Chapter 348 Conrad Always Does a Clean Job
Perhaps she was worried that Yvonne wouldn’t believe her words; Veronica rolled up her sleeve and showed the cut she received on her arm today.
The wound was wrapped around with gauze, and she opened it up to reveal a cut with five or six stitches, looking like a centipede on her arm.
“I only hurt my arm, but Xavier isn’t as lucky as me. I accidentally hurt his face, so he might end up disfigured. My master came to rescue me in time and broke one of his legs, and he’s still in the hospital now.”
Then, Veronica wrapped the wound swiftly as she said to her, “If I don’t care about you, I’ll just let you be with Conrad. I’ve warned you many times before, but you never believed me. These past few days, I’ve been looking for evidence and before I can show you anything and tell you the truth, you’re already pregnant.”
“I-I…” A huge amount of information crashed into Yvonne’s mind since she was a little stunned and overwhelmed.
However, there wasn’t much time left for her to be in a daze, and Veronica grabbed her hand directly. “Come down with me quickly. Otherwise, it won’t be so easy for us to leave later.”
A puzzled Yvonne blurted, “Why?”
“Because you’re pregnant with his child now, and that’s the best bargaining chip.” Grabbing her hand, Veronica led her down the staircase quickly.
Fortunately, she wasn’t living on a high level, and going down the staircase could prevent Conrad from finding out.
Veronica went downstairs with her as she held Yvonne’s hand tightly. The whole time, Yvonne’s mind was blank, and while they were going down, she suddenly came to a stop.
Unable to move her, Veronica turned back and saw her holding the handrail, standing without moving a muscle as she stared at Veronica, who was a step lower than her.
“Let’s go quickly. Why are you standing there?” Veronica asked with knitted brows.
Yvonne struggled as she withdrew her hand abruptly from Veronica’s grip and shook her head. “I… T-The way he and Xavier treated you is not right, but Conrad has always been good to me. He has never hurt me, and I-I think that he probably loves me.”
Veronica was speechless as her mind shut down momentarily. Finally, she stared at Yvonne on the staircase in disbelief, furrowed her brows tightly, and looked into her eyes for a few seconds.
“Have you lost your mind? Is there something wrong with your brains? How can you tell that Conrad is really in love with you? Damn it, I—”
She couldn’t control herself and wanted to curse, but she stopped herself when the words almost tumbled out of her mouth.
“Veronica, I should believe you, but Conrad said that he loves me. Furthermore, he knows that I’m Zac’s fiancée, but he still chose to be with me and took all the heat for it. So, I should trust him even more! Although I don’t know why he’s doing that to you, I’ll speak with him and tell him to regard you as a friend in the future.”
Yvonne spoke very slowly, just like someone who had received a big shock and hadn’t completely regained their composure yet. Frankly speaking, she didn’t even seem to believe the things she had just said.
Veronica clenched her fists tightly before she pointed a finger at her. “Did you get a kick in the head by a donkey? If Conrad loves you, why didn’t he stand out and announce the relationship you guys have? Why hasn’t he told Zac anything yet? Where did you get that mysterious surge of confidence that tells you that he really loves you?” As those words left her lips, she paused and asked, “I have only one question for you, are you leaving or not?”
At that moment, Yvonne could clearly feel Veronica’s anger and she reckoned that Veronica might blow her top completely later.
“Roni, I really believe you…” she began slowly, but it was clear that she didn’t truly mean the words she said.
“Yes, you believe me, but you also believe Conrad Kings!” Veronica scoffed in resignation. “You’re not leaving, eh? Fine, then I am. Yvonne, remember this. If you’re in regret one day, don’t blame me for not trying to save you.”
