Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211 A Fool

Covering her cheek, Caitlyn blurted out as rage was coursing through her blood. The crowd in the vicinity had witnessed it all and heard her shocking words loud and clear.

Meanwhile, the languid Matthew took out a cigarette and lit it up. After inhaling the tip of it sharply, he breathed out a puff of smoke, as though he was perched on the top while overlooking the entirety of the situation like an outsider. He kept quiet and had no intention of intervening either.

On the other hand, Veronica interrogated, “Do you know where we are right now? This is Kings Residence. I told you that you need evidence first before anything. You think you can slander the Kingses’ name so easily? You will go to jail if they sue you.”

Just a moment before, she was impressed by Caitlyn’s bravery, but she took those words back now. Caitlyn was nothing more than a silly cat’s paw of Tiffany.

“I-I-I have no evidence, but this is what Tiffany told me! We’re best friends. She wouldn’t lie to me.” Caitlyn’s sole intention was to make Veronica the laughing stock, hence the foolish tenacity.

Ruka hesitated momentarily before rebuking, “Stop it, Caitlyn. Stop the nonsense if you don’t have any proof. You’re just asking for trouble.”

Then, she turned to Matthew, who was standing next to Veronica. “Matthew, I apologize for her antics. Caitlyn must be mistaken. Hope you don’t take it personally.”

“Hmph! So what if I don’t have any proof? Young Master Matthew and Veronica came here in the same car. I bet there’s something going on between them, and this can prove that I’m right!” Caitlyn, whose eyes were red, wasn’t going to alter her stance in the slightest.

“True. I think Caitlyn’s right. Otherwise, why would Young Master Matthew cancel the engagement on the wedding day?” Reese seized the opportunity to drive Veronica to the bridge so that she could take revenge for Tiffany.

Looking at her two loyal yet daft friends, Ruka was at her wit’s end. Although the reporters heard everything, they didn’t dare spread the news because they had already received the invitation thanks to Matthew’s magnanimity. However, the rich were pointing fingers at Veronica with reproachful gazes.

Veronica remained silent. At first, she wanted to say something, but she deemed that it was unnecessary. Since it was Matthew’s matter, he should be the one dealing with it, not her.

Besides, she had given Caitlyn a chance, yet the dunce wasn’t sensible enough to read the room and kept ramming herself to a dead end like a stubborn bull. If Caitlyn had a death wish, she shouldn’t be bothered by it as it would be a great chance to dispose of the disgrace of humanity.

“Veronica looks exactly like Tiffany. I won’t be surprised if Young Master Matthew likes her.”

“I think Miss Murphy is prettier than Miss Larson. She’s cold but pretty.”

“What cold? Look at the beauty mark on her nose. That’s hot. She’s totally my type.”

“Yeah. She looks like a celebrity.”

“True.”

…

The crowd began to gush about Veronica, and before long, the silent Matthew finally beckoned over the reporters. Immediately, the reporters rushed their way over and started filming.

“Allow me to introduce the lady next to me. Her name is Veronica Murphy. Although she grew up in the countryside, she’s a kind-hearted person. A few months ago, I was involved in a car accident, and she was the one who saved me. And later on, as if it were a destined fate, she saved my fainted grandmother by chance. Therefore, Grandma has acknowledged Veronica as her god-granddaughter as a token of gratitude to repay her kindness. Initially, Grandma was supposed to announce the news herself; however, I had no choice but to do it first as someone kept saying nonsense to tarnish my family’s name.” Standing before the press, Matthew introduced Veronica’s new identity. His voice was clear and every word held a weight of seriousness.
