Chapter 70 Grandma, I Lied to You

However, right now, Veronica had to stay in Bloomstead, so she couldonly use Elizabeth's identity to let them feel at ease.

Otherwise, she didn’t even want to divulge too much.

Just then, she handed over her phone to Matthew. “Thank you.”

At that point, she lost her jovial expression and there was a hint ofsomberness in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Matthew suddenly felt quite pained to see her dejectedlook. She seemed so helpless as she leaned against the passenger seatwith her head turned to the other direction looking outside

"You may be Tiffany's fiancé, but I'm not afraid that you will tell themwhat I said.”

Indeed, Veronica was unafraid.

Furthermore, she would have said the same words even if she was infront of Floch Larson and his wife.

She lamented as she looked at the scenery that flashed past outside thewindow.

“I didn't hear a thing.”

Just then, Matthew imitated her and he leaned against his seat to take arest with his eyes shut. He pretended to be unaware of everything.Meanwhile, Veronica didn't expect him to have such a reaction, so shecouldn't help turning her head to look at him. “You're her fiancé, so Iwould replace it understandable for you to reveal my words.”

“Is this why you agreed to be Grandma's god-granddaughter?”

He gradually opened his eyes and there was a deep, intense look in hisgaze.

Just then, Veronica nodded. “Yes.”

She was a person who accepted responsibility for her actions, so sheadmitted it instantly. “Feel free to tell your grandmother what I said too.I don't mind."

Originally, she should have avoided Matthew for certain matters, butshe was fully aware that he must have investigated the kidnappingincident previously. Otherwise, there was no way that he would haveknown she was on that cruise ship.

Since he was aware, then there was really no point in her trying hard tohide the truth from him.

“Your issue with the Larsons does not contradict the fact that Grandmawants to adopt you as her god-granddaughter.”

Just then, Veronica remained silent. She merely regarded the currentsituation as Matthew's good intentions to show his filial piety towardElizabeth. Perhaps he was afraid that if the truth was revealed, Elizabethwould be quite sad about it, which was why he refused to tell her thetruth.

At that moment, Veronica kept her eyes on Matthew and asked himoutright, “What about you, then? You're Tiffany's fiancé, after all.”Meanwhile, he gradually opened his narrow eyes and shot a look at her.Subsequently, he moved his thin lips. “As long as you don't gooverboard, I can choose to turn a blind eye.”

His sentence was quite straightforward. Basically, he wanted to tell herthat as long as she didn't make a huge fuss about it and affect theKingses’ reputation, he could turn a blind eye to everything.

Though Veronica couldn't quite comprehend Matthew's train ofthought, she knew that he meant what he said.

Perhaps it was because Elizabeth was exceptionally fond of Veronica, sohe had no choice but to tolerate the latter.

In the future, if Elizabeth passed away, perhaps he would regard her asan enemy, just like how the Larson Family regarded her.

Nonetheless, that was something that hadn't yet happened so rightnow, the only thing that Veronica could do was to maintain a greatrelationship with Elizabeth to ensure that Matthew wouldn't be able tohurt her.

However, it was beyond Veronica's expectations that Matthew wouldactually be so infatuated with Tiffany. It was to the extent that he wouldactually choose to ignore everything despite being aware of theLarsons' despicable acts, all because of his deep love for her.

Love was indeed powerful enough to make one stop at nothing.Suddenly, Veronica felt that her path to seeking revenge wasincreasingly full of difficulties and obstacles. Especially right now thatMatthew was added onto the list.

The car moved at a steady pace and Veronica suddenly saw a mall up infront, so she asked, “Could you lend me some money? I want to buysomething for your grandmother.”

Meanwhile, Matthew remained silent but he took out a card from hiswallet and handed it to her. “There's no password on it. You can usethis.”

“Okay.”

Just then, Veronica didn’t think too much and she requested forThomas to stop the car right away. Subsequently, she got out of the carand went into the mall.

Meanwhile, Thomas, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced atMatthew from the rearview mirror. “Young Master Matthew, MissMurphy and the Larsons—"

“You'd better keep this to yourself.” Before Thomas could finish hissentence, Matthew issued a warning instantly.

