't she contact me directly but contact you instead?" Shirley
didn't trust Skyler very much. Despite knowing that Skyler wouldn't sell her out even though he was a
jerk, she couldn't help but have some instinctive doubts.
"She's with Matt now, and it's not news in Bloomstead that he is 'dead,' so many people are keeping an
eye on Roni. Are you sure you won't expose Matt's identity if she contacts you?"
In his heart, Skyler apologized to Matthew a thousand times. He was desperate; otherwise, he wouldn't
have betrayed Matthew.
"What? President Kings? Didn't h-he—Uh!" This shocking news came too suddenly, and Shirley
couldn't believe it. Springing to her feet, she sat next to Skyler, grabbed his sleeve, and questioned
him.
But before she could finish her sentence, Skyler covered her mouth with his hand and scolded her, "Do
you have a death wish?"
Upon hearing his reminder, she gathered her thoughts together and immediately fell silent, nodding to
indicate that she wouldn't say anything more.
Right then, they realized that their relationship was somewhat intimate.
Shirley's fair and delicate face blushed like she was meeting her first love, and she immediately
released Skyler's hand and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
As Skyler was much taller than her and she had her hair pulled into a ponytail, he could see the
redness on her ears and neck. It was precisely because of this unintentional embarrassment of hers
that Skyler's adrenaline surged, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Ahem…" He turned his head away, cleared his throat, and got back to the point, saying, "It's not
convenient to tell you some things now, but it's Roni's idea for you to go with me. She encountered
some problems over there and needs our help."

"Oh, okay. When do we leave?" Still immersed in the huge shock of Matthew being alive, Shirley took a
while to come back to her senses and had even forgotten about her embarrassment just now.
Shirley had been working for Veronica for more than two years and completely trusted her. In addition,
Matthew had been very kind to her, for which she was grateful. Now that she knew that both of them
were in danger, she didn't even hesitate for a second and chose to help them out.
On the other hand, Skyler was worried that Shirley would refuse and didn't expect her to agree so
readily, which surprised him.
"We're leaving tomorrow, but this trip will take at least two months, and we can't contact our families.
You should inform your relatives and friends today so that they won't think you've gone missing and
report it to the police."
"Understood." Shirley nodded, then asked for some more information, and started calling her parents
and friends, telling them that the company was sending her abroad for closed training, and she might
not be able to contact them for two or three months.
