Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes

The phrase 'Blood Money' used by Veronica when Tony tells her that her mother left the money for him. So Veronica thinks that Sarah is responsible for Adrian’s suicide that’s why she called money as Blood Money.
 b = s – v x/+ a1 or a2 + v + a1 X s = b?
Means b=baby, s=Sarah, a2=Tony, a1=Adrian, v=veronica so this equation tells about Tony’s relationship with Veronica, and her relation with Adrian. And Adrian’s relation with Sarah, because of their relation she becomes pregnant and b is for their baby. And another is Tony’s breakup with Veronica and then, her dating with Adrian. Then Adrian meets her mother and he has affair with Sarah. Because of this relation she becomes pregnant.
As in last days of Adrian he was with Sarah and she herself tell that he was happy in his last days, so he was not with Veronica but with Sarah. So diary is with her. So, she willed it to Tony. But Veronica already knows the thing she started to give hint to Tony.
May be Adrian has regret, because of his relation with her girlfriend’s mother. So he becomes mad and living with hidden identity. Many things are not clear in novel and here is a question that, just because of regret he commits suicide or anything else happened.
As Veronica has relation with Adrian and her mother had also relation with him. Because of these things we find she may suffer in the-community. As Sarah and Adrian has baby (which we know that when Adrian commits suicide Sarah was pregnant) he becomes step father of veronica.
The reason of Adrian suicide is not much clear, so we cannot find other possible reasons behind his death. May he feels guilty that’s why he commits suicide.
At to some extent we find in her character, she is manipulative, stubborn, haughty, sacrificial, and trustworthy.
Yes obviously, Tony Webster classifiable as Unreliable Narrator because he tells a story and he himself tell that I remember in no particular order. And also he says that memory which he has is may be imperfect. But which he knows he tells.
