Chapter 3 Just the thought of having to live under the same roof as Veronica , the bumpkin in Chloe's eyes , made Chloe feel disgusted . Especially when she thought about how Veronica might one day share in the Weston family fortune , Chloe felt a burning desire to send Veronica back to the village right then and there . Linda's expression turned slightly stern as she glanced around at the servants with their heads bowed , her tone sharp . " Chloe , I've told you before . Don't be so rude . Chloe pouted . " Mom ? " " Chloe , Mom's doing this for your own good ," a syrupy voice interrupted , and a girl , looking about the same age as Chloe and bearing a striking resemblance to her , walked in from outside . It was Grace , Chloe's full - blooded younger sister . " Mom , I'm home , Grace said as she walked up and kissed Linda on the check Chloe snorted , " Such a show - off . Grace didn't respond . Shooting a sharp look at Chloe , Linda said , " Grace , why are you back so early ? Have you had breakfast ? Do you want to go upstairs and rest ? " Grace shook her head sweetly . " No , Mom . I'm not tired . I'll go upstairs , get changed , and go with you and Chloe to the hotel to pick up Veronica . Linda's two daughters were complete opposites . Chloe was more like David Weston , simple - minded and straightforward . Grace , on the other hand , had inherited Linda's cunning and calculating nature Though Grace and Chloe were only a year apart in age , Grace behaved with the maturity of someone much older than Chloe . But despite everything . Linda spoiled Chloe a bit more , and Grace kept her jealousy hidden deep inside , never letting it show . Far away at the hotel , Veronica had no idea what the Westons were scheming , and she didn't care to know . Veronica set the breakfast sent by the hotel staff in front of Raymond , then opened her suitcase and began pulling out packages of herbs , each neatly separated . These were the herbs she had brought from the village for her clients . She had already received deposits , and she needed to deliver them today . Raymond , sitting on the bed , gave Veronica a sidelong glance , clearly noticing her actions . " You're broke . What he said wasn't a question ; it was a statement , Veronica turned around , a bit confused , muttering , " What ? " She thought to herself , " What makes him think I'm broke Raymond elegantly picked up a water glass and took a sip , speaking slowly , " As a reward for saving me last night , you can make one request , " Veronica blinked , momentarily confused by why an injured guy like him would make such a statement to the person who saved him . She frowned , considering the possibility that Raymond's injury wasn't just to his waist but also to his head . Veronica quickly packed away her herbs , then remembered the goblets she had bought a few days ago at the market . She put them in her bag , stood up , and was about to leave . " Have you made up your mind ? " Raymond stopped her . Veronica furrowed her brows . Sure enough , saving people brings nothing but trouble , she thought . She looked up at his face , handsome despite the stern expression . still She then flashed a sweet and innocent smile . " Why don't you repay me with yourself ? " Raymond's expression shifted slightly , his gaze falling back on Veronica . Her eyes were clear , filled with amusement . He began , T. He then swallowed hard , but before he could say anything . Veronica waved and left . PP . Chapter 3 Her voice echoed from the door as she said , " Don't get the wrong idea . I only saved you because you reminded me of my dog . Bear . By the way , make sure to lock the door when you leave . " Veronica had barely stepped out of the hotel when Linda , with Chloe and Grace , entered the hotel lobby . Chloe , looking displeased . walked up to the front desk and demanded , " Call Veronica Weston and tell her to come the hell down . " Grace , following right behind Chloe , chimed in , " Chloe , don't be so rude ." Grace then flashed a sweet smile at the receptionists . " Ladies , could you please call our sister and ask her to come see us ? She checked in here last night without telling us , and our whole family is worried about her , Chloe shot a sidelong glance at Grace , feeling the urge to snap for Grace's pretentious words . Linda , who had been following behind them , nodded in satisfaction . She caught sight of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye , and immediately , a look of self - reproach appeared on her face . She muttered , " It's all my fault . I had meetings all day yesterday . I went to bed early last night and I couldn't open the door for Veronica in time . " That's why she ended up staying at the hotel . She must be pretty upset . I've failed your father ." Seeing that Linda was on the verge of tears , Grace quickly hugged her , comforting her . " Mom , this isn't your fault . Once we explain everything to Veronica , she'll understand . " Linda covered her face . " No matter what , it's still my fault . The figure in the corner , listening to Linda and Grace , turned and walked away . If Veronica had seen the performance from Linda and her two daughters , she would have clapped her hands and cheered them on . Unfortunately , Veronica was too busy to pay attention to them at the moment . On Cloudhaven's famous antique street , just behind the archway at the entrance , a client was earnestly trying to sell his stuff to the manager at a shop called Fortune Antiques . The man spoke with sincerity , " Sir , please take a look . This is an antique Baccarat crystal goblet . Look at the material , the color , and the pattern - this is truly a piece of antique Baccarat crystal . " It's a treasure passed down through my family for generations . If I weren't in urgent need of money , I would never dream of selling it Leonard Hastings , wearing reading glasses , held a magnifying glass and carefully examined the crystal goblet in front of him . It wasn't that Leonard was overly cautious ; the number of forgeries out there was overwhelming , and genuine antique Baccarat crystal goblets were extremely rare . He had to be fully alert to authenticate it If it turned out to be real , he would have made a great profit . But if it were fake , the situation wouldn't be solved with just a few thousand dollars " How much do you want for it ? " a sweet voice interrupted him . The young man , startled , instinctively responded , " The market price right now is much more than 700 thousand dollars . I'm in urgent need of money , so I'll sell it to you for a round number - only 700 thousand dollars . " Veronica laughed at the man's words . She walked over to Leonard , her hands behind her back , and glanced at the goblet in his hand . " Give me ten bucks , and I'll find you ten identical ones ," she smirked . The man's face fell in an instant . Staring at Veronica , he pressed his lips and then immediately shouted , " What do you mean by that ? " Veronica raised an eyebrow , smiling as she looked at him , " What do you think ? " The man , enraged , said , " Are y you saying my family's heirloom is fake ? " Veronica replied . " I don't know if your family's heirloom is fake , but this goblet ? A few days ago , I bought several for my dog , Bear , to drink from . Three bucks for three . " Upon hearing this , Leonard quickly set the goblet and magnifying glass down . He thought , ' How embarrassing . I've wasted so much time on a fake " P P Chapter 3 The man pointed a trembling finger at Veronica , clearly infuriated by her . " What do you , a clueless brat , know ? Have you ever seen an antique ? This is an antique Baccarat crystal goblet . There are less than thirty of them left in the entire world . " Veronica nodded with a sweet smile .
