Chapter 147

“What else could it be?! Veronica the b*tch just won‘t leave us alone!”

Blood boiled, Tiffany eventually failed to keep her shirt on as she stomped in rage and cursed, “I‘m going

to send her to hell! I‘m going to kill that b*tch!”

Bawling hysterically, she had totally lost all gentleness and good manners a socialite should possess. In

contrast, she looked like a maniac who was on the verge of breaking down.

Rachel‘s expression changed immediately upon perceiving Tiffany‘s rage, so she instinctively looked

toward Floch, who was standing beside her.

With that, Floch quickly walked up to Tiffany and retorted, “Nonsense! You must not lay a finger on

Veronica.”

Hearing that, Tiffany glared at Floch with her eyes, which became bloodshot due to anger. At the same

time, shock flashed through her menacing face. “Are you defending Veronica the b*tch?!”

With his eyes darkened, Floch waved his hand. “How is that possible? Stop overthinking. I ask you not to

lay a finger on Veronica because she‘s Old Madam Kings‘ god–granddaughter and she‘s quite close with

Matthew too. If any mishaps happen to her, the Kings will surely look into the matter. Given their power,

do you think they won‘t be able to catch the culprit? You‘ll be digging your own grave by doing so!”

“My thoughts exactly. Silly girl, what on earth are you thinking?”

Rachel walked up to Tiffany, held her hand, and cooed, “Remember this—you and Matthew are getting

married soon, and you‘re pregnant with a child. You should accumulate virtue for the sake of the child‘s

health and safety.”

“Accumulate virtue my foot!”

Engulfed by rage, Tiffany had totally lost her rationality. She shoved away Rachel‘s hand furiously and

scowled, “This child is not Matthew‘s. Don‘t you already know that?!”

Of course, Matthew could not possibly be the child‘s father.

Back then, Matthew had some interim matters to settle in Castron, so Tiffany tagged

along to find a chance to sleep with him.

However, Matthew was not stirred up at all and did not even spare her a glance no matter how hard she

tried.

It was only until the day when Matthew got drunk after a business dinner did Tiffany pretend to have slept

with him and successfully deceived him.

Initially, she thought Matthew would definitely not remain hostile toward her anymore since they had

already slept together, and with that, she would naturally be able to become pregnant with his child

thereafter.

However, litte did she expect that Matthew‘s attitude toward her did not change much after that incident.

Having no other choice, Tiffany thought of a way to get pregnant in the shortest time.

Sure enough, nothing was impossible according to the saying, ‘When there was a will, there was a way.

Therefore, about a month ago, she successfully conceived a child.

Nevertheless, the child did not belong to the Kings.

It did not matter whether or not the child belonged to Matthew. As long as the outcome remained the

same, it would not cause any impact.

“A–Although this child is not Matthew‘s, you‘re still young, so you don‘t have to worry about that at all.”

“Yeah, your mom is right. As long as you can marry into the Kings Family smoothly, all these are not an

issue.”

Floch patted Tiffany‘s shoulder. “You‘re the pride of our family, and you‘ll definitely become the pride of

the Kings Family too in the future. Darling, you have to learn to be more generous. Don‘t be too bothered

by these trivial matters. Take Veronica for example. She‘s just an insignificant person, so why do you

have to be angry with her? Why are you even thinking of laying a finger on her? That would only stain

your hands, am I right?”

“Yeah. She‘s not worthy of that!” Rachel nodded in tacit agreement as the husband and wife echoed

each other.

Thereafter, they led Tiffany upstairs and continued comforting her for quite some while before urging her

to rest early.

After settling everything, Rachel went back to her room and locked the door. Seeing Floch smoking on

the balcony, she walked over and sighed thoughtfully.

Smoking the cigarette between his fingers, Floch too heaved a deep sigh.

Moments later, he asked, “Is it true that the assassin who attempted to kill Veronica at Dawnpol Village

was not related to Tiffany at all?”

Standing beside him, Rachel stared at the dark sky and pondered for a moment. “That man went to

Dawnpol Village before Veronica, so it shouldn‘t be related to

Tiffany. Anyway, you‘ve overestimated Tiffany. Although she holds the title ‘No. 1 Talented Girl‘, it‘s just

an inflated reputation. You should already know what she‘s actually capable of.”

“Yeah. That‘s exactly why I‘m worried.”

Floch ashed his cigar and lifted his hand to caress his hair while exhaling smoke. “The doctor said Randy

is recovering pretty well. Since that is the case, I‘m thinking of fetching him back in the next few days.”

“I was just thinking about this too. We should‘ve made some plans for the future earlier.” Rachel shook

her head in resignation and leaned on Floch‘s shoulder wearily. “We‘ve been worrying our whole life.

How long more can we protect her?”

Perceiving the weariness in Rachel‘s expression, Floch placed his hand around her waist in distress.

“We never know what will happen in the future. But my dear, you‘ve suffered with me all your life. Please

find a better husband if there is an afterlife.”

“But I‘m glad to be with you.”

“Don‘t you think it‘s exhausting to take each step cautiously?”

“Life is never easy to begin with. It is already a ray of sunshine in the darkness to be able to grow old

with the person I love.”

“Silly girl, you‘re still the same as back then. You have not changed at all.”

On the other hand, Veronica and Xavier were strolling along the street lessurely

Lifting her head to look at the sky full of stars, Veronica couldn‘t help sglung “has

been so long since I‘ve seen such a beautiful night sky.”

“I can accompany you to stargaze whenever you feel like it.”

Xavier looked aside at the woman beside him with his eyes filled with affection.

“Despite the beauty of Bloomstead‘s night sky, it can‘t hold a candle to the one in my hometown.”

“Then I shall go to your hometown and enjoy the night sky with you if there‘s a chance in the future. What

do you think?” Xavier lifted his brows at Veronica and smiled.

“Sure!”

Veronica waved her hand as she was in a good mood.

Then, the two continued wandering down the street for some time and only decided to go back to where

they parked the car when Veronica became tired. Thereafter, Xavier drove Veronica back home.

Upon reaching her condominium, Xavier parked his car outside the neighborhood. When he watched

Veronica get out of the car to walk into the neighborhood, he recalled the scene that night when he

watched Veronica walk into Matthew‘s Twilight Condominium.

And so, he asked once again, “Can I… come up for a cup of tea?”

Veronica, who had not walked far, was startled. After pondering on his words, she nodded and said,

“Sure, come along then. By the way, I have a bottle of decent red wine at home. Let‘s finish it.”

Xavier was surprised to hear Veronica agree readily.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he mumbled, “Okay. I‘ll park the car and tag along with you.”

With a skeptical attitude, Xavier walked into the lift of the condominium with Veronica. Upon reaching

upstairs, he watched Veronica walk toward the unit at the end of the corridor and opened the door with

her key.

After entering her house. Xavier couldn‘help asking, “You‘ve been stavmgliere all this while?”

Hearing Xavier‘s question, Veronica reckoned he actually thought the environment in this neighborhood

was below expectation, so she smiled ruefully. “Although this is not as good as your mansion, it‘s quite

comfortable here.”
