Chapter 357 To Die at the Prime of Her Life
“Yvonne, Roni is leaving. Better bid her goodbye if you haven’t,” said Conrad. Veronica gave Yvonne a side glance but didn’t turn to look at her. Instead, she strode past the man and left without saying another word.
‘Sometimes, one has to walk to the end of the route that they had chosen no matter how much they will regret it later.’ That was Veronica’s last advice for Yvonne.
Yvonne couldn’t help feeling disappointed as she watched Veronica leave. She walked toward Conrad’s side. “Conrad, how will we clear the misunderstandings between you and Roni? It hurts me to see you guys going against each other. S-She’s a good friend.”
After all, the girls had been through hardships together, and she liked Veronica. “Time will heal everything.” He stroked her hair and gently pushed her into his arms as he reassured her
She indulged in the warmth and his scent with closed eyes as she pressed her cheek against his chest. “Conrad, I believe that we will clear up the misunderstandings one day, and things will return to their rightful place.”
“I think the same too, but Roni is being paranoid. I don’t know what to do with her.” A calculative Conrad was on the move again. “She doesn’t trust me, let alone Matthew. So, the projects I had with Spinfluence Group are called off.”
“What?” Yvonne pushed herself away from his embrace, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean? Why do you say that both of them don’t trust you?”
She couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.
“Don’t you know what kind of relationship they have right now?”
She still couldn’t understand his words. “What kind of relationship? Matthew is Roni’s god-brother, isn’t it?”
Conrad smiled helplessly at that. “That’s not all. Little Roni likes Matthew. Remember the photo we saw on the news? The guy next to Matthew was Little Roni. She was dressed up as a man.”
“What? She dressed up as a man?!” She raised her voice as she was wholly taken aback by the news.
His brows furrowed as though he was baffled. “You didn’t know about that? You were still close with her. Didn’t she tell you?”
Upset, Yvonne shook her head. “No. But are you sure, Conrad? The person in the photo was a man! How could it possibly be Roni? You must’ve made a mistake. If she truly wants to be with Matthew, there’s no need for her to hide their relationship. Besides, the scandal has affected Spinfluence Group negatively. Grand-Auntie was so livid that she almost punished Matthew. If what you’ve said is true, Roni could’ve told Auntie.”
Since Conrad addressed Elizabeth as his mother and Yvonne had now conceived his child, she should change the way she addressed Elizabeth. Still, it was not easy for her because of the age gap.
“No way. I thought she would’ve told you because you were still close back then.” Conrad shook his head, pretending to be confounded. “Mom knew about it. Otherwise, she would’ve held Matthew responsible for the issue.”
“I see.” She lowered her head with mixed feelings before muttering, “How come she didn’t tell me such an important matter? Did she even see me as a friend?”
