Chapter 349 Yvonne Chose Conrad

Although there were traces of something, there was no conclusive and strong evidence in the end.

“So, it’s all just speculation?”

“Whether it’s speculation or not, you know it better than me, Uncle Conrad. In contrast, while I don’t have enough evidence to prove that you’re in cahoots with Xavier, there isn’t enough evidence to prove your innocence, either.”

Composedly, Veronica held his gaze steadily, thinking that this man was a massive hypocrite. Still, she had to admit that he was always calm and never showed his emotions, which made it difficult to figure out what was on his mind.

“My innocence doesn’t need to be proven if I hadn’t done anything wrong. If you don’t believe me, what’s the point of me explaining further?” He shrugged as he sighed and shook his head helplessly. “Yvie, I know that you’re friends with Little Roni, so I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll leave these men here to protect you, and I’m leaving first.”

A self-deprecating smile tinged the edges of his lips as though mocking himself for flattering himself—he cared so much about Yvonne, but she was still suspicious of him.

As he walked toward the door, he stopped and reflexively peered at Yvonne’s abdomen when he approached her. In the end, all he said was, “Take good care of yourself. Don’t worry. I won’t let Zac find you.”

As the last syllable left his lips, he kept his gaze away and left determinedly without any shard of unwillingness.

Such a scene unfolded in front of Veronica’s eyes, and she stole a look at Yvonne’s anxious face before shaking her head almost unnoticeably, knowing that all the things she said to Yvonne earlier were all for naught.

And she could only blame all this on Conrad for being so good at manipulation, plus the fact that he was an excellent actor, vividly portraying his role and the disappointment of a man his life partner didn’t trust.

Then, a sudden thought flashed through Veronica’s mind. With such excellent acting skills, it’s truly a shame that he never entered the entertainment industry and became an actor.

The next second, she saw Yvonne trotting over to Conrad and clutching his hand. “Don’t leave, Conrad. I-I believe you.”
