Chapter 158
After leaving Matthew‘s apartment, the group of four headed for the largest bridal shop in Bloomstead by
car.
The bridal shop was a branch of a hugely popular international wedding dress fashion label that was
favored by many due to the and good–looking design of its wedding dresses. By the time Matthew
and the others arrived at the bridal shop, Thomas had called the shop‘s owner in advance and asked
that the place be cleared of other customers. Therefore, when the group entered the bridal shop, there
was no one else inside other than the staff members.
The bridal shop‘s staff members stood in the lobby in two rows while respectfully awaiting the arrival of
the big shots. Upon seeing Matthew and the others, the manager immediately went up and greeted
them. “You must be Young Master Matthew. Please come inside,” she said. “We‘ve prepared some
snacks for you guys. Please come with me.”
Matthew didn‘t want to waste his time in such a place, though. “It‘s not necessary. Just take her to try on
the wedding dresses right away,” he replied. Then, he turned and said to Tiffany, “Go take a look and see
what kind of wedding dress you‘d prefer.”
“Alright!” Tiffany replied happily with unconcealed joy and happiness on her smiling
face.
At Milady Bridal Boutique, every wedding dress was designed by the top designers of a mainstream
international wedding dress fashion label. Moreover, the bridal shop would release a new one–of–a–kind
limited–edition wedding dress every month, making the shop the dream place for countless women.
“Please come with me, Miss Larson. Young Master Matthew, please have a seat with your friends at the
lounge,” the manager said to the group.

With that, Tiffany followed the manager to the second floor to pick out her wedding dress, whereas
Matthew and the others sat in the lounge on the first floor while having tea. Despite the fact that Matthew
was about to get married very soon, there was no trace of joy on his face.
Skyler exchanged a brief look with Caleb. Unable to hold back his curiosity, he leaned close to Matthew
and asked, “Matt, marriage is for life. Have you thought this through?” Once the marriage was
formalized, there would be no turning back. There were some things that mustn‘t be handled in a
slapdash way.
Iloiding his cup of tea with a contemplative look, Matthew rubbed the cup‘s surface liginly with his slender
fingers.
“Drew is right.” The taciturn Caleb patted Matthew on the shoulder with a mournful
sigh.
Matthew didn‘t respond to either of the two men‘s words for a long time. It wasn‘t until he finished his cup
of tea that he put down the cup, rose from his seat, and said, “Let‘s go upstairs to pick out our suits.”
With that, he stood up and headed for the second floor.
Skyler and Caleb looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. After that, they shrugged and shook their
heads in helplessness.
At Milady Bridal Boutique, Tiffany had a hard time containing her excitement as she basked in joy the
whole time. This was the happiest day for her in decades. After bustling about from noon until 3:00PM,
she finally picked a.global limited–edition wedding dress that was one of the most beautiful wedding
dresses at the shop.
After settling on the wedding dress in satisfaction, Tiffany left with Matthew. She knew it would be too late
to have a wedding dress made to order right now on short notice, so she had no choice but to choose a
limited–edition wedding dress. A little impatience spoils great plans, so I can‘t make a fuss because of a
wedding dress. Otherwise, if Matthew breaks off our engagement then, I‘ll regret it very much in the
future.
Upon returning to Dragon‘s Creek Villa, Tiffany said goodbye to Matthew and went back to her home.
Rachel and Floch weren‘t home. Planning to tell them the surprise after they came back, Tiffany returned
to her bedroom to take a rest. She went upstairs with a spring in her step while humming to herself.
However, as soon as she lay down in bed, her cell phone rang. It was a phone call from the number that
she had dialed this morning at Twilight Condominium to have the surveillance videos looked into. “Did
you get your hands on the surveillance footage?”
Twilight Club had surveillance cameras installed, but it was almost impossible for ordinary people to get
their hands on the surveillance videos due to the high–end luxury club‘s excellent privacy. However,
Tiffany didn‘t hesitate to spend a lot of money to find out the truth in order to investigate the relationship
between Veronica and Matthew.
“The footage has been emailed to you. Check it yourself” the caller replied before hanging up.
Tiffany, who had been somewhat tired just a moment ago, was instantly wide awake. i caming against
the head of the bed, she opened the email on her cell phone, and sure enough, there was a surveillance
video attached. When she tapped on the video 10 play it, what she saw was the scene of Veronica
stepping out of the elevator as the elevator door opened. However, when she continued playing the
video, it suddenly cut to the scene where Veronica and Matthew entered the elevator together. The
timestamp on the lower right corner of the video showed that the scene was recorded the night before.
.
Initially, Tiffany had thought that the person had emailed her the entire video, but she didn‘t expect the
person to compile all the scenes that had Veronica in them into the video. After playing the video for only
about half a minute, she noticed from the video‘s timestamp that not only had Veronica gone in and out
of Matthew‘s private apartment before, but she even had the access card to the private elevator. To the
best of Tiffany‘s recollection, only Matthew and Thomas had access cards to the top floor, so she never
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexpected Veronica to have the card as well.
Tiffany‘s face turned ghastly pale all of a sudden. Clutching the phone in her left hand, she clenched her
teeth hard even while continuing to watch the video, and her eyes were ablaze with violent rage. One day, two days, three days... One week, two weeks... According to the time when Veronica had first
appeared on the surveillance video, she had stayed in Matthew‘s apartment at Twilight Condominium for
17 days. 17 days!
Without Tiffany‘s knowledge, Veronica and Matthew had lived together for 17 days. Tiffany couldn‘t
imagine what had happened during the 17 days Veronica and Matthew had spent living together. After
all, Veronica had once been pregnant with Matthew‘s baby. Since they had slept together before, there
was no way they wouldn‘t sleep together again while living together.
Tiffany only felt a suffocating pain in her chest. She felt as though she couldn‘t breathe; even her mind
went blank, as though it had been deprived of oxygen. Clutching her cell phone in her hand, she kept
gasping for breath as her chest heaved up and down. In the end, she even shivered uncontrollably. “That
b*tch! That f*cking b*tch!” She swore to herself to vent her anger.
Suddenly, Tiffany‘s belly twinged. Clapping her hand over her belly, she thought to herself, I‘ve got to calm down. I mustn‘t get angry. The baby is my only bargaining chip. If I miscarry the baby in a fit of rage, I‘ll pay too dearly for my whistle. Despite her towering rage, she chose to calm down for the first
time, but tears of humiliation ran down the corners of her eyes. She tried to calm down by taking deep
breaths, but it took a long time before she recovered herself.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Rachel pushed the door open and came in. “So you‘re back, Tiffy! How is it? Did you get to try on your
wedding dress with Matthew today?” Having learned from the servants that Tiffany had come home, she
entered Tiffany‘s room, only to find how ghastly her daughter looked. “Oh, dear!” she exclaimed at once,
before sitting on the edge of the bed and putting her hand over Tiffany‘s forehead. “What‘s wrong with
you? Are you feeling unwell or something? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?”
Upon feeling how much Rachel cared about her, Tiffany felt both aggrieved and resentful; she resented
her mother for giving birth to Veronica after giving birth to her back then. If it weren‘t for Veronica, that b*tch, I would‘ve gone up in the world long ago and become the happiest woman in the world by now. Not only does that b*tch rob me of my sense of security, but she also seduced my man and shamelessly slept with Matthew while I‘m engaged to him! Struggling to control her emotions, she asked, “Mom, what
would you do if somebody wants to rob your daughter of her happiness?”
