Chapter 495 Yvonne’s Mutiny
Only through Yvonne’s phone call did Veronica know about this matter. “Roni, where are you? Are you alright?”
Yvonne sounded anxious on the phone, like she had discovered something shocking. “What’s wrong?” Veronica was spread out on her bed, applying a cold compress to her cheeks to reduce swelling.
“You’re asking me what’s wrong?! Didn’t you watch the news?!” Yvonne was furious. “Why didn’t you tell me about such a huge issue? You can always come and work in my company if you can’t find a job. So, why bother selling cars and suffering such indignity?”
After Yvonne watched the video, she felt terrible for Veronica. Deep down, she thought that it was really a waste for Veronica to be a car salesperson with her capabilities.
“I’m lying down and resting. I don’t have time to watch the news.”
Veronica reached out and touched her cheek. Although she could feel it was still swollen due to the stinging pain she felt when she applied pressure to her cheek, she grinned and replied lightheartedly. “It’s okay. I’m doing quite well. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“I—”
Just as Yvonne was about to say something, Conrad, who was hugging her, hinted at her. At once, Yvonne understood and said, “Of course, I’m worried about you, but I’m more worried about my son. Look: you had an excellent relationship with Matthew before, yet he’s now driving you to a dead end merely because you slapped Sasha. What about my son? Will Matthew really do anything to my son?”
Yvonne was genuinely concerned about Ian’s safety.
Matthew treated Veronica very kindly before because she had rescued Old Mrs. Kings and was his godsister.
But Matthew isn’t directly related to Ian, so he has no reason to help Ian at all.
What’s more: I’m worried that Matthew will use Ian to threaten Conrad one day.
Not only is Conrad the father of my child, but he also has a terminal illness now, so I must protect them.
Meanwhile, Veronica didn’t know how to answer after she listened to Yvonne’s words.
My break up with Matthew was simply a show, and because of that, I could understand Matthew’s problematic situation. But it’s different for Yvonne. She doesn’t know the truth, so how can she understand Matthew’s intention?
“Although that b*stard isn’t as kind as we thought, he won’t go as far as to murder a child. Think about it: how can you give birth to the child so smoothly if he wants to kill your son?”
Veronica enlightened Yvonne, hoping that she wouldn’t overthink the matter.
“You can say that, b-but… I’m still worried.” Yvonne sighed. “Prior to this, you and Matthew just called it off, and your relationship with him wasn’t this terrible. But, now that you two are on terrible terms with each other, I’m truly worried for my son’s safety.”
At the same time, Conrad lay beside Yvonne and hugged her. While he had an ear to the words Yvonne said to Veronica, he smiled and played with a strand of her hair in front of her chest, curling it around his finger.
It sure took me a lot of time and effort to put up a show so that I could gain Yvonne’s trust and find out where the child was.
Now that everything’s going according to plan, victory is within my grasp!
On the other end of the phone, Veronica could understand Yvonne’s anxious mood. “Yvonne, although Matthew indeed pushed me to a dead end, I think he’s more of a gentleman compared to Conrad.”
Since there was something that she couldn’t be frank with Yvonne about, Veronica could only indirectly tell her.
Initially, she thought that Yvonne would trust Matthew. But God knew what had happened to her, and she suddenly changed her mind. “Roni, I-I want to… bring my child back.”
When she said those words, she looked up and glanced at Conrad, who was in front of her. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and rubbed her face against his chest.
Now that Conrad was seriously ill, all that she wanted was for Ian to come back and stay by Conrad’s side.
She thought maybe in this way, Conrad would live longer.
“You—do you want to rethink it?” Veronica tried to press her.
“No. I had thought about it clearly.” Yvonne gave her exact answer.
Ever since she knew that Conrad was ‘ill’, all that she could think of every day was that she wanted to bring Ian back from Matthew’s side.
It just so happened that she had a logical and sensible reason for her to do so after something happened to Veronica today.
Yvonne was worried that if she didn’t seize the opportunity now, she didn’t know when it would be the next time she wished to bring the child back from Matthew’s side.
Meanwhile, Veronica felt rather helpless when she knew that her persuasion had failed. “Since you have thought about it clearly, then contact him yourself. I have lost contact with Matthew and don’t wish to see him again.”
Veronica didn’t dare to tell Yvonne the truth. As the saying goes, caution is the parent of safety. I still have to watch what I say, even in front of Yvonne.
It’s not that I suspect Yvonne, but I’m worried that someone will purposely approach her to gain information or inquire about my relationship with Matthew through Yvonne.
The consequences will be disastrous if someone finds out that Matthew and I are still keeping in touch.
“Oh, okay then.”
Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief the moment Veronica gave in to her request, and there was a faint smile on her face that couldn’t be concealed. Then, she continued. “Actually, Roni, you can just quit your job in the automobile shop and come to work at Honeycloud Cosmetics Limited. I have a lot of positions that are suitable for you. It’s rather a waste for you to work as a salesperson in an automobile shop.”
Based on Yvonne’s understanding of Veronica, she felt that Veronica was a well-rounded person, and one should not underestimate her sales ability. Therefore, it was a waste of talent to use her ability in an automobile shop. Thus, instead of letting her continue working in the automobile shop, Yvonne believed it was better for Veronica to come to her company and hold the position of sales manager. She felt that only in that way Veronica could truly shine and have a bright future awaiting her.
“Yvonne, I appreciate your kindness, but I think I’m doing fine here. It’s getting late, and I want to rest. We’ll talk about it tomorrow if anything else happens.”
“Okay, then I’ll go find Matthew tomorrow. Can—you accompany me?” Yvonne begged Veronica. “I’m afraid Matthew wouldn’t want to let my son go if you don’t go with me. What shall I do then?”
