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 tow


    ard Floch, who was standing beside her.


    With that, Floch quickly walked up to Tiffany and retorted, “Nonsense! You must noty a finger on Veron


    ica.”


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


    me, shock shed 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


    y 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 surel


    y 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 umte virtu


    e for the sake of the child‘s health and safety.”


    “umte 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 nce no matter how hard she t


    ried.


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


    with him and sessfully deceived him.


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


    ady slept together, and with that, she would naturally be able to


    be 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 ording to the saying, ‘When there was a will, there was a way.


    Therefore, about a month ago, she sessfully 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 oue remained the sam


    e, 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 is


    sue.”


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


    e 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 ofying 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 eac


    h other.


    Thereafter, they led Tiffany


    upstairs and continuedforting 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.


    Momentster, he asked, “Is it true that the assassin who attempted to kill Veronica at Dawnpol Vige w


    as not rted to Tiffany at all?”


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


    npol Vige before Veronica, so it shouldn‘t be rted to


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


    inted 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 d


    ays.”


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


    er 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 ced 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 hus


    band if there is an afterlife.”


    “But I‘m d 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 wit


    h 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


    It was a joy to appreciate some slow–paced leisure in the midst of this fast–paced !!


    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 apany 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


    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 t


    Veronica became tired. Thereafter, Xavier drove Veronica back home.


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


    that night when he watched Veronica walk into Matthew‘s Twilight Condominium.


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


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


    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


    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 ma


    quitefortable here.”
