Chapter 214 You’ve Been Cuckolded
“Veronica is my sister. I will not allow you to divide us so easily!”
Immersed in her anger, Tiffany had given Caitlyn a mean slap while scolding her. After that, she ignored her friend, who was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, as she waved toward the security guards. “Chase her out!”
Caitlyn had already been slapped once by Veronica, and now she was slapped by Tiffany for no apparent reason, which made her even more livid.
She then held her face in pain as she pointed at Tiffany and shouted, “Tiffany Larson, you heartless b*tch! I did all this for you. How could you team up with Veronica and deal with me instead? What are you… Ouch! Let go of me! I said, let go!”
The security guards did not give her any more chances to continue causing a ruckus as they dragged Caitlyn away while stuffing her mouth.
This scene made everybody look at her frankly pathetic state, making them all think that new gossip was available now.
While clenching her teeth, Tiffany withstood the shame and ridicule of the crowd as she turned around to look at Matthew.
Veronica had captured that moment when she gazed upon him.
It was clear to her that Tiffany’s gaze had lost its admiration and obsession for Matthew. On the contrary, despair and hatred had replaced them entirely!
Hatred?
Yes, that is a look of detest.
That truly is a spiteful gaze.
What did Matthew do to make such a woman, who loved him so deeply, suddenly hate him so much in just one day?
Veronica gave up after failing to come up with an answer.
“Matthew, Veronica, I’ve caused much trouble to the both of you. Since today is Old Mrs. Kings’ birthday banquet, I’ve already somewhat attended it. So, if you excuse me, my body is feeling a bit unwell,” said Tiffany, in a polite way only to keep up appearances.
Not sure how Matthew would react to this, she managed to slip away before he even opened his mouth.
“Let’s go. Otherwise, Grandma will get anxious if we reach any later,” Matthew stated calmly. Then, he placed both hands in his pocket and walked toward the entrance of his home without caring about the bystanders’ gazes.
That was how the whole incident was wrapped up, even though the crowd still did not have enough. They were still whispering to each other about what took place.
The birthday banquet went on smoothly due to Matthew intentionally ordering that no one tell Elizabeth about what Tiffany had said.
So, she was still in the dark.
Just before the banquet started, Elizabeth held Veronica’s hands and introduced her new identity to all the guests.
Before this, Matthew had already announced this to the press, and now Elizabeth was doing it again, making it very apparent just how important Veronica’s current identity was.
The banquet ended at three in the afternoon as Veronica gave the present she had prepared to Elizabeth.
“Grandma, since I didn’t have anything noteworthy that I could give you on your birthday, I could only present you with this.”
Somewhat embarrassingly, Veronica opened the beautiful gift box and presented it to Elizabeth. “It’s a necklace. Although it isn’t an expensive one, there’s a tracking chip inside it. It can even be charged wirelessly, and it doesn’t harm the body in any way. Also, take a look at this; the craftsmanship is very detailed. You would look very elegant wearing this, Grandma.”
Veronica then looked toward Elizabeth before saying helplessly, “Grandma, I know that you won’t be happy about this, but it is just a precaution to wear this. After all, Matthew and I are very worried about you. If you really go missing one day, this can help us find you.”
