    Chapter 538 Yvonne’s Deceit for Her Child


    Ring, ring. Just then, a phone call from Conrad came again. Yvonne answered the phone without


    hesitation and yelled, “Conrad Kings, are you not going to stop until you’vepletely ruined my life?


    What have I ever done to you to make you…e after me like this?” Holding her phone to her ear with


    one hand, she covered her face with the other hand as she cried bitterly.


    “Tsk, tsk. Hearing the little princess crying so miserably really makes the heart ache.” Conrad smiled


    coldly before he continued, “I’ve already told you that as long as you hand over the child, I’ll delete the


    videos. All of it. Plus, shouldn’t you know just how important that child is to me? As the child’s father, why


    would I try to harm him?


    Right now I’m fighting with Matthew to be the next heir of the Kings Family, so the boy must be by my


    side. He is my son; I will not bring harm to him. A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs after all.”


    Since Conrad was the seventh in line, his son was his best bargaining chip. Although Elizabeth was in


    favor of Matthew, Conrad had his ways to gain his brothers’ support. Moreover, with Zac’s help from


    behind the scenes, it would be easy for him to be a ‘Kynd man.’


    As Conrad knew he was inadequate now to properly ‘serve’ Zac, he was afraid that Zac would abandon


    him the moment he found out. Hence, he needed to quickly settle this affair.


    Slightly hesitating, Yvonne tightened her grip on her phone as she pondered with a frown. She was


    actually taken in by the man’s words. “I-If I hand the child to you, what guarantees do I have that you’ll


    delete the videos?” She knew Conrad was still right at the end of the day, as the child was indeed his, so


    the child would be safe even if she handed him over.


    Hence, she thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal to hand the child over for now to ensure the video got


    deleted first. Then, when the dust settled, she would find another way to get the child back from him.


    This way, everything would be resolved neatly for her.


    “Yves, you’re still the mother of my child. What good is there for me to leak the video?”


    “But, t-the link you’ve sent…”


    “That leads to a privatework with very little traffic. It was just a warning from me to you.” Conrad


    paused briefly before his tone shifted to a stern one. “There’s not much time left for you to think about


    this.”


    “Alright, I’ll do it. I promise. But, you have to delete the video right this instant!” Yvonne was afraid that


    people who knew her would see the videos. If that came to pass, all that was left for her was a path


    leading to hell.


    “Hehe, my little princess is the best when she’s well-behaved,” Conrad said with a sinister smile before


    he ended the call.


    After the call, Yvonne kept refreshing the page on her phone until the video was finally taken down three


    minutester. It was only then did she feel a huge weight lifted from her shoulder. Leaning back against


    the head of the bed, she felt ill at ease as she started thinking of ways to get her child back. After some


    pondering, she dialed Veronica’s number.


    Currently, Veronica was nestled on the couch while watching a movie together with Matthew. With her


    head on hisp, she answered the phone. “Yvonne?”


    “Roni, I… I…” It was difficult for Yvonne to say it out loud.


    “What’s wrong?” Realizing that something was wrong with Yvonne, Veronica immediately sat up and


    leaned against the couch instead before she continued, “Do you want me toe over?”


    “N-No need. I’m fine,” Yvonne stuttered, as she couldn’t help but be anxious over having to do another


    shameful deed. With her lips pursed and one of her hands clutching the bedding, she took a moment’s


    reprieve before she said, “Actually, I’ve thought about it. I want to go back to Castron.”


    “You want to go back?”


    “Yeah. The reason I’vee to Bloomstead to further my career was to prove myself to my parents. Now


    that I’m here… I can see that I am reallycking. S-So, I want to go back with my child.” Left with no


    other choice, she could only lie to her friend. She knew that Matthew would not hand her back her child if


    she didn’t do it this way.


    “Are you sure?”


