Chapter 260 Veronica’s Live Confession
The corners of Skyler’s mouth twitched wildly. He realized how coincidental the situation turned out to be.
Spoke of the devil and he actually appeared!
How could this even happen?!
In the afternoon, Caleb had just mentioned that Hendrey would not return, so how was this possible?
How troublesome!
On the runway, the host couldn’t hold in her excitement anymore as she held the microphone up and
exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! Ivana, is this scene of romance staged by you and your team in advance?
Was it intentional for Miss Murphy to wear the First Love series to do a catwalk, share her first love, and
confess to Mr. Johnson in the heat of the moment?”
Upon hearing that, Veronica cursed in her heart, What the hell?! It’s a pity you didn’t become a writer!
Presently, Veronica was immersed in the emotion of surprise. There were no words to describe her
feelings at that moment.
However, she could feel that her lips were opening and closing subconsciously.
A moment ago, she assumed that Hendrey would never know, but unfortunately…
Hendrey, whom she had not seen in five years, unexpectedly appeared in front of her as if he had fallen
from the sky!
Most importantly, the host did some exceptional reasoning to link everything together, which left her
speechless.
Veronica glanced at Hendrey, whom she had not seen for many years. He seemed to look a lot more
mature than he was back then, but he exuded a nerdy aura that was really attractive.
While she stared at Hendrey, Hendrey stared back at her. The two looked at each other as if trying to
remember each other’s faces for eternity.
Just then, the background music was switched to a romantic tune. Richard Clayderman’s Marriage
d’Amour sounded melodious, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to the climax.
For some reason, Veronica suddenly found her favorite song, Marriage d’Amour, so harsh and ironic at
this moment as if it was filled with endless ridicule.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, she felt a sharp gaze shooting straight at her.
Veronica’s gaze turned sideways, and she met Matthew’s heavy and slightly lost eyes.
At that moment, she felt like her heart had been pricked by a needle, making her a little uncomfortable.
She pursed her lips and held the microphone in her hand, feeling a little nervous as sweat formed in her
palms.
Yvonne, who was sitting on the other side of the runway, also witnessed the scene. She looked at the
man named Hendrey and then at Matthew. At that instance, she felt extremely embarrassed for
Veronica.
Backstage, Ivana had discussed with Veronica, saying that it did not matter if the latter was poor in her
catwalk. With her perfect height and body in addition to the made-up story about the design inspiration
for the First Love series, all Veronica had to do was present the jewelry.
However, the heavens somehow decided to pull a trick on them. Who would expect that her first love
actually came today?!
Most importantly, the host had an ignorant mouth! She just had to speak inappropriately!
Feeling bad for Veronica, Yvonne dug the ground with her toes uncontrollably.
“Goodness, this is just so hard to watch!”
She covered her face with her hands, not knowing what to do next.
Would Veronica get off the runway later and kill her?!
Another anxious person was Ivana, who was beside Veronica. Seeing that the atmosphere was so
pleasant, an idea emerged from her mind.
He then leaned into Veronica’s ear and whispered, “This is a great opportunity to promote Julius Atelier.
The atmosphere is perfect right now, and you’ve become the MVP of the whole show. Will you play along
with the flow, Veronica? I’m willing to pay you an extra 15 thousand!”
If one asked what kind of market it was now, it could only be said that the competition was incredibly
cruel. A simple model showcase could no longer achieve the same results as it did before.
It was necessary to add some copywriting so that the jewelry could be plated with a layer of ‘love’ in
order to make everything more meaningful and double the sales.
Therefore, Ivana immediately thought of asking Veronica to agree to what the host said.
In response, Veronica turned her head to look at Ivana beside her with a hint of coldness in her gaze.
With just one look, Ivana felt the powerful aura exuding from her body and shuddered.
On second thought, however, such a good marketing opportunity coupled with a live broadcast would
undoubtedly double the sales when it was broadcasted. Anyhow, it was an excellent and brilliant
opportunity.
Therefore, he bit the bullet and whispered to Veronica, “30… 30 thousand is fine too.”
30 thousand?
That amount made Veronica’s heart waver.
For a child born in a low-income family like her, 30 thousand was an amount that her adoptive parents
could not even afford to earn for many years.
Veronica hesitated for a moment, but eventually, her vision darkened, and she fainted.
She fell on the runway with a bang, shocking everyone.
“Why did she faint?”
“Is it because of her knee injury?”
“She doesn’t look so good.”
“Who knows?”
…
The crowd turned clamorous.
When Matthew saw Veronica fall, he lunged onto the runway with one big stride, walked up to Veronica,
and embraced her, calling, “Roni? Wake up!”
Matthew shouted her name, but she lay in his arms without responding.
Veronica, who fainted and fell, grazed her knee on the ground again, so it started to bleed this time.
Seeing that, Matthew frowned and quickly carried her away.
Under the stage, Hendrey watched the whole scene. His warm and flawless face was painted with an
incomprehensible expression.
He then quickly left the scene and followed Matthew.
After leaving the jewelry exhibition, Veronica was sent to the emergency room of the hospital. She was
pushed out in a flatbed after a while and sent to the ward to get IV drips.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Doctor, what’s wrong with Roni?”
Matthew was worried that Veronica fainted because of some complications caused by a strange thing
entering her body last time in the underground chamber.
The doctor waved his hand in dismissal, reassuring him, “It’s not a big deal. The patient has low blood
sugar, so just pay attention to that.”
Veronica, who was lying on the bed in the ward, opened her eyes and pouted when she overheard the
conversation at the door.
Damn it! It was such an awkward scene earlier. Fortunately, she was clever enough to think of this idea!
Otherwise, she could not imagine how bad the misunderstandings would be if she had admitted that it
was a live confession to Hendrey.
How did a normal catwalk suddenly become a confession?!
Squeak—
The door of the ward sounded when it was opened, so Veronica immediately closed her eyes and
pretended to be unconscious.
“Hello, Mr. Kings. I would like to see Veron.”
At this moment, a warm voice sounded.
This familiar voice had been lingering in Veronica’s mind countless times. Even after years, she still had
not forgotten it.
Now that his voice had sounded once again, Veronica could not help but feel her thumping heart
accelerating uncontrollably as she clenched her hands nervously.
Hendrey Johnson?
Hendrey Johnson!
After five years of absence, she thought she would never meet him again, but he returned without any
news.
“Roni isn’t feeling well. Why don’t you visit next time?”
Matthew put his hands in the pockets of his trousers and stared coldly at Hendrey, who was a few
centimeters shorter than him, with a hint of fleeting hostility in his eyes.
Although he had seen photos of Hendrey yesterday, he had to admit that Hendry was pretty handsome
himself.
“What’s your relationship with Veron?” Hendrey inquired out of curiosity, and his attitude toward Matthew
was neither humble nor arrogant.
