Chapter 26 Tiffany's Threat

“Oh, who do we have here? What's a delivery girl doing here? The foodis scattered all over the floor, and it smells pungent.”

“It's Young Master Matthew and Miss Larson's wedding today. Didn'tthey already book the whole place? Why did someone order for a fooddelivery?”

“Who knows? Is she trying to sneak in?”

“Where's the security? Throw out this person quickly.”

The wealthy people and celebrities who passed by Veronica gave her alook of disdain, criticizing and ridiculing her, and someone even calledthe security to throw her out.

When two security guards came over, they saw the delivery vest shewas wearing and noticed how out of place she seemed, so theygrabbed her by her shirt. “Get out quickly. This place is booked.”However, Veronica shook off the security guard's hand. “Let go!”

Right now, she was furious. If she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't feel athing to see Tiffany and Matthew getting married because it hadnothing to do with her.

But now, she was already pregnant for more than two months, andMatthew had made a deal with her four days ago—if she gave birth tothe child, he would help her adoptive father with his surgery and replaceout the truth behind the car accident.

That was why she agreed to keep the baby.

Who would have expected things to take a turn so quickly!

Veronica could almost imagine the scene after the child was born—shewould be chased away, and her own child would be calling Tiffany“Mom’.

Mom?! Ha, how ironic! she thought.

“Miss, I'm warning you now. Get out of here quickly, or else don't blameme for being rude,” the security guard warned, pointing a finger atVeronica.

The people who were coming from downstairs stopped to watch. Eventhough they were from wealthy families or were celebrities who werealways in the spotlight, there were still many amongst them who likedto watch the fun.

“You don't have to chase me out. I can—"

“Roni, what are you doing here?”

While Veronica was speaking, Xavier squeezed out from the crowd andpulled her behind himself. Glancing at the security guard coldly, hesaid, “I brought her in with me. Is there a problem with that?”

Dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans with a necklacearound his neck, Xavier was a guest of the banquet, but while his casualattire made him look bright, handsome, and energetic, he was just thesame as Veronica—looking out of place next to all these peopledressed in expensive clothes.

"Young Master Xavier, she’s a delivery girl,” the security guardexplained, pointing at Veronica and the scattered food on the floor.Checking out the takeaway box on the floor, he crouched down andpicked it up. “Roni, what's wrong with you?” he said, pretending to beunhappy. “I asked you to bring me some food on the way but you can'teven hold it well.”

It didn't strike Veronica that Xavier would suddenly appear, and she wasvery grateful to him for helping her out. However, what happened nextwas a round of sarcastic remarks from the bystanders.

“My god, there must be something wrong with Young Master Xavier'shead. He's actually friends with such an ugly delivery girl!”

“She's so ugly that I almost threw up. Looks like Xavier is reallydesperate.”

“Indeed, he's the infamous useless bum of Bloomstead. What an eye-opener today is.”

“You can't bring her out on the streets. Such an embarrassment.”

The crowd kept criticizing while pointing at them as they sneered,mocked, and ridiculed them; their gazes fell on the two, as thoughexposing them under the spotlight.

To that, Xavier merely laughed it off. Just as he said, he was “invincible’and didn’t feel any inferiority nor embarrassment in the face of thesesarcastic remarks. Meanwhile, Veronica took it in stride as well, with anall-knowing look despite the people making fun of her.

More often than not, the both of them were very similar people.“What's going on?”

Suddenly, a husky and familiar voice echoed from behind the crowd.“Oh, Young Master Matthew is here.”

“Congratulations, Young Master Matthew. Your engagement to MissLarson is quite a surprise for us, but you're a good match for eachother.”

“Congratulations, Young Master Matthew and Miss Larson.”“Goodness, you really live up to your name as the number one beautyof Bloomstead, Miss Larson. You're stunning!”

“Both of you are a perfect match.”

“Young Master Matthew, someone is making trouble at your banquet.”"Young Master Matthew, it's been a while.”

The people greeted Matthew as they opened up a path for him, andwhen Veronica turned her head to look, she saw Tiffany, who was alldressed-up for the event and holding Matthew's arm.

Her chestnut brown hair was lightly curled with airy bangs in the front.Even though she had some light makeup on, her natural beauty wasstill very striking, especially since she was in a long, white dress whichreached the floor. The hem of the dress was decorated with sequins,and they gleamed like stars under the lights, making her seem like abeautiful fairy.

Meanwhile, the man was wearing a royal-blue suit with a black shirtunderneath and a necktie. His hair was slicked-back, showing off hisdeep-set features perfectly. With sharp brows and bright eyes, helooked like a stunningly beautiful man who had walked out of a manga.When the handsome man and beautiful woman stood next to eachother, the air around them turned extraordinary, and everyone turnedtheir heads toward them.

In contrast, it made Veronica appear even uglier; it was a kind ofugliness which couldn't be hidden even if she buried herself in mud.“Veronica, you're here as well?” When Tiffany saw Veronica, her eyessparkled, and she released her grip on Matthew's arm. Pacing up to her,she then grabbed Veronica's hand. “I thought you were still busy withdeliveries, and I wanted to give you a call later.”

“How did you know her, Miss Larson?” someone from the crowd askedcuriously.

With the grace and demeanor of a demure socialite, Tiffany smiledwarmly and said, “Let me introduce her. She's a friend I made when Iwas experiencing life as a delivery girl, Veronica Murphy.” Then, shegave Veronica a hug and continued, “Earlier, I already arranged for aprivate nurse to take care of your mom and dad. So, just enjoy yourselfhere this afternoon.”

It was already impressive for a socialite who had always lived under thelimelight to take the initiative to give an ugly and ordinary woman ahug. Moreover, she even initiated to hire a private nurse with her ownmoney to take care of the ugly woman's parents. It had to be said thatshe had a very good personality, indeed.

That was what everyone was thinking, except for Xavier and Veronica,who knew the truth.

The anger within Veronica rushed to her head, but since she knew thatthe Larsons were a despicable bunch, and she had learned from the caraccident, she could only bear with it for now.

Locking her eyes on Matthew, she had dismal and fury in her pretty,alluring eyes.

At the same time, Matthew furrowed his dark brows and cast a look atThomas next to him, as though he was asking with his eyes, Didn't I tellyou to keep the news away from Veronica Murphy?

Almost unnoticeably, Thomas shook his head and thought, I've alreadyinstalled an interceptive software in Veronica Murphy's phone, but whowould have thought that she would appear here!

“Congratulations! Of course I have to be here to watch the fun at yourengagement party!”

On the other hand, Veronica didn't act impulsively because she wasaware that she couldn't handle the consequences if she did. Moreimportantly, Xavier had said that he was the one who invited her inorder to save her the embarrassment.

If she made a scene now, not only would she embarrass Xavier, a seriesof unpredictable events would also happen.

Moreover, the reason I appeared here today was a ploy by the Larsonsso that I'd make a fool out of myself, she thought.

Even if she didn’t understand the situation earlier, she already did now,and she would never let the Larsons get what they wanted!
