Chapter 696
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 696<\/p>\n
Gretchen looked the beautiful Veronica in the face and wanted to tear her smile apart.<\/p>\n
The others, who had watched Gretchen fall, suspected that Veronica had deliberately tripped over Gretchen. However, what Veronica had said pushed Gretchen under the spotlight again.<\/p>\n
Gretchen loved to trip over her colleagues, whom she had grudges against, to vent her anger. Therefore, the crowd couldn’t help thinking that Gretchen had used her old trick against Veronica.<\/p>\n
They thought, ‘Gretchen tripped over herself instead of Veronica this time.<\/p>\n
Serve her right.’<\/p>\n
Then, the crowd looked at Gretchen with disdain.<\/p>\n
Gretchen realized that she had messed with the wrong person.<\/p>\n
Gretchen thought, ‘I wanted to trip over Veronica but made a fool of myself in the end. How infuriating!<\/p>\n
I could have tripped over Veronica with that kick. My trick worked every time, so how did Veronica trip over me just now?<\/p>\n
She must have been lucky. Or, she deliberately counterattacked after spotting my leg.’<\/p>\n
Gretchen could prove nothing since she had no evidence. Now, she noticed the contempt in the eyes of her colleagues.<\/p>\n
‘Screw Veronica! She embarrassed me this time. I won’t spare her in the future.’ Gretchen thought.<\/p>\n
Gretchen pulled a long face to stand up.<\/p>\n
Gretchen grimaced after a slight move because she felt a sharp pain in her leg.<\/p>\n
‘Damn, I can’t stand up! Veronica gave me a hard kick.’ Gretchen thought.<\/p>\n
Gretchen felt that her leg had swollen from that kick. Veronica had deliberately kicked Gretchen toward a desk, so Gretchen was badly hurt.<\/p>\n
Gretchen glared at Veronica and then struggled to get up.<\/p>\n
After the others left for lunch, Gretchen gritted her teeth and looked at Veronica. “Veronica, you kicked me deliberately, didn’t you?”<\/p>\n
Noticing that they were alone in the office, Veronica smiled, looked Gretchen in the eyes, and said, “Yes!”<\/p>\n
Gretchen was speechless.<\/p>\n
‘I was right!’ Gretchen thought.<\/p>\n
Gretchen flared up. “Veronica, watch your back. Given this kick, I will not let you off easily.”<\/p>\n
This threat didn’t intimidate Veronica.<\/p>\n
Veronica sneered at Gretchen. “Gretchen, I respected you, but you set me up once and again. You won’t let me off easily, but I am a hard nut.”<\/p>\n
Gretchen burst out laughing. “Veronica, you challenged me! Great… Let’s see who will have the last laugh.”<\/p>\n
Veronica didn’t take this threat seriously and walked out of the office.<\/p>\n
Internal fights were common in big companies, so Veronica had gotten herself prepared. Veronica hated to cause trouble, but she wasn’t a pushover. Veronica would fight back if she was under attack.<\/p>\n
Willie, sitting in his office, saw what had happened outside.<\/p>\n
Willie thought, ‘I planned to speak up for Veronica if Gretchen bullied her.<\/p>\n
It seems unnecessary now since Veronica solved the problem herself.<\/p>\n
No wonder Raymond takes a fancy to her.’<\/p>\n
Serena squinted at Veronica and asked in a sharp voice, “Ms. Luke?”<\/p>\n
Veronica noticed the vigilance in Serena’s eyes and felt bad.<\/p>\n
Veronica said, “Yes.”<\/p>\n
Serena’s gaze became sharp.<\/p>\n
“What do your parents do?”<\/p>\n
Veronica answered honestly, “They divorced. I live alone now.”<\/p>\n
A contemptuous light appeared in Serena’s eyes. “In other words, you are on your own and have no family support.”<\/p>\n
“Yes!”<\/p>\n
Justin became sullen and immediately defended Veronica, “Mom, Veronica is on her own, but she is a straight-A student. Not long ago, she got an award in a competition on behalf of our department. Moreover…”<\/p>\n
Serena scolded Justin impatiently, “I’m talking to Ms. Luke. Why did you interrupt us? Did I ask you a question? Where are your manners?”<\/p>\n
Justin was speechless.<\/p>\n
Serena shifted her gaze to Veronica again. “Ms. Luke, I don’t know how you seduced my son. However, I won’t allow my son to marry an orphan like you. You had better give up your daydream as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
Instantly, both Veronica and Justin changed their expressions.<\/p>\n
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Justin said anxiously.<\/p>\n
Serena said harshly, “Ms. Luke, do you understand what I said?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4027","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/4027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
