Chapter 41
After leaving Twilight Club, Veronica hcaved a sigh of relief as the matter of the hospital costs was finally
seuled.
Her next target–the Larson Family. Once she settled the matter about the Larsons, she could leave
Bloomstead and get a proper job to provide for her adoptive parents. After all, she was most grateful to
her adoptive parents for upbringing her.
Ring... Ring...
Just then, Veronica’s phone rang. She took out the phone to see the caller ID on the screen-it was
Tiffany. So, she listed her brows and answered the call. “Veronica, what the hell are you thinking? Do you
wish to ruin the Larsons?”
The moment Veronica picked up the call, Tiffany’s hysterical roar came forth from the other end of the
line, and there was not even the slightest trace of the gentleness of a socialite.
Veronica moved the phone slightly away from her ear and only spoke up calmly after Tiffany stopped.
“What? I don’t get you.” She feigned an innocent look.
“Drop your act already! The pictures on Twitter are clearly taken at that time when you donated bone
marrow to Randy in the hospital. Who else could be the one exposing the news besides you?!”
Tiffany was exasperated as her greatest fear actually became her reality. Then, she paused a while and
continued before Veronica could say anything. “I’ve warned you not to expose your identity. Don’t dig
your own grave, Veronica Murphy!”
Tiffany’s words were filled with ferocity as she threatened Veronica, and it was hard to imagine that such
words would actually come out of her mouth as they were totally opposing her image.

“Dig my own grave? Are you thinking of staging a car accident again to kill me just like how you staged
one to injure my parents?”
At this moment, Veronica directly brought up the incident where the Larsons staged a car accident
against her parents.
Tiffany was stunned for a moment when she heard that, but she quickly snorted. “Since you already
knew that, you better know your place. Otherwise, I’m afraid that
you won’t be able to attend your parents’ funeral when they pass away.”
“My parents? Are you referring to Floch Larson or Rachel Zimmerman?”
“Shut up! I’m the only daughter of my parents. Who do you think you are? You‘re just a piece of trash
abandoned by our family!”
“If I’m a piece of trash, what are you then? Tiffany Larson, don’t forget that we share the same mother.”
“You-” Tiffany was so pissed off that she was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Veronica laughed in spite of herself. “Listen carefully, Tiffany Larson. I have the ability to
expose the pictures, so I can reveal my identity as well. If you dare to lay a finger on my adoptive parents
again, I’ll make sure to make the Larsons die with me!” The smile on Veronica’s face gradually
disappeared as a brutal look replaced it.
Today, what was exposed on Twitter were merely two pictures. One of them captured a scene of
Veronica standing beside Tiffany while the other was taken when the former donated blood marrow to
Randy. Both pictures were screenshots taken from the CCTV footage.
Although the pictures were not in high definition, Veronica’s looks could be clearly seen.
After leaving the threatening message, Veronica hung up directly, and at the same time, the recording
was automatically saved. Truth was, she provoked Tiffany just now to force her to say those words.
Veronica fidgeted her phone and smirked coldly as she reckoned Tiffany was throwing a fit at home now.
And true enough, it was exactly what she had expected.
At Dragon’s Creek Villa, after hanging up the call, Tiffany was so crossed that she slammed her phone
fiercely onto the table and flew into a rage.
Seeing her tremble in anger, Floch asked, “What happened?”
“What else could it be? That b*tch Veronica actually threatened me, saying that if we dare lay a finger on
her old, fool parents, she’ll reveal her identity.” Tiffany clenched her fists tightly as she had never been
this furious before.
She was extremely prudent because she had finally become Matthew’s fiancée, and she was afraid of
losing it. As chance would have it, the existence of Veronica was the
greatest threat to Tiffany, but there was nothing they could do about her, so it made the situation tricky
“You mean Veronica already knew we were behind that incident?” Floch was low-key flustered. Before
this, alihough Veronica sent someone to investigate the incident, all she could find was the driver who
caused the accident. But who would’ve guessed that Veronica was actually able to find out the truth!
Fear flashed through Rachel’s eyes as anxiety spread over her face. “Floch, what should we-”
“What do you mean, Mom?! Veronica is going to drive us to death if we let her live!”
After saying that, Tiffany pulled Floch’s hand and sobbed with her eyes red-rimmed. “Dad, you have to
help me think of a way.”
“Tiffany’s right. We can’t let Veronica live!”
Holding Tiffany’s hand tight, Floch narrowed his eyes, which were filled with coldness.
Meanwhile, in the private condominium on the 38th floor of Twilight Club, Matthew stood in front of the
French window with a cigarette between his fingers as he silently smoked it.
Just then, Thomas knocked on the door and walked in. “Young Master Matthew, we’ve investigated the
matter you’ve asked for.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Spit it,” Matthew blurted without turning around as he stood in front of the window with one of his hands
placed in his slack’s pocket and the other one holding the cigarette.
Thomas glanced at the document that he was holding and hesitated for a moment before answering,
“Not long ago, the Larson Family transferred 2 million to Veronica’s account, thereafter Veronica
transferred around 80 thousand to a private detective. Just a few hours ago, two well-known Twitter
influencers each transferred 280 thousand to her account.”
There was much information gathered, and even Matthew–who was always ‘steady–was slightly
surprised. Matthew then turned around and walked to Thomas to take over the bank account statement
and transaction information from the latter. “Why did the Larsons and the two Twitter influencers transfer
money to her?” Matthew pointed at the document and questioned Thomas.
“Young Master Matthew, I guess you’ve seen the trending news about the Larsons today. The two Twitter
influencers who transferred money to Veronica were exactly those two who posted the news. If my guess
is correct, Veronica sold the news about the Larsons to the influencers.”
This was the analysis that was closest to the truth. At once, Matthew tightened his grasp on the
document and furrowed his dark brows as he contemplated. No wonder Veronica suddenly had 2.4 million today. So that‘s what happened. But what‘s going on in the Larson Family? And how is she related to the Larsons?
“Go and find out why the Larsons transferred 2 million to her out of the blue,” Matthew ordered.
Upon hearing the order, Thomas hummed in response and left.
Being left alone, Matthew recalled the scene when Tiffany and Veronica first met. It seemed like it was
Tiffany who initiated conversations with Veronica each time while the latter was not too keen to talk to the
former.
Today, the news exposed on Twitter alleged that Tiffany had a younger twin sister from the same mother.
For one second, Matthew even thought it was very likely that Veronica could be Tiffany’s sister, but he
completely dismissed his guess at the thought of Veronica’s extremely ugly appearance.
“Interesting.”
Matthew curled his lips as he became even more interested in Veronica.
