Chapter 26
“Oh, who do we have here? What’s a delivery girl doing here? The food is scattered all over the floor, and it smells pungent.”
“It’s Young Master Matthew and Miss Larson’s wedding today. Didn’t they already book the whole place? Why did someone order for a food delivery?”
“Who knows? Is she trying to sneak in?”
“Where’s the security? Throw out this person quickly.”
The wealthy people and celebrities who passed by Veronica gave her a look of disdain, criticizing and ridiculing her, and someone even called the security to throw her out.
When two security guards came over, they saw the delivery vest she was wearing and noticed how out of place she seemed, so they grabbed her by her shirt. “Get out quickly. This place is booked.”
However, Veronica shook off the security guard’s hand. “Let go!”
Right now, she was furious. If she wasn’t pregnant, she wouldn’t feel a thing to see Tiffany and Matthew getting married because it had nothing to do with her.
But now, she was already pregnant for more than two months, and Matthew had made a deal with her four days ago-if she gave birth to the child, he would help her adoptive father with his surgery and find out the truth behind the car accident.
That was why she agreed to keep the baby.
Who would have expected things to take a turn so quickly!
Veronica could almost imagine the scene after the child was born-she would be chased away, and her own child would be calling Tiffany Mom’.
Mom?! Ha, how ironic! she thought.
“Miss, I’m warning you now. Get out of here quickly, or else don’t blame me for being rude,” the security guard warned, pointing a finger at Veronica.
The people who were coming from downstairs stopped to watch. Even though they were from wealthy families or were celebrities who were always in the spotlight, there were still many amongst them who liked to watch the fun.
“You don’t have to chase me out, I can-”
“Roni, what are you doing here?”
While Veronica was speaking, Xavier squeezed out from the crowd and pulled her behind himself. Glancing at the security guard coldly, he said, “I brought her in with me. Is there a problem with that?”
Dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans with a necklace around his neck, Xavier was a guest of the banquet, but while his casual attire made him look bright, handsome, and energetic, he was just the same as Veronica-looking out of place next to all these people dressed in expensive clothes.
“Young Master Xavier, she’s a delivery girl,” the security guard explained, pointing at Veronica and the scattered food on the floor.
Checking out the takeaway box on the floor, he crouched down and picked it up. “Roni, what’s wrong with you?” he said, pretending to be unhappy. “I asked you to bring me some food on the way but you can’t even hold it well.”
It didn’t strike Veronica that Xavier would suddenly appear, and she was very grateful to him for helping her out. However, what happened next was a round of sarcastic remarks from the bystanders.
“My god, there must be something wrong with Young Master Xavier’s head. He’s actually friends with such an ugly delivery girl!”
“She’s so ugly that I almost threw up. Looks like Xavier is really desperate.”
“Indeed, he’s the infamous useless bum of Bloomstead. What an eye-opener today is.”
“You can’t bring her out on the streets. Such an embarrassment.”
The crowd kept criticizing while pointing at them as they sneered, mocked, and ridiculed them; their gazes fell on the two, as though exposing them under the spotlight.
To that, Xavier merely laughed it off. Just as he said, he was ‘invincible’ and didn’t feel any inferiority nor embarrassment in the face of these sarcastic remarks. Meanwhile. Veronica took it in stride as well, with an all-knowing look despite the people making fun of her.
