Chapter 499 She’s Still Alive

In the bustling Eksdale Street, a shop was having its grand opening. The store management team had

invited a lion dance team to perform a lion dance, and a lot of customers gathered by the entrance.

Since the people in Castron still practiced this lion dance tradition for their store opening ceremony,

Veronica stopped to watch. She admired the fantastic performance put up by the lion dance team and

felt the happiness she once felt during her childhood.

It seems that I rarely got to see any lion dance performance as I grew up. After all, this tradition is no

longer practiced in Destor.

She stood amongst the crowd and watched as a yellow lion stepped on the pillar, shook its head,

blinked its big eyes, and then jumped to the high pillar in front of her. Later, it did a backflip and jumped

back.

Drums and cymbals accompanied this whole performance, and it won countless applause.

Right at this moment, Veronica spotted a familiar figure in a goose-yellow cardigan appearing at the

door of the store.

No! It’s not a familiar figure, but a face that I can never forget!

The face that looks exactly like mine!

It’s—Tiffany!

Tiffany?!

But isn’t she dead?

At once, Veronica felt a chill running down her spine, and she couldn’t help shivering. Likewise, her

mind went blank with shock.

Just like that, she looked at the person on the opposite side with the lion dance team in between them

and met the person’s gaze.

The next moment, Veronica turned around, squeezed herself out of the crowd, and chased after

Tiffany.

She pushed her way through the crowd, arrived at where she saw Tiffany, and grabbed the woman in

the goose yellow cardigan. “Tiffany?”

The woman turned back, and Veronica saw it was an unfamiliar face. The woman scolded her in

displeasure, “Who are you? You must have made a mistake! What a weirdo.”

When Veronica realized that, her hand grabbing the woman’s cardigan stiffened slightly. She

instinctively scanned the person from head to toe as she apologized sincerely. “I’m sorry. I’ve got the

wrong person.”

This person in front of me doesn’t resemble Tiffany even the slightest.

It’s not her at all.

Veronica’s eyes darted around the crowd. Alas, those people were all standing there watching the

wonderful lion dance and no one was walking amongst the crowd.

Everything seemed calm in the hustle and bustle.

Although it looked like Tiffany had never appeared, Veronica was sure that she was absolutely right.

Veronica left the crowd and immediately did a quick run around the area. She kept chasing and

searching, yet she found that those people on the street were either walking normally, playing, or

talking on the phone. She couldn’t detect any individuals acting suspiciously.

By the end of it, Veronica stopped in her frantic search as she ruffled her hair in agitation.

Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder. “Veronica?”

The tap frightened her, and she spun around, thinking it was Tiffany.

However, she saw Ruka and Emilson instead of Tiffany.

“Where did you go? Emilson and I had been looking all over for you!” Ruka scolded. Then, she noticed

that Veronica’s expression was a little off. Thus, she frowned and asked, “What’s the matter? Did you

see something?”

Ruka copied her when she saw that Veronica was searching for something. Yet, she didn’t see

anything out of the ordinary.

“N-Nothing. I think I saw my classmate from elementary school just now. Too bad she walked too fast,

and I couldn’t catch up with her,” Veronica said perfunctorily as she came up with a plausible excuse.

“Are you silly?” Ruka patted her on the shoulder. “You can just send your classmate a text if you can’t

catch up with her.”

“She’s a classmate from many years ago. How would I have her contact information?”

“Ask your classmates, and you should be able to know. Communication these days is so easy. You can

easily find anyone just by the tip of your finger.”

“Forget it. It’s not a big deal. Why go through so much effort to find someone?” Veronica waved her

hand. “Let’s go.”

“Sure. Let’s go,” said Emilson.

Later, the three of them walked across the road. As they walked, Veronica didn’t forget to turn back at

the crowd, especially at the store that was holding an event. There was a tinge of doubt in her eyes.

It’s clear that Tiffany is dead. But why is she still alive?

After Tiffany died, Randy disappeared as well. Floch and Rachel also sold the company and fled to

Castron.

Castron?

Aren’t I in Castron?!

Veronica immediately felt goosebumps all over her body as chills ran down her spine.

“Veronica? Veronica? Earth to Veronica!”

Ruka was talking to Veronica, yet she just lowered her head and walked forward like she couldn’t hear

her at all.

Finally, Ruka patted her shoulder hard. “Veronica, are you hiding something from me?”

Veronica suddenly came back to her senses and shook her head. “No. Why would you say that? I was

just thinking, where can Hendrey go if he disappeared like you said he was.”

At the mention of Hendrey’s name, Veronica instantly thought of something. Hendrey?

Tiffany?

Back then, news of Tiffany’s death came right after Hendrey left Bloomstead.

Now that I encounter Tiffany in Castron, does that mean she and Hendrey have a close relationship?

Somewhere deep down, Veronica’s instinct was telling her that both Tiffany and Hendrey must have

had some kind of relationship.

Nonetheless, she currently couldn’t quite figure out what that relationship was.

Ruka sighed at the mention of Hendrey’s uncertain whereabouts. But then, her eyes lit up. “Oh, by the

way, Matthew came to Castron today too.”

“Matthew? H-He’s here too?”
