Chapter 668 Here Comes Veronica (31)
After confirming that the amount of money was correct, Veronica angrily turned around and drew Stella out of the dining room.
Stella glared at Edwin before leaving.
Edwin felt wronged.
Edwin helplessly looked at Raymond, who was sitting opposite him.
He then pushed the money back to Raymond.
"Raymond, you've asked for this money. You should take it and return it to Ms. Luke!" The money was like a hot potato, and Edwin could not take it.
Raymond stood up and said, "They gave you the accommodation fee for last night. Naturally, you are the one to take it."
"But I've never asked for money." Edwin looked at Raymond with a strange expression. He added, "Raymond, what's wrong with you today? You've never deliberately targeted a girl like this in the past. Why are you so crazy today? Are you deliberately against her?"
"Am I?" Raymond frowned.
Edwin nodded.
"Of course," Edwin began to explain, "and I know that you wanted the two young girls to stay for breakfast. However, the request you made was too much. Even if it was me, I wouldn't be able to sit here and eat after hearing what you said."
Raymond frowned deeply. He had not expected that Edwin would discover his thoughts.
Raymond originally thought that Veronica was then addicted to money. Seeing that she did not eat last night, Raymond had wanted her to stay for breakfast in the morning, so Raymond deliberately provoked her with the matter of money.
Unexpectedly, it was too much for her and annoyed her. Therefore, Raymond did a bad thing out of goodwill.
Edwin saw Raymond being silent and hurriedly urged Raymond, "If you regret it, it's still not too late. Ms. Luke hasn't gone far yet. Go and explain to her."
"Explain what? Besides, I am her employer and she is my servant. What do I need to explain to her?"
Edwin didn't know what to say then.
He felt that Raymond's EQ was a little low.
Since Raymond liked Veronica a little, of course, he could not offend her. However, Raymond had just provoked her and even said those offensive words. In the future, could Veronica accept Raymond? Edwin was afraid that Raymond had to go a long way to pursue Veronica in the future.
Raymond stood up irritably and left the restaurant.
Seeing that Raymond was about to leave, Edwin hurriedly called, "Hey, you haven't eaten breakfast yet. Where are you going?"
"Go home!"
"Go home? Raymond, take this money with you."
"That is for you. Take it yourself!"
Raymond left without looking back.
Looking at Raymond's back, Edwin blinked.
After a while, Edwin looked at the 2 thousand on the table and thought, 'It seems like a waste if I don't accept the money.'
Edwin reached out and wanted to take the money. Before he could touch the money, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him. Raymond, who had already walked out, had returned at some point. After seeing that Edwin was about to touch the money, Raymond glared at him fiercely.
"You have the nerve to take this money?"
Edwin was speechless.
What happened? Wasn't Raymond the one who asked Edwin to take it just now? Now Raymond reprimanded Edwin.
Then, Edwin watched helplessly as Raymond took away the money in front of him.
After taking the money, Raymond turned and left without saying a word.
After feeling pitiful for a while, Edwin stared at Raymond's back with a smile.
Edwin thought, 'If Raymond had known that would happen, why would he have done it back then?
Veronica didn't seem to be easy to coax. The relationship between her and Raymond became really bad then. Even if Raymond wanted to redeem it in the future, it would be difficult.
That was good, anyway. If Raymond hadn't settled his marriage, Bryson, George, and I would be able to be carefree for a few more years. If Raymond found a girlfriend, my mother would probably urge me and my brother soon.'Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Thinking of that, Edwin was looking forward to seeing Edwin and Veronica continue to go against each other.
On the other side, Veronica and Stella had just reached the gate when they saw a man standing outside the manor.
Stella ran forward happily when she saw the person from afar.
"Stephen!" Stella called Stephen's name and threw herself into Stephen's arms.
Veronica smiled as she watched Stella and Stephen embrace each other. Suddenly, Veronica felt that something was wrong, and Stephen's expression was not right.
However, Stella did not notice anything wrong with Stephen.
"Stephen, why are you here? Did you find this place because you saw the message I sent you?"
At that moment, Stephen pushed Stella away.
Stella was stunned for a moment because Stephen suddenly pushed her away.
"Stephen, what's wrong?"
Stephen looked at Stella coldly and said, "You asked me?"
Stella was confused. She asked, "But, I don't know what you want to say."
Stephen's face was filled with disgust. He said, "You sent me a text last night saying that someone drugged you, didn't you?"
Stella nodded, saying, "Yes."
"And you sent me a text this morning, saying that the drug's effect had disappeared."
"Yes, so now I..." Stella stretched out her hand to grab Stephen's hand.
Stephen dodged Stella's hand impatiently and said, "Don't touch me."
Stella was a little stunned by Stephen's attitude. She didn't know why Stephen suddenly disliked her approach.
She looked at Stephen cautiously and said, "Stephen, tell me, what happened to you?"
Stephen suddenly shouted angrily at Stella, "You still dare to ask me what happened? Last night, you told me that you were drugged. Today, you told me that the drug's effect had disappeared. How else can you get rid of that kind of drug except for having sex with a man? And you appeared here this morning. You slut!"
Stephen's rebuke was like a slap to Stella's face.
She could not even believe that Stephen would say such a thing in front of her.
And he even scolded her as a slut.
How could Veronica bear such words? When she heard Stella being scolded, she rushed to Stephen. Without saying anything, Veronica raised her hand and gave Stephen a hard slap, causing Stephen to immediately turn away.
"You bastard!" Veronica scolded angrily. "Do you know what Stella experienced last night? You actually ran over to scold Stella at this time. What right do you have to scold Stella?"
Stephen's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if she had no choice but to have sex with another man last night, she is not clean anymore. I was with her because she was pure. But she's so useless that even her body is not clean now."
