Chapter 673 They All Knew the Truth

“He… He is dead?” Veronica was still in a happy and blissful mood as her thoughts were still on the

man who had been intimate with her earlier, and his scent seemed to be lingering on her.

It was like a child finally getting her favorite blueberry cake. This joy could last her a few days. But now,

she had to pretend that she was in agony because of ‘Matthew’s’ death.

This was extremely difficult for her. “How… How did this happen?”

She wasn’t in the mood to act and had no idea how to proceed. Hence, she pretended to faint right

away. “Young Mistress?”

“Are you alright, Young Mistress?” “Get her to the car and send her to the hospital right away!”

The conversation between the bodyguards and Thomas echoed throughout the surroundings. Then,

they carried Veronica to the car. When they were loading her into the car, they accidentally used too

much force and knocked her head against the car door, which luckily, she didn’t yell in pain.

The car started and drove away. She noticed that the cars behind followed as well. Not long after, they

arrived at the hospital. Veronica was still pretending to be unconscious.

She might have been caught if she had acted differently, but she was completely confident in her act of

being unconscious.

When she was young, Crayson forced her to do extensive training. To avoid them, she would pretend

to faint every now and then. Such deception was already etched in her bones.

After various tests and scans, Veronica was taken to the ward. She heard someone talking initially, and

thereafter, Crayson and Destiny came in.

“Matthew’s death was a blow too heavy for Veronica.”

“That’s true. The Young Lord and President Kings are deeply in love. It must be extremely hard for her

to accept his death.”

They then sighed at the same time and said nothing further.

Meanwhile, Thomas was busy contacting Caleb, Miguel and Skyler throughout the night.

Veronica, on the other hand, actually fell asleep while pretending to be unconscious in the ward.

The following morning, she awoke early. She sat up by herself when she noticed no one else in the

room.

Suddenly, the door swung open. Thomas walked in with his eyes red. His face was haggard, and his

chin stubbled.

Seeing that Veronica was awake, he slowly walked toward her. “Young Mistress, Young Master

Matthew…”

While Thomas was speaking, he turned around to make sure no one was behind him before quietly

closing the door. “Has he been doing well recently?”

His unexpected question stunned her. “He… is fine,” she replied, her eyes tinged with doubt.

Thomas had always been so respectful and polite towards ‘Matthew’ that she assumed he was in the

dark. It turned out that he knew everything since long ago but had kept quiet about it.

This guy can truly hide things!

“I see… That’s good to hear.”

He continued, standing in the ward with one hand on his waist and the other ruffling his hair, “The

imposter is no longer alive. How are we going to act like we’re in pain?”

“When did you realize the truth?” She raised her head and looked at him. “You truly kept it well from

me!”

“Err… I… Uh…”

Thomas gave an awkward smile in response. “I’ve always assumed you were in the dark. Hence, I

don’t dare to tell you in case you unintentionally let the cat out of the bag. But yesterday, after you

emerged from the bushes, I smelt a familiar scent from you and I knew right away that you knew the

truth.” He then added, “I have no other flair besides being particularly sensitive to smell.”

Thomas had previously assumed that Veronica was stupidly unaware of the entire situation, but it

turned out that he was the one who was dumb.

“Did you tell anyone else?” she asked worriedly.

He shook his head at that. “No. But I sense that Caleb is beginning to doubt. Nothing can escape his

hunch as an investigator. But Skyler and Miguel, I believe, do not suspect anything.”
