Chapter 39 Veronica's Identity Exposed

Thereafter, Floch and Rachel left the police station and headed back toDragon's Creek Villa.

On the other hand, Tiffany had been staying at home after she wasdischarged from the hospital, so her parents told her about Veronica'sincident.

Tiffany was sitting on the couch eating fruits when she heard the news.Instead of being annoyed, she laughed. “Since she is at the policestation already, let's keep her there longer.”

A smile spread over Tiffany's exquisite face. While chewing the fruits,she frowned all of a sudden and asked, “If we provoked Veronica, willshe choose to expose her identity?”

“She's already at the police station; so what if she exposes her identity?She has neither money nor power, and she has miscarried Matthew'schild. So, no one will care about her,” Floch commented and snorteddisdainfully.

Rachel chimed in, “By the time she is released from prison half a yearlater, you will already be married to Matthew and pregnant with hischild. Meanwhile, an ex-convict like her can never possibly be marriedinto the Kings Family again, so she naturally won't pose a threat to us. ”Tiffany felt great upon hearing Rachel's precise analysis. At once, shethought the injury on her head was worth it since the small injury couldcause Veronica to be imprisoned for half a year.

Meanwhile, Xavier, who had not met Veronica for a few days, called herseveral times but none of the calls were picked up.

In fact, he had made more than ten calls to her from the morning untilthe afternoon and had continued doing so on the following day, butVeronica did not answer any of the calls. Flustered, Xavier went toRegalia Condominium directly, but Veronica was nowhere to be seentoo.

Xavier was worried that something had happened to Veronica, so hequickly sent someone to investigate it. It was only then that he knewVeronica was currently detained in the police station for hitting Tiffany.Then, he leveraged his connection to meet Veronica in the policestation's guest room.

“Roni, are you alright?”

Although it had only been a few days since Xavier met Veronica, henoticed that the latter had lost weight. Besides, she looked even moremiserable as she was handcuffed. Nevertheless, despite the currentsituation, Veronica actually wore a smile when she saw Xavier.

“Yeah. It's quiet here.”

Sitting calmly across Xavier, Veronica frowned and asked, “How did youknow I'm here?"

Bang! Xavier slapped the table furiously. “Floch Larson is such a jerk!You're his biological daughter too, so how could he treat you like this?!Ln

Perhaps he was stirred up upon seeing Veronica's pitiful circumstance,Xavier threw a fit on the spot.

“Keep it down!” A policeman scowled instantly.

Xavier ignored the policeman’s reminder but paused and lifted hisbrows. His eyes which were originally filled with anger glistened as heturned to look to the side.

Oh shucks! I've let the cat out of the bag!

“When did you replace out about this?”

Veronica was surprised when she heard him, but then she sighed inresignation. “My mom must have told you, didn’t she?” Besides this, shecould not think of any other explanation.

Given how the Larsons feared the Kingses, they would surely alterVeronica's education background too besides replacing her identitycard to ensure there were no loopholes. As such, Xavier would notpossibly be able to discover it since even the Kingses could not.

Xavier ran his hand through his short hair as a wicked smile spreadacross his evil face. “I accidentally saw your family portrait the otherday, so Mrs. Murphy told me everything since she can't hide the truthanymore.”

Truth was, after that day, Xavier sent someone to investigate Tiffany andVeronica, but all the information was handled so seamlessly that hecould not discover any clues.

“Knowing about it doesn’t really matter to me. I just hope you can helpto keep it a secret.”

“I heard on the night when Matthew met a car accident, Tiffany savedhim while on the way to deliver food. If I guessed it correctly, the onewho saved Matthew was you instead, am I right?”

As a man of fortune, Matthew was someone on the top of the pyramidin Bloomstead and was always at the center of focus. As such, his caraccident would naturally draw all the media's attention, so it was notsurprising that Xavier was aware of this matter too.

“I'm all good. Thanks for visiting me, Xavier, but I hope you won'tmeddle with my affairs.” Veronica did not answer Xavier's question butquickly switched the topic.

Nevertheless, Xavier understood that her response was anacquiescence.

“Are you kidding me? Since the Larsons have sent you here, they mustbe dying for you to stay in prison. You'll be finished if I don't come toyour rescue!” Xavier just could not bear to see Veronica being bulliedby the Larsons.

Although his background was very different from hers, he always feltlike they were facing similar situations.

“If you deem me as a friend, please don't meddle with this affair. I'll beable to handle it well.” Veronica maintained a confident stance.Frowning, Xavier leaned forward slightly and asked softly, “Do youperhaps already have a plan?”

“Thanks for coming, Xavier. Ill buy you a beer after I get out of here.”Veronica stood up with a smile and directly left thereafter.

Given how Veronica deliberately hid the truth, Xavier knew the mattermust not be as simple as it seemed, so all he could do now was observefrom the side. With that, he left the police station with loads ofcuriosity.

Veronica's mysterious response caused him to be even more interestedin what would come next.

On that afternoon, one of the famous influencer accounts on Twitterposted shocking news. “Tiffany Larson, the Most Talented Socialite inBloomstead, Alleged to Have a Biological Younger Sister!” Besides, therewas a picture attached to the news

At the same time, there was another influencer account that posted anews article too, titled “The Larsons’ Long Lost Daughter Donated HerBone Marrow to Randy Larson’.

The two news stories had caused an uproar in Bloomstead, and theyimmediately became the trending topics.

When the Larsons saw the news, all of them were annoyed andflustered. Tiffany, who was resting at home, was so furious when shesaw the news that she started hurling stuff. “Veronica that b*tch! Howdare she do this?! She really deserves death!”

Blood-boiled, she glared at Rachel with her bloodshot eyes. “I've longtold you that we must get rid of Veronica. Otherwise, we won't be ableto live in peace!”

Hearing that, Rachel looked distressed. “I've not thought she would bethis capable to be able to contact the influencers on Twitter.”

“Dad, quickly shut down the news. Stop them from trending!” Tiffanyroared at Floch in a panic.

“What's the use of doing that now? Everyone must have read the newsalready. There are many reporters gathering outside the house nowwanting to interview us.”

Smoking a cigar, Floch furrowed his brows and pondered. “No wonderVeronica was so calm even after we called the police yesterday. It seemslike we've underestimated her.”

“What should we do now?" Tiffany asked.

“What else can we do? Of course, we have to get her out of the policestation!”

“What?! Get her out? But s-she...”

“Hmph! What's done is done. Right now, the only thing we can do isget her out and get rid of her!”

Floch wore a serious expression while his sharp eyes were filled withmurderous intent.

Half an hour later, Veronica was released from the detention center,and she saw Xavier waiting for her outside the moment she walked out.Seeing Veronica walking out, Xavier strode toward her and retortedcoldly, “Where's your brain?! You knew the Larsons wanted to comeafter you, yet you caused such a scene. Aren't you forcing them to getrid of you by doing so?”

Exasperated, Xavier stretched his hand to poke Veronica's forehead. “Ithought you got everything under control. Instead, all you have aresome reckless stupid ideas!”

“Ouch! That hurts!"

Veronica rubbed her forehead upon being fiercely poked by Xavier.“Why are you throwing such a fit? Am I someone who can be easilygotten rid of?”

Then, she placed her hand on Xavier's shoulder as if they were goodbuddies. “Let's go. I'm going home to shower and change, then I'llbring you out for snacks and beer tonight.”

“You're already in deep water, yet you're still thinking of drinking?”Driven mad by Veronica's “childish’ idea, Xavier became extremelyworried about her.
