Chapter 53
“Are you sure I’m speaking nonsensei Reality is exactly what you think it is, though. It was Matthew who saved me from the fire and had me transferred to Saint Hospital.”
Saint Hospital was one of the Kings Family’s enterprises, so Veronica’s presence here was the best proof.
When she listened to Veronica’s teasing tone, Tiffany clenched her fists and sank her nails deep into her palm to the point where blood was almost pouring out. Yet, she had felt nothing
She couldn’t wait to go up and strangle Veronica to death now that she was on the verge of collapsing in anger.
However, after years of ‘training, Tiffany had learned to resist her anger in front of others.
That was why no matter how angry she was, she could compose herself within a few short seconds to calmly reply, “So what? It’s only because Old Mrs. Kings likes you, which prompted him to save you.”
She had been so exasperated that her body started to slightly shiver.
However, since Elizabeth’s ward was right next to them, she couldn’t lose her temper or be hysterical.
“You’re right. You’re beautiful, so everything you say is right.” Veronica didn’t refute Tiffany since she knew that her attempt to provoke Tiffany had worked, so she merely added, “What are you doing coming over to me this early in the morning? Your parents sent someone to set fire to my house and failed, so are you now trying to get at me again after the attempted murder
“Don’t be so cocky yet.” Tiffany could no longer endure the provocation and went over to whisper, “Have you forgotten about your parents back home?”
The moment Veronica’s adoptive parents were mentioned, Veronica’s expression instantly changed as she sat up on the hospital bed in a flash. “Y-You… Tiffany, don’t you dare!”
“Hmph, your adoptive parents are now in my hands. If you don’t want them to die, you better leave Bloomstead and disappear in front of Matthew forever. Otherwise,
don’t blame me for not considering our sisterly love.”
Sisterly love? What a way with words! This is probably the most sarcastic thing I‘ve ever heard. “Sisterly love?” Veronica didn’t know how Tiffany was able to utter these two words. Her bright eyes flickered with a cold intent while she stared at Tiffany with a sharp gaze unblinkingly. “Is all this scheming part of your sisterly love!?”
“I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. I’m now giving you two choices: you can either stay and let your adoptive parents die, or you can get the hell out of Bloomstead and never come back again.”
Since Elizabeth’s ward was next to them, Tiffany didn’t wish to confront Veronica.
Besides, using Veronica’s adoptive parents as a threat, Tiffany was able to do whatever she wanted without worrying about Veronica telling Elizabeth.
“Alright. I’ll leave, but please let my parents off the hook.”
“As long as you leave, I promise to let them go.”
“Deal.” Veronica gladly agreed. “However, Matthew won’t let me leave now. As you can see, there’s a bodyguard guarding at the door. Go and get rid of him first.”
With a faint smile on her red lips, Tiffany couldn’t hide the complacency and arrogance on her gorgeous face. “I know you will eventually come to your senses.” After that, she added, “Once you leave Bloomstead, my parents will give you some money and send you all away. The farther the better. Veronica, don’t blame me. You
can only blame fate for putting you in this situation.”
In Bloomstead, only one of them could stay.
“Okay!” Veronica lifted her head slightly, signaling Tiffany to quickly get rid of the bodyguard standing at the door.
However, her excessive obedience made Tiffany even more suspicious.
Meanwhile, Tiffany stood there and watched as the injured Veronica limped step by step to the elevator before a strong feeling of unease arose in her heart. Her eyes are calm and indifferent as if they are a body of stagnant water. When I carefully look at her eyes, it feels like I‘m looking at a dying person.
