A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 710

Shirley's words were like a bomb exploding in Veronica's mind, causing her mind to go blank.

And they confirmed what Stella had said before.

Shirley said that she already had an engagement with a man, and that engagement was set three years ago.

That meant Shirley and Raymond were engaged, but Raymond never told Veronica anything about that.

Stella sat beside Veronica.

She was stunned after hearing what Shirley said. Then, she looked worried at the pale-faced Veronica and asked, "Veronica, are you alright?"

Veronica smiled faintly, "I'm fine."

Stella was still worried.

She had known Veronica for many years and she knew her well. Although Veronica said that she was fine, Stella knew that she was just pretending.

Veronica had liked Raymond before, but she always felt that there was a gap between their status and didn't dare to start a relationship with him. It wasn't easy for her to gather the courage to be with Raymond but, in the end, she was told that Raymond already had a fiancée. No one could stand that kind of thing.

Neither of them knew how they made it to the end of the class.

Later on, Veronica acted normal, but the more she tried to look normal, the more abnormal she was.

In the afternoon, Veronica took some time off and returned to the villa.

...

Stella thought right.

Veronica wasn't truly fine as she claimed to be.

She was rather disappointed than angry.

All this time, she felt that she knew Raymond. She didn't expect that he had been lying to her. Raymond was engaged to Shirley, but he still accepted to be her boyfriend.

Veronica wanted to call Raymond and ask for an explanation, but she didn't dare to do so.

She was afraid that she would get a definite answer.

She might not believe it even if Raymond told her that there was no engagement between him and Shirley.

After all, there was so much evidence proving their engagement to be true.

Veronica just couldn't be more disappointed that Raymond had lied to her.

Raymond was the pedestalled president of the Cordova Group. If he wanted to play with Veronica's emotions, she wouldn't be his match. Therefore, Veronica decided not to confront Raymond so that she could avoid his humiliation.

However, it was also impossible for her to stay around Raymond and let him enjoy being accompanied by two women at the same time. She wouldn't continue to be the home wrecker of him and Shirley.

If Veronica wasn't Raymond's girlfriend, she could have stayed in the villa as a competent maid. However, her relationship with Raymond had changed. It would only make it awkward for them if she stayed, so it was better for her to move away.

Veronica had already decided in her heart that Raymond had cheated on her feelings. She believed that Marie and the others in the villa were helping Raymond do that, so she didn't tell Marie that she wanted to move out.

She pretended that the school was organizing a camping trip, so she went back to the villa to pack her things. Marie even warned her with concern to be careful at night.

Veronica didn't have many things there. There were only a few sets of clothes, and most of them were books, Shirley's books.
