But they really have gone too far in humiliating me, thought Veronica. “He’s not at home. Come back later.” Rachel closed the gate right away, not wanting to waste her breath talking to Veronica. However, Veronica seemed to have predicted that Rachel would do so; she pushed the gate open and went inside before Rachel could close it. Rachel flew into a rage. “What are you doing, Veronica? Get out at once!” “Who is it, Mom?” Tiffany happened to come downstairs. Upon seeing Veronica, she couldn’t help feeling annoyed. “What are you doing here, Veronica? This is my home!”

They’re my closest kin, yet they loathe me so much, thought Veronica. Her heart twinged, but she looked calm and unperturbed. “Nothing. I just want to get my compensation for saving Young Master Matthew.” Her words were met with Rachel’s ridicule. “What does that have to do with you? Tiffy’s the one who saved him.” The one sitting before Rachel was also her biological daughter; but Rachel, who lived in the lap of luxury, disliked Veronica, who was from the depths of the country. She couldn’t help feeling that this country girl was rude, unreasonable, uncouth, and unpresentable.

If the outsiders learn about Veronica’s existence, it might ruin Tiffy’s and my perfect image in the eyes of the public. Veronica looked sidelong at Rachel before turning to look at Tiffany with a laugh. “You two have proved yourself to be mother and daughter. Both of you can lie without turning a hair. You two are really as bold as brass, I’m afraid.” “Shut the f*ck up, Veronica!” Tiffany chided. As she really didn’t want to see Veronica, she said to Rachel, “Mom, she’s here for money. Just give her 50,000 and tell her to get out as soon as possible.” “Yeah, you’re right, Tiffy.” Rachel nodded.

“I’ll go upstairs and get her the cash right away.” However, Veronica said shockingly, “Since the Larsons have lots of money, give me the 100 million that I deserve for saving Young Master Matthew’s life so that we won’t owe each other anything anymore.” “Don’t be too insatiable, Veronica!” Tiffany glared at her. “We’ll only give you 100,000 at most.” “We’ll give you 100,000, but you have to leave Bloomstead at once after getting the money. As for the Kingses, they’ll only acknowledge Tiffy as the one who saved Young Master Matthew’s life. Moreover, you said you saved his life,

ring, huh? Don’t forget it was recorded on the food delivery app that I had ridden past the intersection that day.” Veronica flashed the cell phone in her hand. Then, she continued, “Well, the food delivery record can’t prove 100-percent

takeout to the customer that day, so she couldn’t prove that she had passed through the road. This was also why she didn’t speak out and refute Tiffany when the latter lied in front of Matthew. In other words, the food delivery app wasn’t sufficient as evidence, but it

 

mother and daughter couldn’t bow to Veronica’s threats, of course. How dare someone from the depths of the country demand

Veronica or why she was so partial to the latter. Consequently, she couldn’t help feeling that Veronica’s existence was a major threat to her. “Wait a minute,” she called out to Veronica. “Mom and I have to discuss this with Dad, so wait here,” she said while taking Rachel’s hand. “Mom, let’s go upstairs and call Dad.” With that, the mother and daughter went upstairs, whereas Veronica waited downstairs. However, the Larsons were too despicable. Fearing that they might be discussing

 

Rachel while standing at the door. She listened for a while, but she didn’t hear anything like which dirty tricks they would be using against her or her adoptive parents from their conversation. Inwardly, she couldn’t help mocking herself for being overcautious and somewhat paranoid, and she got ready to go downstairs. Just then, however, she heard words like “adoptive parents” and

she couldn’t make out the sentences clearly, she pressed her ear against the door and listened carefully out of curiosity. “Veronica’s insatiable, and she’s the spitting image of me. If we keep her around, she’ll become a threat to us. And besides, Old Mrs. Kings likes her so much. How am I gonna get married to Matthew with her existence?” “That being said, Tiffy, we’ve crippled her adoptive father in the car accident in order to force her to donate her bone marrow to your
