Chapter 439 Calculative Conrad
“Well…” Veronica touched her head and thought hard before explaining, “You can’t blame Matthew.”
“Who should I blame, then?”
“You should blame m-me.” So, Veronica took all the responsibility on herself and said embarrassingly,
“He didn’t think we did not get along. However, when we were dating, I felt a gap between us and our
values did not overlap. Moreover, our hobbies are different, and we have no common topic, so we are
out of sync.”
Although the affair between Matthew and Sasha made Veronica sick, Matthew had saved Veronica
numerous times. Although Veronica still couldn’t understand why Matthew saved her, she was grateful.
“Besides, I don’t want to get into a relationship now. I am doing good in the company and working hard
to further my career. My career is getting better.” Veronica gave an excuse that even she herself
thought was flimsy.
“You—” Elizabeth frowned and looked at Veronica with doubt as she didn’t believe it. “What is this? Are
you trying to use a flimsy reason to shut me up?”
Elizabeth was furious, so she gave Veronica another slap on her head. “Both of you are liars!”
“Ouch!” After receiving a slap, Veronica shrank back and chuckled guiltily. “Please don’t be angry,
Grandma. You can’t force a relationship. Besides, although I am not with Matthew, I still love you.
Could it be that you don’t love me anymore because of this?”
She put her arms around Elizabeth and leaned on Elizabeth’s shoulder, acting like a spoiled child. “Y-
You! Jeez, the both of you are making me angry!” Elizabeth slapped her own thigh angrily.
Veronica raised her head and rested her chin on Elizabeth’s shoulder. Tilting her head, she said
playfully, “Grandma, please don’t get involved in my relationship. Although I broke up with Matthew, we
are still friends.”
Matthew saw the warm scene behind him through the rearview mirror, but he felt uncomfortable by
Veronica’s words.
He nodded cooperatively. “Yes. We’re still friends.”
“Hmph! You guys are hopeless.”
Seeing that they wouldn’t spill out their secrets despite asking them, Elizabeth snorted and didn’t speak
anymore.
However, she was planning something.
Lunch had been prepared by the time they arrived at the Kings Residence.
During the meal, Conrad appeared.
“Hey, Roni, Matthew. Why are you back?” Conrad was wearing a navy-blue shirt with slicked-back hair.
He still had a short beard and mature temperament, looking full of masculinity.
It was a pity that an ugly heart hid behind such a handsome face.
Although Veronica hated Conrad, she had to be polite as Elizabeth was his mother.
“Hello, Uncle Conrad,” Veronica stood up and greeted.
Matthew coldly glanced at Conrad but didn’t speak.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance when you returned at noon?” Elizabeth muttered and then instructed
her servant, “Get another serving for Conrad.”
Conrad sat down facing Elizabeth. To his left was Matthew, and to his right was Veronica.
“Roni, how is… Yvie?” Conrad suddenly mentioned Yvonne.
As Veronica heard him mention Yvonne, she subconsciously looked at Matthew, and Matthew returned
the look simultaneously.
Yvonne’s child is Conrad’s son. In addition, Conrad addresses Grandma as Mom. Therefore, Veronica
and I must address Yvonne’s child as our younger brother! I’m sure Conrad must have an impure
motive to mention Yvonne to Grandma now.
“She’s going abroad. She’ll come back a while later,” Veronica lied smoothly.
After a while, Yvonne would take her child to Craston to raise him there.
There wouldn’t be a problem if they were not here.
Conrad glanced meaningfully at Veronica while the servant served his servings. Finally, he took it and
said, “Thank you.”
“Come on, let’s eat now,” Elizabeth said. Only then did the rest of the family start to eat.
Conrad attentively passed some pepper to Elizabeth. “Mom, this is for you.”
“Such a kind child. That’s why you’re my favorite.” Elizabeth sighed.
Conrad smiled alluringly. “It is all thanks to you. Do you still remember what you said before? Does it
still count?”
Veronica, who was eating, frowned when she heard that. She tightened her hands while holding the
tableware. She had a hunch that what Conrad was going to say must be related to Yvonne.
She looked up at Matthew and saw he was calm and eating elegantly.
That calm appearance made it seem that he was isolated from the world.
“I usually talk a lot. You are testing my memory,” Elizabeth answered while eating.
“Haha!”
Conrad chuckled at that. “That’s funny.”
With that, he lowered his head. After cutting up a piece of meat, he put it into his mouth and chewed
slowly.
It was only after a long while that Conrad put down his cutlery and placed his hands on the table. Then,
he said thoughtfully, “It is about the Spinfluence Group. Mom, you said you were optimistic about
Matthew and I. You also said you would give the group to whoever had a child. Today, I will bring you
good news. Yvonne—” Conrad deliberately dragged his voice while looking at Matthew. “Yvonne gave
birth to a child last night. It’s my son.”
It seemed he was asserting dominance in the last sentence.
“What did you say?” Elizabeth was surprised and she looked at Conrad. “Are you sure? Didn’t you
break up with Yvonne? Why did she have your child?”
It was a piece of sudden news.
Veronica had tried time and time again to persuade Yvonne to not give birth.
However, Yvonne insisted on giving birth, so Veronica stopped persuading her.
However, after listening to what Conrad had said, Veronica understood the importance of Yvonne’s
son. She also understood why Conrad never interfered during Yvonne’s pregnancy.
He was plotting for the Spinfluence Group.
Veronica bit her fork, frowned, and looked at Matthew. However, he continued to eat as if he hadn’t
heard anything.
His gestures were full of nobility with elegant movements.
At that point, Veronica had a thought.
Matthew is intelligent and wise, so he would have known the implication of Yvonne giving birth.
However, he never interfered with Yvonne’s decision. He just asked why Yvonne insisted on giving
birth. I told him Yvonne said the child in her womb is a living being. Therefore, no one has the right to
kill him. After that, Matthew never talked about it again.
