Chapter 149

Seeing how simple both the woman and her place were, it was certainly unbelievable for the woman to be Elizabeth‘s god–granddaughter as she had claimed.

What a load of bollocks, thought the police officer before he incredulously asked, “Who did you say your god–grandmother is?”

“My god–grandmother is Old Mrs. Kings of the unbeatable Kings Family!” Veronica explained earnestly, The Kings that make up a quarter of The Four Big Families of Bloomstead, mind you.”

Instead of being intimidated, the police officers began to look at each other as they sniggered.

Then, one of them decided to speak up, “Young Master Matthew already called us earlier regarding a case of someone stealing his wine. We have filed a case for him. So please, follow us back to the station so that we can further investigate this.”

Despite inwardly cursing the situation out with all her might, she managed to give a calm response. “Oh, alright then. Give me a moment to change into something else,” she replied with her face full of smiles.

That sh*thead Matthew just wasn‘t capable of behaving like a proper human being.

She knew that he was going to call the cops on her, but she had not expected him to do it so quickly–she didn‘t even get the chance to put the alcohol back!

After changing her clothes while grumbling her way through, she finally stepped out of the room in a different outfit, where her reappearance had caught a few of the police officers by surprise. “Wait, are you… Tiffany Larson, the No. 1 Talented Girl from the Larson‘s Family?”

“She looks like Tiffany Larson, but her vibe is definitely different,” another officer expressed his observation.

“Oh, she is Larson‘s other daughter that went missing when she was a baby. They had it announced to the public not long ago. She grew up in the boonies. That must be why she can‘t compare to Tiffany Larson‘s elegance. But I have to say, this lady here might be prettier than Tiffany Larson.”

As though Veronica was an item placed on a shelf, the police officers began to evaluate her amongst themselves as they looked at her from head to toe.
