The Life Of A Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Elizabeth had accepted Veronica as her god– daughter because she liked Veronica. However, Veronica refused to take advantage of Elizabeth‘s fond ness of her by being arrogant and complacent.

Hence, she returned the car key to Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, Tiffany, who took in the scene, was burning in jealousy.

She was aware that Elizabeth was fond of Veronica, but never expected that it would be up to this extent.

Just because Veronica had taken a cab to the Kings Residence, Elizabeth had not only reprimanded M atthew but even gifted her a sports car that had an exorbitant price tag.

At the mention of this, the Kings Family‘s status and influence then came to mind. As one of the largest families in their country, they had both the wealth and power, so a car that they purchased would never be one that cost less than 5 million! Although Tiffany didn‘t know what type of car Elizabeth had gifted V eronica, Tiffany reckoned that it must have cost at least 5 million!

Yet, such generosity was exclusively for Veronica, which made it impossible for Tiffany not to be jealous of her.

Nonetheless, no matter how envious or jealous Tiffany was, she had to feign a kind and gentle attitude while smiling tenderly. “Grandma, you sure treat Veronica well.”

“Of course she is my god– daughter. When I become older and unable to walk, I‘ll depend on her to take care of me.”

Elizabeth tucked a loose strand of grey hair behind her ear before she held Veronica‘s hands and amic ably asked, “Girl, you won‘t just leave me here alone when I become so old that I can‘t move around freely, will you?”

“Grandma, that‘s nonsense. You are still as healthy as a horse. Pfft! Don‘t spew nonsense.” Veronica pr etended to spit on the floor to ward off the ominous words that Elizabeth had just mentioned.

“Take the car keys. It will make it easier for you to come and visit me more in the future.” Elizabeth handed the car keys to Veroni ca again, but Veronica rejected her offer. “Grandma, please keep it. It‘s no use giving them to me since I can‘t drive. I‘ll

inform Matthew when I come and visit you in the future and have him take me here.”

“I see, you can‘t drive.” Elizabeth nodded. “Alright, then. Let that brat drive you here after this.” As she spoke, she tapped Veronica‘s head. “Why are you still calling him by his name, though?”

“Huh? What?” Veronica was stunned at Elizabeth‘s sudden question, unable to make sense of her wor ds.

However, the next instant, Elizabeth replied, “You are now my god– daughter, so that makes him your elder brother. I‘ll be upset if I hear you calling him by his name

again.”

Veronica let out a mischievous smile and playfully stuck out her tongue, looking adorable. “Okay, got it, got it.”

“You too.” Elizabeth glared at Matthew. “Do you hear me?”

The man, who was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, held a magazine in his hands when he heard her words. His attention seemed to be focused on the book, but the truth was that he had been paying attention to what the ladies said.

Upon hearing Elizabeth‘s question, he hummed in agreement, but a subtle curve appeared at the corne r of his lips.

However, in Tiffany‘s eyes, Veronica, Matthew and Elizabeth seemed like a family whereas she herself was an outsider who seemed out of place.

“Grandma, it‘s rather cool outside today. Let‘s go and enjoy the breeze, shall we?” Veronica suggested.

“Sure.” Elizabeth rose to her full height before holding Veronica by her hand and heading out together with her.

Tiffany had been treated as though she was invisible the whole time.

She had initially wanted to tag along, but she was worried that she might read the air wrong, so she thought that she might as well remain with Matthew to improve their relationship.

She watched as Veronica and Elizabeth left the room before she turned to him with a pitiful look that resembled a kid who had done something wrong. “Matthew, am I lacking in any way? G–Grandma seems to dislike me,” she muttered in a dejected manner.

Looking at Tiffany‘s face that bore almost the exact resemblance to Veronica, Mathew felt that her voic e sounded unpleasant to the ear and even her scent seemed to have offended him in some way.

He coldly replied, “You are being too sensitive.”

“I–I am just worried that I‘m not good enough in Grandma‘s eyes.”

“You are good enough.” Matthew focused his gaze on the magazine in his hands while ignoring Tiffany‘ s expression.

Tiffany tried hard to strike a conversation with Matthew, but his indifferent response made it difficult for her.

Soon, the dinner was served and the few of them sat around the table to have the meal together.

Veronica, who was well– aware of Elizabeth‘s love for shrimp, noticed the plate of greasyback shrimp on the table. Then, she sai d, “Grandma, give me a minute. I‘ll make you the sauce.” –

“Sure, I‘ll wait for you,” Elizabeth replied as Veronica rose up to head into the kitchen.

As Elizabeth had placed her utensils down, Tiffany and Matthew had to wait for Veronica as well.
