Veronica: CEO's Underworld Queen

'Are you sure you three graduated from the same discipline as me?'

Veronica's voice sound confused but for the trio, this is the same tone of mockery she used on them, years ago, on that day of their inititiaton.

Although the trio could feel the sudden jolt of nervousness, they braved their heart, confident that years passed and Veronica Wang no longer has the capability to trample on their pride and intelligence like she did when they were just freshmen.

'But of course senior Veronica!! We, like you hold the degree in Political Science!' Tina replied with pride. The two girls as well nodded their head with pride.

'You weren't around here since your family's DIS- APPEA- RANCE so of course you weren't updated.' Ally said, putting emphasis on the word disappearance to further implicate Veronica.

Veronica then made a sad expression and change her voice in a mellow one as if recalling a dark past with a heavy heart. Although somehow, she's not faking the rawness of her emotion.

'Aww, indeed, too bad. I was comatose then, from a car accident, rather, from a car chasing me to death, for almost a month and my father suffered from stroke and after almost five years, is still under rehabilatation (i). '

Several gasped was heard from the people around, what unfortunate chain of events a family could suffer! But the strongest was of Madame Sy but still tried her best to keep silent and let her daughter in law handle these stupid girls. She's Madame Sy and dealing with those stupid girls would be something out of her character. Well she can do better like, destroy those girls lives behind the scenes. An excited, evil glint appeared n madame Vanessa's eyes.

'Anyway, you heard among yourselves that my father's case was dismissed right? Can you still recall what that means?'

'Of course! It's, it's...' Carla stuttered. Well not because she couldn't recall what a dismissed case mean but because it would defeat the purpose of their prior scheme.

'A lawsuit closed with no finding of guilt and no conviction for the defendant in a criminal case by a court of law...so basically, my father is innocent,..... no?' Veronically enunciated each words.

'Well, ....well...yes.' Carla finally conceded seeing no way out. While the two other girls could only closed their fist from humiliation.

'Now, isn't it sad that some people still implicate my father for the disappearance of the Yans when he was, you know,.....paralyse because of the stroke? Or my mother who was a plain housewife.....or even me, in the middle of a comatose.'

Chuckles can be heard from the crowd and also Madame Vanessa couldn't help but snicker and felt guilty right after as Veronica was not talking about a fictitious comedy but her real life experienced years ago.

'Senior Veronica, that's rude. Don't put words on our mouth! We didn't say that your father or you were involved in the Yans-'

'We're you listening?' Veronica cut the Ally girl through a question with a tone usually used to a question 'Are you stupid?' This time, more snickerering from the young elites while the old ones were trying their best to hide the amus.e.m.e.nt in their eyes. 'I said some people, not you, you or you, after deducing the words that came from your mouth...Veronica each pointed to the girls all the while maintaning her casual, calm tone like she's just talking to children, then continued,

'Not unless, you just spouted some nonsensical things without even knowing the gravity of those words and the implications it will cause to the innocent ones. A piece of advice, as your college senior girls, next time, be mindful of your action and words. It's totally a shame for our alma mater and our program if you continue to act like....you haven't learned a thing after four years of schooling.'

Seeing as the girls seemed to have no more comebacks to give, Veronica sighed loudly, ( as if she's a forgiving senior).

'You girls can go now.' Veronica achieving to justify her father's dismissed case was happy and was in the mood to let the girls go. After all, they're too irrelevant for her to even think much of.

The trio, out shame and at least, some realization, just took their bags and instantly run out of the restaurant in embarrassment. While castigating Ally who was the mastermind of their failed scheme while feeling ashamed of their own stupidity.

On the other hand, Julie was still hiding herself from the corner. Well, she actually thought of doing the same thing the girls did, but thankfully, when she was in the comfort room and had time to let all her frustration out, her thinking becomes clear and realized that it will put her in a compromising situation. So she decided to stay a little longer in the comfort room to hopefully add more drama in her 'not feeling well and traumatized situation' thus will boost the concern from her friends and eventually, will make them feel the need to avenged her. Of course, her, the innocent, kind Julie isn't aware of this. And even won't appear to 'save' them as it would compromise her image to being friends with those stupid women. Well, if she is to went out later and there will be someone to point her of being friends with them, she'll just easily show her most innocent, and 'What happened' shocked face.

Well, she didn't maintained her sweet, innocent and kind fasçade all those years for nothing.

It's also a good thing that she came to a realization that trying to humiliate someone in the public scheme is not safe, stupid and would eventually backfire... so Julie Tan decided another approach. 'If you can't beat them, join them.'

An sharp looked appeared on her eyes after seeing her future mother in law held Veronica's hand as if consoling her. 'That bitch!!! Rawlf is mine! He's mine! Mine and mine alone!!' She thought in full delusion.
