Chapter 61 Matthew's Arrival

However, Veronica had received a punch when she was in the car. It hadbeen a heavy punch that had felt so painful that she couldn't return toher senses even after a long time.

As Saint Hospital was located in a remote area, there weren't many carsaround. Hence, Veronica had had no choice but to get into Yvonne's carwhen she happened to bump into her, to avoid being caught up bythose people.

Truth was, Veronica had been afraid that the Larson Family would sendpeople with guns to chase after her.

She probably would be lucky enough to avoid one or two gunshots butno matter how fast she was, she couldn't possibly guarantee that shecould avoid every single shot when she was surrounded by bullets.Besides, during the night when the fire had happened, although shehad hidden in the bathroom, she had deliberately let the fire burn herarm, the back of her foot and something she held rather dear—herlong hair.

The bathroom was connected to the underground sewers. She couldhave escaped, but she had purposely waited for rescue so that shecould escalate the issue.

Only when the matter was escalated would she get the chance to pushthe Larson Family into the limelight.

Nonetheless, Veronica had never expected Yvonne to be another“troublesome person’ as well; it was a pure miscalculation on her part.When they exited the room, Veronica glanced around and thought thatthey might be at the storage area located at the bottom of the ship.The two of them dashed to the end of the hallway and took a look atthe floor plan posted on the staircase wall before Veronica broughtYvonne upstairs.

They managed to replace their way into the employees’ changing room,and Veronica dragged Yvonne in and they changed into servants’ attire.After that, Veronica went to the washroom and found some shampooand soap. She washed her face repeatedly to remove the layer of dark-colored makeup that she had applied on her face, restoring her originalfair complexion.

She exited the bathroom after a while and called out to Yvonne. “Let'sgo.”

"Uh... W-Who are you?” Startled, Yvonne poked her head into thebathroom to take a glance inside before she asked, “Where's Veronica?”“Cut the crap. I'm Veronica. Let's go,” Veronica impatiently explained.“Oh, God. How can you be Veronica?! Veronica is so ugly but you aregorgeous.”

“It was all makeup.”

“Can makeup last for ten days?”

"I used special cosmetics products.”

“Oh, my! That's amazing! Why did you purposely make yourself look sougly? Who exactly are you?"

Yvonne turned to stare at Veronica, appraising her from all angles withan expectant look in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Veronica's expression fell. She glared at Yvonne with herclear eyes. “Are you a child? Why do you have so many questions?”

“Il was just too astonished.”

In the end, Yvonne couldn't stifle the urge to touch Veronica's face. Itfelt soft and tender, and her complexion was smooth and delicate.“Goodness, how did you maintain your complexion even after wearingmakeup for ten days? You are actually more beautiful than me. That'sunbelievable.”

"Dig your eyes out if you don't believe it!” Veronica snapped, whichfrightened Yvonne and shut her up.

And so, Veronica grabbed Yvonne by her collar and together theyexited the room while pushing a dining cart.

As there weren't any security cameras at that level, the duo managed toleave the room easily and threw away their own clothes in differenttrash cans.

Veronica's sudden change in her looks had given them the courage toeven show up before the mercenaries. Just like that, Veronica managedto shield Yvonne and successfully avoid a few rounds of searches.

An hour later, the ship arrived at the port and came to a stop.

Veronica and Yvonne had already changed into another set of clothingand the former even applied a simple makeup on the latter. Then, theyfollowed the crowd and alighted from the ship.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Thomas were standing at the dock where thecruise ship named Selvy was, to observe every single person thatalighted from the ship. The cruise ship had just arrived at Castron fromDestor.

“Young Master Matthew, there are 1,200 passengers on the Selvy andthere are countless rooms in it. It will be difficult to replace Miss Murphy,”Thomas said with a heavy heart.

Meanwhile, Matthew, who was dressed in a suit, stood off at one sidewith a cigarette between his lips. “If we can't replace her, we will board theship and search for her room by room.”

“Yes, sir.” Thomas nodded, then instructed the men dressed in suits,who were standing in a line beside him, “Keep a close eye on all ofthem. There cannot be any mistakes.”

The men nodded and spread out to carefully observe every singlepassenger that alighted from the cruise ship.

At the same moment, Veronica and Yvonne alighted from the ship, andthe former held an anxious Yvonne by the hand. “Stay calm. Be carefulnot to expose ourselves.”

When they successfully got down from the ship, they were greeted by afew men in suits at the dock.

No matter how calm Veronica was, Yvonne was still flustered. She wasso scared that she started running.

The moment she started running, she attracted the attention of themercenaries, who were carefully checking the passengers. Theyimmediately went after her.

“What an idiot!" Veronica cursed. She wanted to ignore the otherwoman, but she couldn't bring herself to do so, so she went after her aswell.

As her gaze was focused on Yvonne, she overlooked Matthew, whohappened to brush past her.”

“Young Master Matthew, isn't that Miss Larson? Why is she here?”Veronica was barely two meters away when she ran past them, but notonly Thomas took notice of her, even Matthew caught sight of her.“She's not Tiffany.” Matthew's expression turned dark, a slight frownbetween his straight brows on his dashing face. He observed thewoman from her back and the way she ran—it was way different fromTiffany's.

On the other hand, before Veronica managed to catch up with Yvonne,the latter was apprehended by a few mercenaries.

Due to time constraints, the simple makeup wasn't able to transformYvonne's face completely. After all, extensive makeup that couldtransform one’s face into someone else's would take a few hours, at thevery least.

Therefore, Yvonne's identity was easily exposed.

Two mercenaries grabbed Yvonne, one of them then pointing a gun ather waist. Although the mercenary had a piece of clothing draped overhis wrist so that nobody could see what was underneath it, Veronicaknew very well what he was holding under that clothing.

Otherwise, Yvonne wouldn't just stand quietly without struggling andwait for them to apprehend her.

And so, the few men escorted Yvonne toward the ship. When theywalked past Veronica, Yvonne bit her lip and cast her a glance.However, she chose not to drag her into the situation, so they brushedpast Veronica just like that.

Standing off to one side, Veronica, who took in the entire scene, feltconflicted.

In the end, she still couldn't bear to just stand there.

“Stop right there!” she shouted.

The few mercenaries paused in their tracks. They exchanged glanceswith one another before the four men turned to look back at her.Veronica was aware that the fact that they were able to enter and exitthe ship freely must be due to their special relationship with those onthe ship. However, there were many passengers who were stilldisembarking so if she enraged these men, they would definitely harmthe innocents.

Hence, Veronica dared not call for external help—not until she hadused up her last resort.

“Let go of Yvonne!” she yelled.

“Who the heck are you?” The mercenaries couldn't recognize her.“That's not important, but you have to let go of her!” She glared at thetwo men coldly. Without wasting any more time, she charged at them,then she lifted her foot and kicked at the man’s face.
