Female Novel
The Life Of A Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 184
Chapter 184
With the aim of stabilizing the company and the Kings Family’s century-old business, Matthew oftenfound himself tied to a lot of things with very little freedom to decide.
Matthew’s archrival was his seventh uncle, the seventh eldest of the Kings Family, Conrad Kings.
Today was Matthew‘s wedding day, and Conrad had returned too.
The wedding would start at 11.00AM sharp. Veronica was busy running back and forth at the weddingvenue. Because her face had a strong resemblance to Tiffany‘s, she wore a black mask the whole timeto avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, guests and friends had filled up the grand hall. They were watching the dance performance on stage.
Veronica looked at her watch and saw it was already 10.30AM. Thus, she held the walkie–talkie andannounced, “It‘s 10.30AM. Emcee, please make the final preparation. Make sure that everything,”
Halfway through her sentence, Veronica suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder.
As soon asVeronica turned her head, she saw a man with a slicked back hairstyle and a short beard. He had pronounced facial features like the classic good looks of a model, especially with those pair of beautiful and mesmerizing azure eyes. With one glance, one could tell this man was biracial.
The man wore a gray suit with a black vest inside, topping his look with a necklace with a diamond–shaped Obsidian pendant around his neck.
“Are you Veronica?” the man asked ashe put his hands in the pockets of his pants and stared at Veronica with his azure eyes.
Upon hearing that, Veronica frowned slightly, feeling quite surprised.
I‘m wearing a mask, and I have never met this man who‘s currently standing in front of me before. Yet, he could recognize me at a glance.
“Mr. Conrad, is there something you need help with?” Veronica asked.
“Oh, you recognize me?”
“You’re Conrad Kings, the seventh eldest of the Kings Family. Although I have never met you, I haveheard much about you.”
If it was not because of the Kings Family, Veronica might not be able to recognize Conrad now.However, she had seen his photos before because Elizabeth constantly wanted to introduce
Conrad to her as her partner. And thus, she was no stranger to how he looked.
“Haha… I‘m honored to be remembered by such a beautiful lady like you.”
Conrad was born with a classical facial structure of a magazine–worthy model and a finely–tuned vocal chord. When he curled his lips into a smile, there was a slightly more irrepressible sinister charm added onto his handsome face.
Looking at Conrad, Veronica could not help but sigh. Are all male membersof the Kings Family this handsome? That is one strong gene pool!
However, in Veronica‘s opinion, unlike the slightly sinister–looking Conrad, Matthew‘s handsomeness was considerably decent looking. Conrad was handsome, b
ut he did not seem like someone with a good nature.
Out of courtesy, Veronica gently pulled her mask downand smiled. “Mr. Conrad, you‘re too kind. I wonder… Why are you looking for me?”
“Since you‘re the god–granddaughter of Old Mrs. Kings, just address me as Uncle Conrad,” Conrad said
Back then, Old Mr. Kings, Howard Kings, had an affair with a French woman when he was drunk and impregnated her. Later, that woman gave birth to Conrad. The age gap between Conrad and Matthew was only seven years, and thus that made Conrad the youngest among the elders.
Even though Veronica dared to be rash in front of Matthew, she did not dare to act recklessly in front of Conrad. So, she said politely, “Old Mrs. Kings was simply joking. You don‘t have to take it seriously, Mr. Conrad.”
As she spoke, Veronica looked at the time on her watch. “If there‘s nothing else, I‘ll get back to work.”
“Wait.”
Just as Veronica wasabout to leave, Conrad took something out of his pocket and handed it to her. “Here. It‘s a gift that Old Madam exhorted me repeatedly to prepare for you.”
“You mean Grandma?”
Since Conrad‘s mother was Howard‘s lover, he was somewhat discriminating against Elizabeth despite having a good relationship with her. Hence, just like everyone else, he addressed Elizabeth as OldMadam.
“Yes.” Conrad nodded.
Veronica looked at the thin and long blue velvet brocade box that Conrad handed over. The top of thebox had bronzing Chinese letters, and with just one look, Veronica knew the item in the box must beextremely valuable.
Refusing to accept such a valuable gift, Veronica shookher head. “Thank you, Mr. Conrad, for your kindness, but I can‘t accept this.” It‘s just too good to be true. Such kindness appeared out of thin air.

Veronica shook the walkie–talkie in her hand. “Sorry, Mr. Conrad. I still have work to do. Let‘s talk later.”
“Then, can you leave your number?”
“Uh…”
Seeing as she could not refuse such a reason, Veronica smiled helplessly. “Okay.”
After giving Conrad her phone number, Veronica left and dived deep into her work.
Meanwhile, in the Presidential Suite, Matthew stood in front of the French casement.Suddenly, Thomas walked in and went straight to his side. Then, he handed Matthew a document. “Young Master Matthew, this is the information that you wanted me to investigate.”
After returning from Cabot Town the other day, Matthew instructed Thomas to re–investigate everything about Veronica and the Larsons.
Upon receivingthe instruction, Thomas immediately sent someone to investigate everything in depth. He followed the clues until he discovered that the person who had rescued Matthewwas Veronica. Even so, he decided to hide the truth from Matthew after much hesitation.
After all, Thomas saw through Matthew‘s love for Veronica.
Besides the child conceived, the reason for Young MasterMatthew to be willing to wed Tiffany was because everyone in the Kings Family thought she was the one who had rescued Young Master Matthew. Hence, in order to fulfill his promise, Young MasterMatthew agreed to marry her. If the marriage was to be canceled now, then Veronica would definitely end up being the person hewould marry.Business is as fierce as a war. When there‘s love, there‘s weakness. I do notwish Young Master Matthew to be taken advantage of one day, so it‘s best I hide the truth from him.
However, just five minutes ago, someone’passed an item to Thomas. After watching the video‘s content on the thumb drive, Thomas wascompletely taken aback. Thus, he decided to take everything and pass it to Matthew.
“Matt is going to walk up the altar soon. What information is so important that he needs to see now?Thomas, can’t you read the situation?” asked Skyler, who was sitting on the sofadoing nothing. Then, he stood up quietly, turned toward them, and came over.
Skyler reached out his hand and wanted to take the document away from Thomas’ grip.However, Thomas clutched the portfolio tightly and refused to let go.
Matthew, who had watched everything going on with his eyes, frowned slightly. He raised his hand andtook the document. “Speak.”novelbin
“Uh…” Thomas glanced at Miguel, Caleb, and Skyler. The meaning behind his glance was obvious. Hewanted the three to leave the room.
The gaze in Matthew‘s eyes darkened slightly, and he gestured to the three guys with a look. At once,the three of them knew things were not as easy as they thought.
“F*ck! Why are you acting so mysterious?”
“Drew, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and come out!”
“We‘ll leave the room for you guys to talk and stand by the door for a while.”
Then, the three of them went out and closed the door behind them.
After ensuring all three of them had left, Matthew opened the document file and ordered, “Cut to the cha

When Matthew heard Thomas‘ words, his hand paused slightly, and he looked a little surprised. “Go on.

Listening to Thomas telling the truth with hesitation, Matthew fell into deep thought, doubting the authen
“Absolutely sure. I‘ve investigated Tiffany as well and found out that on the night of your car accident,she and her best friend went to the bar to get drunk. They drank until midnight.“
“Heh. Good work.”
Matthew clenched the document file in his hand tightly, and his sharp pupils suddenly burst out with achill.
