Chapter 231 Conrad’s Appearance

Eavesdropping on the father-son conversation, Veronica felt how unjust Xavier was treated in his own

family.

Even though she knew that he was never fully welcomed within the family, she had never thought that

Hendric would say such cruel things to his own son.

Xavier did not rebuke his father and instead only fell into silence.

Yet, this only made Hendric angrier as he continued, “It’s you who implicated your sister. If you had

stated your relationship clearly with that b*tch, Veronica, would your sister have gotten hurt this way?

Even though she might be the god-granddaughter of Old Mrs. Kings, she hurt my daughter, and for

that, I will make her pay in full!”

Veronica had seen him scolding his own son on the day of Matthew and Tiffany’s engagement. It was

not until she spent half a month with Xavier in Mount Chillad that she found out how biased Hendric

was toward Melissa.

That was why when she struck Melissa, she had already foreseen Hendric targeting her from then on.

Sighing helplessly, Veronica did not go downstairs. Instead, she sat on the stairs and looked outside

through the window before falling into deep thought.

“Melissa was in the wrong about this.”

After a long silence, Veronica heard Xavier’s rebuke.

His words seemed so weak, though. It was as if he knew he was explaining it in vain.

She knew that even though logic was on his side, all this was still useless in front of Hendric.

This was just like how Tiffany and she were both Floch’s daughters, but Rachel and Floch only doted

on Tiffany alone and treated Veronica as nothing more than a nuisance.

Their treatment of the two girls really could be compared to heaven and earth.

Slap!

A crisp and loud slap could be heard in the stairwell as Veronica clenched up.

Then, she heard Hendric shout, “You shut up! What do you see in Veronica to make you speak up for

her? She is just a shameless hussy that stole her sister’s boyfriend and is now leeching off Matthew!

You better get that slut out of your head.”

Such ugly words deeply penetrated Veronica’s heart, but she felt more pity for Xavier.

Standing up, she wanted to dash downstairs right then.

Yet, she stopped after taking a few steps.

This was the most pathetic moment for Xavier. As they had problems in their ‘marriage’, their

relationship was not as close as before.

If she really were to go down now, what identity would she use to face him?

Hesitating once more, Veronica finally stopped in the end and sat back down without doing anything

else.

Soon, the sounds of footsteps came from above.

She thought that the father and son must have left.

Leaning against the wall, Veronica took a long sigh.

Back then, she had promised herself to stay away from wealthy families and not get involved in their

disputes. Yet unfortunately, she had become one of them without even noticing. Even though she still

wanted out, it was not as easy as just saying it.

Veronica, who pitied Xavier’s situation, was most disappointed in him as well. She had viewed him as

her best friend before, but on the day of the wedding, even though he knew the truth, he still chose to

place the blame on her.

Xavier should have known that if they were to find out she was the mastermind behind the scandal of

the wedding, people from everywhere would be eager to kill her. Yet, he still chose to ignore all this!

“Why are you sitting here?”

Behind her, Matthew suddenly appeared and said, as he saw her spacing out. “Be careful that you

don’t catch a cold. It’s quite chilly here.”

Veronica then looked back at him. “How did you know I was here?”

“Thomas said he saw you come down, so I came here to have a look.”

Standing beside her, the man stated, “The doctor said that you are still quite weak, so it’s best that you

lie down and rest for now.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t kick the bucket.”

She had stopped being so playful like she was in the ward earlier and was now serious and solemn.

Standing up, she went upstairs while passing Matthew.

The man frowned at this, as his instincts told him that Veronica must have been agitated just now or

thinking of some unpleasant things for her to display such a worried look.

Matthew then followed her. At this moment, Xavier, who heard the distant footsteps, walked to the

middle of the stairwell and looked up only to have his expression darken.

Veronica?

Why is she here?

Why would a healthy person suddenly appear at the hospital? Is she sick?

Xavier was befuddled as he had no idea what Veronica had been through for two days, so he

immediately had his men investigate.

After a few days, Veronica had gone through all sorts of tests and the results revealed her body to be in

a normal and stable state, so both Matthew and she were discharged from the hospital.

Even though her tests came back showing she was normal, it was this result that made Matthew all the

more worried.

After all, he and Veronica had clearly seen the unknown object entering her body, causing the splitting

headache to happen twice. Besides that, Her power surged after she recovered from the first

headache, making everything seem stranger.

The weirdest thing was that the report showed everything to be normal!

After leaving the hospital, Thomas sent them back to the Kings Residence.

The moment Veronica got out of the car, she thought of something and asked, “Oh, right. How is the

matter of the girl in the basement coming along?”

“Thomas had bought the best grave for her. After they went through with the burial, Thomas

investigated her only to find that she had an uncle who took her in for a few years, so we gave him a

reasonable amount of compensation,” Matthew explained everything truthfully to Veronica.

“That’s good.”

Nodding, she then looked at her new shoes before asking again, “Since we escaped after enduring so

much, you said that we could split the treasures in the secret basement, right? When are you planning

to sell them off?”

The mention of money made her eyes glimmer as she became quite ecstatic.

The man only stood up straight with his hands in his pocket and glanced coldly at her. “As per the law,

the discovery of any tomb or underground vault needs to be reported to the authorities.”

“This underground maze might be something your ancestors left behind, though.”

“This is why I’m having my men investigate the insides of the basement thoroughly to make sure it is

my family’s.”

“Sigh… If only we didn’t have to report this.” Veronica lamented this and felt it was an unfortunate thing.

The thought of so many antiques in the maze intrigued her. Even though most of them were from the

Colonialism era and inexpensive, there were a lot of them, so they should still fetch a pretty penny

when added up.

While chatting, the two walked in the direction of the residence.

Elizabeth, upon knowing that the two would be discharged today, had ordered the chefs to prepare a

lavish lunch early in the morning to welcome those two back. “Oh, Veronica, you’re finally back home.”

The two met with a pacing Elizabeth just as they had passed the front hall and reached the hall that

was used for reception.

Running forward, Veronica gave her a big hug. “Hello, Grandma. It’s so good to be able to see you.”

She smiled as she was genuinely happy to see Elizabeth.

“Come. Let me take a look at you.” Holding Veronica’s hand, Elizabeth observed her from head to toe.

“Oh my, look at you! You’ve become so thin. I’ve already ordered the chefs to cook some soup for you

two, so eat up and replenish your bodies.”

“You’re back, Matthew?”

At this moment, Conrad seemed to appear out of nowhere as a glimmer flashed across his eyes upon

seeing Matthew and Veronica.
