Chapter 425 Attending Tiffany’s Funeral
“Skyler praised Monica?” Veronica asked in disbelief. Monica, in her desperation, came to Veronica for
help once. Her mother-in-law abused her and had hurt her child badly. She phoned Skyler and asked
him to admit Monica’s child into Westcross Children Hospital. Thanks to that, the child was saved.
Monica fell on her knees and thanked Skyler, but they did not really talk after that.
“Yeah.” Yvonne pouted. “He said she’s gentle, smart, understanding, knows how to make money, and
takes care of children really well. Instead, he called me a spoiled princess who can’t even take care of
myself, let alone a kid!” She smacked the table. “Of course, I’m mad!”
She’s complaining, but uh… That sure doesn’t sound angry to me. She looked at Ivana, but the woman
only cocked her eyebrow and smirked. Oh… So that’s what this is. Okay. This is surprising.
Veronica took some time to process it and answered, “Skyler’s just concerned about you, but he
doesn’t know how to show it.”
“Don’t talk about him. He’s annoying.”
“Really? What should I do then? I still have to call Skyler if you need me to get you into Westcross, and
the last time Monica asked for my help, I—”
“Alright, enough! It’s Skyler this and Monica that!” She slammed her cutlery down. “You guys go on
ahead without me. I need to use the restroom.” She got up and went to the ladies.
Ivana whispered, “She’s had wild mood swings ever since she got pregnant. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Oh, I don’t think it’s because of the pregnancy.” Veronica smiled mysteriously.
She went back to Twilight Condominium at night. Veronica had her own place, but Twilight was near
Starshine and her wedding planning agency was not that far away either, so she stayed around. The
agency had opened for business a month ago, but it was a relaunch with Matthew as the boss in name.
Numerous clients supported it thanks to that and the business boomed. Since Monica had to make
money for her kid, Veronica assigned her as a part-time wedding planner. Thanks to her talent and
capability, she was one of the pillars of the company now. On the other hand, Crayson maintained his
position as the security guard, but he went back home to rest up as he had not been feeling well lately.
After arriving home and noticing Matthew’s absence, Veronica went to the study and held an online
meeting with Vincere Games’ team members. They talked about the company’s future and the plans
that would lead to it. Thanks to Veronica’s team, she had been enjoying great success ever since she
invested in the company. They had been making profit ever since the second month. They had made
four-hundred and forty thousand up until the current month; their momentum could not be stopped.
Just as Veronica logged out of the meeting and started up a game, Matthew returned home. “What are
you up to?”
“Just a game. I’ll finish up this match in a jiffy,” she answered and went back to her game.
With that, Matthew went and poured her a cup of tea. He placed it in front of her and stood behind the
chair to watch her match.
In the game, she eventually got to the high ground and destroyed the enemy team’s home base tower.
With that, she won the match and removed her headphones. Leaning into her chair, she stared at
Matthew and asked, “You must be busy with work, huh?”
“Well, I finished it.” He held her cheeks and pressed his lips against hers. “Why didn’t you go to sleep?
You didn’t have to wait for me.”
“I’m not waiting for you. I-I just don’t feel like sleeping.” She would not admit that she was expecting
him. Suddenly, she remembered something and her eyes shone. “Dad and Mom blessed our marriage.
Can we head to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get registered?”
“Oh, about that. I need to tell you something.” He went around and pulled her up from her chair.
Matthew sat down and placed her on his lap. “It’s Tiffany’s funeral tomorrow.”
“It’s tomorrow?” Oh. Not a good day to get wed. She leaned against his chest and wrapped her arms
around his neck. “Did you find Randy yet?”
“Nope.”
“Weird. If Tiffany did cross someone, they’d only get back at her or her parents at most. Why did Randy
get dragged into this?”
Veronica met Randy a few times before. They chatted a few times and he was a lively guy. She did not
particularly like him, but she did not hate him either. “Don’t you think Tiffany’s death reeks of
conspiracy, Matt?”
Though Veronica was not sure the cause of Tiffany’s death, let alone being at the scene, Veronica
believed that things were not as simple as it looked.
“Not sure.” Matthew patted her head. “Just mind your own business and stay out of things you
shouldn’t ask.”
“I’d like to attend her funeral.”
“I’ll go with you.”
That night, they did not take long to fall asleep and woke up early the next morning. The couple
washed up and went to Tiffany’s funeral. Since her funeral was kept secret, there were not a lot of
guests present.
It was drizzling and the sky was overcast. It loomed over everyone, spreading depressiveness across
the air. A big group of people were standing under a tree on the northern side of Saint Cemetery; they
were in black attire, holding black umbrellas and all of them were facing a gravestone.
Veronica and Matthew were each holding an umbrella and they approached the tree. She saw Floch
and Rachel standing at the side, hand in hand. They had a black armband on their arm and a lily
pinned to their chests. The couple looked forlorn and dejected as Floch’s hair turned gray overnight,
seemingly aged ten years in just a while.
Meanwhile, Veronica also saw Ruka, Caitlyn, and Reese there. They were all Tiffany’s friends and
Reese was also her best friend. Though they had gotten into an argument, Tiffany’s death still hit her
hard. Moreover, Conrad and Tiffany’s friends were there as well.
“Why did you come, Veronica?” Reese placed a lily in front of the gravestone. She wiped her tears
away and turned around just to see Veronica and Matthew coming closer. Infuriated, she pointed at
Veronica. “You hypocrite! I bet you’re happy now that Tiffany’s dead!” she roared.
It attracted everyone’s attention.
Caitlyn had hated Veronica for a long time now. She too pointed at her and roared, “Leave! You’re not
welcome here!”
“Veronica’s here? Now that’s surprising.”
“Matthew is here too.”
“Tiffany had a grudge with Veronica. She could be related to her death.”
“Hey, that’s just speculation.”
“It’s nice for Matthew to come, though. Tiffany tried to dupe him before.”
“The Larsons are gonna treat Veronica better now, won’t they? She’s their only daughter now.”
…
Everyone was whispering among themselves; they kept looking at Veronica and the Larsons as they
came up with all sorts of theories.
