Matthew raised his brows and casually stated, “Everyone has to go through some turmoil if they want to
be a member of the Kings Family. If this situation cannot be handled properly, she is unfit to be your god-
granddaughter.”
“You…” Elizabeth sighed and inquired, “You mean, you’re going to let the girl handle it herself?”
“Exactly.”
Elizabeth nodded as she listened to his words, replying, “You’re right. Okay, let’s just go with it. I’m an old
lady, so I won’t interfere.”
“Hmm.”
Elizabeth abruptly hung up the phone.
The issue Veronica was dealing with became increasingly heated, to the point where she received a late-
night call from her parents.
Her heart twitched as she saw the phone call from her adoptive mother, Daniella. “Mom?”
“Oh, Roni. Where are you now? Are you okay?”
Daniella was distraught on the other end of the phone, fearful that Veronica would be suffering.
“I’m okay, Mom. I’m fine.”
She didn’t want her adoptive mother to be worried.
Daniella reprimanded her as soon as she finished her sentence. “Are you adamant that you’re fine? Your
father and I have both watched the news on television. You can come home if things get too difficult.
Home is better than anywhere else.”
“Mom, I’m perfectly fine. I can handle this minor inconvenience.”
Veronica consoled Daniella and continued to say nice things until she
persuaded her adoptive mother that she didn’t need to come to Bloomstead.
That night, because the apartment where Veronica lived was exposed, a large number of reporters
surrounded the
apartment.
Therefore, she stayed at Yvonne’s apartment.
Xavier and Conrad left late at night.
Yvonne lay on the bed after washing up, her elbows on the bed and her chin supported, looking at
Veronica. “What are your thoughts? You couldn’t possibly say Conny isn’t good right now, could you? He
has been running back and forth since your incident, and I was so moved by him.”

from you in public even when you’re struggling with what’s going on right now. Such a bast*rd!”
“He’s wise enough to look after his own hide. He is indeed a businessman, so treacherous,” she
muttered as she turned over, tugging at the quilt, and wrapped herself tightly.
After that, Veronica began watching a live broadcast of a game on her phone, and
she was watching Vincere Games play a game against a skilled team from other provinces.
As a result, she didn’t really listen to Yvonne’s words.
However, she had long anticipated Yvonne’s praise for Conrad.
“Having said that, I would also like to thank you.”
“Speaking of which, this is the first time I’ve slept in the same bed with another woman after graduation.”
Veronica frowned as she leaned sideways on the head of the bed and tilted her head to look at Yvonne.
She changed the subject. After experiencing such an incident, Veronica discovered Yvonne to be a very
good person who was willing to take risks for her friends.
Such a girl deserved deep friendship and, more importantly, protection.
Nevertheless, she was still concerned about Conrad.
“Hey, you’re the first woman to sleep in my bed since I was a child. It’s a great honor for you.’
“Oh yes, yes. It’s my honor.”
Veronica chuckled.
The two of them then lay on the bed, chatting.
Ring, ring….
A phone call came in.
Xavier, who was at the Crawfords’ residence, answered the phone after hesitatingly looking at Tiffany’s
caller ID on the phone screen.
As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard her soft laughter from the other side, ‘Congratulations, you
will soon get what you want.”
He stood in front of the window, holding a cup of coffee and looking out at the thick twilight. He slowly
lowered his eyelids. “Likewise.”
“What do you have to say?” Tiffany pretended to be unaware.
“Using Veronica as a stepping stone to
regain your former reputation. This is
worthy of praise, and it should be your
most joyous occasion.”
The outside world had mixed feelings about her because of her divorce from Matthew.
However, she had recently performed
numerous public welfare tasks, and she
had gradually washed away her sins.
The delicate cheeks of Tiffany twitched. into a smile. “On the other hand, I would like to feel sorry for
Veronica. It is a bad thing to be loved by you.”
From the time Xavier took erotic photos
and sent them to Matthew, which
completely strained their relationship, to this time when Veronica was involved in
an accident, but Matthew stood by and watched…
Veronica’s last hope for him would disappear as well.
“That’s unfortunate. Perhaps only then will she realize that only I, Xavier, will be there for her until the
end.”
He simply liked her in the past. Meanwhile, Xavier was now desperately trying to possess her and turn
her into his personal property and accessory.
By that time, Mathew would be defeated
by him!
Xavier didn’t know if he wanted Veronica for himself because he adored her or because he wanted to
compete with Matthew out of a strong desire to compare.
As a result, he was naturally the most powerful advocate for the issue Veronica was dealing with.
‘In any case, it’s good for us. Tiffany grinned before continuing. “But here’s a
reminder. You must clean up the mess
you’ve made every time you do
something.”
“There won’t be a Randall after tonight.”
“You have such vicious tricks. I respect
you for that.”
He hung up the phone, saying nothing
more after listening to Tiffany’s sarcasm.
Yvonne’s apartment.

Veronica and Yvonne talked until late at night, at which point Veronica said, “We’ve been chatting for so
long. I’ll pour you a glass of water to drink.”
She stood up, poured Yvonne a glass of
water, and handed it to her.
The foolish woman then drank the glass
of water and eventually fell asleep.
“Yvonne? Yvonne?”
Veronica reached out and patted.
Yvonne’s cheek upon seeing her
unconscious. She sighed as she noticed
she hadn’t responded, “Sorry, I know I shouldn’t treat you in this manner.”
Veronica needed to go out tonight, but she couldn’t tell Yvonne.
Once Yvonne found out, she was bound to tell Conrad about it if he asked.
How could a woman in love tell the difference between the truth and hypocrisy?
Veronica despicably put sleeping pills in her water as a last resort.
She waited on the side of the road for a while after leaving Yvonne’s apartment. When she noticed a car
approaching, she opened the door and got into the car.
“Everything is in the car, Veronica,” Shirley said to Veronica while driving.
“Thank you for your efforts, Shir.”
Veronica thanked Shirley and then. inquired, “How is the investigation I’ve ordered you to conduct
coming along?”
“I contacted the person you requested that I contact, and the other party arrested Randall. We can go
there right now.”
“No. You should avoid interfering in this matter. Take a taxi after getting out of the car and go back home
on your own. Remember to keep it a secret.”
“Veronica, can you do it by yourself?”
“I’ll be fine.”
Shirley didn’t say anything else after hearing what Veronica had said. After repeatedly reminding
Veronica to pay attention to safety, Shirley got out of the car and took a taxi back.
Subsequently, Veronica got into the car before she quickly dressed as a man by changing into a suit and
wearing a cap. The driver then drove to her destination.
The person she asked Shirley to contact was the private detective she hired when. she arrived in
Bloomstead.
