Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Yvonne’s Deceit for Her Child

Ring, ring. Just then, a phone call from Conrad came again. Yvonne answered the phone without hesitation and yelled, “Conrad Kings, are you not going to stop until you’ve completely ruined my life?

What have I ever done to you to make you… come after me like this?” Holding her phone to her ear with one hand, she covered her face with the other hand as she cried bitterly.

“Tsk, tsk. Hearing the little princess crying so miserably really makes the heart ache.” Conrad smiled coldly before he continued, “I’ve already told you that as long as you hand over the child, I’ll delete the videos. All of it. Plus, shouldn’t you know just how important that child is to me? As the child’s father, why would I try to harm him?

Right now I’m fighting with Matthew to be the next heir of the Kings Family, so the boy must be by my side. He is my son; I will not bring harm to him. A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs after all.”

Since Conrad was the seventh in line, his son was his best bargaining chip. Although Elizabeth was in favor of Matthew, Conrad had his ways to gain his brothers’ support. Moreover, with Zac’s help from behind the scenes, it would be easy for him to become a ‘Kyoland man.’

As Conrad knew he was inadequate now to properly ‘serve’ Zac, he was afraid that Zac would abandon him the moment he found out. Hence, he needed to quickly settle this affair.

Slightly hesitating, Yvonne tightened her grip on her phone as she pondered with a frown. She was actually taken in by the man’s words. “I-If I hand the child to you, what guarantees do I have that you’ll delete the videos?” She knew Conrad was still right at the end of the day, as the child was indeed his, so the child would be safe even if she handed him over.

Hence, she thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal to hand the child over for now to ensure the video got deleted first. Then, when the dust settled, she would find another way to get the child back from him. This way, everything would be resolved neatly for her.

“Yves, you’re still the mother of my child. What good is there for me to leak the video?”

“But, t-the link you’ve sent…”

“That leads to a private network with very little traffic. It was just a warning from me to you.” Conrad paused briefly before his tone shifted to a stern one. “There’s not much time left for you to think about this.”

“Alright, I’ll do it. I promise. But, you have to delete the video right this instant!” Yvonne was afraid that people who knew her would see the videos. If that came to pass, all that was left for her was a path leading to hell.

“Hehe, my little princess is the best when she’s well-behaved,” Conrad said with a sinister smile before he ended the call.

After the call, Yvonne kept refreshing the page on her phone until the video was finally taken down three minutes later. It was only then did she feel a huge weight lifted from her shoulder. Leaning back against the head of the bed, she felt ill at ease as she started thinking of ways to get her child back. After some pondering, she dialed Veronica’s number.

Currently, Veronica was nestled on the couch while watching a movie together with Matthew. With her head on his lap, she answered the phone. “Yvonne?”

“Roni, I… I…” It was difficult for Yvonne to say it out loud.

“What’s wrong?” Realizing that something was wrong with Yvonne, Veronica immediately sat up and leaned against the couch instead before she continued, “Do you want me to come over?”

“N-No need. I’m fine,” Yvonne stuttered, as she couldn’t help but be anxious over having to do another shameful deed. With her lips pursed and one of her hands clutching the bedding, she took a moment’s reprieve before she said, “Actually, I’ve thought about it. I want to go back to Castron.”

“You want to go back?”

“Yeah. The reason I’ve come to Bloomstead to further my career was to prove myself to my parents. Now that I’m here… I can see that I am really lacking. S-So, I want to go back with my child.” Left with no other choice, she could only lie to her friend. She knew that Matthew would not hand her back her child if she didn’t do it this way.
