Chapter 305 Thinks That Veronica Is a Decent Person
Veronica drove back to the town center and removed her makeup in the car. Subsequently, she changed
her clothes and parked the car at the location she had agreed upon with Shirley.
After she had done all that, she got out of the car and hailed a cab from the sidewalk.
The cab arrived not too far from Yvonne’s apartment when she discovered that there was a street cart on
the sidewalk, so she got out of the cab before arriving at her destination. She sat by the street cart and
enjoyed some food and beer.
She had spent the whole night dealing with the hassle, and she had assumed that it would take quite a
while for her to find out who the mastermind behind all this was.
However, it seemed she was wrong and she didn’t even need that much time because the truth was right
in front of her.
She had thought about this countless times and the suspects in her mind were Ruka, Tiffany, and even
Conrad, but she never expected Xavier to be the perpetrator.
She drank one glass after the other, and the burning sensation in her throat cleared her mind.
She had thought that Xavier could comprehend the decision she was forced to make in that situation for
harming him and Melissa in the warehouse, but she was perhaps too naive.
As she thought of this, she couldn’t help recalling the episode at the Kings Residence when she had
ended up drunk and Conrad had handed her over to Xavier. He took her to a hotel and spent the night
there. She was fearful upon realizing the danger she was in that night. Fortunately, nothing happened;
otherwise, it would be too late for any regrets.
She sat and continued to drink by herself as she sat by the street cart. After paying her bill, she stumbled
back to Yvonne’s house.
Yvonne was fast asleep when Veronica got home, so Veronica freshened up quickly and went to bed
after that.
The next morning, Veronica woke up at six o’clock as usual. However, she did not get out of bed.
Instead, she lay there as she used her phone in bed.
Shortly after that, Yvonne woke up, and she flipped over in bed as she stretched her body. “Phew. It feels
so comfortable to wake up from a good night’s sleep.”
“Good morning, Roni.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYvonne clutched the quilt, and her eyes weren’t fully open as she greeted Veronica lazily.
Veronica responded, “Hey, good morning.”
“What would you like for breakfast?” Yvonne asked.
Veronica shot her a look. “Are you planning to make me breakfast?”
“In your dreams. Conrad will buy us something when he comes over.”
“Okay, I don’t mind anything.”
Veronica put down her phone and snuggled in bed. “I want to get more sleep.” In actual fact, she had no
urge to sleep at all. However, she found Conrad’s behavior overly enthusiastic and it seemed to have
blinded her to his true self. She couldn’t help wondering that perhaps Conrad was in collusion with
Xavier.
One hour later, Veronica got out of bed and sat on the couch in the living room.
At that moment, Conrad arrived with breakfast.
As soon as Conrad entered the house, Xavier turned up with breakfast as well, right after that.
“Roni, did you sleep well last night?”
Last night, she had brushed past an aloof and elegant-looking Xavier, and there was a haughty aura that
surrounded him. Right now, though, there was a slightly wicked smile on his handsome face, which
made him seem much friendlier and approachable. It was such a stark difference in the personality of the
same person.
“What’s wrong? What’s on your mind?”
Conrad noticed that she seemed to be preoccupied with her thoughts, so he reached over and waved his
hand in front of her with a concerned expression.
“Hmm? It’s n-nothing.”
Veronica shook her head and glanced at the spread on the table. “I’m hungry. I was waiting for you guys
to come over with breakfast.”
She then grabbed some cutlery and started the meal.
Meanwhile, Xavier came over and took a seat next to her. He expressed concern and comforted her.
“I’ve arranged for some men to investigate the matter, so I’m quite sure that there will be an outcome
soon enough. Don’t feel burdened or stressed unnecessarily. For the time being, just stay here and relax
with Yvonne.”
