The Life of A Billionaire’s Wife novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 When Do You Plan to Get Married?

Veronica took out a black-colored card which had a major bank’s name embossed in gold. In fact, it looked quite classy.

As soon as the card was taken out, everyone was momentarily stunned and their eyes widened. There was no mistaking the shock on everyone’s faces, especially Tiffany. As soon as she saw the card, she couldn’t contain her anger and her delicate features were distorted with jealousy.

“This… Is this… the Centurion Card?”

Just then, Floch caught his breath in a deep gasp and he instinctively turned to glance at Rachel. At that moment, he was stunned beyond words.

“Ha! Now that’s about right.”

Elizabeth shot a look at Matthew with a happy smile on her face. “You’re Veronica’s brother, so that’s the least you can do.”

“But… Old Mrs. Kings, this is the Centurion Card and it’s got unlimited credit. Matthew gave this to Veronica so casually, but what if she spends unnecessarily? After all, this card can be used to purchase anything and it can even be used to buy a plane!”

After the direct snub, Rachel intentionally came up with an excuse to maintain her image and she purposely analyzed Matthew’s “kind move.” From her words, she intended to put across to everyone that Veronica had, in fact, originated from the countryside so it was very likely that she would splurge frivolously with so much money on her hands.

“Yeah, Mom’s right! Grandma, Veronica just came back to Bloomstead from the countryside, so she hasn’t been exposed to the urban lifestyle. If she’s given too much money all at once, it might not be a good thing for her.” Just then, Tiffany echoed Rachel’s words.

After listening to everyone’s words, Veronica finally understood that the black card in her hand was in fact the renowned Centurion Card that could be used to buy anything, even a plane.

Initially, she had thought that this was a VVIP card because of Matthew’s exalted status. It was no wonder that the salesperson had looked at her strangely when she went shopping, and they had also been especially accommodating.

“It’s no big deal. I only have one god-granddaughter so she deserves all the best things on earth.”

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was extremely happy and she turned to Veronica. “Next time you encounter any problems at all, come to me or your brother. You’ve got us supporting you, and I definitely won’t allow anyone to bully you! As for this money, feel free to use it however you’d like. You don’t have to be shy to use your brother’s money. He’s very rich.”

For some inexplicable reason, Veronica could sense that Elizabeth was very happy. There was a sharp glint in the latter’s clouded eyes as she was lost in thought.

Ultimately, Veronica couldn’t quite comprehend the situation but she was quite sure that Elizabeth’s words were intentionally directed at the Larsons, so Veronica was quite gleeful about it.

At that point, there was nothing else that could be done, so the Larsons’ moods were fouler than ever. Meanwhile, Floch awkwardly put away the card in his hand and he no longer dared to mention a word about inviting Veronica back home.

In the end, they sat down for dinner together. It was then that Floch truly grasped the fact that Elizabeth was indeed very fond of Veronica, so he couldn’t help himself and suggested for the girl to return home with them. However, his suggestion was met with Elizabeth’s objection. As such, none of them dared to bring up that topic again.

After dinner, Floch and Rachel left with Tiffany in tow, while Matthew volunteered to send Veronica home.

Just then, Veronica clung tightly to Elizabeth and whispered her thanks into the latter’s ears. “Grandma, thank you very much for everything today.”

“It’s no big deal. I’m your grandma so it’s natural for me to dote on you. I’m happy enough as long as you come back regularly to visit me.” Elizabeth was truly very fond of Veronica. This was even more so after Veronica saved Elizabeth’s life. That made Elizabeth fonder of Veronica than ever.

Naturally, Elizabeth’s fondness was partly mixed with gratitude toward Veronica for saving her life, coupled with other reasons too.

“Alright. Grandma, do get some rest. We’ll be on our way now.” Veronica waved at Elizabeth and turned around to leave.
