Veronica left the place triumphant with a smirk on her lips. But she was still a bit indignant after she received a blow from one of those lowly women.
Her eyes glinted as she entered the car and immediately ordered the driver.
“To the Castellanos mansion.”
That woman dared to reject her good grace? Then I’ll make her situation and reputation more damaged.
The car headed it’s way and shortly after, they arrived at the Castellanos Mansion.
The moment Veronica came down from the car, she felt she had a different air. The last times she went here, was to anxiously curry favor to Amanda. But know, her feels are different. For her, soon, she will own this place.
She looked around the whole area satisfyingly and walked inside the mansion.
She was seen immediately by a servant, and her presence was directly announced. Not long, she was finally ushered inside.
“Veronica dear, what brings you here at this time?” Amanda asked quizzically at the unexpected arrival of Veronica.
Veronica greeted Amanda respectfully, and showed her drama face on. A worried expression came across her face.
“Auntie, I came here to talk about a certain matter. Have you not heard the news?” Veronica started as she approached Amanda.
“New?” Amanda asked again, completely clueless of what was happening.
Veronica glanced at the big flat screen television pasted at the grandeur wall. She turned to a maid and ordered.
“Turn the television on.”
The maid nearby stopped on her tracks when she was called. When she heard the order, she first looked at Amanda for permission.
Amanda was curious about Veronica’s intention so she nodded at the maid.
Veronica, on the sides, saw all these and was dissatisfied in her heart. she swallowed the bitterness and just thought about the future. Soon, it will be her who would be the mistress of this place. At that time, everyone will follow her orders and her whims.
She hid a smile and saw Amanda sitting on the soft sofa in front of the television. Veronica followed along and turned towards the big screen.
When the television was on, the news about the Prime Project immediately showed. It was a wide and big issue, that was why until now, it was still in the news. And right at this moment, Anya’s name was flashing on the screen. But it was not a good news. Because it was narrating how her, the owner of the studio who won the bidding of the Prime Project, leaked the confidential information of the cooperation.
Amanda wrinkled her brows as she saw this. “What..” She uttered as she was lost for words.
“Auntie, the woman Anya, had an affair with an employees of hers. But that wench was hooking up with Damon too, so that employee became angry and betrayed Anya as revenge!” Veronica deliberately twisted the happenings to create an awful story of Anya.
“What?!” Amanda angrily exclaimed. That woman dared?!
Veronica was cheering inside when she saw the anger on Amanda’s face. She wanted to fan the flames even more.
“Yes Aunt, it’s true! In fact, that woman is in a great debt right now that she closed her studio. Anya is very much in danger right now. She is rat poor with a ruined name.” Veronica added as she eyed Amanda growing anger with satisfaction in her eyes.
Amanda is indeed very furious right now. She didn’t expect she would have an affair with a lowly employee while dating her son!
Damon had defied his mother so many times, and even did a lot of things for that woman, but in the end, she just cheated at him?!
“How dare her!” Amanda angrily exclaimed while gritting her teeth. After all the things her son did for her, she did not have an ounce of gratefulness.
No, not only that. She doesn’t have the decency and morals of a woman! And she dreamed to be a Castellano’s wife? Last time she was just parading her face, announcing she loved Damon and that he would only be happy if he married for love.
But it turns out, she was all talk.
What a dirty and promiscuous woman! She had no class and bearing at all! She dared to dream about Damon Castellano, when she is nothing but a woman really born from the slums. She can’t let this kind of person hurt her son and disgrace her family!
Amanda was clenching her fists as she was fuming in anger.
And with this, Veronica felt very pleased of the situation. All of her plans were going very well. ‘Yes, hate her more.’
Veronica whispered in her heart.
Soon, I can finally get rid of that woman in her way.

Beyond the knowledge of the two women, upstairs, behind the stair grills, little Allen was hiding silently.
The people downstairs thought he was already asleep, but he snuck in when he heard Anya’s name silently and listened to the people’s conversation below.
The child’s little mind couldn’t understand all of the adults’ words. But he knew Anya’s name was mentioned, along with the words danger and poor.
Allen’s face was scrunch up as he felt these words were not good. Is Aunt Anya being bullied? He doesn’t want that, he doesn’t want Aunt Anya to be in danger!
If daddy was here, he won’t let this!
But Daddy is not home, how can he save Aunt Anya?
The little guy’s mind was turning for all these questions and wariness. He then decided to get up and run back to his room.
Allen closed the door and rushed to his bed. He took the techy watch he had that was bought by his daddy.
He was thought by Damon to use this watch in case his son needed to call or contact him. It was very easy for a child to manipulate, and Allen knows it until now.
He pressed his Daddy’s name for a call, but no one picked up. He did it again a few times. “Daddy, pick up.” His worried face pouted as he waited for someone to accept the call, but in the end, he just heard a beeping sound.
The child sighed and opened the messaging app. Little Allen still was not good in spelling, so he chose a voice message.
His soft voice said to the speaker. “Daddy, go home. Save Aunt Anya.”
