George was in his office when he received yet another warning from the Castellanos. And right now, it was about how he handled his household.
George sighed as he finally confirmed the problem. It might be his daughter. It looks like he indulged his daughter and mother's idea too much.
With that, George called for Veronica in his office.
When Veronica arrived, she was met with the stern eyes of her father.
"Dad, what's wrong?" She asked tiredly. She still hasn't recovered from her and Damon's last meeting. She could hardly sleep at night.
George stared at his daughter.
"Veronica, have you been bothering George Castellano recently," He asked as he stared at her intensely.
Veronica stiffened and did not meet her father's eyes. "What do you mean, Dad." She said blindly.
George sighed again.
"Look, I know you like that man, but you can't force yourself on someone who doesn't like you back," George said directly.
Veronica's mouth hung open in shock. Her father did not just say that! George saw his daughter's expression but did not mind it.
"Don't give me that look," George stood up from his seat and went to his daughter.
"You're not the only one affected if you anger Damon Castellano. But our whole family. Remember that," He said seriously and looked closely at her daughter.
Veronica pursed her lips and clenched her fists.
"If you don't care about your dignity, don't drag your family down the gutter. Open your eyes while it is still early." He added in a warning voice.
Veronica could only look at her father angrily. She then turned her back on him and marched angrily out of his office.
If he thinks she would be afraid and back down that easily, then he's wrong. She was sure she could get Damon Castellano; she needed a little push. Soon, when she becomes Mrs. Castellano,n she wouldn't need to cater to this kind of family. No one could tell her what to do by then.
Veronica left with anger but with high confidence in herself.
George watched his daughter's back and sighed problematically. He needed to watch her closely. He can't let the company he worked so hard for be wasted just because of their young lady's impulse.
Veronica went back home and locked herself in her room. She planned not to talk to anyone in this family. When she was planning her subsequent actions, her phone rang for a call.
It was an unknown number. Veronica does not talk to strangers, so she ignores them. But then, a message came in from the same number.
If you want to get Damon Castellano, then answer the call.
Veronica was taken aback. How could the caller know this? And his message, he knows she would be interested.
Hmm. Let's see what this is about.
The next moment, her phone once again rang for a call. This time she answered it. “Hello, Ms. Ambrosia.” The voice of a man rang out.
"Who are you? How did you get my number?" Veronica asked brattily. The man on the other end chuckled.
"This is Andrei Davids." The man answered. Veronica immediately wrinkled her brows. As such a minor player in the industry, Veronica wouldn't have known such a man. But coincidently, he was the ex-husband of her worst nemesis, Anya.
Veronica sneered.
"Tch. Who are you to talk to me? I don't talk to lowly men." Veronica said disdainfully and was about to drop the call when the man spoke again.
"Do you want to get Damon Castellano?" Veronica stopped again but scoffed.
"I don't need help. Especially to the likes of you." She answered haughtily.
Andrei, on the other line, sneered at the woman's arrogance. He finally felt thankful he took something to use against her. He then mocked.
"Really? That's not what it looked like the other day at the Blanca." Andrei was smiling, but his eyes were cold.
Veronica froze. That was the restaurant where she and Damon met the other day.
"What do you know?" Veronica asked coldly. Huh. This man was much more brute than she thought.
"Nothing much. Just how the heiress of the Ambrosia begged almost on her knees to Damon Castellano but was ruthlessly thrown away," Andrei said with a harsh voice.
Shit. Veronica cursed. No, this guy is just bluffing. She appeased herself. "You're lying." She answered with gritted teeth.
"Do you want a video as proof? You know, Ms. Ambrosia, you don't need to doubt my intention because I want to get that man away from my wife. She was also mentioned yesterday. Why did you think I would call you?" Andrei added mockingly.
"Don't worry; no one wants to waste energy fooling a clueless woman like you. I am up for a good deal." Andrei said while twirling the glass of whiskey in his hand.
Veronica was angered to death by this man's impetuous words! How dare he insult her!
"Listen to me first. I want you to get Damon Castellano; my wife would be mine again. Isn't it a win-win situation for both of us?" Andrei explained.
Although Veronica looked down at Andrei and was even angry at him for his words, she couldn't help but be drawn to his words.
"What are you planning?" She finally asked in a cold voice. Andrei, on the other line, smirked.
"Simple. Let's work together and plan to drive them away from each other." He said.
Veronica pondered over this. Now that her father was trying to stop her from aiming at Damon, she lost support. So she indeed needed this offer. The offer was enticing, and that is why she finally consented.
"What's your plan then." She asked.
"First, let's set Anya up. Something that would make Damon Castellano hate her that he would not even think about being with her." Andrei planned ruthlessly.
When she heard this, Veronica liked the idea very much but also mocked the extent of Andrei's vileness.
"Ha! Would you go as far as tarnishing your wife? Well, I don't care about you, though. But this plan works for me. I like it." Veronica said laughingly as her eyes glinted with malice.
"What about it? When Anya feels the pain of being thrown away by Damon, she has nowhere else to go but to me. At that time, it would only be me who would save and help her. I would become her world once again." Andrei daydreamed as his eyes had anticipation and scheme in them.
A smile formed on the lips of the two people, with different thoughts in their heads. But they both have the same evil smile.
"If that's the case, then it's a deal."
And with that, a secret alliance began.
