Chapter 232 Being Caught Red-Handed

Pouting, Veronica went to the first floor and leaned against the railing while looking down onto the ground

floor. Although the luxurious villa did somewhat overwhelm her, it did not make her lose all sense of

reason.

She frowned before glaring at Matthew. “Matthew, are you done yet? Don’t think that just because you’re

Grandma’s grandson that I will bear with you again and again! I do admit that you’re very rich, but that

doesn’t mean I would accept anything you give me. Do you think that you could persuade me to stay with

you by using this fantasy-like castle? Too bad, but I’m not some spoiled princess, nor am I Cinderella!”

A sudden burst of rage welled up within Veronica. “I still haven’t held you accountable for the incident

with the sleeping pills. But, I’m now giving you one last chance, so I hope you don’t push your luck!”

Stating that, she then snorted and left.

Whether Matthew liked her or not, it was not a valid excuse for them to do the deed by using sleeping

pills.

Yet, although Veronica had been cursing Matthew as a scumbag all this time, she had not realized that

with her temper, if any other man had dared to drug her, she would make them pay no matter the cost.

She had only treated Matthew as an exception.

Maybe it was because he had given his first time to her, and he had never done this with another woman

after that. Or maybe it was because she had always treated him differently.

It was just that she had never discovered these feelings herself.

“Stop right there!”

Matthew was pissed to the point where veins were popping from his forehead.

D*mn it. I thought that we had been through this.

Calling her out, he then pulled on her arm. “What will it take for you to finally believe me?”

Matthew was by no means a patient man, but he had asked Veronica this same question several times

now, which was slowly driving him mad.

“Let go!”

Shaking him off, Veronica said, “Just staying away from me is the best way to prove yourself innocent.”

Matthew did not reply to her.

That was how the conversation ended.

Turning around, Veronica went downstairs and left.

For a woman who was not a gold digger, such a lavish homestead was nothing more than proof of how

rich a person was, and it had nothing to do with her.

Out of options, Matthew also went down and watched Veronica get in her car and drive off before he took

a deep breath and hit a pillar beside him.

This was the first time in his life that getting a person’s trust was so difficult.

It was as if Veronica’s first impression of him was the final verdict and that no amount of things he did

later would change her thoughts of him.

…

After Veronica left the villa, she returned to the city center.

In the afternoon, she had rented an apartment meant for one nearby her company thanks to a property

agency.

Since the place was already fully-furnished, she moved in on the same day.

One day, it was nearing mid-day as she went out to buy some necessities and ingredients at the

supermarket.

After parking in the car park opposite of Walmart, Veronica was about to enter the supermarket when she

saw a familiar silhouette.

Veronica, who was wearing sunglasses, was stunned as she took them off and found that the person

was Yvonne.

When she was taken by Matthew’s men on the day of the wedding, it was Yvonne who hired

mercenaries to come save her. It was also then that she knew that Yvonne had purposefully gotten close

to her with an ulterior motive.

Even now, she did not know how Yvonne knew her precise location that day.

Following her in secret, Veronica wanted to see what kind of people Yvonne met with daily.

Upon seeing Yvonne enter a place called Autumn Cafe, she wore her sunglasses and went in.

Veronica kept her distance as she followed her from the ground floor to the first floor.

Standing at the entryway of the first floor, Veronica looked around before finding Yvonne seated on the

right side of the room.

Yvonne sat opposite to a married couple whom Veronica knew very well, Floch and Rachel!

This all started with the sudden appearance of Yvonne. Veronica only wanted to follow her out of

curiosity, but she had never guessed that she would see the three of them sitting together.

Even though Floch was a businessman, the place they chose was a relatively secluded and cheaper

cafe. They even sat in the corner of the room, which was not a private room meant for conducting any

deals.

Besides that, Floch would always bring his secretary for business deals, but this time, accompanying him

was only Rachel, who was dressed normally.

All the signs only pointed to one truth, and that was… They were not here to talk about business.

“Hello. Excuse me, you’re in the way.” A man behind Veronica said to her.

Veronica was shocked, and she attracted Floch’s gaze. After that, Rachel and Yvonne also looked over

in her direction.

The moment Yvonne realized it was Veronica, her pupils dilated, with her face becoming pale.

Subconsciously, Yvonne looked back at the married couple before approaching Veronica. “Veronica,

fancy seeing you here. What a coincidence. I’m here to talk business with Mr. Larson. Do you want to

join us for some food?”

Veronica took off her sunglasses as she looked at her with a raised eyebrow and smirked. “Really? What

kind of business can a makeup artist such as yourself and the Larsons conduct?”

After all, she had never heard of the Larson Family being involved in the makeup industry before.

Just as the two were conversing, Floch and Rachel walked over with a solemn expression. “President

Spencer, you were actually friends with Veronica?”

“Hmph, and she even wants to collaborate with us. What do you mean by inviting Veronica?” Rachel

rolled her eyes. “I haven’t even sought compensation from her for ruining my daughter’s wedding. Now

that we know you’re her friend, consider this talk done!”

“What? Hey, President Larson, Mrs. Larson, please hear me out.”

Yvonne was panicking now as she reached out and grabbed onto Rachel only for her to fling her arm

away. “From today onward, we will never conduct any business with your company ever again. Hmph.

Let’s go, hubby!”

Rachel then left with Floch. As Floch brushed by Veronica, he glared fiercely and pointed his fingers at

her while saying tremblingly, “You’ve ruined Tiffany’s life! I, Floch Larson, will never let you go! You just

wait!”

Even though they were both their daughters, Veronica had never understood why her parents detested

her so much, to the point where they wanted her dead at all times.

Standing proudly, Veronica snorted, “I’ll be waiting.”

The couple left after that.

Their haughty attitude only made Veronica feel disgusted.

On the contrary, it was this scene that made her doubt herself. What kind of relationship do the Larsons

have with Yvonne? Were they really here just to talk business?

Bewildered, she could not make sense of anything.

“Seriously, I cannot understand why, even though you and Tiffany are both their daughters, they don’t like

you. They really are strange people!”

Flipping her hair, Yvonne had one hand on her hip as she sighed hard and seemed a bit perplexed.
