Chapter 697 Here Comes Veronica (60)
A large drop of sweat appeared on Justin's forehead.
"Veronica, listen to me!" Then, Justin thought, 'I haven't told Veronica my feelings yet. How should I face Veronica in the future after Mom said so?'
Justin was mad at his mother for ridiculing Veronica in this way.
Veronica looked at Serena calmly.
"Mrs. Bernard, please apologize to me!"
"What did you say? Apologize? Do you want me to apologize?" Serena snorted with obvious contempt in her eyes. "Didn't you admit that you were an orphan? Did I mishear?" Veronica said, "It is true that my parents are divorced and that I live alone. However, both my parents are still alive, so I am not an orphan. Therefore, please apologize to me." Serena considered this speech a joke.
"Veronica, given your attitude now, never will I accept you to be my daughter-in-law."
Justin looked at Veronica with sweat all over his forehead. Justin wished that Veronica and his mother would stop the fight now.
"Veronica, Mom, please stop."
Veronica straightened her back and looked at Serena fearlessly. "Mrs. Bernard, let me make one thing clear now. Never have I thought of being your daughter-in-law. I won't be with your son." Serena snorted. "If so, why did my son refuse the marriage I arranged for him? He said that he would marry you in the future. He wouldn't do so without your seduction."
Veronica took a deep breath and then looked at Justin.
"Justin, I think you owe me an explanation."
Instantly, Serena stepped forward to protect Justin.
"What explanation? I have seen through your trick. You intend to shift the blame on my son. I won't allow you to do so," Serena spoke with sarcasm. "What a vixen you are! My son has been good. I didn't expect that he would be enchanted by you. I will cut you off from my son even if I have to risk my life."
Serena looked Veronica up and down again and then sneered, "You are alone. Who knows how licentious you are?"
This was personal abuse.
Both Veronica and Justin looked bad.
"Mom, how could you say that?" Justin defended Veronica angrily.
"Why couldn't I? Look at you! You talk back for her sake now!" Serena was furious.
"Mom, you..."
Right then, a clear male voice came from behind.
"What are you arguing about here?"
The group in the argument heard this question, looked at the speaker at the same time, and then saw Raymond standing behind Veronica.
The Bernard couple knew Raymond, and Antoine's eyes instantly lit up.
"Mr. Cordova, I am the chairman of the Bernard Medicine!" Speaking, Antoine handed a business card to Raymond. "What a good surprise to meet you here! What a coincidence."
Raymond took the business card from Antoine. With the business card in one hand, Raymond stretched the other one, passed Veronica's neck, and landed it on Veronica's shoulder.
Veronica subconsciously moved to dodge this embrace. However, Raymond was strong, so Veronica failed to get rid of his hand.
"What are you doing?" Veronica whispered to Raymond in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Raymond tilted his head toward Veronica and whispered, "Be good and cooperative. I will help you vent your anger."
Veronica was speechless.
Justin couldn't help narrowing his eyes when Raymond held Veronica by the shoulder.
'Why Veronica and Raymond...' Justin wondered.
Raymond held Veronica while looking at the business card in his hand.
"Mr. Bernard!" Raymond said indifferently. "What a coincidence. Veronica, how did you get acquainted with Mr. Bernard and his family?" Veronica was speechless.
When Raymond put his hand on Veronica's shoulder, both Antoine and Serena changed their expressions.
Antoine looked at Raymond with embarrassment. "May I ask what your relationship with Ms. Luke is?"
When Antoine asked this question, Serena looked at Veronica with disdain.
Serena thought, 'Given their intimacy, Veronica, an orphan, must have seduced Raymond and worked as his mistress.
What a slut!'
Raymond smiled as he tightened his grip on Veronica's shoulder. "What? Isn't this obvious? Veronica is my girlfriend." This speech astonished the others on the spot, including Veronica.
Veronica stared at Raymond with wide-open eyes.
'What is he talking about? When did I become his girlfriend?' Veronica wondered.
Raymond turned around and winked at Veronica. Veronica immediately got the hint and thought, 'He tries to help.
Raymond's girlfriend won't seduce a man who is inferior to her boyfriend.'
Justin was stunned.
Both Antoine and Serena were in astonishment.
They had considered Veronica as Raymond's date or partner, but Raymond called Veronica his girlfriend. This introduction changed everything. Serena asked in surprise, "What? Mr. Cordova, is this woman, no, Ms. Luke your girlfriend? Are you ...
serious?"
Raymond sneered and gazed at Serena with a domineering aura. "Mrs. Bernard, do you mean that I can't recognize my girlfriend?"
Under pressure, Serena trembled and then shook her head. "Of ... of course not."
Raymond did not let go of Serena and went on, "I heard you accuse my girlfriend of seducing someone."NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
