The news spread like wildfire.
Matthew, who was in Spinfluence Group, was aware of the matter as well.
Troy stood in front of him and explained, “Miss Murphy was duped and she fell for someone’s trick.”
Matthew leaned back in his executive chair, taking a sip from the cup of tea in his hand, and asked, “Have found out you who is the mastermind behind the scenes?”
“It was done by the Leonard Family.”
“The Leonards? Jackson had no grievances with Veronica. There is no compelling reason for him to do so.”
“My subordinates have discovered the truth. The reason for this is that the wedding site explosion injured Jackson and his wife, Emma. Despite it being
rumored that the culprit is Damien, Jackson suspected you of fabricating the evidence to protect Miss Murphy, so…”
Troy didn’t finish his sentence, but Matthew understood him.
Troy then went on to say, “Miss Murphy had just gotten out of the police station. Take a look, President Kings…”
He was awaiting Matthew’s decision.
With puzzled eyes, the man glanced at his phone on the table.
He seemed to have been expecting
Veronica’s phone call since yesterday. A
call to seek assistance from him.
However, that d*mned woman never contacted him!
If that was the case…
“Get out,” he said, waving.
Troy was stunned for a brief moment before nodding and exiting the room.
When Veronica left the police station, Yvonne picked her up and drove her to Yvonne’s house, avoiding the reporters who were following her.
However, it was not a suburban villa, but rather a city apartment.
Conrad was present when Veronica entered the apartment.
She looked around, aware that he had visited several times and that there were even indications that he had stayed here.
“Oh, why are such things happening?”
“Roni, don’t worry. With Conrad here, we will definitely be able to help you find a solution,” Yvonne said as she sat Veronica on the sofa, poured her a glass of water, and comforted her.
Conrad paced back and forth in the living room with his hands in his pockets, a solemn expression on his face.
After a while, he finally turned to Veronica and asked, “Little Roni, what happened between you and Matthew? How come he didn’t do anything when such a big thing happened?”
Veronica took the cup of tea Yvonne handed her and placed it in her palm to warm her cold hands. She then shook her
head and bitterly smiled, “I don’t know.”
Conrad’s eyes narrowed for a moment as Veronica spoke. He stared carefully at her face as if trying to penetrate her thoughts through her eyes.
Veronica’s reaction, on the other hand, was too calm, so calm that even he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“I’ve caused you trouble, Uncle Conrad.”
“I don’t know why things have turned into what they are today, and I don’t even understand who I have offended.” She pursed her lips, sighed in disappointment, and lowered her head slowly.
She pretended to be upset.
“Don’t worry, Roni. Everything shall pass.” Yvonne patted Veronica on the back, feeling a little distressed from her ordeal.
Knock, knock
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the apartment.
Yvonne stood up and stated, “It should be
Xavier. I told him that you’re here.” She stood up to open the door, and sure
enough, Xavier was standing there.
He was wearing a navy-blue windbreaker and sunglasses at the time, but the corners of his mouth were still clearly purple.
He walked in. His gaze fell on Veronica, who was sitting on the sofa. His worried face manifested a hint of distress as he approached her, asking, “Are you okay?”
She hadn’t expected Xavier to show up. “I’m fine,” she said with a nod. “But you were seriously hurt. What are you doing here?”
Despite his injuries, Xavier came to see her on the cusp of the chaotic event, which moved her.
“If I don’t come and see you, I’ll continue to worry about you.”
He took a seat next to Veronica and asked, “What’s going on? Why are you
being broadcast on television for beating up someone?”
“I can’t control what they report on the
news,” she said, shaking her head.
Then, they sat down to discuss the current situation and how to solve it.
Veronica kept her appearance depressed and emotional throughout the discussion, looking listless like a rotten eggplant.
Finally, Yvonne noticed that Veronica wasn’t feeling well and said, “You must not have slept in the detention room the night before. Hurry up and rest in my room. We’ll talk about it after you’ve had a good night’s sleep.”
Veronica nodded, got up, and went to the bedroom.
After closing the door, she lay down on the bed to rest, recalling the events of the previous two days in her mind. She had the uneasy feeling that something was wrong.
She took her phone from her pocket and opened the recording app, which contained five hours of recordings.
She had it turned on since she left her apartment. After all, it was better to be prepared.
It finally came in handy, which was unexpected.
She was scrolling through Twitter while lying in bed.
The first trending search was, ‘Veronica beats the husband of an injured employee, and the second was coincidentally about Tiffany’s birthday banquet being held at the orphanage, where she brought jackets, books, and stationery for the children. Furthermore, Tiffany’s donation of 3 million to an orphanage was trending.
The fifth topic in the trending search was ‘The reason Veronica was abandoned.
When she clicked on the news, it was nothing more than a comparison of two pictures: one of Tiffany doing public
welfare charity and the other of her beating patients in the ward.
The insults directed at Veronica were unbearable.
‘You’re so evil. You deserved to be abandoned as a child, and you should be dead.
‘It’s no surprise that Young Master Matthew didn’t intervene in this matter. She turns out to be quite vicious.
‘She’s the most evil woman.’
“There’s a huge difference between her and her sister.’
‘She deserves to be abandoned! That b*tch belongs in hell!’
Veronica then placed her phone on the table and tucked her hand behind her ear. She gazed up at the ceiling before sinking into deep thought.
Despite the fact that she had the ability to make a comeback now, she wanted to keep things brewing so that she could find the murderer behind the scenes.
The suspect responsible for what happened at the wedding last time appeared to be Damien, who fancied Emma, but Veronica felt that things were not so simple.
People were clearly plotting to shut down her wedding business and make her the target of everyone’s yelling and beatings.
To put it bluntly, someone wanted to use this opportunity to destroy her.
Who was behind all of this?
Veronica could have told Yvonne that she had evidence in her hand, but she didn’t because Conrad was present.
She couldn’t help but think about Matthew’s and Tiffany’s wedding. He shielded Melisa while framing her. Even if Xavier continued to contact her, Veronica would still keep her guard up.
At the same time, Elizabeth knew about
the issue.
She dialed Matthew’s number instead of Veronica’s.
A phone call came in while Matthew was working in the office. “Grandma?”
He was well aware of the reason for Grandma’s call.
“What are you doing? Why are you staying put when Veronica is in trouble?” As soon as the phone call was connected, Elizabeth scolded him. “You’re her brother, so how can you watch her suffer from all the bullying?”
