The Life of A Billionaire’s Wife novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Got Tricked Into Attending an Engagement Party

“Nah… he’s young and strong. He won’t starve to death even if he skipped a meal,” Veronica said as she waved her hand. But in truth, she was planning to treat Xavier to lunch later.

However, Veronica received a death glare from Daniella by saying that. “Hurry up and go.”

“But, I…” She was at a loss of words momentarily. Left with no choice, Veronica turned to Xavier and said, “Come on. Let’s go! Time to take you down for your breakfast.”

“Oh, it’s fine, Mrs. Murphy. There are some matters that I need to attend to at my company, so I’ll be taking my leave first.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. I’ll be back later to visit you.”

After bidding Daniella goodbye, Xavier left the ward, and Veronica sent him off at the elevator. “Thanks a lot, buddy! I’ll treat you to a meal sometime later. Oh, and rest assured. Seeing that you came to visit twice, my mom is certainly convinced that you’re my ‘boyfriend’ now. So, I’m pretty sure she won’t ask you to come over again next time.”

“Bye…” Losing his usual cheeky smile, Xavier merely said ‘bye’ and did not say anything more.

After that, Xavier made his way downstairs and out of the inpatient department. As soon as he was outside, he made a phone call. “Help me look up information regarding Veronica Murphy and Tiffany Larson.”

In the meantime, Veronica was upstairs in the ward, accompanying Daniella. “Mom, can you please stop asking Xavier to come over in the future? He’s very busy with his work.”

“Alright, alright. I know.” Daniella waved her hand and said nothing more.

Now that she had lost her job at the club, Veronica could only deliver food every day in the following days. Rain or shine, she was still as busy as a bee.

That was until the third night. Veronica received a call from Thomas, asking her to pack her belongings and move to the Kings Residence the day after tomorrow. Later, once Young Master Matthew had gotten the results of the investigation of the car accident, Thomas would notify her first thing.

Knowing she was not qualified to negotiate, Veronica naturally agreed.

With that, Veronica hung up the phone. It had been a long day for her, so she fell asleep after watching a variety show.

Since she was pregnant in the first place, Veronica was constantly drowsy. In addition, she had to juggle between her food delivery job and visiting the hospital. Hence, there was no doubt that her workload was intensive.

The next day, the sky was clear, and the sun was warm.

On this day, the Hilton Hotel was exclusively reserved by the Kings. There was a photo of Matthew and Tiffany posing together at the front entrance, and the words ‘Matthew and Tiffany’s Engagement Party’ were printed on the LED screen.

Starting from 9.00AM, various luxury cars were seen driving into the Hilton Hotel’s parking lot one after another. Many of the Bloomstead’s elites and celebrities walked through the sidewalk and made their way all the way to the hotel lobby’s red carpet.

In front of the hotel’s entrance, many reporters had gathered around. The atmosphere was boisterous—whether it was live broadcasting, the rapid clicking sound of the photographers’ cameras, or the constant photo shooting.

Yet, as one of the main characters of the engagement party, Matthew was still working in Spinfluence Group’s President’s office.

To him, such an engagement party was just a formality, and it even seemed to be less important than the work documents in his hand.

Even if these work documents in his hand were not urgent to be processed, Matthew would still think they were more important than his engagement party.

However, things were completely different on Tiffany’s side. Currently sitting in her boudoir in Larson Residence, Tiffany wore a custom-made dress sent by Matthew. Her long hair was slightly curled, and she had applied some light makeup on her face. Topping her whole look with a pair of limited-edition earrings, necklace, and headpiece, Tiffany looked like the most dazzling lady.

“Oh, my. Our Tiffy is really beautiful.”

Rachel kept staring at Tiffany’s reflection in the vanity mirror. For her engagement party, Tiffany wore a white off-shoulder dress that enhanced her waistline and perfectly showed her delicate collarbone. Her chin was raised slightly, revealing her fair neck. Like a proud white swan, Tiffany portrayed gentle regality and noble origin.

With a smile on her face, Tiffany took Rachel’s hand. “Mom, I can finally get married to Matthew! I finally got what I wished for.”

“Tiffy, you’re a lady of talent and beauty in Bloomstead. Of course you can have what you wish for.”

As Tiffany’s mother, Rachel was extremely delighted to witness her engagement with Matthew.

Finally, years of hard work and nurture were being rewarded.

“Mom, how about Veronica? Did you make any arrangements?”

“Sure, sure!”

Hanging up the phone, Veronica parked her motorcycle. Then, she entered the building, holding the takeaway box.

However, since it was an extremely grand event, even the back entrance was secured with bodyguards. When the guards saw Veronica coming in, they immediately stopped her. “What’s your business here?”

“I’m the delivery person. Food delivery for David Wagner!”

“Oh, Manager Wagner! Not a problem. You may enter, but exit rapidly once you’re done with the food delivery.”

“Alright, I’ll take note of that. Thanks!” While holding the takeaway box, Veronica walked in through the back entrance after thanking the guards. By the time she arrived at the hotel lobby, she trotted up to the second floor with the food, for fear that she would run out of time if she slowed down her pace.

There was an endless stream of people in the lobby located on the first floor. Many bodyguards in suits and leather shoes with white gloves stood at the corners of the lobby.

Those who passed by Veronica were mainly socialites from upper-class society, and quite many among them were A-list celebrities. They were dressed in their finest outfits, and their faces were beaming with delight. These were all public figures whom Veronica had seen on TV.

Though feeling surprised, Veronica had no time to speculate whose wedding it was as she saw that her delivery time was about to expire in three minutes.

After that, Veronica trotted to the super large banquet hall located on the second floor. However, she halted in her tracks the moment she was about to step into the hall entrance and frowned.

“Wait, something’s off…”

As she murmured, Veronica tilted her head to look at the standing poster which was placed on the side. She felt it was rather familiar when she took a glance at it a moment ago.

And so, Veronica slowly took two steps backward. The food that she was supposed to deliver fell out of her grip and onto the ground with a thud once she had a clearer look at the person in the photo.

In the photo, the devastatingly handsome Matthew was embracing the elegant-looking and beautiful Tiffany. The man was expressionless, as cold as ever. Meanwhile, the woman in his embrace was smiling like a flower, and her face was filled with happiness.

“It’s their engagement party?”

This stunned Veronica to her core. She stood there in a daze with indescribable shock in her heart.
