Chapter 97

Since the chief had already said so, Veronica could only accept the fact calmly.

After all, this was not the city where they had plenty of choices to choose from.

She took out her towel and body wash from her luggage and proceeded to head out to the pond by the

entrance with a flashlight. Sitting on the stone used for washing clothes, Veronica dipped her foot in the

cool water before swinging her legs, making the water splash about.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

The sound of the frogs croaking paired with the grasshoppers chirping made for a relaxing scene.

Suddenly, small balls of green light appeared in the dark, to which Veronica looked at dazily.

When she was young, fireflies were a common sight. However, now that she was an adult, she rarely s

aw them again, so she didn‘t expect such a large number of them here.

Splash.

Veronica jumped into the pond and took a satisfying bath since there was nobody around in the dead of

night. –

The pond at

the entrance was deep with cobblestones underneath while its water all came from the mountain.

After swimming for a while, she took a bath as she

sat on the washing stone with soaked clothes before washing her hair. Basking in the night wind, she fe

lt a tad bit cold yet she wasn‘t drowsy at all and didn‘t want to sleep either.

Crack.

The sound caused Veronica to turn her head behind as she saw a man lighting a cigarette. From the di

m light illuminated by the lighter, she recognized at once that the man was Matthew.

“When did you arrive?”

Was he actually peeping on her when she was taking a bath?

Although she was wearing activewear that consisted of a pair of shorts and a T–

shirt, she didn‘t accidentally reveal anything. Rather, it was because he already knew that she was ther

e and still chose to linger around.

What a shameless man.

Matthew leaned against a tree as he silently took a puff from his cigarette; the sight of his cigarette bec

oming dark before lighting up again made it seem like there was a glowing red firefly there.

Matthew‘s silence merely notified Veronica that he was annoyed about her scolding him earlier in the d

ay.

However, she didn‘t care enough to coax him; she merely stood up to return to her

room,

After shutting the door, she changed into another set of clothes and lay on the bed.

An insomniac Melissa saw her lying

down and closed in to ask, “So, you‘re my brother‘s girlfriend. I heard from Dad that you intentionally m

ade yourself look ugly. What was that all about? Was it because you looked like Tiffany‘s doppelganger

?”

The Larsons, who had exposed Veronica‘s identity, repeatedly claimed multiple times in front of the me

dia that they were going to bring her back to the Larson Residence as one of them.

So, it wasn‘t strange that the Crawfords knew about her identity.

Acting like a gossipy middle–aged woman, Melissa continued to ask enigmatically, “Why

did the Larson Family abandon you back then? Was there something wrong with you?”

“I don‘t know whether my body is ill or not, but what I do know is that something‘s wrong with

your brain!” Veronica retorted angrily as she raised her head.

“Wow, Roni. You‘re so fierce.”

Now that she was resting face down on the bed, Melissa swung her legs and propped her face up with

her hands to look at Veronica. “No wonder my brother likes you so much. I fancy your personality too, b

ut I prefer Matthew. Hey, I also heard that you have saved Old Mrs. Kings before. She wants to recogni

ze you as her god granddaughter, is that right?”

The seldom happenings in the upper echelon would often spread like wildfire.

“Why are you asking something that you know the answer to?”

Veronica wasn‘t really in the mood to humor Melissa.

“So, it‘s real?”

The moment she heard

Veronica‘s words, Melissa tugged on her elbows and probed, “That‘s great news! Can you tell me more

about Matthew?”

A blunt Veronica replied, “You‘re not paying, so why should I?”

“Oh, money. That I have. Hehe, I don‘t have much in life except money.” Then, Melissa pulled her mobil

e out and continued, “I‘ll add you on Whatsapp then and transfer the money to you. Oh right, there‘s no

signal here. Wait for a short while, please.”

As if she was mumbling to herself, she took a bag by the corner of the bedside and handed a wad of ca

sh to Veronica after digging through it. “Here, this is for you. So, can you now tell me the things that I w

ant to know about Matthew?”

The cash in question all came in new notes and wrapped with a white paper strip.

Staring at the character printed on the note, a baffled Veronica asked, “Why did you bring so much cas

h to Almeida County?”

“I heard that there would be no signal here and we can only use cash here. So, I brought a hundred tho

usand in cash with me.” Melissa breathed in deeply in the midst of her explanation. “If I had known that

this god–

forsaken place would not even have a supermarket, I would not have brought it along. It nearly killed m

e, carrying all that money.”

All the words that she mumbled were heard by Veronica, whose eyes sparkled upon realizing that a de

al could be made.

Melissa suddenly looked extra pleasant in Veronica‘s eyes. “Everything‘s up for negotiation, actually. T

his includes me telling you all about him. Heck, I could even arrange a date with him for you, if you so

wish. The only problem is…”

Veronica trailed off as she reached out to rub her thumb and index finger together.

The gesture was basically self–explanatory.

“Really? Can you really set up a date for me and Matthew?”

Melissa‘s eyes glimmered brightly upon hearing this.

“Of course I can.”

Thumping her chest, Veronica looked extremely confident.

Apart from other matters, it was a piece of cake for her to ask Matthew out.

Thinking of this, Veronica was suddenly reminded of something, “Didn‘t you know that

Matthew is already engaged to Tiffany?”

“Hmph, so what? Even married couples can divorce, so them being engaged is not an obstacle for me.”

Veronica, who raised her right eyebrow; had the glimmer of stars in her eyes. “Deal. So, what do you wa

She then picks up the note of ten thousand before folding it in a ninety degree angle before her fingerna

Reality was hinting at her that there was more to be profited from this encounter.

“Tell me about Matthew and Tiffany then,” Melissa requested as she lay beside Veronica.

“There‘s nothing to talk about her. How about you increase the price and I‘ll help to arrange a meeting b

Veronica was thinking about how best she could profit from this.

“Hmm, that‘s a good plan too. If you can help me arrange a date with Matthew, I‘ll give you…”

Melissa then proceeded to produce twenty thousand from the wads of cash

she had in her hand. “Here‘s another twenty thousand, so help me arrange a meeting with him.”

“Are you giving me thirty thousand in one shot?”

“Is that not enough? I can add on another twenty thousand.”

“I‘m… Hahaba, it‘s enough.”

A wealthy friend was always a good friend, so Veronica had decided to befriend the naive and innocent

“Oh my God, Veronica, you‘re too nice!” An excited Melissa hugged her with twinkling eyes. “I love you s

—“.

“Stop. Stop. Stop!”

Veronica was someone who never felt guilty about the barrage of compliments, but she now had a migra

wait here.”
