Chapter 38


    Seeing Matthew being so concerned about Veronica, she thought it was extremely sarcastic.


    At the same time, Veronica was walking away from the crowd, leaving the western restaurant to


    apany her parents to the hospital.


    Meanwhile, in the hospital, Tiffany was bleeding from an injured scalp, but the situation was not serious,


    and only needed some simple treatment to stop the bleeding and dress the wound. However, in order to


    make Matthew apany her more, Tiffany asked the doctor to arrange her into the VIP ward and keep


    her hospitalized for a couple more days for monitoring.


    This hospital belonged to Floch, so the doctor naturally granted Tiffany’s request.


    After consuming a bottle of IV drip, Tiffany held Matthew’s hand with her eyes red rimmed and mumbled


    pitifully, “Matthew, my parents have gone overseas for a business trip and will only return tomorrow. Can


    you stay here to keep me apanied tonight?”


    Tiffany told a lie to make Matthew stay and apany her.


    Hearing that, Matthew frowned slightly as impatience shed through his eyes. Nevertheless, he ended


    up agreeing reluctantly after hesitating for a while.


    In the ward, Tiffany was scrolling through her phone while Matthew sat on the couch and worked on his


    laptop. Tiffany initiated conversations with him several times, but was turned down each time for the


    same reason–he was upied with work.


    Matthew only went to lie down on the apanying bed when it waste at night. Tiffany was


    aggrieved, but it was not appropriate for her to cause a scene, so she went to bed after saying goodnight


    to Matthew. At that, there was dead silence in the ward after the light was switched off.


    In the darkness, Tiffany’s eyes were opened as she bit her lips gently and pondered about something.


    Sometimeter, a scream emerged in the quiet ward. “Ahh! Don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me… Ahh…”

    Awakened by the sudden noise, Matthew got out of the bed to turn on the light. It was only then he saw


    the frightened Tiffany, who was sitting on the bed crying with her head buried in her knees.


    “Sob... sob...”


    “Did you have a nightmare?”


    Matthew’s sympathy was not aroused at all when he was faced with the beautifuldy who was tearing


    up despite thetter being his fiancéc. All he did was walk up to Tiffany and ask the question coldly.


    Sobbing, Tiffany shrunk her shoulders and cast a nce at Matthew with tears welled in her eyes. “Then,


    she hugged his waist and wailed, “Matthew… I had a dream that someone wasing after me… to kill


    me..”


    Despite Tiffany throwing herself into his arms, not only was Matthew not flustered, but his face actually


    darkened. With his arms by his side, his fingers twitched. After hesitating and struggling for a while,


    Matthew lifted his hand to pat Tiffany’s back. “Since it’s a nightmare, just forget about it.”


    “The nightmare was too scary…” Tiffany pulled back from Matthew’s arms. Staring at Matthew with her


    watery eyes, she asked, “Matthew, can you sleep with me?”


    She mustered all her courage to bring up the request. However, there was not even the slightest


    dness on Matthew’s handsome face. In fact, there was even a tinge of impatience visible between his


    brows.


    Tiffany’s heart jolted when she met Matthew’s frosty gaze. At that moment, she felt as if she acted too


    hastily just now and the result actually ran counter to her desire.


    “Or, how about you switch off the light only after I fall asleep?” Her alluring eyes were still filled with tears,


    and her voice was so sweet that anyone would have sympathy for her.


    Being as smart as a whip, Matthew could naturally tell what was on Tiffany’s mind. Nevertheless, he was


    not stirred up at all.


    “Alright,” he hummed after moments of silence.


    As such, the light in the ward was left on throughout the night while Matthew merely covered himself with


    his jacket and rested on the apanying bed.


    Although Tiffany was still aggrieved, the fact that Matthew was willing to keep her apanied at the


    hospital tonight was already the greatest change.


    The next day when Tiffany woke up, the room was already empty and Matthew was nowhere to be seen.


    Meanwhile, Veronica went to Saint Hospital to get her parents discharged. After helping them to pack


    their belongings, she sent them back to their hometown. Then she stayed at the old residence in her


    hometown for one night. After settling everything, she started her journey back to Bloomstead. However,


    she saw Floch and Rachel walking toward her the moment she reached Regalia Condominium.


