Chapter 705 Here Comes Veronica (68)
Zoey looked at Veronica angrily.
"Mom, this woman is obviously approaching you on purpose. How can you talk to her?"
Hearing Zoey slander Veronica, Winy frowned slightly.
"Zoey, what are you talking about? Veronica is a good girl!" Winy spoke for Veronica.
Winy argued for Veronica, which further angered Zoey.
"Mom, you just met her a second time. But you defend her like this!"
Veronica could feel Zoey's hostility towards her. Zoey didn't want Winy to talk to Veronica and did not want Winy to know Veronica.
"Zoey, Mrs. Comte and I just ran into each other. So, we only greeted. I didn't have any intentions. You are mistaken about me."
Zoey looked at Veronica coldly and sneered. "Really? Then why did my mom just see you yesterday and you happened to appear here today?" Veronica replied, "I am also a student at this school. Shouldn't I appear here?"
Zoey did not know what to say.
She almost forgot that Veronica was also a student at this school. It was the time for students to leave school. So, it was normal for Veronica to be here. Why was it so coincidental?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Zoey felt.
Winy echoed, "Yes, I ran into Veronica. Veronica didn't see me just now. I stopped her. It is not what you think."
Zoey was silent.
The explanation of Veronica and Winy only made Zoey feel worse.
She didn't expect that it was Winy who took the initiative to stop Veronica. It was indeed...
While Zoey was still angry, Veronica suddenly asked a question, which startled Zoey. "Zoey, have we met before?"
"What? How could we have met before?" Zoey said fiercely.
Veronica looked at Zoey thoughtfully. "But I feel like I've seen you before. In my memory, there was someone who looked very similar to you." Zoey's heart skipped a beat.
"You... you mean that I look very similar to someone. Who do you think I look like?"
Veronica said, "Jana, her name is Jana."
Zoey suddenly widened her eyes.
Veronica actually remembered! What else did she remember?
A terrified expression appeared on Zoey's face.
"You got the wrong person. I am not Jana."
Winy subconsciously said beside Zoey, "Hey, Zoey, when you were in the orphanage, I remember you had a good friend called Jana, right?" Zoey answered in panic, "No, Mom, you remembered wrong. I didn't have any good friends called Jana. You remembered wrong!" Winy frowned. "Is that so?"
"Yes, Mom." Zoey took Winy to the roadside. "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to go home for dinner. Let's go!"
Winy looked in the direction of Veronica with concern. "Wait! I haven't said goodbye to Veronica."
Winy turned around and waved at Veronica. "Veronica, I will go home first. We will meet again in the future. Goodbye!"
Veronica smiled at her. "Goodbye, Mrs. Comte!"
After that, Winy followed Zoey away.
Veronica looked suspiciously in the direction they left. The conversation between Winy and Zoey just now made her a little confused.
For some reason, she felt that she knew Zoey, and Zoey was Jana she once knew.
Jana...
Veronica stroked her forehead. She tried to think of more information but failed.
She left school and was about to take a bus. Soon, a car stopped beside her.
When Veronica saw the familiar car, she tilted her head and saw the familiar figure in the driver's seat.
Raymond only raised his chin at Veronica and did not speak. Veronica knew what he meant.
She did not want to get in the car. However, she was afraid that Raymond's car would be too conspicuous and make more people notice her if it always followed her. So, Veronica could only open the car door and quickly get in. Before she got in the car, she looked around and confirmed that there was no one nearby, especially Shirley.
After getting in the car, Veronica urged Raymond, "Go!"
Her expression and tone made Raymond feel that Veronica was eager to keep away from him and was afraid that others knew that they were together. Raymond frowned, but he did not drive away immediately. Instead, he turned around and smiled at Veronica. "Fasten your seat belt first."
Veronica obediently fastened her seat belt and then urged again, "Alright, I'm done. Let's go now."
Only then did Raymond start the car and drive away.
After the car left the school, Veronica was finally relieved. They finally left!
Raymond looked at Veronica's relaxed expression.
"Are you so afraid that others will see me with you?"
Veronica smiled awkwardly. "No."
Raymond did not expose her and asked, "When did you meet Mrs. Comte?"This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mrs. Comte?" Veronica simply told Raymond about how she met Winy.
When Veronica said that she had saved Winy from the falling chandelier, Raymond was nervous.
His girl was too kind. She had never met Winy before, but she had risked her life to save Winy. What if something happened to Veronica while she saved Winy? "It is too dangerous. Don't do such dangerous things again!"
Veronica argued, "But it was so dangerous at that time. If I hadn't saved Winy, she would have been hit by the chandelier and her life might have been in danger." "You only think that others are dangerous. But what if the chandelier hits you when you save her?"
"How can that be?"
"It's always wise to play safe. In the future, if something like this happens, you have to take your safety the priority. Don't interfere if you can."
Veronica did know what to say.
Raymond was so overbearing and even taught her what to do.
Veronica muttered softly, "Why should I have to listen to you?"
"What did you say?" Her voice was too soft, and Raymond did not hear what she said.
Veronica said smilingly, "Nothing. I think what you said makes sense."
Raymond nodded in satisfaction. "I'm doing this for your own good."
Veronica quickly changed the topic. "By the way, Mr. Cordova, do you know Zoey, Mrs. Comte's daughter?"
Raymond nodded. "What's wrong?"
"Can you tell me something about her?"
"OK. She was kidnapped when she was two years old. Later, Mr. Comte and Mrs. Comte found her from the orphanage when she was five years old and brought her back."
