After Veronique made the announcement, the king of Eskaria also published an announcement on his social media platform. He confirmed Veronique's claim and told the world that Anonymous was the one who had performed the craniotomy on him.
According to him, he had never told the public about it because Anonymous wasn't motivated by money and fame. Also, she didn't want to attract people's attention. In order to grant her wish, the royal family of Eskaria didn't make any clarification when the others claimed that Veronique was the one who had performed the surgery.
Before he ended his announcement, he had apologized to the world for telling a white lie.
Since the king of Eskaria and Veronique made the announcements one after another, it was very convincing.
However, the netizens were puzzled as to why these two individuals had suddenly made such announcements.
Didn't they say Anonymous doesn't like the spotlight? What they're doing now is the exact opposite of what they had agreed to do back then, no?
In the visiting room, Veronique told Bailey about what was happening.
“Bay, I'm sorry. I've taken the initiative and exposed the truth about what happened three years ago. After I made the announcement, the king of Eskaria contacted me. When he found out you were in trouble, he also told the public that Anonymous had performed the craniotomy on him back then.”
Bailey couldn't help but laugh. She then sighed and held her forehead helplessly. “I just wanted a peaceful life as a commoner. Is that too much to ask for? Since I was known as Snowflake, my life has been so difficult. Now that my identity as Anonymous has been exposed, I dare not to imagine what my life will be like in the future.”
Veronique snickered and joked, “Well, it seems like God doesn't want you to lead a carefree life! Just accept your fate, okay? I've already contacted Juliana and told her to bring your medical certificates here. Tomorrow, tell the authorities everything and get out of this place. This is not a place a big shot like you should be at.”
Bailey laughed and shook her head. “Is there no other way? I really don't want to be known to the public as Anonymous. I'm a doctor, and my mission is to save people. I don't want it to be something I brag about. Besides, I don't want to use the name of Anonymous to gain fame again.”
Veronique reached out her hand to hold Bailey's hand. In a helpless tone, she said, “Mrs. Luther is rather relentless. Even Artemis is planning on sitting idly and enjoying the show. It doesn't seem like he's bothered by how you're going to embarrass his mother. Since that's the case, why should you keep treating that old woman with respect? If anything, I think you should just give her a slap in the face so that she won't dare to act all arrogant as she is now.”
Upon hearing that, Bailey lazed on the desk and smiled wryly. “You're right. She's not going to let me go. Besides exposing my identity as Anonymous, I don't think there's anything else I can do. The thing is, Old Mr. Chivers needs medical attention as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would've just stayed here for a while and kept Mrs. Luther happy for a few more days. No matter what, she's still Zayron and Susan's grandma.”
Veronique pursed her lips and snickered silently.
It seems like no matter what, evil still triumphs over good. When she was abroad, no one could manage to force her to expose her hidden identities. But after she is back in Hallsbay, the unreasonable woman in the Luther family has managed to corner her. I guess only Mrs. Luther, in the whole of Hallsbay, is able to do that.
Meanwhile, two men were sitting on a couch in a mansion in the suburbs. One of the men was in his forties, and the other man was in his early twenties.
The younger man looked at the older man and hesitated for a while before asking, “Master, how did you come to such a conclusion?”
Cadence swirled the wine in his wineglass and answered slowly, “When I bumped into Ms. Bailey a few days ago, I felt as if I've met her before. In fact, she looked rather familiar. However, I couldn't recall who she was. Judging from what Veronique and the king of Eskaria did today, Anonymous must've landed in hot water, and they're trying to help her out of her predicament by bringing up her past contributions. Coincidentally, Ms. Bailey was sent to jail today. Could there be such a coincidence?”
The younger man was dumbstruck.
