Chapter 357 To Die at the Prime of Her Life

“Yvonne, Roni is leaving. Better bid her goodbye if you haven’t,” said Conrad. Veronica gave Yvonne a

side glance but didn’t turn to look at her. Instead, she strode past the man and left without saying

another word.

‘Sometimes, one has to walk to the end of the route that they had chosen no matter how much they will

regret it later.’ That was Veronica’s last advice for Yvonne.

Yvonne couldn’t help feeling disappointed as she watched Veronica leave. She walked toward

Conrad’s side. “Conrad, how will we clear the misunderstandings between you and Roni? It hurts me to

see you guys going against each other. S-She’s a good friend.”

After all, the girls had been through hardships together, and she liked Veronica. “Time will heal

everything.” He stroked her hair and gently pushed her into his arms as he reassured her

She indulged in the warmth and his scent with closed eyes as she pressed her cheek against his chest.

“Conrad, I believe that we will clear up the misunderstandings one day, and things will return to their

rightful place.”

“I think the same too, but Roni is being paranoid. I don’t know what to do with her.” A calculative

Conrad was on the move again. “She doesn’t trust me, let alone Matthew. So, the projects I had with

Spinfluence Group are called off.”

“What?” Yvonne pushed herself away from his embrace, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean?

Why do you say that both of them don’t trust you?”

She couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.

“Don’t you know what kind of relationship they have right now?”

She still couldn’t understand his words. “What kind of relationship? Matthew is Roni’s god-brother, isn’t

it?”

Conrad smiled helplessly at that. “That’s not all. Little Roni likes Matthew. Remember the photo we saw

on the news? The guy next to Matthew was Little Roni. She was dressed up as a man.”

“What? She dressed up as a man?!” She raised her voice as she was wholly taken aback by the news.

His brows furrowed as though he was baffled. “You didn’t know about that? You were still close with

her. Didn’t she tell you?”

Upset, Yvonne shook her head. “No. But are you sure, Conrad? The person in the photo was a man!

How could it possibly be Roni? You must’ve made a mistake. If she truly wants to be with Matthew,

there’s no need for her to hide their relationship. Besides, the scandal has affected Spinfluence Group

negatively. Grand-Auntie was so livid that she almost punished Matthew. If what you’ve said is true,

Roni could’ve told Auntie.”

Since Conrad addressed Elizabeth as his mother and Yvonne had now conceived his child, she should

change the way she addressed Elizabeth. Still, it was not easy for her because of the age gap.

“No way. I thought she would’ve told you because you were still close back then.” Conrad shook his

head, pretending to be confounded. “Mom knew about it. Otherwise, she would’ve held Matthew

responsible for the issue.”

“I see.” She lowered her head with mixed feelings before muttering, “How come she didn’t tell me such

an important matter? Did she even see me as a friend?”

Right then, Conrad let out an ambiguous smile as though his scheme had succeeded.

“No. I must call Roni now and ask why she didn’t tell me about it. Does she even think of me as a

friend?!” Vexed, Yvonne fished out her phone.

Yet, the man stopped her. “I bet she has her reasons. Nothing good will come if you ask her right now.”

“So what? When the news broke out, we were still best friends, and I called her to comfort her. I even

scolded Matthew! I guess I acted like a fool back then. She didn’t even take our friendship seriously.”

She couldn’t help but fume in anger when she recalled that Veronica had given her the last advice

when she went to Veronica’s place. She was now certain that Veronica was trying to prise Conard and

her apart.

At that thought, she scoffed and looked at Conrad with determination. “Conrad, did you say that your

projects with Spinfluence Group were called off?”

He cupped her cheeks and responded gently, “Yes. I will never lie to my fiancée.”

“Let’s not worry about those. We can start new ones.”

“It’s easier said than done. Lesser projects mean lesser income. What if I can’t feed my wife and my

child in the future? ”

Conrad had a way with words as he so easily pinpointed her soft spots that his words made her heart

melt in affection. “I know you can do it. Don’t worry.”

Then, he smiled cunningly like a sly fox, for he had achieved his motives—sowing discord in the girls’

friendship to prod Yvonne into convincing her parents to help his company. With this tactic, he

managed to hit two birds with one stone.

When they left Kings Residence, Conrad went to the company to finish work, leaving Yvonne alone at

home. Due to boredom, she phoned her parents and suggested a cooperation with Conrad’s company.

Although her parents said they would consider it, she was positive that the problem was settled.

Meanwhile, Veronica was packing her stuff because she was planning to return home the next day.

While she was halfway through the packing, she received a call from Melissa, whom she hadn’t seen

after that very incident. She contemplated for a moment as she knew that Xavier was probably the

reason Melissa called her.

As she had already decided that she wanted to cut ties with the Crawford Family, she rejected the call,

but Melissa kept calling her.

Veronica felt defeated at Melissa’s persistence, so she sat on the couch as she answered the call.

“Yes?” Her voice was indifferent.

“Veronica, I would like to meet you.” Instead of anger, Melissa sounded calm, which was out of

Veronica’s expectations.

“You can just tell me over the phone.” Veronica had learned her lesson and remained vigilant so the

Crawford Family couldn’t threaten her. She was still young; she wouldn’t want to die in the prime of her

life as she still had things to do.
