Chapter 134
Matthew was seen alighting his vehicle together with Tiffany.
:
“Oh, Veronica, I see you‘ve brought your boyfriend over with you.” Carrying her purse, Tiffany greeted Veronica as if she was the open–hearted, generous host of the residence
Matthew, on the other hand, gave Veronica a piercing glance before glaring at Xavier. His eyes were abysmally cold.
“That‘s none of your business. Why do you care?” Veronica taunted and rolled her eyes at Tiffany, showing no intention in playing nice.
“What… Y–You…” Surprised by her impudence, Tiffany felt infuriated and frustrated. She turned to Matthew, eyeing for help, but the man “missed it.”
“You what? Huh? Get away from me, witch!”
Veronica deliberately took a few steps backward and brushed the nonexistent dust on her shoulders away before turning around to pick up the supplements in Xavier‘s car, saying, “B—”
Before she could say a word, Xavier interjected, “I‘ll carry them for you. Let‘s go see Old Mrs. Kings.”
Veronica was dazed and confused. He said he was only sending me here. Why is he suddenly coming with me? Regardless, Xavier was only trying to help, so she didn‘t feel right to reject his goodwill.
“Mr. Crawford, Veronica comes from the countryside, so her speech can be… harsh. But don‘t take it to heart. I‘m sure she‘ll slowly change.” Disconcerted, Tiffany took the opportunity to mock Veronica‘s identity and gave her a “pep talk.”
“Since you‘re Mr. Crawford‘s girlfriend, make sure to kill your old, bad habits, okay? Otherwise, how are you going to get married to him? You‘re bound to get bad mouthed!” Having said that, she turned to Matthew. “Isn‘t that right, Matthew?”
Matthew simply shot her a mean glance before turning his eyes to Veronica as he blurted a “yes.”
“Shut up, b*tch! Stop poking your nose into my matters!” Veronica had no desire to be courteous with Tiffany just because she was Matthew‘s “fiancée.”
He apathy toward Tiffany caused Xavier to overthink. He came to a “conclusion” that the hatred Veronica bore sor Tiffany wasn‘t only familial, but also out of jealousy as love rivals!
“B–B*tch? How could you say that, Veronica? I was only saying those for your sake…“.
Tiffany pursed her lips. Her reddened eyes made her seem so pitiable.
“As if that would stop the world from revolving around you! Also, stop saying sh*t like ‘for your sake this, for your sake that. If it‘s really for my sake, then get the hell away from me. Don‘t soil the path I‘m about to tread on and pollute the scenery I‘m about to glimpse.” Veronica did not pull her punches.
Beside her was Xavier, who tacitly nodded. “Yup, even your breath smells like a what‘s that?–right, a pretentious b*tch!”
Hearing his insult, Veronica could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing. He‘s done it!
