Chapter 121
Shock, astonishment, panic, anxiety–all that surged within her was a myriad of emotions.
Veronica‘s feelings were aplicated mess.
If Tiffany wasn‘t pregnant with Matthew‘s child, Veronica might still feel just that tiny bit hopeful toward M
atthew. She‘d feel that he
couldn‘t possibly side with Tiffany. But right now, he was the father of the baby inside Tiffany‘s belly…
Would he be
like Tiffany one day and kill her, because he couldn‘t continue to let her have a spot in his life?
A sense of danger washed over Veronica then, making her unable to calm herself. In the face of this start
ling news, she felt like retreating.
Matthew took in Veronica‘s expression with his dark eyes. It made himpse into deep thought. Her gaze
... Is that sadness, or disappointment?
When they were in Dawnpol Vige, Veronica had asked him to watch the moon together with her.
She said that she had something to tell him, but sheter lied about having a stomachache
and ran. After that, Melissa came to ask him if he truly loved Tiffany.
At that time, he thought that Veronica had gotten Melissa to probe his feelings, presumably because Ver
onica coveted him.
However, Xavier had proposed to Veronica that day at the hospital, and she even epted his ring. For
a moment, Matthew wasn‘t sure if she was capable of switching sides so easily, or if she was simply gree
dy for money and power.
“A… baby?” Melissa pped a hand over her mouth as she stared at Tiffany in disbelief. “You‘re pregnan
t with Matthew‘s baby?”
How did this happen so suddenly? Melissa felt heartbroken. She loved
Matthew so much. Initially, she thought that
there was a chance that Matthew and Tiffany might break off their engagement, as they were simply eng
aged and not married. But now, Tiffany was pregnant with Matthew‘s child.
Did Melissa even have a hope of being with Matthew now? That hope was practically left dead in a ditch!

Yesierday? Veronica understood then the reason for Matthew‘s sudden leave after
he had sent her to Kings Residence yesterday. He hadn‘t shown up the entire day and night after that be

“Veronica, what‘s… wrong? Why do you look upset?” Tiffany‘s lips curved up imperceptibly at the sight of

“So, you‘re
pregnant. What‘s it got to do with me? Is it worth me being upset?” Veronica shot back. “I still have some
company things to settle. So, I‘ll be taking my leave.” She turned and left quickly without lingering.
Veronica had enjoyed the slightest scrap of “niceness” that Matthew gave her. It addled her mind, making
her think that Matthew was different from the Larsons. When she was kidnapped and brought overseas,
he saved her just so that he could get on Elizabeth‘s good side; when she was swept away by the raging
river by Dawnpol Vige in Almeida, he saved her for the same purpose as well.
Matthew did so much for her simply
because she was Elizabeth‘s savior and was loved and favored by the older woman. This was all the bett
er for him, to cultivate a chess piece he could nt by Elizabeth‘s side and draw intel from her, to build th
e foundations of his war with Conrad
Kings when Conrad returned home to fight over the family inheritance!
Veronica currently found herselfughable and pitiable. The pitiable part
was, she was so pitiful that she saw the scrap of “niceness” that Matthew threw her way as being better t
han it was, to the point that she was
greatly moved by it; theughable part was, he was clearly the fiancé of her nemesis, yet she still felt just
that little bit hopeful about him.
What a contradiction this was!
“Yep, I‘m busy too, so
I‘m leaving.” Melissa snorted, stamping her foot before turning to leave the office with Veronica. They file

Melissa‘s face was red with anger as the elevator headed to their destination. “That shameless fox! She‘

self from cursing.
Melissa had thought that she still had a high chance of being with Matthew after she got to know Veronic
a. She never imagined that Tiffany would be pregnant with his child after just a few days without seeing h
im. Things were simply moving too fast.
“He‘s just a f*ckboy. My advice? Don‘t fall for him too deeply,” Veronica said to Melissa, her eyes staring
off into space.
“We may be besties, Veronica, but I don‘t agree with you.” Melissa red at Veronica, her lips pursing to
gether. –“Matthew‘s the man of
my dreams. He‘s dashing and rich. Though, he‘s got a bad eye for partners since he got engaged to Tiffa
ny. Still, that doesn‘t change my impression of him.”
Melissa was his number one fan. As long as the world stood, he would remain the man of her dreams.
Veronica looked down for a moment before looking to the side to nce at the innocent and pure–
hearted Melissa.
She hesitated for a moment. “If, one day, you found out that the man of your dreams wasn‘t as perfect as
you thought he was, would you be disappointed?”
“Of course not. No one is perfect. I love him, so everything he does is right.”
“Including getting married to Tiffany?”
“Tch, he may be engaged to that two–
faced little b*tch, but no barrier can stay up forever as long as you have the right tools!” She gazed at Vero
at her own face. “My beauty is unparalleled, and I am all natural. Everyone loves me. So, I believe that I
can hook him. As long as they still haven‘t tied the knot, I have a 99% chance of seeding!”
“Why 99%?” This youngdy is drunk on her own confidence.
“Because he‘s just a step away from marrying Tiffany. The remaining 99 steps are right there for me.”
At Melissa‘s exnation, Veronica chuckled stiffly. She wasn‘t sure how to reply to that. “Oh, hehe…”
Such an artless, naive girl.
After they left the Spinfluence building, Melissa bid goodbye to Veronica, saying that she was going off for

“Good.” Matthew silently shook off Tiffany‘s grasp and turned to walk over to his desk. He pulled up
a sheaf of papers and began to work through his documents.
Tiffany approached him to stand by his side. After much hesitation, she finally got the nerve to probe him.
