Chapter 11
Linda’s expression softened slightly. But just as she was about to feel relieved, she heard Veronica say, “Not just an issue. I’ve got a problem with everything about you.”
Linda was speechless. But Veronica just yawned and turned around, muttering, T’m so tired. Where’s my room? Veronica folded her hands behind her head and started walking upstairs
“Stop right there. Where are you going? Your room is on the first floor. What are you doing trying to go upstairs?” Chloe shouted.
She had been held back by Linda before and wasn’t allowed to speak. Now that Chloe finally had the chance, she jumped out just as Veronica was about to go upstairs, blocking her path
Veronica stopped and looked back at Linda.
Linda was sharp. Though Veronica had just mocked her, she had already regained her composure, smiling. “Ranie, there really aren’t any other rooms on the second floor. Could you put up with staying on the first floor for a while?”
Veronica raised her brows. The storage room?
Chloe blurted out, “You should be glad there’s even a storage room for you to stay in.”
Linda forced a smile. “Don’t worry. There’s nothing stored in there. The servants already cleaned it out.
Veronica nodded. “So do I also need to wake up early every morning and prepare breakfast for all of you!”
Chloe sneered, “Who would dare eat your cooking?”
Linda responded, “Ronie, if you want to do nice things for me and your father, that would be—”
“Who the hell do you think you are?” Veronica cut her off, looking at Linda with a half–smile.
Linda was at a loss for words. She had already cursed Veronica countless times inwardly. But because of the image she usually kept up and Mason’s authority, she didn’t dare go too far with Veronica.
Linda thought, ‘But since Veronica has moved in, won’t she have to listen to me sooner or later?
Linda’s calculations were running wild, so much so that she didn’t hear Chloe calling out to her in time. By the time Linda reacted, she realized the music room on the second floor that belonged to her two daughters had been smashed to pieces.
Chloe stood to the side with her hair in disarray, wailing loudly.
Veronica clapped the dust off her hands, glanced with some disdain at the mess all over the room, and said, “Linda, since you didn’t have time to prepare a room for me, I had no choice but to prepare one myself.”
Linda rolled her eyes, furious. She thought, “That piano cost me a fortune. I bought it for my daughters, and now it’s been destroyed?”
Linda remarked, “Veronica, if you have a problem, take it out on me. Don’t go wrecking the things in this house. Your dad doesn’t bust hus back making money just so you can trash it,”
With just a few words, she made Veronica out to be someone who had no respect or care for her elders.
Fortunately, Veronica had no intention of caring about such so–called “elders“. To her, they weren’t elders at all.
Veronica ignored Linda’s words. She stepped onto the black–and–white piano keys, frowning as she considered how to arrange this room into a bedroom.
“I’m going to kill you, you bumpkin. I’ll kill you,” Chloe screamed.
Veronica snorted and shifted her body slightly to the side. Chloe lunged forward and, missing her target, crashed headfirst into the wall with a dull thud
Chloe burst into tears again, and Linda rushed over to comfort her. For a moment, the second floor
or was in complete chaos.
Downstairs, David had just walked into the house with a guest after being delayed, only to hear the sorrowful cries of his wife and daughter. He didn’t even bother entertaining the guest and instead stopped a maid to ask what had happened.
