Chapter 4 Veronica's eyes sparkled like stars . Those eyes , so beautiful and without any hint of aggression , made the young man freeze . Despite having so many words on the tip of his tongue , he couldn't bring himself to speak . " Y - You ... " the man stuttered , unable to say anything else . In the end , he could only grab his fake antique and run off in embarrassment . Leonard turned to Veronica . looking at her in awe . " Ms. Weston , you've got an incredible eye ." Veronica was the true owner of this famous antique shop . She smiled , reaching into her bag . Then she pulled out a stack of goblets wrapped carelessly in newspaper. Leonard's eyes lit up . Every item Veronica had ever brought here was always worth a fortune . He eagerly took the package wrapped in newspaper and opened it . Inside were three familiar crystal goblets - exactly like the antique Baccarat crystal goblets the man had just mentioned Leonard looked at Veronica as she said , " These are antique Baccarat crystal goblets , I bought three ." The man who had left with the fake goblet would never have imagined that Veronica had the real deal in her hands - and not just one , but three of them . Leonard came back to his senses , his eyes squinting behind his reading glasses as he grinned , clutching the three goblets like precious treasures . " I'm putting these right where everyone will see them . " But then Leonard paused midway and turned back . " Mr. Weston , I got so thrilled that I forgot to make you coffee . " Veronica grabbed an apple from the table and took a bite . The sweet flavor was delightful . She shook her head , rejecting Leonard's offer . " Don't mind me . I'll be leaving soon . " At Weston Manor , Veronica's grandfather , Mason Weston , furrowed his brows as he listened to the report from the person sent to check on the hotel situation . His face , covered in wrinkles , showed his displeasure . Mason muttered , " That dummy David knew his daughter would go home yesterday , yet he still went on a business trip to the neighboring city . What is he trying to pull ? Does he think he's the only capable one in the company ? " He was furious at his second son's behavior , and the sound of his cane tapping against the floor tiles echoed in the room . " Dad , don't get too worked up . Didn't Simon Zane say that Linda went to pick up Honie with her two daughters today ? " Victor Weston , Mason's eldest son , tried to calm his father down . Mason's face hardened as he glared at Victor . " What do you know ? I never should've named him David . I should've just named him Dummy . I had high hopes for him , but he grew up to be a total dummy . " An out - of - place laugh broke the tension , and Mason shot a sharp look at Victor . Victor struggled to hold back his laughter . " Dad , don't glare at me . I wasn't the one laughing ." Mason snorted , " You were just about to laugh out loud ," Victor didn't know how to respond . Dad is so sharp - eyed . What should I do ? He read my mind just like that , he thought . " Dad , stop picking on Victor . He's too honest for his own good ." Colton Weston's voice rang out lazily as he walked in , laughing . The laugh that had just echoed in the room had come from him Colton was Mason's youngest son , only five years older than Victor . He was Cloudhaven's famous bachelor . He hadn't joined the family business but instead opened his own sports car club , spending most of his time on sports cars and living a carefree , laid - back life youngest son , who was always causing trouble . " You have the nerve to laugh ? What have Mason's head throbbed the moment he saw his yo you been doing all day ? " Your niece came back from the village yesterday , and you didn't even bother to go see her ? You let her get pushed into staying at a hotel by Landa ? Is this how an uncle should behave ? " Colton answered . " Dad , I'm sorry . " Admitting his mistakes was one of Colion's strengths , especially when it came to Mason . Colton knew he needed to be brave enough to own up to his faults . 1/2 P Chapter 4 As Mason grunted , Colton grinned , " Since David and Linda want Ronie to stay at a hotel , let her stay there for a few days . What's the harm ? " Mason raised an eyebrow , suspicious , "What do you mean by that ?" Colton smirked , " Linda's known for being so capable . Don't you want to see who's tougher when she faces off against Ronie ? " Mason snapped , " Don't go causing trouble . Ronie is so sweet and innocent . How could she possibly stand up to that venomous wretchi " Hurry up and bring Ronie home . Since David doesn't care for his own daughter , let her come live here at Weston Manor and cut him off . " At Royale International Hotel , Chloe had been waiting for an entire day , her fury boiling over . If Grace hadn't been holding her arm tightly , and if Linda hadn't been constantly warning her with pointed looks , Chloe would have already started throwing a tantrum in the hotel lobby and cursing Veronica . Chloe bellowed internally , " How could Veronica be so ungrateful ? We came all the way to the hotel to pick her up , and she's not even here ? Did she run off to fool around with some random guy ? Veronica , carrying dinner , walked into the hotel as the last rays of the setting sun lingered in the sky . She caught a glimpse of the people sitting on the sofas in the lobby but didn't even glance their way as she continued forward . At this moment , a guest was checking in at the front desk , and the busy staff didn't notice Veronica returning . As for Linda and her two daughters sitting on the sofas , they didn't recognize the girl in the plain tracksuit as Veronica . Before the Westons decided to bring Veronica back , Chloe and Grace had sent several of their own discarded outfits to Veronica . They claimed it was just for Veronica to wear temporarily until they could buy her new clothes when she arrived in Cloudhaven . So , both Chloe and Grace were certain Veronica would show up wearing the clothes they no longer wanted . After all , they both believed that the clothes they had discarded were items Veronica could never afford . They thought they were being incredibly generous . With their sense of superiority , Linda and her two daughters waited all day without seeing Veronica . Eventually , they were forced to leave the hotel in defeat . They returned to Weston Villa just as David came back from his business trip . The moment Chloe saw her father , she rushed over to him , eager to complain and list all of Veronica's ' crimes Linda stood by , pretending to stop Chloe from going too far , her tears welling up in false sympathy . Meanwhile , Grace did her best to appear sweet and innocent , gently comforting Linda David , already seen by Mason as foolish to begin with , was further swayed by the actions of his wife and two daughters . His dislike for the daughter he hadn't seen in eighteen years , a daughter who now seemed more like a stranger , grew even stronger . He wasn't in the mood to get some rest now . Grabbing his car keys , he hurriedly left the house and headed to the hotel . " David , wait for me , Linda called as she hurried to follow him . Chloe and Grace exchanged a glance , both seeing in the other's eyes that the show was about to begin . They , too , followed after him . At the hotel , Veronica had just finished her shower when she heard loud knocking on her room door . She smiled slightly , thinking back to the three people she had seen in the lobby downstairs .
