Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 5

How did you get her to pose as your girlfriend?” “Nice to meet you, Old Mrs. Kings.” Tiffany greeted Elizabeth politely. “I had a car accident a week ago, and Tiffany was the one who saved me. When she got me out of the car, I gave her the ring that was handed down in our family. You should know what this ring means, Grandma,” Matthew said while raising his left hand to show the ring he was wearing. Looking at the black diamond ring, Veronica instantly recalled what had happened. No wonder there was a ring in my pocket after I saved Matthew that day! Turns out that he put it in my pocket when I saved him, she thought. However, the ring went missing after Tiffany popped up the next day, and she wondered at the time where the ring had gone. At the moment, it seemed that Tiffany had stolen it, having known long ago that the ring belonged to Matthew! Veronica stood up. “That ring was—” “Why are you here, Veronica? I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Tiffany instinctively interrupted Veronica. Suppressing the shock within her, she held Matthew’s wrist and said, “Veronica, he’s the guy I told you about—the guy that I risked my life saving.” Then, she introduced Veronica to Matthew, saying, “Matthew, she’s Veronica, a friend I got acquainted with while doing food delivery to experience life.” Veronica was really disgusted by Tiffany’s brazen-faced lies. There was even a moment when she wanted to speak out and unmask the lady’s nauseatingly hypocritical and ugly nature, but she decided against it on second thoughts. The only thing that could prove that Veronica had saved Matthew’s life was the ring, the name she had used at the hospital, and the surveillance footage. However, the fact that Tiffany managed to steal the ring without anyone noticing and deceive Matthew meant that she must have checked the surveillance footage and been fully prepared. In other words, the surveillance footage might’ve been destroyed by the Larsons long ago. If she were to step forward and accuse Tiffany at this moment, even if she were to remove her makeup, she would probably have no evidence to prove that she had saved Matthew’s life. Rather than getting herself in trouble, she’d better wait and see what was going to happen. Matthew sized Veronica up with narrow, piercing eyes that grew more and more fathomless. “Is that so?” Tiffany said, “What a coincidence, Veronica! I didn’t expect to meet you here. Do you know Matthew too?” She remembered Matthew telling her that his family had arranged a marriage for him. Could Veronica be the woman that Old Mrs. Kings is trying to fix him up with? But how did she get to know the Kingses? Tiffany was on tenterhooks deep down. Veronica didn’t bother to answer Tiffany, who was addicted to acting. Instead, she said to Elizabeth, “Madam, since Young Master Matthew already has a girlfriend, I’ve got no reason to be here anymore. I’m going back first.” She was sounding Elizabeth out to plan her next move. She had to be cautious against Matthew, who was powerful and ruthless, and the Larsons, who would threaten her at every moment using her adoptive parents. Seeing that Veronica was turning around to leave, Elizabeth stood up and grabbed her hand. “Calm down, young lady! Sit down first.” She sat Veronica down in the chair. Then, she barked at Matthew, “Come with me, you rascal!” “Yes, Grandma.” With that, Matthew followed Elizabeth into the inner room without forgetting to throw Veronica a meaningful look. With a squeak, the door to the inner room closed. Tiffany couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. Stepping quickly toward Veronica, she uttered under her breath, “Veronica, you b—” Slap! Slap! Veronica boxed Tiffany’s ears twice before the latter could finish her sentence. “What else do you know besides calling me
