Chapter 448 Matthew and Zac Cooperate
Matthew had pondered over it before he decided he needed to be cruel and firm in making Veronica
leave the car. Even if she were to get angry about it, he couldn’t do anything. He suddenly thought
about someone, so he took his phone and gave the person he had in mind a call.
The person picked up after the phone rang a few times. “President Kings? W-Why are you calling me?
Is there something I can help you with?”
The voice that came from the other end of the phone was Shirley’s. Matthew went to Encounters to
look for Veronica when the store’s business was booming before, but he only saw Shirley there. He had
asked for her contact information then.
He privately wanted to find a way to form a good relationship with Shirley so that he could completely
buy her off. However, Shirley, being the little lady with a sense of justice that she was, said righteously,
“President Kings, I know you are rich and powerful. But no matter what, I will never betray Veronica. I
can do anything if it is for her good, but if it harms her, the first and only thing I will do is call the police.”
Matthew thought Veronica was a lucky person to have a friend as brave as Shirley upon hearing that.
“Pick up Roni along the road to the Kings Residence, will you?”
“Huh? Pick her up? B-But she didn’t call me. What should I tell her if she asks me why I am there?”
This is a sticky situation. He thought for a while, and finally made up a reason. “Just say that I was the
one who called you.”
“But you have already broken up. Veronica will definitely have doubts if I said that it was you who
called.”
Matthew and Veronica had not had any contact after the split, but the man had inquired many times
about her from Shirley.
However, Shirley didn’t know the reason why they broke up. All she knew was that Matthew was
protecting Veronica in secret.
“She won’t. Just do as I say.”
He swiftly hung up the phone after tossing that out.
Shirley, on the other hand, was pouting as she doubted Matthew’s words.
After hesitating over it, she still changed her clothes before she set off to her destination in a sedan.
The car came at an affordable total of 100 thousand. Not only that, it was given to her by Matthew.
Shirley had refused it before, but eventually forced herself to accept the vehicle after he said that it
would be more convenient to have a car.
After driving out of the city in the direction of the Kings Residence, she finally spotted Veronica after
another 30 minutes of driving.
She pressed the car horn a few times before she turned the car in Veronica’s direction. “Hop on in,
Veronica,” she offered after the car came to a stop beside Veronica.
Hearing this, Veronica leaned over slightly, thereafter tilting her head and looking at Shirley who sat in
the car. “What are you doing here, Shirley?”
“It is President Kings. He called me and asked me to come pick you up,” Shirley truthfully replied as
Matthew told her.
Her heart started to thump out of worry after she said that. Will she suspect anything? Shirley
wondered.
Surprisingly, Veronica opened the car door and sat up before she slammed it shut. She then muttered
with her head lowered, “Hmph! That b*stard is only asking you to give me a ride because he doesn’t
want me to complain about him to Grandma.”
Shirley immediately let out a relieved sigh after hearing that. What a strategist President Kings is. He
guessed it right.
“I don’t know about that. I was just thinking that you will be tired if you were to walk all the way to the
city.” Shirley chuckled as she drove off to the city.
“Take me to Westcross Children Hospital, please.”
It was necessary for Yvonne, who had just given birth, to have someone by her side at all times.
“Oh, sure thing,” Shirley responded and drove straight to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Veronica said to Shirley as she got out of the car, “Thanks for today. I
need to accompany Yvonne more because she is still in the confinement period. Let’s all go for sushi
after she recuperates.”
“Ha! Alright Veronica.”
Even though Shirley wanted to enter to pay Yvonne a visit, she decided against it when she thought
about how they weren’t close enough for her to do that.
After Veronica bid Shirley goodbye, Veronica carried her bag and trudged upstairs to where the wards
were at.
She found Yvonne in the hospital ward, but the latter was leaning against the head of the bed, and was
holding a tissue in her hand as she blew her nose while she sobbed.
Then, Veronica closed the door before gaping at Yvonne, startled. “What is up with you?” she asked.
Hasn’t everything been going well so far? What could have happened to Yvonee?
As soon as she saw Veronica entering the ward, Yvonne let out a loud wail and held Veronica’s hand.
She then leaned against Veronica’s torso and cried with all her might.
“I am scared… That d*ck of a man Conrad… No wonder he kept being hot and cold toward me
throughout the time of my pregnancy. He has been aiming for my baby! What should I do?” She kept
sobbing.
Naturally, Veronica would worry about what Yvonne was worrying about.
People like Conrad would do anything to achieve their goals.
He had even endured for more than half a year for Yvonne to give birth to the child in order to take the
position of the CEO at the Spinfluence Group.
They couldn’t help but worry that he would soon aim for the newborn child.
“It’s okay. It’s alright. Didn’t your parents arrange for someone to protect you? Everything will be okay
as long as you go abroad without fail.” Veronica brought up one hand and patted Yvonne on the back to
calm her down.
As Yvonne breathlessly cried, she shook her head and sobbed, “I wouldn’t be afraid if he was acting
alone, but he has partnered up with Zac. Just now… Hiccup… Zac called me earlier and said that I
betrayed him when I was with him. He wants me to… to compensate him…”
“Compensate?” Veronica’s eyebrows only pulled together tighter as things got more complicated.
“Don’t tell me he wants the child as compensation.”
It was only a wild guess she made, but Yvonne immediately sat up straight and looked at her with a
look of disbelief, her shoulders still dropped. “You… Hiccup… How did you know?”
“Uh, I…” It was just a guess Veronica made. She never thought Zac would resort to something so inept.
“I was just guessing. Since you said that Zac has partnered up with Conrad, and Conrad happens to
want the child, I figured Zac would surely find a way to satisfy Conrad.”
“Do you see what is going on? That b*stard Zac has never liked me at all. All he wanted from the
beginning was power.” Yvonne’s eyes were red and swollen as she angrily punched the bed.
“Despicable. What a despicable, shameless pig!”
“Okay, okay. Don’t get angry. We should think about what we have to do now.”
Veronica thought that Yvonne would be fine as long as she went abroad, but now that Conrad and Zac
had joined hands, it might not be safe for the mother and her child even if they were to leave
Bloomstead and return to Castron.
After all, Caston was Zac’s territory.
Yvonne wouldn’t stand a chance against them there.
“I have given it a thought… but… I can’t come up with anything…” As her body racked with sobs,
Yvonne couldn’t even get her sentence out smoothly. Veronica could only feel her heart ache as she
looked at her friend becoming a crying mess.
