Chapter 122
“Marriage?” Matthew had never thought about this sudden question before.
“That‘s right. We are already going to have a baby together; of course we‘ll have to get married. How
would our baby be able to live openly then? Shotgun marriages are a common occurrence nowadays,
but it still won‘t be good if it‘s revealed that we got married in a hurry.” Tiffany seized the opportunity to
put pressure on Matthew and advance her plans. Veronica was currently her largest obstacle in marrying
into the Kings Family. If she could smoothly marry into the Kings Family, then Veronica would no longer
be such a threat like she was now.
By then, offing Veronica would be as easy as flicking a finger.
Matthew furrowed his brows before he relaxed.
The two of them were silent for a long while. Just as Tiffany thought she wouldn‘t be getting an answer,
Matthew spoke. “After my grandmother‘s birthday.”
His grandmother‘s birthday? Tiffany calculated the time until then; it was just over a month away. The
ecstasy she felt couldn‘t be held back as it showed on her face through a beautiful smile.
“Her birthday is soon. Why don‘t we try some wedding gowns and get some pre wedding pictures taken
first? The baby will grow day by day; a pre–wedding photoshoot then will affect the baby‘s growth.” Smart
Tiffany attempted to strike the iron while it was hot, taking every opportunity she could to force Matthew
to agree.
Pre–wedding photoshoot? An image of Veronica came to Matthew‘s mind. His gaze turned hollow as he
stared at the documents on his desk.
“Young Master Matthew, don‘t forget that you cannot have any weaknesses.”
“Young Master Matthew, you will only be able to solidify your status within the Kingses once you have a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchild.”
“Young Master Matthew, you aren‘t allowed to marry for love in the first place as the son in a
distinguished family.”
All of a sudden, Matthew recalled all of Thomas‘ warnings. He fell into deep thought. Although he
currently controlled the Spinfluence Group, Spinfluence‘s greatest
encimy was still his uncle, Conrad Kings!
And falling in love would actually be a weakness.
“All right,” Matthew replied, breaking the long silence.
Even though it took a mere two minutes for his answer, it felt like an entire century for Tiffany. Her eyes
teared up at his answer. Instantly, she felt that all of her efforts paid off.
“Bloomstead‘s best pre–wedding photoshoot agencies are Florian Wedding Photographers, Ivari, Milano
Photography…”
Just as Tiffany was rattling off all these photography agencies, Matthew raised a hand and interrupted
her. “You make the arrangements.”
“Um… Okay, I‘ll take a look at these agencies and discuss the final choice with you.”
“That works. You should go back. I still have some work to do.”
“Sure. Go ahead then. I‘ll… go home.”
Tiffany was beside herself with joy. She stood next to Matthew to look at the beautiful lines of his face.
Her fists clenched. At last, she worked up the courage to bend down and press a kiss to his cheek. Then,
she straightened up and quickly stepped out of the office.
The moment the door closed, Tiffany walked briskly to the elevator. As she waited for the elevator, her
excitement got the better of her, and tears began to stream down her face.
She did it. She succeeded at last. She was about to marry Matthew. Soon, she would become the lady of
the Kings Family, becoming the most envied woman in
Bloomstead!
Meanwhile, Matthew gripped the documents in his hands tightly, his expression stormy and stiff. His eye
twitched slightly as a strong look of disgust came to his eyes. Several moments later, he pulled out a few
wads of tissue paper to wipe at the spot on his face where Tiffany had kissed him. Fury roiled in his
chest.
When Tiffany returned home, she immediately shared this piece of good news with
Floch and Rachel. The entire family was overjoyed by this turn of events.
Rachel hugged Tiffany. “Congratulations. Your dream has come true, Tiffy. You‘re
abou to become the lady of the Kings household soon.”
“Haha, that‘s right. I‘m going to be Matthew‘s father–in–law soon. Let‘s see if that little dog who usually
barks at me will have the courage to look down on me then.”
“What are you saying, Floch? Hardly anyone will dare to look down on you with your current status,”
Rachel jested.
“Why would there be no one? Look at the Kingses, the Neelsons, Lloyd, and those other wretched
families. They all think little of me, simply because their companies are doing better than ours,” Floch
ranted in displeasure.
Tiffany couldn‘t stand to hear this anymore. “The problem here now isn‘t with you, but with Veronica.
She‘s back. I’m worried that she might stir up some trouble in the coming days.”
Normally, Tiffany wasn‘t worried about anything, since there would usually be someone there to clean up
the mess if something happened. However, she was worried about the possible troublemaker, Veronica.
“You‘re going to marry Matthew soon. Once you have tied the knot and successfully given birth, you will
have solidified your relationship with him. You wouldn‘t need to fear Veronica then, and she won‘t be able
to affect you at all. Right now, you have to be vigilant about maintaining your clean image. Try not to
have too many altercations with Veronica. You must avoid trouble. We‘ll discuss this further after the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwedding.” Rachel‘s plan was to stabilize their position by getting Tiffany to marry Matthew as soon as
possible.
“Exactly. Your mother has a point.” Floch approved very much of Rachel‘s thoughts and plans. When she
announced Veronica‘s identity to the world, she successfully stopped the masses from talking. She also
found the people that Veronica had bribed and stopped the news outlets in time. This was what Floch
admired about Rachel
“Mom, will this really work?” Tiffany wasn‘t exactly sure.
“Old Mrs. Kings currently adores Veronica. If anything happens to Veronica, the consequences will be
dire. You need to remember my advice, Tiffany––do not miss the forest for the trees. You will have to
bear with it now in order to successfully marry into the Kingses.” Rachel pinched Tiffany‘s cheeks in
adoration. Although she was exasperated, she was actually more worried.
“Yes, your mother is right. Listen to her.”
“Okay then, I won‘t butt heads with Veronica for now. But if my marriage with
Matthew goes through, then it‘s time for Veronica‘s funeral!” Viciousness rose in her sves, a juxtaposition
against the beauty of her features.
Meanwhile, Veronica was still busy with work at Konig‘s secretariat even though it was time to clock out.
All of a sudden, someone came over and tapped her desk. “So hardworking. You‘re not going to eat?”
At the sound of the person‘s voice, Veronica lifted her head to see Xavier standing before her. He lifted
an eyebrow and grinned at her. “Come on, I‘ll treat you to a meal.”
“Not hungry. I‘ve got no appetite now.” Veronica expressionlessly lowered her head and continued to sort
through the pile of documents. “I‘ll continue working for a bit. I‘ll go back and rest later.”
“No need to busy yourself with those things; they aren‘t urgently needed. You can work on them
tomorrow!” Xavier ordered like a tyrant of an employer, a hand coming down to land on the documents in
front of Veronica.
“I‘m really not hungry.” Already in an unpleasant mood, Veronica turned down Xavier‘s dinner invitation.
She didn‘t want to eat; all she wanted was to calm down by herself.