In the past, she had regarded Xavier as a friend as close as family, but right now, Xavier was a thorn in
her side and she couldn’t help being consciously wary of him. However, she had to keep things to
herself, and she couldn’t show her true feelings because she didn’t have enough evidence to back
herself up. Most importantly, there was no benefit at all in exposing the matter as there would be serious
repercussions.
“Alright. I’ll heed your advice.”
Veronica nodded while she munched on some oatmeal. Suddenly, she lifted her head and asked
solemnly, “What’s the progress of the investigation?”
Xavier, who was seated across the table from Veronica, shook his head. “I don’t have much information
for now.”
“You haven’t found out much yet?”
Veronica gripped her cutlery tightly, and she purposely put on a preoccupied look as she stirred her
oatmeal. Suddenly, she mentioned, “Start an investigation on Randall then. Clearly, I’m the target, so as
long as we conduct an investigation on Randall, we should be able to uncover some clues there.”
“Randall’s gone,” Xavier revealed, quite frankly to Veronica.
“He’s gone?” Veronica lifted her head and stared unblinkingly at Xavier with a pair of clear eyes. She
seemed to be trying to see through to his innermost thoughts from his handsome looks and to see how
despicable and dark his heart actually was.
Could this be Xavier’s first step in exacting revenge? Veronica was clueless about this.
“How long do I have to stay with Yvonne?” Veronica heaved a sad sigh, and there was clearly a dejected
look on her face.
Yvonne couldn’t help feeling sorry for Veronica upon seeing that. The former moved next to the latter and
wrapped her arms around the latter’s neck to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine with
Conrad and Young Master Xavier around.”
“That’s right, Little Roni. Don’t worry.”
Conrad kept both hands tucked in the pocket of his pants, and he looked down at Veronica from an
elevated position. “You just have to be mindful not to go out for the time being. Stay here with Yvonne
and don’t go anywhere else.”
“Why though?” Veronica asked perplexedly.
“There are a lot of nasty comments from the public about you and the words are extremely derogatory.
Although you’re innocent in this and you don’t care about public opinion, it’s still hard to contain the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmspeculation from the public, so the best way to keep you protected is for you to avoid going out as much
as possible.” Conrad solemnly analyzed the situation for Veronica.
“Yeah, you should heed Conrad’s advice. By the way, Veronica. Can I use your phone for a moment?”
“Sure.”
She handed over her cell phone to Xavier, and he did something on it for quite some time before
returning it to her.
Curious, she asked, “Xavier, what did you do on my phone?”
“I’ve set up a tracking system just in case we need to use it.”
“Oh, okay. Thanks.”
She held her phone and nodded at him before continuing her meal. Tracking system? Hah!
After breakfast, Conrad and Xavier left together. Yvonne had some work to deal with at the company, so
she went to the office. As such, Veronica was the only one left in the large apartment.
She lay in bed and played on her phone. She looked at the virus that Xavier had installed on her phone.
Not only was it able to track her exact location, but it was also able to tap into all of the phone calls she
received.
Veronica looked at the link he had used to install the virus, and she snorted mockingly.
This is childish stuff. I got bored of it ages ago, but he flaunted this in front of me right now? He must not
have realized that I studied computer programming at university.
She remained in bed and browsed through some news on her phone. There were several other trending
topics other than the news report on the incident yesterday.
‘Randall Watson, who was beaten up by Veronica for no reason, has disappeared’, ‘The share prices for
Spinfluence Group have dropped drastically and traded to a halt after Veronica’s incident’, ‘Tiffany wants
the public to trust her sister, Veronica.’
There were some comments by the people on the internet, ‘She has beaten Randall up and now she has
kidnapped him too. She must be desperate to have a criminal conviction, huh?’
‘Old Mrs. Kings shouldn’t have taken this woman as her god-granddaughter!’
‘I agree!’
‘She brings misfortune to anyone who gets too close to her!’
‘Tiffany’s the kindest. She has actually come forward and implored us to trust Veronica despite the
current situation!’
‘She’s too naive. How can she still think that Veronica’s a decent person.’
