However, Veronica had received a punch when she was in the car. It had been a heavy punch that had
felt so painful that she couldn’t return to her senses even after a long time.
As Saint Hospital was located in a remote area, there weren’t many cars around. Hence, Veronica had
had no choice but to get into Yvonne’s car when she happened to bump into her, to avoid being caught
up by those people.
Truth was, Veronica had been afraid that the Larson Family would send people with guns to chase after
her.
She probably would be lucky enough to avoid one or two gunshots but no matter how fast she was, she
couldn’t possibly guarantee that she could avoid every single shot when she was surrounded by
bullets.
Besides, during the night when the fire had happened, although she had hidden in the bathroom, she
had deliberately let the fire burn her arm, the back of her foot and something she held rather dear-her
long hair.
The bathroom was connected to the underground sewers. She could have escaped, but she had
purposely waited for rescue so that she could escalate the issue.
Only when the matter was escalated would she get the chance to push the Larson Family into the
limelight.
Nonetheless, Veronica had never expected Yvonne to be another ‘troublesome person’ as well; it was a
pure miscalculation on her part,
When they exited the room, Veronica glanced around and thought that they might be at the storage
area located at the bottom of the ship.
The two of them dashed to the end of the hallway and took a look at the floor plan posted on the
staircase wall before Veronica brought Yvonne upstairs.
They managed to find their way into the employees’ changing room, and Veronica dragged Yvonne in
and they changed into servants’ attire.
After that, Veronica went to the washroom and found some shampoo and soap. She washed her face
repeatedly to remove the layer of dark-colored makeup that she had applied on her face, restoring her
original fair complexion.

She exited the bathroom after a while and called out to Yvonne. “Let’s go.”
“Uh... W–Who are you?” Startled, Yvonne poked her head into the bathroom to take a glance inside
before she asked, “Where’s Veronica?”
“Cut the crap. I’m Veronica. Let’s go,” Veronica impatiently explained.
“Oh, God. How can you be Veronica?! Veronica is so ugly but you are gorgeous.”
“It was all makeup.”
“Can makeup last for ten days?”
“I used special cosmetics products.”
“Oh, my! That’s amazing! Why did you purposely make yourself look so ugly? Who exactly are you?”
Yvonne turned to stare at Veronica, appraising her from all angles with an expectant look in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Veronica’s expression fell. She glared at Yvonne with her clear eyes. “Are you a child? Why
do you have so many questions?”
“I-I was just too astonished.”
In the end, Yvonne couldn’t stifle the urge to touch Veronica’s face. It felt soft and tender, and her
complexion was smooth and delicate. “Goodness, how did you maintain your complexion even after
wearing makeup for ten days? You are actually more beautiful than me. That’s unbelievable.”
“Dig your eyes out if you don’t believe it!” Veronica snapped, which frightened Yvonne and shut her up.
And so, Veronica grabbed Yvonne by her collar and together they exited the room while pushing a
dining cart.
As there weren’t any security cameras at that level, the duo managed to leave the room easily and
threw away their own clothes in different trash cans.
Veronica’s sudden change in her looks had given them the courage to even show up before the
mercenaries. Just like that, Veronica managed to shield Yvonne and successfully avoid a few rounds of
searches.

An hour later, the ship arrived at the port and came to a stop.
Veronica and Yvonne had already changed into another set of clothing and the former even applied a
simple makeup on the latter. Then, they followed the crowd and alighted from the ship.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Thomas were standing at the dock where the cruise ship named Selvy was,
to observe every single person that alighted from the ship. The cruise ship had just arrived at Castron
from Destor.
“Young Master Matthew, there are 1,200 passengers on the Selvy and there are countless rooms in it.
It will be difficult to find Miss Murphy,” Thomas said with a heavy heart.
Meanwhile, Matthew, who was dressed in a suit, stood off at one side with a cigarette between his lips.
“If we can’t find her, we will board the ship and search for her room by room.”
“Yes, sir.” Thomas nodded, then instructed the men dressed in suits, who were standing in a line
beside him, “Keep a close eye on all of them. There cannot be any mistakes.”
The men nodded and spread out to carefully observe every single passenger that alighted from the
cruise ship.
At the same moment, Veronica and Yvonne alighted from the ship, and the former held an anxious
Yvonne by the hand. “Stay calm. Be careful not to expose ourselves.”
When they successfully got down from the ship, they were greeted by a few men in suits at the dock
No matter how calm Veronica was, Yvonne was still flustered. She was so scared that she started
running.
The moment she started running, she attracted the attention of the mercenaries, who were carefully
checking the passengers. They immediately went after her.
“What an idiot!” Veronica cursed. She wanted to ignore the other woman, but she couldn’t bring herself
to do so, so she went after her as well.
As her gaze was focused on Yvonne, she overlooked Matthew, who happened to brush past her.”
“Young Master Matthew, isn’t that Miss Larson? Why is she here?”

Veronica was barely two meters away when she ran past them, but not only Thomas took notice of her,
even Matthew caught sight of her.
“She’s not Tiffany.” Matthew’s expression turned dark, a slight frown between his straight brows on his
dashing face. He observed the woman from her back and the way she ran-it was way different from
Tiffany’s.
On the other hand, before Veronica managed to catch up with Yvonne, the latter was apprehended by
a few mercenaries.
Due to time constraints, the simple makeup wasn’t able to transform Yvonne’s face completely. After
all, extensive makeup that could transform one’s face into someone else’s would take a few hours, at
the very least.
Therefore, Yvonne’s identity was easily exposed.
Two mercenaries grabbed Yvonne, one of them then pointing a gun at her waist. Although the
mercenary had a piece of clothing draped over his wrist so that nobody could see what was underneath
it, Veronica knew very well what he was holding under that clothing
Otherwise, Yvonne wouldn’t just stand quietly without struggling and wait for them to apprehend her.
And so, the few men escorted Yvonne toward the ship. When they walked past Veronica, Yvonne bit
her lip and cast her a glance. However, she chose not to drag her into the situation, so they brushed
past Veronica just like that.
Standing off to one side, Veronica, who took in the entire scene, felt conflicted.
In the end, she still couldn’t bear to just stand there.
“Stop right there!” she shouted.
The few mercenaries paused in their tracks. They exchanged glances with one another before the four
men turned to look back at her.
Veronica was aware that the fact that they were able to enter and exit the ship freely must be due to
their special relationship with those on the ship. However, there were many passengers who were still
disembarking so if she enraged these men, they would definitely harm the innocents.
Hence, Veronica dared not call for external help-not until she had used up her last resort.
“Let go of Yvonne!” she yelled.
“Who the heck are you?” The mercenaries couldn’t recognize her.
“That’s not important, but you have to let go of her!” She glared at the two men coldly. Without wasting
any more time, she charged at them, then she lifted her foot and kicked at the man’s face.