    In truth, Veronica felt that it was a good choice for Yvonne to return to Castron. Not only were her parents


    there, but they were also powerful and influential enough to shelter her from harm. Thinking back on


    what had befallen her, Veronica couldn’t help but pity her. She knew her to be a good person who didn’t


    want to only depend on her parents, so she decided to venture out on her own. Unfortunately, she came


    across that scoundrel, Conrad Kings. Ultimately, the feelings she had for Yvonne were closer to


    penitence, as she was the one who had introduced the two of them to one another.


    “Yes, I’m sure,” Yvonne answered. Then, after a brief silence, she asked, “Do you mind asking Matthew


    when he can return my child to me? I’ll need to arrange my ne ticket soon.”


    Veronica tilted her head and nced at the man beside her before she answered, “Don’t worry, I’ll give


    him a call and ask him now. Since you’re the one who wants to go back to Castron, I’m sure he won’t


    stop you.”


    “Thank you, Roni.”


    “You don’t have to be so polite with me,” Veronica said with a smile before she ended the call after a few


    exchanges of pleasantries. Then, she put down her phone on the table before she turned to look at


    Matthew. With her head resting on her hand and her elbow propped on the couch, she said to him,


    “Yvonne wants to bring her child back to Castron.”


    Hearing that, Matthew furrowed his brow and said, “It sounds good, if she really ns to do so.”


    “Yeah, I also think it’s good for her to return to Castron.” Veronica automatically ignored the insinuation


    hidden in Matthew’s words.


    Both Veronica and Matthew were in the dark about the video that Conrad had recorded, while Conrad


    was only still specting at this time.


    “Just where exactly are you keeping the child?” Veronica was slightly curious as well.


    “Not far from here. He’s in Collins.”

    “Collins?”


    “Yes,” Matthew answered with a nod.


    The most dangerous ce was the safest ce. Matthew had never intended to send the child away to


    a distant ce. Hence, at Veronica’s request, he instructed his men to bring the child back. Before night


    fell, Veronica brought the maternity matron who was taking care of the child and the child himself to


    Yvonne’s vi.


    After receiving Veronica’s call that she was on the way, the haggard-looking Yvonne immediately put on


    makeup to conceal her pale face and waited for their arrival in the living room. When Veronica came with


    her baby in hand, she immediately went forward to greet her. The moment sheid eyes on her baby, a


    bead of tears came falling from her eyes.


    The child was fair and his skin was clear. His eyes wererge like a pair of grapes and his eyshes


    were long like a pretty doll. With such features, he was indeed a very cute child. “Goo goo gaga…” The


    baby waved his tiny hands and started grasping the air with his little fingers. When Yvonne came into the


    baby’s sight, the baby giggled with bubbles blowing from his mouth. It was a very cute scene for those


    who saw it.


    “Here, hold him. Such a cute little rascal. Looking at him makes me want to have one myself.”


    Veronica was in love with the child when she held him in her arms as she kept showering the baby with


    praises. “Looks like he’s inherited some good genes from his parents with how good-looking he is. I’m


    certain he will grow up to be a handsome man. By then, manydies will fall for his charm.”


    Sniffling, Yvonne took the baby from Veronica with a smile filled with joy. However, she couldn’t hold back


    the tears from welling up in her eyes. “Mommy missed you so much.” With her eyes on the baby, she


    gently rubbed her cheek on the baby’s delicate skin while her heart ached as though it was stabbed by a


    knife.


    “You shouldn’t be crying when you’ve been reunited with your son.” Veronica patted Yvonne’s shoulder


    as sheforted her. “To avoid you having a long night, I’ve already booked a flight back to Castron for


    you. The flight is scheduled for three o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow.”


    There were only two flights per day to Castron. The first flight felt rushed as it was in the morning at


    eight-thirty. As Veronica was worried that Yvonne might dawdle with the child, she decided to book the


    afternoon flight instead.


    Yvonne’s eyes lit up briefly. She nodded and said, “Alright. Thank you.”
