Chapter 12 " What ? " David got so worked up that he nearly bumped into the guest nearby . Alexander frowned in displeasure , thinking . The maid just mentioned Ms. Veronica Weston . Is she the other Weston heiress Grandpa wants me to marry ? Didn't she just come back from a poor village ? So why is she at home wrecking her own sister's music room instead of trying to get along with her family ? Is this out of spite and jealousy ? Hearing the crying from upstairs , Alexander was almost certain of his judgment . He snorted , " Mr. Weston , since there are issues in your household , I'll leave you to them . I'll take my leave . With that , he turned and walked away without looking back . " Wait , Alexander , David hurriedly said . He chased after Alexander . But when Alexander showed no sign of staying , David stopped and turned back , rushing upstairs . What followed was inevitably another round of chaos . But whether it was David , Linda , or Chloe , none of them gained the slightest advantage over Veronica Acting as if nothing had happened , Veronica came downstairs after driving the three of them into fury and told the maid to have someone clean up the music room and set it up as her bedroom . The maid , who had overheard the whole incident from downstairs , looked uneasy as she glanced upstairs . Veronica smiled , " Don't worry . Mr. Weston has already agreed . " Upstairs , David heard this and nearly fumed with rage . Yet aside from shouting and losing his temper , he had no way to stop her . Mason had already made it clear that if Veronica so much as went to him and said that David's family mistreated her , then David's family could forget about inheriting any portion of the estate . For the sake of money , David had no choice but to endure David told Linda about it . She had only been putting on a show of tears , and the moment she heard his words , not a single trace of grief remained her eyes flared with seething hatred . Linda thought , Why ? My daughters and Veronica are all heiresses of the Weston family . Why does Mason refuse to even acknowledge my daughters as his granddaughters , yet protect that bumpkin he's barely met ? Are my daughters not as good as that short - lived bitch Claudia's kid ! ' Linda was not convinced . Her eyes shifted as an idea came to her . David , listen to me , she said , rising on tiptoes to whisper a few words into David's car David's brows furrowed , his expression showing hesitation . But then he thought , That brat Veronica really is too cocky . " She needs to be knocked down a peg and humiliated , just so she remembers that in Cloudhaven it's our family that calls the shots and I'm the one in charge here ! Alexander left Weston Villa in a hurry and returned to the Harrington family's villa in Cloudhaven . As soon as he walked in , Stephen couldn't wait to ask , " Well ? Did you see Ronie ? " There was a gleam in Stephen's eyes , and his tone was full of admiration when he spoke of Veronica . Alexander's mood was the complete opposite . He sat down heavily , gulped a mouthful of water , and finally said , " I didn't see the brilliant and remarkable girl you mentioned . But I did see a vile , vicious bumpkin who bullies her stepmother and sister ." Stephen was stunned . He thought , " Are we really talking about the same person ? " At the same time , Veronica sneezed . She didn't pay any attention to it , instead focusing on waiting for the bus at the bus stop . She'd just received a call from Colton , who told her there would be a welcome party for her tonight at Weston Manor , and that he would come pick her up . She had come to the bus stop now to go out and get a dress . 14 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
