Chapter 259 Hendrey, Who Fell From the Sky
The host did not pay much attention to Veronica’s knees, but Ivana came over at first instance and
inquired, “Are you alright?”
Veronica shook her head and answered, “It’s nothing serious.”
“Hello, Ivana. Model No. 82 is wearing your company’s final jewelry series. It is indeed gorgeous and
extraordinary. Could you elaborate on your design inspiration and ideas for us?” asked the host.
Ivana nodded, took over the microphone, and answered, “The inspiration behind this design came from
Miss Veronica Murphy. We were having tea one day and she shared the story of her first love with me.
The love she described resembled the warmth of the sun on a winter day. The warm love she
experienced instantly inspired me to design the First Love series. That is also why I decided that Miss
Murphy should be my model this time.”
The fictitious background story was crafted to mask Veronica’s inability to do a proper catwalk, but who
would have thought that Veronica was actually a gifted model?!
Even when Ivana saw how great Veronica’s stage performance was, she insisted on using the fictional
background story.
“Oh, really? That’s very creative, Ivana.” The host smiled before turning to Veronica and asked, “I
believe that besides me, everyone here is very curious to hear what kind of unforgettable first love it
was to be such a great inspiration for Ivana. Would you mind sharing it with us, Miss Murphy?”
Then, he handed over the microphone to her.
She took the microphone, nodded slightly, and kept a polite smile while pondering what to say.
Ivana scooched beside her and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be nervous. Just be casual and tell them
the story of your first love.”
Veronica grasped the microphone and her thoughts wandered back to a few years ago. “It was a
freezing winter back then. I rode a bicycle to school and fell hard on the side of the road that had frozen
a little. At that time…”
She looked down at her knee as she spoke and gave a mock smile. “Yeap. I have the same injury on
my knee right now. It was purple and swollen, and I couldn’t walk at all.”
As soon as the photographer’s lens switched to aim at Veronica’s knee, he zoomed in for a close-up.
Her knee was seriously injured at this point and it had turned swollen and purple. Blood vessels could
even be seen underneath the injury.
“At that time, he happened to be passing by. He noticed that I couldn’t get up due to the pain, so he
came up to me enthusiastically and carried me to the infirmary. That was the beginning of my first love.”
Veronica did not have stage fright at all as she slowly shared her first encounter with her first love.
However, just as she handed the microphone back to the host, she happened to see a glimpse of a
familiar person sitting beside the runway…
It was Matthew Kings!
As she met Matthew’s deep and chilling gaze, Veronica’s heart skipped a beat and she gulped
nervously. When… When did he arrive?
Veronica was so shocked that she quickly exhaled a deep breath, not daring to look directly into his
cold eyes.
“It sounds like a simple and beautiful relationship. Anyway, since we’re on the topic, you might as well
satisfy everyone’s curiosity. Would you mind telling us whether you still have feelings for your first
love?”
The host held a device in her hand. She took a glimpse at the message she just received and tossed
out a private question to Veronica in public.
At that moment, many people thought that the host was being ignorant by asking such a question.
However, he had already handed the microphone to Veronica; it was obvious that he had no intention
of giving her a choice.
Ivana, who was sitting next to her, immediately interrupted, “Miss Murphy’s leg is injured, so why don’t
we—”
“It’s fine.” Veronica shook her head and happily took the microphone from the host.
At that moment, her eyes collided with Matthew’s once again. The two looked at each other from a
distance, both having complicated and heavy gazes.
After taking a deep breath, she clenched the microphone tightly and responded, “Yes, I do. I will never
forget him.”
Her sentence sounded like she was answering a reporter, but she was, in fact, staring directly at
Matthew when she uttered those words.
Now that he was here, Veronica was placed in a difficult situation, but it was better to take this
opportunity to give Matthew the answer he had always wanted.
Moreover, Hendrey had long gone abroad. Since she had not announced his name to the public before,
she had nothing to worry about unless… Hendrey was at the scene!
Once Veronica was done speaking, the two best friends, Skyler and Caleb, who were sitting beside
Matthew, looked at each other and both subconsciously distanced themselves from Matthew.
Terrible damage had been done.
At the same time that Veronica and Matthew looked at each other, someone in the audience stood up.
Ruka, who had been observing everything from backstage, was extremely jealous of Veronica’s
performance earlier.
Initially, she wanted to embarrass Veronica and make her a laughing stock, so she tampered with her
shoes, but who knew that Veronica would be able to complete a perfect catwalk even on tiptoes?
Not only did Veronica manage to save herself from embarrassment, she was also even praised by
everyone.
Ruka’s jealousy was strong, but when she noticed that Matthew was sitting below the stage while
Veronica was talking about her first love on the runway, Ruka suddenly found herself to be a wicked
person.
The fact that Veronica dared to tell the public about her first love when she was aware that Matthew
was there meant that she was not in love with Matthew.
Ruka fell into deep thought and when she raised her head, she saw someone standing among the
crowd.
Based on a woman’s intuition, Ruka somehow sensed that the way that person was looking at Veronica
was a little different.
She immediately walked up to the lighting engineer and instructed him, “Quick! Turn on the lights.”
As Ruka was the eldest daughter of the Dame Family, she had a special status in Bloomstead.
Naturally, most people would not dare to oppose her.
The lighting engineer did not want to offend Ruka, so he shot a beam of light at the man who stood up.
All of a sudden, that person became the focus of the crowd as everyone looked in his direction.
Standing on the runway, Veronica could clearly see the man shrouded in white lights from her angle.
Her gaze wavered, and her breathing stopped.
How…
How could it… be him?
“Hendrey Johnson?” Veronica could not help calling out Hendrey’s name, but she was still holding the
microphone, so her voice was amplified countless times.
As she was extremely surprised, her speech slowed down a lot, but when everyone heard what she
just said, they took it for an affectionate call.
Everyone looked at the man named Hendrey and began to whisper to each other.
“That man must be Veronica’s first love, right?”
“Dear heavens! Is this some kind of romance staged by Julius Atelier?”
“What a handsome man.”
“He looks dashing and dapper! How elegant.”
“Damn it! Why am I seeing PDA at a jewelry showcase?!”
…
When Matthew followed Veronica’s line of sight, he saw Hendrey standing in the crowd. Hendrey was
furrowing his brows and his face was painted with a touch of complexity.
Skyler’s jaw dropped in shock. Without daring to speak to Matthew, he turned to Caleb, who was
beside him, and whispered, “Hold your horses! Didn’t you say that Hendrey won’t be back? Did he just
fall from the sky?!”
