Chapter 22
Veronica joked lightheartedly.
Seeing that she was here, Xavier put away his mobile phone, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car. “What can I do? God made me so charming that all those young ladies love throwing themselves at me.”
“Bah, how shameless.”
Veronica‘s face showed contempt.
In the whole of Bloomstead, although Xavier was a ‘swinger‘in everyone‘s mouth, no one dared to be so presumptuous like Veronica in front of him due to the strength of the Crawford Family.
Only Veronica, who was like a sister to him, could ruthlessly nag him on his behavior.
“Let‘s go eat! I didn‘t eat lunch so that I can cost you a big one today.”
“Tsk, you say that, but God knows which woman‘s bed you were in this afternoon.”
The two walked to the food stall while talking.
Veronica naively thought that Xavier had never been to a food stall before, so she took the initiative to order a lot of food.
While waiting for the food, she realized that the people around her threw them strange looks from time to time.
“Damn, that handsome guy is so rich. He is driving the latest Maserati, which is worth more than 30 million.”
“Oh, Lord! The girl sitting across from him is so damn ugly.
“She is so ugly, and yet she can meet rich and handsome guys. I guess her family conditions are also good.”
“Well, that makes sense.”
They could naturally hear the obvious whispers of the crowd.
Veronica didn‘t think too much of it. Instead, she looked at Xavier. “How about… we sit inside?”
She was afraid that Xavier wouldn‘t be able to bear the strange looks and gossip.
“You‘re afraid that I‘d feel ashamed? You‘re so cute.”
As Xavier said that, the boss brought over iwo bottles of beer. Briskly, he took a pair of chopsticks and pried off the caps, poured two glasses of wine with a disposable cup, and took a sip. “As far as I can remember, unpleasant words have been ringing in my cars everyday, but I still live at case. Well, we shouldn‘t pay too much attention to other people‘s opinions but live for ourselves.” He raised his eyebrows and looked at Veronica. “Only by practicing to be invincible will you not be hurt by gossip, and it is also a means of protecting yourself. Come on. Cheers.”
“I can‘t drink.”
Veronica knew that she had a child in her womb, so she could only lie. “I‘m having my period. I‘ll have some tea.”
She had known Xavier for three to four months, but most of their interactions were in the Twilight Club.
It was their first time coming out and having dinner like this.
From his words, Veronica discovered that perhaps Xavier was not the kind of trash that outsiders saw as a good–for–nothing.
At the same time, at the Larson Residence.
When Floch got the information that he sent his people to investigate, he rushed back to the Larson Residence and told Tiffany and Rachel the results. “Veronica Murphy has been pregnant with Matthew‘s child for more than two months now.”
“What, p–pregnant? Impossible. Veronica has such an ugly face. How could Matthew even bring himself to sleep with her?”
Tiffany could not accept such a result no matter what.
She picked up the documents on the table. In addition to various examinations, there were also photos of Matthew and Veronica appearing in the hospital.
“I heard that Old Mrs. Kings gave Young Master Mathew medicine in order to let him have children. Who knew that Veronica ran into Matthew by mistake, and the two naturally slept together…”
Floch explained.
However, his squared, dark–skinned face was full of anger. “This b*tch has such good luck”
Rachel sat on the sofa and carefully looked at the investigation results without saying a word.
On the contrary, Tiffany couldn‘t stay calm. “No, this can‘t be. If Veronica‘s child is born, how can I marry Matthew?”
“Tiffany, calm down!”
