Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Veronica just came out from the cubicle and was washing her hands.

She took a quick break earlier because her personality couldn't bear the compliments thrown her way by the madams introduced to her by the Li madam.

The Li madam was very lively introducing her to almost everyone she knew while the Sy madam was elegantly seated in a corner, and just like an ice queen, sipping on her red wine unbothered by other people.

After straining her lips from having to smile every time she was being introduced to others due to social protocol, Veronica asked the Li madam for a call of nature break.

Her reverie was brought back at the present when she heard a clutter beside her. She took a quick glance at the woman just around the age of her future mother in law.

When her sight crossed with the woman, she nodded towards her out of respect.

However, she could sense the hostility coming from the said woman. This curious and at the same time made her on-guard.

"So you are Veronica Wang." The woman said in a rather tasteless manner.

Albeit the attitude of the woman, Veronica once again nodded her head. She had always been the type of person that would give respect to those people who deserve it and wouldn't bother herself to those who don't deserve her respect. However, since Vanessa brought her here to this fundraising event, she will try to be civil so as not to embarrass the Sy madam.

Seeing the unbothered attitude of the young woman in front of her, Allia Ming starts to get irritated. Since the arrival of Vanessa Sy, her whole existence has become like a joke in this event. And witnessing everyone who has to welcome that Vanessa warmly earlier, Allia Ming really took a lot of self-restraint to maintain a clear expression on her face because she is very much aware that there are other ladies who would love to see bad changes in her expression and give them something to talk and laugh about behind her back.

Since the unfortunate incidents that happened to her close friends' husbands, more and more ladies of the elites distanced themselves from her.

Feeling isolated, she resorted to wine. However, once again remembering that her son's position in Ming Corporation is in danger, Allia Ming is feeling even more angry and badly needed someone to vent her anger to.

She has been looking at the said daughter in law that Vanessa brought and despite her hatred, she couldn't deny the fact that the woman is indeed, very beautiful, look wise and figure wise. Surely the kind of woman who is only good at climbing and warming the bed of a man.

Those kids, if indeed true, were the son of that bastard, Rawlf is a big proof that that woman is only good at using her body. Allia Ming thought to herself. Without her realizing that her line of thought is the very detailed explanation of her own self.

"I'm Allia Ming", Allia Ming rather said in a haughty manner.

Veronica nodded her ears perked up because of recognition. After all, she had lived almost two decades of her life in City I before her family moved out of Country R.

Allia Ming, the most famous outside woman of the great Robert Sy. Not because she's very beautiful with her feline eyes, straight nose and thin moist lips despite her middle age but because the said known mistress came from one of the oldest clans in Province I.

Seeing the disinterest from the woman made Allia Ming seethe in extreme hatred. She wanted to vent her anger out then an idea sparks in her eyes.

Allia Ming changed her expression to a gracious lady of noble origin and as if looking down on Veronica asked,

"Aren't you the daughter of that esteemed Eduardo Wang? How is your father? Is he alright through the years? You know, it must be very hard on him. What happened that year is quite the talk of all people in this City. So is your father still..."

"Miss Ming," Veronica didn't let Allia Ming finish her words not because she's affected but because she doesn't want to waste her time listening to this childish taunting unexpectedly coming from a lady of an old, respected clan.

"You are an outsider to what happened that year. And I also believe since you're a lady of a respected family, your sources of information should have also told you that the case against my father was dismissed. I don't know why Miss Ming has so much time listening to unfounded and fake information. My father is doing well. He's healthy, thank you miss Ming for asking. If that is all, then I'll leave first, the Sy Madam must have been looking for me."

Veronica put emphasis on the Sy Madam which added salt to one of Allia Ming's undeniable wounds.

When Veronica reached the comfort room's exit, she turned her back and once again said,

"I heard that your son is doing great with the Ming Corporation. Congratulations Miss Ming for raising such a son."

Veronica's tone is just like talking about the weather but the insult is clear to Allia Ming's hearing.

There is no doubt that Ming Corporation's current predicament is terrible. And her son is being blamed for this!

Even her own family blames her son!

She was about to retort back when she heard the voice of her most hated person. "It took you so long. Let's go, I have someone to introduce to you." Veronica saw her future mother in law and smiled in respect.

The Sy Madam only took a quick glance at the woman inside the comfort room as if the woman was unknown and irrelevant to her very existence.

It's the same woman who her own husband slept with and had a bastard son with. But for Vanessa, as long as the power and wealth of the Sy's is in her son, Rawlf, who is the only rightful and legitimate heir, then everything else is unnecessary.00000
