Chapter 529 Sticking up for Yvonne
When Veronica looked at Yvonne and saw her empty expression, she couldn’t help but feel pained yet angry at the same time. She walked to Yvonne’s side and supported her. “If you don’t believe in the doctor’s words, we can take him to another hospital for a checkup. However, we have to let Conrad remain unconscious, or he’ll still get up to his tricks.”
“Yes, you’re right…” Yvonne nodded mechanically before looking up at Veronica a second later. Her eyes were damp and her tears clung to her eyelashes; she stubbornly refused to let them slide down. Her teary expression melted Veronica’s heart. In a trembling voice, Yvonne asked, “What about you? C-Can I believe you?”
Yvonne was not to blame for not believing her. After all, she did not know who to believe now. Ever since she found out that Conrad was hospitalized, to the time she found the insurance policy at his company, and after Matthew reminded her, she had gone to the hospital to look for the director who personally told her that Conrad had cancer.
As soon as Yvonne said that, her expression changed as if she suddenly thought of something. She immediately took out her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed a number. “I’ll send you an ID number. Help me find out if there is any insurance under this person’s name.”
More From The Web
After hanging up the phone, Yvonne immediately sent the ID number in her phone over. She had gotten this ID number the day she stayed the night at the hotel. When she lost the room card given to her by Conrad afterward, he was not there, so she had no choice but to ask him to send his ID number to her.
Once she copied the ID number and edited the message, she sent it to her right-hand man, before she took a weak step and flopped down on a bench in the hallway limply.
All this time, she had been obsessing over whether or not Conrad actually had cancer, but she had neglected the insurance policy contracts she had seen in his office. If those contracts were fake, the truth would be clear.
Veronica was annoyed by Yvonne’s questioning earlier, but once she thought of the things that Matthew said, she gathered her emotions and sat beside her to patiently calm her down. “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not, but you should believe the doctor’s words. Also, the truth can’t be hidden for long. As long as you want to find out Conrad’s true nature, there are many ways for you to do so.”
“I need some space.”
Yvonne leaned against the wall behind her and closed her eyes, falling silent.
Around ten minutes later, her phone rang, causing her to jolt violently before picking up. “How did it go?”
She couldn’t wait to know the result.
“President Spencer, I’ve looked into every insurance company, and Conrad hasn’t bought any insurance from any of them. However, he has a car insurance from Fedola Insurance.”
“Just a car insurance?”
“Yes.”
As the time grew late, the nightclub became more and more crowded. From time to time, a few guys came to strike up a conversation with Yvonne, but she did not even spare them a glance.
Finally, a fat man went up to speak to her, but when he didn’t get a response, he cursed, “Why are you still acting high and mighty at a place like a nightclub? Tch.”
Splash!
Suddenly, Yvonne threw a glass of spirits at the fat man in the suit and glared at him, cursing, “F*ck off. You’re calling me high and mighty just because I ignored you? The way you can’t control your weight shows how capable you are.”
Saying that, she gave him a kick.
Yvonne’s voice was so loud that Veronica, who was sitting at the side, could hear it clearly. She couldn’t help but be surprised as she rarely heard Yvonne cursing. After all, Yvonne was from a wealthy family, and would not be as ‘foul-mouthed’ as she was. From the looks of it, she must’ve been so emotional because she was hurt by Conrad, and the fat man’s words had hit her sore spot, causing her to blow up.
However, Yvonne could barely land a punch, so how would she be the fat man’s opponent?
The man stumbled from her kick and immediately smashed his glass to the ground before he stepped forward and grabbed Yvonne’s hair. “Damn it, how dare you shout at me? Do you have a death wish?”
The fat man raised his hand and was about to slap Yvonne in the face when his wrist was grabbed by someone else.
“Psst!” Veronica whistled at him seductively. “What’s the point of bullying a weak woman? Why don’t I play with you instead?”
Yvonne was her friend, so she would cover for her. After all, she was already in a bad mood, and whoever was looking for a fight at this time was just giving themselves up. Now that a good opportunity to vent her anger was here, Veronica would not let it go.
“Oh, looks like we have a stunner here.” The fat man looked at Veronica, only to see her dressed in sportswear with her hair tied in a simple high ponytail, looking innocent yet provocative.
“How would you like to play?” He grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