    Truth was, the Larsons had not stopped bombarding Veronica with phone calls ever since she


    identally injured Tiffany the night before. It was only after she promised to show up in Bloomstead at


    10 o’clock in the morning to wait for them did Floch and Rachel stop.


    Seeing Veronica’s appearance, Rachel could not be bothered about her image of a quality woman but


    walked straight up to her and scowled. “You b*tch, how dare you bully my Tiffy again and again. Do you


    think we, the Larsons, are pushovers?”


    With that, Rachel lifted her hand to p Veronica. However, before her hand couldnd on Veronica’s


    face, thetter seized her wrist tightly.


    “Mrs. Larson, you’re a well-known socialite after all. Aren’t you afraid of bing theughing stock of


    others if they be aware of your rude actions?” Veronica sneered sarcastically in a nonchnt


    manner.


    Rachel struggled to pull out her wrist which was seized by Veronica but to no avail. “Let go of me!” she


    retorted and continued struggling, after which Veronica let go of her instantly.


    Due to inertia, Rachel staggered a few steps backward and almost fell on the ground. Fortunately, Floch


    acted swiftly to support her, and it was only then did she regain her bnce.


    “You rascal! Initially, we thought you were pitiful, so we intended to forgive you after you apologize to


    Tiffy. But now, it seems like you’re not worthy of any sympathy at all!”


    Blood-boiled, Floch pointed at Tiffany and yelled at her. Thereafter, he ordered Rachel, “Call the police.


    We have to make her suffer so that she’ll know her ce.”


    Rachel shot a re at Veronica and took out her phone in all seriousness to call the police after snorting


    at her.


    Seeing the scene at hand, Veronica was not annoyed but she actuallyughed. They wanted to send her


    to the police merely because she gave Tiffany a p. They are surely heartless!


    “If you’re willing to yield, apologize and get out of Bloomstead now, we’ll note after you. Otherwise,


    we’ll give the evidende to the police, and you can get ready to suffer behind bars for the next few


    months.”


    The stout, tanned Floch wore a menacing expression as his eyes were filled with brutality. His


    countenance was so fierce that it was as if there was a feud between Veronica and him.


    “Sure. I’m looking forward to that.”


    Veronica wore a formal smile and lifted her head to look at the bright sky. “It’s such a warm day. I shall go


    home and enjoy some air-conditioning while waiting for your news,” she said.


    She had no fear of the Larsons’ threat at all. In contrast, she walked back to her condominium while


    humming songs leisurely.


    Seeing Veronica walk away unconcernedly, Rachel stomped in anger. “What sin have I done? Why


    would I give birth to such an evil brat back then!”


    “Don’t get too angry. One day, she’ll being to us to beg for forgiveness,” Flochforted Rachel.


    Ten minutester, a few policemen arrived at Regalia Condominium. Even then, Veronica did not resist


    but obediently got into the police car and went to the police station. When interrogated by the police,


    Veronica did not hide anything and admitted it right away. “Yeah, I’m the one who hit Tiffany Larson.”


    “You arrogant prick!”


    Seeing Veronica’s arrogant stance, the police pped the table furiously. “How dare you be this arrogant


    even after hitting someone?! ording to thew, you could be put in prison for at least a few months for


    assaulting others. Nheless, the intiff has said that they would revoke their usation against you


    if you apologize to them.”


    Remaining calm, Veronica answered nonchntly with no change in her expression, “Sir, please help to


    inform the Larsons that if they still dare to go behind my back, I’ll p Tiffany every time I see her!”


    At that moment, the police was driven mad by Veronica’s im. However, the ‘interrogation did not


    produce a good result, so the police could only go to Floch and


    pass Veronica’s words to him.


    After hearing the message, Floch and Rachel blew a gasket.


    “Hmph! She’ll never learn her lesson unless she is punished. We shall put her behind bars then.” Floch


    was used to being tere I by the others, so of course, he would not be able to let it go now that


    Veronica provoked him.
