Chapter 147
Her voice dropped lower but became more bitter and wounded as she revealed the personal pain driving her actions, “Because what Jeremy did to me with his lies and manipulation, the way he threatened me and humiliated me in front of people - I still cannot even raise my head properly among my circle of friends anymore.” Rebecca's face twisted with remembered shame and anger, “That bastard literally lied about me and destroyed my reputation, spreading rumors and making me look like a fool in front of my friends.”Her voice became more strained and emotional as she continued, almost trembling with suppressed rage, “The humiliation and shame has gotten so bad, it has risen all the way up to my neck and I feel like I am about to completely explode from all this bottled-up anger and frustration.”Immediately upon seeing Rebecca's emotional outburst and the way she was trembling with suppressed rage, that was when Dahlia's mother quickly stepped closer to her daughter and told her in a sooth
Chapter 146
Immediately upon hearing Madam Veronica's direct question about whether she had been cooperating fully with their previous discussion, that was when Dahlia's mother quickly nodded her head with obvious eagerness, saying with a voice that tried to sound completely compliant, “No problem at all, absolutely no problem whatsoever. I am completely willing to give you any information that you want from me, whatever details you need to make this arrangement work perfectly.”At that moment, Madam Veronica's voice came through the phone with a slight edge of impatience as she then said, “But you still have not properly answered my earlier question, the one I asked you before we got sidetracked by other matters.” Her tone became more pointed as she continued, “I specifically asked you whether you have told Dahlia about my interest in her, about my son's desire to meet her and potentially pursue a relationship. This is one of the most important questions that I asked you earlier in our conversa
Chapter 145
At that moment, hearing what Madame Veronica just said, Dahlia's mother felt her legs almost start shaking uncontrollably beneath her like someone standing on ground that had suddenly become unstable. Her body betrayed the panic that was building inside her chest as she tried desperately to process the question that had just been thrown at her.She wasn't expecting Madame Veronica to ask something like this, not this directly, not this soon, and the realization hit her like cold water that she was now trapped in a very dangerous situation of her own making.Her mind raced through all the possible answers she could give, weighing each one carefully while knowing that Madame Veronica had already made it crystal clear that she absolutely hated lies and could spot them from miles away, which meant that whatever answer came out of her mouth right now needed to sound as close to the truth as possible without actually being the complete truth.She knew deep down that she would need to tell m
Chapter 144
At that moment, upon hearing what Madame Veronica just said and knowing fully well that this woman was clearly the type of person who could smell deception from a thousand miles away, someone who gets easily irritated when people try to play games with her intelligence, Dahlia's mother realized that she didn't have any other choice left but to tell her the complete truth.She could see Rebecca from the corner of her eye, frantically blinking at her and shaking her head slightly, using every signal she could think of to tell her mother that she shouldn't admit anything, that she shouldn't agree to what Madame Veronica was saying, that there had to be another way around this without confessing the real situation.But Dahlia's mother knew better than Rebecca did about how dangerous it could be to continue lying to someone like Madame Veronica, someone who clearly had the power to either help them completely or destroy them without thinking twice about it.She understood that if she conti
Chapter 143
At that moment, hearing what Dahlia's mother just said, Madame Veronica's voice changed completely through the phone. The excitement that had been there seconds ago disappeared like smoke, and what replaced it was something much more serious and concerned.“Little obstacle?” Madame Veronica repeated, her tone sharp and demanding answers. “What kind of obstacle are we talking about here?”Dahlia's mother took a deep breath, knowing that what she was about to say needed to sound convincing, needed to sound like the truth even though she was weaving lies and half-truths together like a spider spinning its web.“Madame Veronica, I am very, very sorry for having to bring this to you,” she started, her voice dripping with apology and shame that she didn't actually feel. “It is so disgraceful for me to even be saying something like this, so embarrassing that I almost didn't want to call you at all.”She paused for effect, letting the weight of her words sink in before continuing.“But I re
Chapter 142
Without wasting another second, Dahlia's mother turned around and walked straight into her room with the kind of purpose that comes from someone who has finally decided to take action. Her footsteps were quick and determined as she made her way to her wooden wardrobe where she kept her handbag tucked away behind some folded clothes.She pulled out the small black leather bag and began searching through it with fingers that moved like someone looking for buried treasure. Papers, old receipts, some loose change, and then finally, her fingers touched the smooth surface of what she was looking for.“Aha!” she whispered to herself as she pulled out the crisp white business card that Madame Veronica had given to them during their first meeting.She walked back outside to where Rebecca was still sitting, holding the card up between her fingers like it was made of pure gold.“You see,” she said, her voice filled with satisfaction as she waved the card in the air, “thank goodness I still have
