Chapter 332 Telling the Truth
Now that Elizabeth had spoken, no one dared to say anything, of course. Nevertheless, everyone
sensed her partiality for Veronica.
Veronica hesitated for a moment. Just as she was hesitating, she looked up and met Matthew’s
piercing eyes. He was staring fixedly at her, as though to signal her not to tell the truth.
“He panics now that someone’s gonna expose him.”
“Ha! He’s got a lot more dirty secrets, I’m afraid.”
“Who knows?”
“How disgraceful.”
…
These people were only too eager for Matthew to have a bad time. They hoped for the skeleton in his
closet to be brought to light so that they could naturally oust him from his position.
Clutching the cell phone in her hand, Veronica tore her eyes away from Matthew. Then, she bypassed
him and walked step by step toward Elizabeth.
All eyes were on her. Filled with anticipation, everyone watched as she walked step by step up to
Elizabeth, only to stand before the latter for a long time without saying a word.
Elizabeth’s chair was placed in front of the altar on which the memorial tablets were placed, whereas
everyone else was standing in the hall, so none of them saw Veronica’s facial expression.
Just then, however, they heard a cry. “Oh!”
Yura, the servant, and Veronica immediately stepped forward. “Old Mrs. Kings, are you alright?”
“Are you okay, Grandma?” cried Veronica. Then, she looked back and said, “Call the doctor! Grandma
fainted!”
For a moment, there was pandemonium in the large memorial hall. The Kings Residence had a family
doctor at first. However, as the year end was approaching, the doctor had gone home on leave, so
there wasn’t any doctor at the Kings Residence. Consequently, Matthew strode outside with Elizabeth
in his arms.
Not seeing the outcome they desired, some people began to stir up trouble just then…
“Put my mother down, Matthew! We’ll take her to the hospital. You have to stay in the memorial hall to
reflect on your mistakes!”
“Yeah, Joseph’s right!”
“Heh, are you not gonna listen to us anymore now that you think you’ve grown up?”
“Put her down!”
…
They reprimanded Matthew in displeasure, but he ignored them and left right away.
Veronica was inwardly displeased as well. Moreover, she wasn’t afraid of them at all. She looked back
and gave them an angry glare. “We don’t have time for this! Saving Grandma is the most important
thing here! Can’t you guys distinguish between what really matters and what doesn’t? Hmph!” She
berated them angrily. Then, she turned around and left haughtily.
Reprimanded by the young lady, the dozen people were startled at first before they flushed crimson
with indignation.
“How impudent! Since when did an outsider have the right to point a finger at the Kings Family?”
“She thinks she’s all that just because Mom favors her.”
“What a goddamn thing.”
“What a disgraceful b*tch.”
…
Veronica heard all the insults they flung at her from behind, but she didn’t care about it in the slightest.
These people have got nothing to do with me, she thought. Trotting up to Matthew, she got into his car
and helped seat Elizabeth in the back seat, after which Matthew closed the car door, got into the
driver’s seat, and drove away.
The car drove gradually into the distance, leaving everyone else behind.
Only then did Veronica pat Elizabeth’s arm. “Grandma, they’ve been left behind.”
Upon hearing her words, Matthew took a glance at the rearview mirror, upon which he couldn’t help but
frown slightly. “Grandma, you’re alright?”
“Hmph! What could’ve happened to me, you brat?!” Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes with a sigh. “Now
can you tell me what happened?”
Matthew was still unwilling to tell the truth. “Nothing.”
Veronica couldn’t bear to let him take the blame alone, though. So, she said voluntarily, “Grandma, I
was telling the truth. The person in that photo… It was me.”
Veronica had typed a message on her phone with her back to the crowd at the memorial hall just now.
The message read, ‘I’m the person in the photo.’ The text was enlarged, allowing Elizabeth to instantly
realize what had happened, which was why she had pretended to faint. Otherwise, there was no way
they could get away in the presence of so many people.
Seeing that Veronica had told the truth right away, Matthew felt somewhat helpless, but he couldn’t
keep his lips from curling into a faint smile. It feels great that this silly girl cares very much about me, he
thought.
“And then?” Elizabeth questioned with a deep frown.
Veronica curled her lips. “Well… Where should I begin?” Finally, after much deliberation, she merely
explained, “Actually, I only agreed to go out with Matthew yesterday. But he’s been through so much
trouble before, and my identity is quite special, so it’s inconvenient to let outsiders know about this. We
had a date at the movies today, so I disguised myself as a man to avoid causing trouble.” She gave a
brief account of what had happened.
“Before the movie started, I took him to a men’s clothing store, where we met the eldest daughter of the
Dame Family. S-She kept provoking me, so I got mad and gave Matthew a kiss. Who would’ve known
that we’d be photographed by the store’s sales assistants in secret?” Her so-called ‘special identity’
was because she looked just like Tiffany. Matthew had just called off his engagement to Tiffany quite
recently. If word went public that he was in a relationship with Veronica, they would surely be criticized.
“Then what about the incident in the fitting room?” Elizabeth questioned.
Color instantly flooded Veronica’s cheeks. Turning to look out of the car window, she put up her hands
to cover her face, feeling so embarrassed that she wished the ground would open and swallow her up.
Seriously, Grandma, do you have to ask about this kind of thing?
Elizabeth was still wearing a grim face. “Fess up, Matthew!”
Matthew glanced at her in the rearview mirror. Then, he replied truthfully, “I am a man.” The four words
explained everything perfectly.
Elizabeth was exasperated. “Don’t you know to restrain yourself?”
Matthew turned his head slightly to dart a look at the woman in the back seat as a faint smile played
across his lips. “I like her, so I couldn’t restrain myself.”
“How shameless.” Elizabeth let out a sigh. Then, she turned to glance at Veronica beside her. “Now
you know to feel embarrassed, huh? You shouldn’t have done that in the first place!”
Veronica was at a loss for words.
Matthew didn’t want to see her being scolded. “Grandma, don’t blame Roni. It was my fault for being
too impulsive.”
“It’s you that I’m talking about!” Elizabeth chided angrily before a smile gradually came over her angry
face. Amused and exasperated, she said, “Why didn’t you guys tell me about this earlier? I wasn’t
prepared for it at all. Had Veronica not told me in time about it, I’d have nearly punished you.”
When she saw the video, she really thought that Matthew was gay. However, at the memorial hall,
Veronica told her on her cell phone that she was the ‘man’ in the photo. At that very moment, she
realized that Veronica and Matthew were in a relationship. She had always hoped that they would
become a couple. Now that they had become a couple after so many twists and turns, she was
naturally happy.
“How are you two gonna deal with this in the future? Huh?” she asked Veronica. “Veronica, Matthew is
already a grown-up. Now that he’s got someone he likes, he naturally got a little too familiar with you.
Don’t tell me that you two still plan to keep your relationship a secret.” She wanted to ask for Veronica’s
opinion.
“Huh? Well…” Veronica slowly put down her hand to reveal a fair-skinned cheek that was still blushing.
She touched her nose in embarrassment, saying, “Grandma, w-we’re still trying to get along.”
