Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 9

once after getting the money. As for the Kingses, they’ll only acknowledge Tiffy as the one who saved Young Master Matthew’s life. Moreover, you said you saved his life, but do you have any evidence of that?” Rachel asked. “You think I’ll have no way to prove it after you all deleted the footage and stole the ring, huh? Don’t forget it was recorded on the food delivery app that I had ridden past the intersection that day.” Veronica flashed the cell phone in her hand. Then, she continued, “Well, the food delivery record can’t prove 100-percent that it was me who saved Matthew’s life, but Tiffany didn’t even receive a food delivery order that day. Wouldn’t Matthew get suspicious? Anyway, rather than getting myself in trouble without getting the reward from him, I’d prefer to grant Tiffany’s wish.” In reality, Veronica didn’t deliver the takeout to the customer that day, so she couldn’t prove that she had passed through the road. This was also why she didn’t speak out and refute Tiffany when the latter lied in front of Matthew. In other words, the food delivery app wasn’t sufficient as evidence, but it could be used to ‘scare’ the Larsons, who had a guilty conscience. “How dare you!” Tiffany didn’t expect Veronica to have a card up her sleeve. Fearing that Veronica might expose her lies in front of Matthew, she asked, “How much do you want?” “Since you were the one who gave birth to me, Mrs. Larson, I’ll give you all a 90% discount. Give me 10 million.” Rachel replied, “10 million? What nonsense are you talking about?” Tiffany said, “You really are insane, Veronica!” The mother and daughter couldn’t bow to Veronica’s threats, of course. How dare someone from the depths of the country demand such an exorbitant price? Without wasting her breath, Veronica stood up and pretended to leave. “Since you two don’t agree to it, I’ll go to Old Mrs. Kings. She’s the Kings Family’s matriarch, so she’ll give the final word.” Tiffany had yet to figure out how Elizabeth got to know Veronica or why she was so partial to the latter. Consequently, she couldn’t help feeling that Veronica’s existence was a major threat to her. “Wait a minute,” she called out to Veronica. “Mom and I have to discuss this with Dad, so wait here,” she said while taking Rachel’s hand. “Mom, let’s go upstairs and call Dad.” With that, the mother and daughter went upstairs, whereas Veronica waited downstairs. However, the Larsons were too despicable. Fearing that they might be discussing some mean tricks upstairs, Veronica went upstairs worriedly. Dragon’s Creek Villa was an old villa that was built some years ago, so its soundproofing wasn’t very good. Veronica could vaguely hear the conversation between Tiffany and Rachel while standing at the door. She listened for a while, but she didn’t hear anything like which dirty tricks they would be using against her or her adoptive parents from their conversation. Inwardly, she couldn’t help mocking herself for being overcautious and somewhat paranoid, and she got ready to go downstairs. Just then, however, she heard words like “adoptive parents” and “car accident.” As she couldn’t make out the sentences clearly, she pressed her ear against the door and listened carefully out of curiosity. “Veronica’s insatiable, and she’s the spitting image of me. If we keep her around, she’ll become a threat to us. And besides, Old Mrs. Kings likes her so much. How am I gonna get married to Matthew with her existence?” “That being said, Tiffy, we’ve crippled her adoptive father in the car accident in order to force her to donate her bone marrow to your brother. Don’t tell me you’re gonna lay a hand on her even?” “Are you stupid, Mom? As long as Veronica’s alive, she’ll hinder me from marrying into the Kings Family! That’s unless… you can make her a vegetable too!” As Tiffany spoke of this, her voice went up a few octaves all of a sudden; she got somewhat anxious. Standing outside the door, Veronica heard every word Tiffany had said, which sent a chill running down her spine. Still, she only felt her blood boiling. Over two months ago, Floch Larson and Rachel suddenly showed up before Veronica, saying they could bring her back to the Larson Family on condition that she donate her bone marrow to her leukemic younger brother. They had no choice but to go to Veronica because Tiffany’s bone marrow didn’t match his. Naturally, Veronica refused, which was why her adoptive parents suddenly had a car accident a month ago. After her adoptive parents were hospitalized with grave injuries, Floch and Rachel showed up again, saying they could treat her adoptive parents for free as long as she was willing to donate her bone marrow to the Larson Family’s youngest son. At the time, Veronica was a little suspicious of the car accident, as well as Floch and Rachel’s sudden appearance. But in the end, she thought that they wouldn’t go so far
