Chapter 213 Veronica’s New Flame
Now, it looked like even Matthew had been tricked by Tiffany.
Veronica only fell into deep thought during all this. Why would Tiffany, being the prideful person that she is, choose to expose herself in front of the media? What drove her to do this?
Raising her head, she looked at the man standing beside her as a thought came across her mind…
Old Mrs. Kings wanted a great-grandchild so badly. So, if Tiffany really faked a pregnancy, she would never be able to hide it for long.
This only means that Tiffany was very possibly pregnant. But, it wasn’t Matthew’s!
Following this logic, this means that Tiffany cuckolded Matthew during the period of their engagement and had a baby pretend to be his?!
The train of thought enlightened Veronica, as it had been a few days since the incident of their wedding and the cancellation of their engagement.
Normally, Tiffany hated her guts and wanted her death by all means, but to Veronica’s surprise, she did not come for her.
During this period, Veronica was extra cautious, as she had been awaiting someone to assassinate her. Yet, nothing happened.
So, she knew that for Tiffany to fail in making a move on her meant something had happened.
Perhaps it was because Matthew, who was cuckolded, could not accept this fact and forcefully dragged Tiffany to abort the baby.
Or, Matthew, who wanted to preserve his dignity, threatened Tiffany with all sorts of methods, forcing her to ignore her pride and expose such disgraceful things to the public!
If not, maybe Tiffany’s confession actually hid a lot of things that she didn’t wish to expose, while some were embellished by her. But, it all seemed to make sense, and she managed to say all this without stuttering or even a hint of hesitation.
It all sounded so smooth. She might have prepared this beforehand and even gone as far as to memorize it.
In actuality, Veronica’s was almost right on the mark.
In the midst of this crowd, probably only Matthew knew why Tiffany would expose herself voluntarily in this manner.
Even he had to admit that Tiffany had quite the brains. Knowing that she had committed an unforgivable crime that led to Matthew’s revenge, she chose to admit her wrongdoings in front of the media first.
By doing this, not only did the Kingses get to keep their dignity, but Veronica would also not be misunderstood by the public.
Nevermind, since her actions fall in line with mine too.
Of course, he also meant to dispel any doubt about Veronica.
At the same time, Tiffany was well aware of the video evidence of her being entangled with another man and the one where she got humiliated by people. She was afraid that if she really angered Matthew, he might just let all these videos come to light, which would promptly destroy her life.
Desperate, Tiffany was forced to make this choice after discussing it with her mother.
By balancing both losses and gains, they were able to find the best solution.
“But, on the day of your wedding, when the video of the kidnapping was shown, you were protecting your baby with all you had. Doesn’t that prove you were really pregnant?”
“Yeah, is it true or not?”
“Come to think of it, that didn’t really make sense.”
“You’re lying, aren’t you?”
“Also, the video on the wedding stated that you had caused Veronica’s miscarriage, no?”
…
People started to voice their doubts.
Facing these accusations, Tiffany could only grip her dress tightly while feeling frustrated and humiliated.
Even if Veronica’s child was Matthew’s or whether she did cause her miscarriage, Tiffany could only choose to hide the truth.
Pursing her lips, she hesitated for a moment before facing the flashing cameras and calmingly replying, “Veronica was indeed pregnant before. However, her miscarriage was an accident. That day, I went out with her, but I accidentally sprained my foot and crashed into her, making her fall down and miscarry. The other day, when I was kidnapped by the enemies of the Kingses, it was all because I foolishly thought the mastermind was actually Veronica, which I then knew wasn’t after the truth came out.”
She knew that she would not be coveted by innumerable men anymore.
This retribution almost matched her wrongdoings!
“Miss Murphy sure is kind. Just look at how magnanimous she is.”
“They’re both twins, so I believe that Veronica would not be too harsh on her.”
“Now I’m curious as to who the child in Veronica’s belly belonged to.”
“And why do you care about that? It can only belong to her boyfriend.”
…
The last sentence only made the shocked Caitlyn more and more frustrated.
She had thought of every trick in the book just to go against Veronica and stand up for Tiffany. Who knew that when she was trying so hard to frame her, Tiffany would suddenly stand out and explain the whole situation to the masses?
Isn’t this just making me look like a fool?
Livid, Catilyn pointed at Veronica, questioning her, “Since you were pregnant before, that only means that you have a boyfriend. Why didn’t you bring him on such a grand occasion? If you didn’t, that could only mean you don’t have one, or that you dumped him and are in love with another man now.”
Tiffany, who bore the humiliation and lowered herself to explain the whole deal to the public, was akin to letting people step all over her.
She already did not know how to face the masses anymore, but Caitlyn was still trying to stoke the fire as if she feared nobody looking deeper into this.
On the contrary, Tiffany only wanted to end this farce so as to preserve what was left of her pride.
Fool!
Exasperated, Tiffany immediately turned around and slapped Caitlyn. “Shut up!”
