Chapter 471 Stay Away From Those Men
Veronica looked back at Adrian, somewhat confused. How did he know her name?
“What’s the matter?” She asked coldly. He walked up to her, studying her with a sophisticated look in
his eyes as if he was admiring a piece of merchandise. That look made Veronica feel repulsed. “If
there’s something to say, speak. If not, leave.”
Just as she said that she turned around, intending to leave, but Adrian stopped her. “Hey, don’t go. Do
you not want to know how I know your name?”
She chewed on the Hershey’s Kisses in her mouth, pursed her lips, and smiled. “You like Sasha; Sasha
knows me. It’s no surprise that you’d know my name,”
Even if she were curious, she wouldn’t show it. What she hated the most was being seen through by
others regarding her emotions and thoughts. Coincidentally, her wild guess was correct.
“I heard Sasha mentioned you before, and I know that you take a fancy to Young Master Matthew.
Although I don’t understand why you like such an arrogant man, are you interested in working
together?”
Adrian withdrew the scrutinizing gaze he had just now and asked her in a frank manner. Although
Veronica knew that he would bring something up, she did not expect him to propose such a ridiculous
proposal.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested.” Her tone was blunt, and the rejection was clear. Adrian didn’t really
understand the relationship between Sasha and Matthew.
The two-timers Adrian was talking about happened between Matthew, Veronica, and Sasha. It was a
pity that even Veronica herself was a stepping stone to Sasha.
As she thought of that, she let out a sardonic snort and exited the room This time, Adrian did not follow
after her. After she went to the bathroom, she returned to the private room.
Ruka was sitting at the table, playing with her phone. When she saw Veronica coming in, she shot her
a glare. “If you don’t come back in another minute, I was going to ask someone to go look for you in the
toilet.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy did she take so long in the toilet? Did she fall in?
“With my size, it’s hard for me to fall into the toilet,” Veronica teased her before sitting across from her
and continuing to eat.
“I’ve bought the ticket for the day after tomorrow; we will leave then. So, you can have a day off
tomorrow.”
Originally, Ruka planned to leave tomorrow, but something came up in the company, so she had to
return and settle it personally.
“I’ll just listen to your arrangements,” Veronica answered; she had no opinions on this.
…
On the bed inside the Hilton Hotel’s Presidential Suite, amongst the messy bed sheets, were two naked
bodies; Conrad and Zac.
“Wow, Conny, you really drive me crazy.”
Afterward, Conrad leaned against the head of the bed as Zac lay beside him. Conrad held a cigarette
with his right hand, hanging it off the edge of the bed as he flicked the cigarette butt and sighed.
He closed his eyes with a cigarette in his mouth and did not say a word.
After a while, Zac couldn’t wait for his reply any longer, and his face darkened. “You were the one who
begged me on your knees back then. What’s wrong? Do you regret it now?”
His azure blue eyes radiated a little bit of coldness.
Conrad frowned slightly when he heard this before relaxing his face again. He now had his usual
devilish yet charming smile. “What do you mean, regret? I was just thinking about where Yvonne hid
her child.”
“Hmph, as long as you’re not regretting things.”
Zac snorted coldly before he got up, picked up a bathrobe, and wrapped it around his waist. Then, he
stood barefoot on the carpet and stared at Conrad. “It is you who said that once you’ve had a child, you
can successfully be the heir of the Kings Family. You’ve tricked Old Mr. Kings, and he allowed your
child to be born without any hurdles. Nevertheless, your status in the Kings Family is not guaranteed
now that the child is lost.”
Conrad took a hard puff of his cigarette and narrowed his eyes. Despite that, Zac continued, “If you
can’t find Yvnonne’s child, you can’t be the heir as the head of the Kings Family. You and I are just
chess pieces to them.”
With that said, he walked up to Conrad and propped himself on the bed frame with one hand while the
other pinched Conrad’s chin, saying, “You should know the consequences of being a worthless chess
piece.”
Conrad squeezed the cigarette on his fingers with a little force and broke it, but he still had a wild,
arrogant smile. “What’s the hurry? You gave me a year, and it has only been six months. If I can’t even
settle such a small thing, then I, Conrad Kings, am not qualified to be your partner.”
He looked up and looked straight at Zac.
As the two stared at each other, the air in the room froze.
Zac was the first to break eye contact as he raised his head and smiled. “Hahaha, I knew that I have
good judgment in characters.” Thus, the hand that held Conrad’s chin went to pat his face. “I’ll be
waiting for your good news.”
“Mmm.” Conrad nodded slightly
“Would you like to take a bath together?” Zac pointed to the bathroom with a wicked smile on his pale
face.
Unfortunately, Conrad declined as he shook his head. “You go ahead. I have a call to make.”
“Okay.”
Without a second thought, Zac turned to the bathroom and closed the door.
Once Conrad heard the door closed, the smile on his face instantly dropped, and he was now utterly
gloomy. It was terrifying.
Half a year ago, he deliberately came to Bloomstead to find Yvonne once he found out that she was
pregnant.
At that time, she called him several times, but he did not pick up.
Back then, he thought that the child would not survive the day. Who would’ve thought that she
managed to escape with the help of Veronica?
Not only that, that b*tch even bit Zac back, saying that she was the victim.

Therefore, Zac immediately sent someone to catch Conrad. Although Zac initially wanted to kill Conrad,
he ultimately gave Conrad a choice.
Zac would spare Conrad’s life if he were willing to surrender to him.
This was also why Conrad was reluctant to save Yvonne when she was caught on the plane for the first
time by Zac.
Zac had an interest in Conrad as early as the time they first met in Castron, and he had always kept his
distance from Zac on purpose.
Alas, destiny loved making a fool of people; in the end, Conrad still ended up in Zac’s clutches.
Conrad was unwilling to die like this, so he could only choose to submit to Zac, stating that as long as
the child in Yvonne’s stomach could be delivered smoothly, Conrad would be the heir of the Kings. Only
then would he become Zac’s right-hand man and help him ascend to the top position.
Although Zac liked Yvonne, his affection toward her wasn’t that deep.
In the eyes of a politician, even their loved ones had to be evaluated for their value. Naturally, they
were good at weighing the pros and cons of people.
The reason why he wanted to marry Yvonne was just to use her family’s power.
There were a thousand ways for him to destroy the Spencer Family, but if he managed to conquer the
Spencer Family, he would be even more powerful.
After a while, Zac stepped out of the bathroom and onto the carpet with his bare feet. Then, he leaned
over to pick up the clothes on the ground. As he wore them, he said, “I’m in Bloomstead this time for
some business, and I just stopped by to see you. If it isn’t because there are urgent matters to deal with
back in Carston, I would’ve stayed a few days longer to accompany you.”
Conrad lifted the comforter, put on his bathrobe, and went straight to the bathroom. “I’ll meet you in
Carston when I’m free.”
“All right, it’s settled then. I’ll head out first,” Zac said.
Conrad brushed him off and entered the bathroom. Just as he was about to close the door, Zac pushed
it open and walked in, grabbed Conrad by the arm, and pushed him against the wall. “Remember, from
the first day we slept together, you’re already mine. So from now on, stay away from those men… and
women!”
