Chapter 213 Veronica’s New Flame
Now, it looked like even Matthew had been tricked by Tiffany.
Veronica only fell into deep thought during all this. Why would Tiffany, being the prideful person that she is, choose to expose herself in front of the media? What drove her to do this?
Raising her head, she looked at the man standing beside her as a thought came across her mind…
Old Mrs. Kings wanted a great-grandchild so badly. So, if Tiffany really faked a pregnancy, she would never be able to hide it for long.
This only means that Tiffany was very possibly pregnant. But, it wasn’t Matthew’s!
Following this logic, this means that Tiffany cuckolded Matthew during the period of their engagement and had a baby pretend to be his?!
The train of thought enlightened Veronica, as it had been a few days since the incident of their wedding and the cancellation of their engagement.
Normally, Tiffany hated her guts and wanted her death by all means, but to Veronica’s surprise, she did not come for her.
During this period, Veronica was extra cautious, as she had been awaiting someone to assassinate her. Yet, nothing happened.
So, she knew that for Tiffany to fail in making a move on her meant something had happened.
Perhaps it was because Matthew, who was cuckolded, could not accept this fact and forcefully dragged Tiffany to abort the baby.
Or, Matthew, who wanted to preserve his dignity, threatened Tiffany with all sorts of methods, forcing her to ignore her pride and expose such disgraceful things to the public!
If not, maybe Tiffany’s confession actually hid a lot of things that she didn’t wish to expose, while some were embellished by her. But, it all seemed to make sense, and she managed to say all this without stuttering or even a hint of hesitation.
It all sounded so smooth. She might have prepared this beforehand and even gone as far as to memorize it.
In actuality, Veronica’s was almost right on the mark.
In the midst of this crowd, probably only Matthew knew why Tiffany would expose herself voluntarily in this manner.
Even he had to admit that Tiffany had quite the brains. Knowing that she had committed an unforgivable crime that led to Matthew’s revenge, she chose to admit her wrongdoings in front of the media first.
By doing this, not only did the Kingses get to keep their dignity, but Veronica would also not be misunderstood by the public.
Nevermind, since her actions fall in line with mine too.
Of course, he also meant to dispel any doubt about Veronica.
At the same time, Tiffany was well aware of the video evidence of her being entangled with another man and the one where she got humiliated by people. She was afraid that if she really angered Matthew, he might just let all these videos come to light, which would promptly destroy her life.
Desperate, Tiffany was forced to make this choice after discussing it with her mother.
By balancing both losses and gains, they were able to find the best solution.
“But, on the day of your wedding, when the video of the kidnapping was shown, you were protecting your baby with all you had. Doesn’t that prove you were really pregnant?”
“Yeah, is it true or not?”
“Come to think of it, that didn’t really make sense.”
“You’re lying, aren’t you?”
“Also, the video on the wedding stated that you had caused Veronica’s miscarriage, no?”
…
People started to voice their doubts.
Facing these accusations, Tiffany could only grip her dress tightly while feeling frustrated and humiliated.
Even if Veronica’s child was Matthew’s or whether she did cause her miscarriage, Tiffany could only choose to hide the truth.
Pursing her lips, she hesitated for a moment before facing the flashing cameras and calmingly replying, “Veronica was indeed pregnant before. However, her miscarriage was an accident. That day, I went out with her, but I accidentally sprained my foot and crashed into her, making her fall down and miscarry. The other day, when I was kidnapped by the enemies of the Kingses, it was all because I foolishly thought the mastermind was actually Veronica, which I then knew wasn’t after the truth came out.”
Tiffany then turned around after stating that and once again bowed deeply at Veronica. “Veronica, I’m sorry. It was my narrow-mindedness that made me misunderstand you. Now, I sincerely apologize to you and hope that you’ll accept my apology.”
From the action of turning to bowing and apologizing, Tiffany did not once gaze into her sister’s eyes.
This was because she was afraid that upon looking at the face that was exactly the same as hers, she would fail to hold back her madness and rush forward to tear her to pieces.
On the other hand, the development of all this made Veronica a bit dazed.
Never in her wildest dreams did Veronica expect Tiffany to willingly lower her head and apologize to her.
Nevertheless, Veronica knew that her apology was devoid of sincerity, as even her statement just now was full of lies.
What did she mean by accidentally crashing into me and making me fall down, therefore causing my miscarriage?
It was because Tiffany had engaged with Matthew, and the Kingses were planning on letting Veronica give birth before handing over the child to let Tiffany raise it. This, instead, forced Veronica to take medications to remove the child.
She nearly died that time.
Yet, Veronica could not deny Tiffany’s shrewdness, as after she had ‘explained’ everything in front of the media, she could no longer rebuke her words.
This was because if she did, that meant that Veronica would have to tell the whole truth.
The price was that the truth would almost single-handedly push the Kings Family into the abyss and destroy them.
Even though Veronica detested the Larsons, she did not feel the same toward the Kingses, all because Matthew had saved her multiple times.
“You don’t need to mention stuff that has already passed.”
Veronica chose to let Tiffany keep what was left of her pride.
The latter half of the video at the wedding was the scene where Tiffany got repeatedly humiliated.
As the woman who came from a wealthy family and had the most talents, she should be one who was admired by all. However, she ended up in such a pathetic state along with the child in her belly being forcefully aborted.
Tiffany, who was willing to apologize no matter if it was forced by Matthew or not, knew that this would haunt her in the future.
She knew that she would not be coveted by innumerable men anymore.
This retribution almost matched her wrongdoings!
“Miss Murphy sure is kind. Just look at how magnanimous she is.”
“They’re both twins, so I believe that Veronica would not be too harsh on her.”
“Now I’m curious as to who the child in Veronica’s belly belonged to.”
“And why do you care about that? It can only belong to her boyfriend.”
…
The last sentence only made the shocked Caitlyn more and more frustrated.
She had thought of every trick in the book just to go against Veronica and stand up for Tiffany. Who knew that when she was trying so hard to frame her, Tiffany would suddenly stand out and explain the whole situation to the masses?
Isn’t this just making me look like a fool?
Livid, Catilyn pointed at Veronica, questioning her, “Since you were pregnant before, that only means that you have a boyfriend. Why didn’t you bring him on such a grand occasion? If you didn’t, that could only mean you don’t have one, or that you dumped him and are in love with another man now.”
Tiffany, who bore the humiliation and lowered herself to explain the whole deal to the public, was akin to letting people step all over her.
She already did not know how to face the masses anymore, but Caitlyn was still trying to stoke the fire as if she feared nobody looking deeper into this.
On the contrary, Tiffany only wanted to end this farce so as to preserve what was left of her pride.
Fool!
Exasperated, Tiffany immediately turned around and slapped Caitlyn. “Shut up!”
