Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 347

Chapter 347 The Truth Is Out

Back in the corridor earlier, Conrad must have told Yvonne something before she decided to remain on the phone with him. This was the only possibility that would make her touch the phone in her pocket so nervously.

"When I asked you out for lunch today, why was Xavier there too?" Veronica did not directly bring up Conrad's situation.

"Oh, Xavier and Conny happened to be with me today when you called, so I took them with me," Yvonne answered truthfully.

"Ha." Veronica smiled coldly. She leaned back and tilted her head before sending a cold stare at Yvonne. "Then, do you know what Xavier has done to me today?"

"Huh? What?" Yvonne inexplicably grew a little nervous, as if Veronica's gaze was sharp enough to pierce through her.

With her burning eyes drilling into Yvonne, Veronica did not directly answer her question but asked instead, "Yvonne, tell me, do you think I should believe you?"

Her sudden sternness and aloof gaze made Yvonne feel uneasy, as if she was sitting on a bed of needles. She pursed her lips and subconsciously hugged the pillow tightly with both arms while stammering, "We... We're good friends, so why can't you believe me? Hahaha, don't you... think so?"

"Yeah, I do." Veronica nodded and shifted her body to the side. Just as Yvonne avoided her sharp gaze and turned to look elsewhere, she quickly reached into Yvonne's pocket and took out her phone. "Vero-" Yvonne exclaimed, but Veronica immediately stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and shook her head at her, motioning her to remain silent.

She looked down at Yvonne's phone and sure enough, it had been connected to a call for three minutes. Her red lips curled slightly as she gently placed the phone on the table without hanging up. Trust my *ss! For a moment, Veronica would really like to not care about Yvonne anymore and leave her to fend for herself; at the same time, she felt that Yvonne was just a simple and righteous girl, so she could not bear to watch Yvonne fall into their trap.

She switched the call to speaker mode before releasing the hand that was covering Yvonne's mouth. She continued, "After you and Conrad left, Xavier confessed to me, but I did not accept him. Do you know why?"

The nerve-wrecked Yvonne swallowed carefully as she was terrified by both Veronica's intense energy and wit. How does she know that I am on a call with Conrad? Did she eavesdrop on us earlier?

"W-Why?"

"Well, this I have to start from what happened a month ago. At the Kingses' banquet that day, I went to the Kings Residence, but Matthew was not there. That night, I was drunk and Conrad sent me back, but I ended up falling unconscious. After that, he handed me over to Xavier, who took me to the hotel."

As her story reached this point, Veronica paused and raised her gaze slightly. She tilted her head as her dark unreadable eyes carried a hint of hostility. "Do you know what he did to me?"

Two adults at a hotel-what else could have happened? Soon, Yvonne's expression faltered slightly and she was shocked into silence.

However, Veronica sneered and turned to look at the phone and invited with great interest. "Uncle Conrad, since Yvonne trusts you so much, why don't you tell her?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone before a hearty laugh suddenly broke out. "Hahaha, Roni. I don't understand what you're talking about."

Although Conrad was already aware that Veronica knew everything, he did not expect her to see through his plan like a glass. With her brazen invite from the other end of the call, it almost felt like a provocation to him.

"Uncle Conrad, isn't all this secrecy tiring? I'm tired just by looking at you," Veronica said without holding back. "The water you gave me that night was spiked, wasn't it? At Jackson's wedding, you and Xavier have helped a lot behind the scenes, haven't you?"

"What... Veronica, what do you mean?" Before Conrad could even speak, Yvonne had already grabbed her and demanded, "It's impossible! How can this have anything to do with Conny? There's no way! Veronica, are you mistaken?"

Yvonne found it difficult to accept the sudden plot twist and her voice even trembled a little as she spoke. She used to call Veronica 'Roni', but now she was calling her by first name.

Veronica could feel the surprise and shock from Yvonne's expression and she answered truthfully, "I came here today just to tell you the truth, but I didn't expect you to believe him more than you believe me. If that's the case, I don't have to hide any further. It was Conrad who worked with Xavier that day. After I was taken to the hotel by Xavier, he... Ha, do I even have to say it out loud? It's a pity that I only found out yesterday."

"In order to verify the truth, I specially invited Xavier out and borrowed his phone where I saw the photos he took on his phone with my own eyes. Do you know why he did this? It was all because the video that Melissa played at Tiffany and Matthew's wedding that offended Matthew. Matthew wanted to get rid of Melissa, but I made a plan to deliberately hurt both of them in order to save their lives. In the end, it was al for nothing. Have you heard the story about the farmer and the viper? That was what happened to me."

She continued with a mocking laugh at herself, "I treated Xavier as a true friend, but I didn't expect this to happen in the end. After he sent the photos to Matthew, Matthew stopped contacting me for a month. Ever since he disregarded me, Xavier introduced Jackson's wedding business to me. After that, the incident at Jackson's wedding, including the case where I was framed for assault by the reporter and Monica's husband; these were all the work of your sweetheart and Xavier."

As Veronica spoke, she took out her phone and typed a sentence on it. 'Follow me out immediately.' She handed Yvonne her phone for a look, then changed her phone to the headset mode and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

With that, she stood up and beckoned to Yvonne to head outside with her. Just as Yvonne was about to ask something else, Veronica shook her head at her. Yvonne sat on the sofa and fell silent, but a few seconds later, she looked at Veronica firmly and rose to her feet before sneaking out of the living room together.

As the living room door gently closed and the two walked out, Yvonne immediately asked, "Why did you ask me out here?"

Veronica looked at her and said somberly, "Yvonne, if you believe me, please leave with me now. But if you choose to continue believing in him, you can turn around and head back."

If Xavier could act on such a despicable and shameless matter, then Conrad would not be any better. As a woman, Yvonne never expected Xavier to do such a dastardly thing to Veronica. Or... Is Xavier just a bad apple on its own? As a result, Yvonne was hesitating.

Seeing her hesitating best friend, Veronica continued, "In the private room you booked today, I ordered wine after I went. Unfortunately, once again, Xavier tampered with it and took me to the hotel. He pointed a camcorder at the bed and planned to violate me. If it wasn't for my desperate resistance, the next time you hear about me, I would be nothing more than a joke."
