Chapter 388 A Jaw-Dropping Twist

“Hah. Hahaha…” Yvonne began to laugh. Her eyes were bloodshot and there was still a fiery red slap

mark across her swollen cheek that glistened with tears.

Smiling bitterly, she seemed to be mocking her own ignorance and stupidity while expressing her

heartache after finding out the truth. The truth had stabbed her in the heart and left a gaping wound. It

was so painful that her breath caught in her throat.

She clutched her chest and crumpled into a sobbing mess as she raised her hands to hide her weeping

face. Yvonne’s heartbreaking cries brought out a surge of emotions in Veronica.

While she had not been in contact with Yvonne, she was still concerned for her. Veronica’s heart ached

to see Yvonne crying like this, but she felt a glimmer of relief as well. At least, it was not too late to turn

around.

“Sob… Why? Why did it turn out like this? I’m so stupid! So stupid…” All of a sudden, Yvonne began

slapping herself. “Serves me right! I asked for it! Sob…”

“That’s enough!” Veronica frowned and caught Yvonne’s hand. “Are you trying to ruin your face? Why

put yourself through all this just for a guy like Conrad? So what if you slept with him? Just chalk it down

to bad luck. At least you’ve seen past his facade now, and it’s not too late yet!”

“Sob…” Yvonne’s face was streaming with tears, and she trembled from all her sobbing. She turned

her tearful gaze toward Veronica before reaching out to hug her. “I’m so sorry. I’m such a fool. I even

misunderstood you back then. Sob…”

Veronica was a little unused to being hugged so fiercely by a woman, but she gently patted Yvonne on

the back and said, “It’s not too late to turn around. Everything will be fine. You can cry if you want. You’ll

feel better afterward.”

Yvonne continued to wail her heart out. After crying for some time, she noticed that the bodyguard had

regained consciousness. Yvonne sat up and asked Veronica, “How did you manage to sneak in with

those people?”

“Actually, I contacted Matthew and asked him to help me think of a way to save you.” Veronica had

intended to come to the hotel herself to rescue Yvonne, but after giving it some more thought, she had

to accept that she would be woefully outnumbered.

She had no other resources, so she had to ask Matthew for help.

Yvonne recalled what happened back at Kings Residence. Conrad had instigated her into assuming

that Veronica was hiding her relationship with Matthew.

Therefore, Veronica’s forthcoming attitude made Yvonne feel guilty. “Are they Matthew’s people?”

“Yeah. I think Matthew is a shareholder of this hospital.”

“Oh. That’s good.” Yvonne wiped her tears away once more before standing, then grabbed something

from the side and began to hit the bodyguard.

“B*stard! You’re the one who kidnapped me! I’m going to beat you up!”

She grabbed all the items she could use as a weapon in the ambulance and began to let out her anger

on the bodyguard as she hit him relentlessly. The bodyguard groaned in pain until he eventually

became unconscious again. His head had begun to bleed.

Yvonne finally tossed her weapon aside and stumbled back to the seat beside Veronica. She was

heaving like mad. “I’m so stupid! I’m such a moron!” Yvonne began lambasting herself again.

After taking all her anger out on someone else, she started going in on herself too. Meanwhile, the

ambulance cruised down the streets with the sirens on and took several abrupt turns. Soon enough, it

managed to lose the car that had been tailing it.

When the ambulance stopped at a safe location, Veronica helped Yvonne out. There was a familiar

nondescript car parked on the side of the road which made Veronica feel rather unexpected. Why is he

here?

“Come with me.” Veronica pulled Yvonne over to the car. Once they were seated in the back seat, the

car started up and drove off. Matthew glanced at Veronica in the rearview mirror and asked with a

gentle smile, “Everything okay?”

Yvonne had been lowering her head glumly ever since she got in the car, but once she heard the

familiar voice, she looked up to see that it was Matthew. “You… Why are you here?”

Matthew kept his eyes fixed on the road as he focused on driving. He was as cold as always as he

ignored Yvonne’s question.

Veronica explained, “He probably got worried since Zac can be quite cruel.”

“That’s… that’s true.”

Yvonne nodded and bit her lip. She was touched by what Veronica and Matthew had done to help her.

At the same time, she grew quite worried. “Zac will be terribly upset that you guys rescued me. Would

this… cause trouble for you guys?”

“Don’t worry. Matthew will sort it all out,” Veronica assured her.

“You guys… Are you and Matthew…”

“Shh!”

Veronica made a shushing gesture and added secretively, “I decided to give him a chance, so we’re

dating now.”

“Ah. That’s nice…”

Yvonne used to think that Matthew was a scoundrel, but now that she found out the truth, she realized

that she was the idiot the entire time.

As these thoughts flickered across her mind, she began to wail again. “Sob… You’re so wise, but why

am I so dumb? And you’re still willing to be friends with me… sob…”

Yvonne did not know what would have happened to her if Veronica had not been sincere about their

friendship. If Veronica had been unwilling to come and rescue her, she would probably be facing a fate

worse than death by now.

Her crying was giving Matthew a headache.

He turned on the radio and it started playing some house music.

Yvonne stopped crying. “Matthew, isn’t this a bit much? I’m crying my heart out here, and you’re putting

on such happy music. Are you doing this on purpose?”

“You should celebrate your escape from hell,” Matthew commented airily as he tapped along to the

beat.

“I got my heart broken. Who said anything about hell? I’m upset right now and you’re too…”

However, before she could finish her sentence, she swallowed her insults back down.

Veronica tapped on Matthew’s seat and said, “Change to a different song.”

Since his beloved had spoken, Matthew did as he was told.

“But you didn’t have to cut me off, make out like it never happened, and that we were nothing. And I

don’t even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough…”

All Matthew did was switch to a different song at random.

What a coincidence that it happened to be the song Somebody That I Used to Know!

Veronica was speechless, and when Yvonne heard the lyrics, she exploded. “Matthew Kings! You’re

doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!”

Matthew shrugged in innocence. “It’s on shuffle, so it has nothing to do with me.”

“You! Sob…”

Once again, Yvonne drowned in her own tears as she began to wail so pitifully.

Veronica felt a growing headache, but she did not know how to comfort Yvonne, so she just passed her

some tissues.

Soon, the floor was littered with tissues.

Just then, Yvonne’s phone started ringing.

As she continued wiping her tears, she checked her phone and saw that it was a foreign number.

It most likely belonged to Zac.

Yvonne held her phone and wanted to decline the call, but she stilled for a moment and chose to

answer the call instead.

“Yvonne, where did you f*cking run off to…”

“Zac, you wanted to know who the father is, right?”

Yvonne cut Zac off and came clean. “It’s Conrad Kings! He told me that you’re a shameless womanizer

who goes around sleeping with tons of women in Castron, so that’s why I didn’t want to be with you.

When… when I was sleeping… he… he forced himself on me! Sob…”

What a jaw-dropping twist. Veronica nearly fell out of her seat.

It was such a sly trick too!