At that moment, Thomas realized that his boss had a thunderousexpression on his face, so the former stopped speaking. However,Thomas didn't quite understand his boss’ current stance.

Shortly after that, Veronica came out of the mall with a few bags in herhands. Thomas got out of the car to take the items off her and then heplaced them in the trunk. Subsequently, they both got into the car.

As soon as Veronica entered the car and shut the door behind her, shereturned the card to Matthew. At the same time, she also handed overa receipt to him. “I used a total of five hundred thirty-five and thirty-two cents. I'll pay you back after this.”

“That's not necessary. You can have it.”

“What do you mean by that?” Veronica was very confused.

Meanwhile, he shot her a cold look. “I wouldn't want my sister to bemocked for dressing too shabbily. It would reflect badly on theKingses.”

"Oh—is that so?"

Just then, Veronica felt slightly surprised. This is unexpected! I can'tbelieve that being his sister has such a great benefit!

Suddenly, a question flashed across her mind.

She pursed her lips and held the card tightly. Then, she asked aftersome hesitation, “If I clash with Tiffany someday, who would you sidewith?”

For some unknown reason, she suddenly came up with such a brainlessquestion.

As soon as her words hit, Matthew turned his handsome, flawless facetoward her slightly as he murmured, “Who would you like me to sidewith?”

“L.. Ha.

Suddenly, she chuckled and deftly switched the topic. “I'll make gooduse of this card for now. Once I've received my replacementidentification card, I'll sort out my own card and pay you the moneyafter that.”

Veronica did so because a few seconds ago, she suddenly realized thatthe question she had asked was such a brainless one and she was justmaking a fool of herself by asking that.

After all, Matthew could even ignore the fact that the Larsons werepotentially involved in harming her, all because of his deep love forTiffany, so there was no point in asking that question.

In the end, Veronica turned her head in the other direction to look outof the window and she no longer said another word

Meanwhile, Matthew's eyes remained fixed on the woman. His eyeswere dark and brooding, and one couldn't quite tell what was on hismind.

An hour later, their car finally arrived at the Kings Residence.

Veronica got out of the car while Thomas walked to the trunk to takeout the items. Then, Veronica and Matthew walked into the housetogether.

“You're back, Young Master Matthew. Oh! Miss Tiffany, weren't you atthe entrance? How did you end up here with Young Master Matthewagain?”

The butler came forward to greet Matthew with a slight nod as soon asthey walked into the mansion.

However, when he saw Veronica, he couldn't quite contain his surprise.Meanwhile, Veronica maintained her smile without saying anything.They walked past the foyer and went to the back of the house. Theyhad just placed down the items brought in the living room whenElizabeth's voice rang out from behind, “Ah! Isn’t this Veronica here?”Elizabeth instantly recognized Veronica just by seeing her silhouette.As soon as Veronica heard that, she turned around and greetedElizabeth. “Grandma?”

The former turned around and was shocked to see that Elizabeth wasthere, along with Tiffany by her side.

Tiffany was dressed in a silver, cinched maxi dress, and every move thatshe made exuded gentleness and reservation. In short, she was theepitome of a rich, young lady. That being said, she managed tocompletely hide the despicable side in her.

"You... Who are y-you?”

Just then, Veronica didn't have a disguise on, and she faced the worldwith her actual looks, so it was natural for Elizabeth to be surprised.“Grandma, she’s Veronica. She's also Tiffany's younger sister,” Matthewexplained.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth's brows remained tightly furrowed. She took alook at Veronica before glancing at Tiffany, who was by her side, beforewalking forward with an incredulous look. “What's going on exactly?”“I'm sorry, Grandma. I lied to you in the past. I didn’t want to reveal myactual looks because of several reasons, so I always wore a disguisewhenever I met up with you,” Veronica explained.

“Well, that doesn't make sense either. You didn’t have any makeupproducts during the few days that you stayed over at the KingsResidence. How did you put makeup on then?” Elizabeth scrutinizedVeronica intently, and the former was significantly shocked:

“I used a special type of makeup that doesn't get rubbed off at all onceI put it on.”
