Chapter 133
Even if he had no desire to marry her, he would still need to obey Elizabeth. There was nothing at all to worry about.
“Why did Thomas call you? Is it regarding the wedding?” Rachel was gently brushing her face, massaging it with a jade roller.
“The wedding is canceled.” Tiffany, seemingly aggrieved, went and sat down on the couch. Her eyes, filled with anger and reluctance, were reddened.
In response, Rachel immediately stopped her massage and put aside the jade roller, staring at her daughter who was about to burst into tears. “What‘s the matter? Why did he do that out of nowhere?”
“How would I know? That Veronica b*tch may even be the one causing it!”
“Veronica shouldn‘t have the power to meddle in a marriage in the Kings Family.” Floch shook his head. “It must be more complicated than it seems, so don‘t look too much into it. Even if Matthew doesn‘t want to get married, we still have Old Mrs. Kings. So all you have to do is visit her more often,” he comforted his daughter and let out a deep sigh.
“Yes, your dad‘s right. All of Bloomstead knows that Old Mrs. Kings is dying to have a great–grandchild. It‘s only a matter of time until she finds out about the one inside you. Don‘t you know who‘s the powerholder in the Kings Family?” Rachel shook her head. Although she sounded rather scornful, she was actually concerned for her daughter.
“I know that. That‘s why I‘m going to see Matthew before visiting the Kings Residence.” Tiffany grabbed a piece of tissue and wiped her tears. If she hadn‘t known about Elizabeth being their last card, she would have been throwing a tantrum in her room, falling extremely depressed, before she went downstairs.
Ring... ring... All of a sudden, Floch‘s phone on the table rang, to which he grabbed it and answered the call. “What is it?” – vonia
“What? She was set up in Almeida?”
“Who did it?”
“Go see to it now, fool!”
Onis having blurted a few simple sentences, Floch ended the call and turned around with his gaze brushing over Tiffany and falling onto Rachel. With a frown, he claimed, “I was informed that Veronica falling into a river in Almeida some time ago was actually a set–up to kill her off.”
“Yeah, didn‘t you guys know?” Tiffany peered at her parents in confusion.
“How did you know?” Floch and Rachel quizzed in unison with their eyes fixated on
Tiffany.
“I overheard Thomas‘s phone call a few days ago, and knew about it by accident,” Tiffany answered honestly. Although she knew Veronica accidentally fell into the river, and was washed away by the violent flood, she did not know the entire thing was orchestrated.
With a strict glare, Rachel hesitated for a moment before asking, “You have no hand in this, do you, Tiffy?”
“What? Of course not! If I were to go against her, I‘ll make sure she has no chance to survive in my scheme. Lucky her!” Tiffany scoffed. She would give up pretty much everything to have Veronica dead.
“Listen to me, Tiffy. No matter what happens, do not lay a finger on Veronica.”
“Why not? You‘re not trying to protect her, are you, Mom?”
Take the cab? Veronica didn‘t intend to take the cab and was actually planning to ask Matthew for a ride. However, after wondering for a while, she finalized that it wouldn‘t be too much of a burden to Xavier since she would be leaving Bloomstead very soon. And so, the two took the elevator downstairs. After acquiring some fruits, she got into Xavier‘s vehicle and they began their trip to Kings Residence.
He suddenly asked, “Does Matthew know you‘re going back?” Xavier wasn‘t exactly informed about the relationship between Veronica and Matthew. All he knew was that her initial resentment for Matthew had developed into adoration so deep that she chose to live with him regardless of the marriage engagement between him and Tiffany. But earlier, out of nowhere, she just decided to leave Bloomstead. Is it due to the realization that her love for Matthew is going nowhere because of his marriage with Tiffany, or is it due to the alliance between the Kingses and the Larsons that will soon be established that will bury her hopes of revenge? With two possibilities in his mind, he couldn‘t settle down with either.
