Frost Cal Group, coffee shop. Veronica Murphy entered the coffee shop and scanned the room until she finally spotted Flavian Kings sitting by the window in the far corner.
He was dressed in a royal blue suit with a tie, looking radiant. The resemblance between his eyebrows and Matthew Kings was striking, both possessing a cold and imposing demeanor.
Veronica Murphy approached him and greeted, “Mr. Conrad, hello. I apologize for the interruption.”
Her attitude was neither submissive nor arrogant. She pulled out a chair and sat across from Flavian Kings.
“It’s quite unexpected for us to meet here,” Flavian Kings smiled. At that moment, a waiter approached them and asked, ‘Madam, what would you like to drink?”
“Just plain water.”
“Alright, please wait.” The waiter glanced meaningfully at Veronica Murphy, his eyes filled with disdain. Coming to a coffee shop to drink plain water, she must be out of her mind.
Veronica Murphy didn’t notice the waiter’s expression or actions. Instead, she said to Flavian Kings, “Let’s have an honest conversation, shall we?”
Flavian Kings leaned back in his chair, fingers interlocked on his abdomen. His deep eyes, as profound as Matt’s, scrutinized Veronica Murphy. A formal smile appeared on his dark face. “What do you mean by ‘honest’?”
“To show my sincerity, I won’t hide anything. I haven’t divorced Matt, and the news of our divorce that was made public is also false.”
She revealed the news herself. Flavian Kings lightly tapped his left fingers on the back of his right hand and smiled, “Not surprising.”
He knew his son very well. A loyal person like Ben suddenly getting a divorce would be highly unusual.
“What about you, Mr. Conrad? You knew that Matt had a wife and children, so why did your support Eviette Robins in pursuing Matt?”
Veronica Murphy directly asked the doubts in her heart. Of course, she was still not entirely sure about the relationship between Flavian Kings and Eviette Robins up until now, but it was just speculation, and she wanted to test his response.
Flavian Kings paused his rhythmic tapping on his hand and showed a hint of surprise on his weathered face. His murky eyes met hers, but Veronica Murphy remained calm and composed.
Having experienced countless life and death situations, Veronica Murphy had long become steady and fearless. What did she have to fear from Flavian Kings?
After observing her for a while, Flavian Kings couldn’t detect any abnormalities in Veronica Murphy’s eyes. He even felt that her words just now were very certain.
After careful consideration, he didn’t see the need to hide anymore, so he nodded slightly, “You’re clever, just as Matthew’s partner should be,” Veronica Murphy remained silent, waiting for what would come next.
“But, you, a woman from a remote and impoverished place, how can you be worthy of being the son of Flavian Kings? Flavian Kings reached out and picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and shook his head. “Matthew is confused. Only a marriage that is a match insocial status will receive everyone’s blessings. And you, a woman who cannot even rise to the surface, what can you offer as a wife and mother? You should know that a mother is a child’s first teacher. What kind of child can someone like you, who comes from the countryside, raise?”
“Furthermore, successful men always have a woman with exceptional abilities behind them. You graduated from Collins University, with ant average qualification. Besides having an attractive appearance, you have no value whatsoever.”
He raised his right hand and gestured from top to bottom, criticizing Veronica Murphy mercilessly.
Veronica Murphy didn’t get angry but smiled instead. She tilted her head and looked out of the window, overlooking the vast Kyoland, feeling a strong sense of irony.
“No value at all, huh?”
She chuckled.
A waiter placed a glass of water in front of her and then left. Veronica Murphy leaned back slightly and looked directly at Flavian Kings. “Mr. Conrad’s values are truly conventional and narrow- minded.”
