"Edwin Walker," Raymond said coldly.
Raymond rarely called Edwin's full name. Edwin suddenly became nervous. He knew what Raymond was going to say next. Edwin said anxiously, "Oh, right. My friend said that he saw Rodger, who was beaten by you, show up in a private hospital in Peace City yesterday. Got to go! I have something to do now. See you later."
After that, Edwin hung up the phone. And he blocked Raymond's number.
'I'm safe now. I'll never get any phone calls from Raymond.' Edwin thought.
Raymond did not call Edwin again, but he called Edwin's mother.
"Mrs. Walker, didn't you always want to know where Edwin has been living recently?" Raymond said very politely, "I just got his address. Are you interested in that?"
...
Next, Raymond called Veronica.
Veronica didn't tell Raymond anything about what had happened recently. Raymond hadn't seen her for two days. He didn't know how she was doing now.
Veronica didn't answer the phone at once.
Someone picked up the phone the third time Raymond called. It was a woman. Her voice was hoarse and nervous. It was not Veronica.
"Put Veronica on the phone!" Raymond said forcefully.
Raymond thought Veronica didn't want to talk to him. So, she asked somebody else to answer the phone for her.
"Mr. Cordova!" Stella held the phone and said seriously, "Aren't you with your fiancée now? Why are you calling Veronica? Veronica has nothing to do with you anymore. Please leave her alone, okay?"
Raymond frowned and repeated, "Put Veronica on the phone."
"I'm sorry, but I won't let her answer the phone. And I'd also like to say you already have a fiancée. You should treat your fiancée well. Stop messing with people's feelings. Otherwise, you'll regret it someday."
"Ms. Bruno, I don't have a fiancée!" Raymond explained indifferently.
"Lair!" Stella snorted, "The news was suppressed very quickly. But we heard that. The news reports were very clear. Do you still want to deny it?"
Stella kept on talking.
"It was true that you helped Veronica during her most difficult time. But she had saved your fiancée. If you save a dog in the street, he will bark at you to show appreciation. A smart man like you should be even more grateful."
"Veronica was badly injured to save your fiancée. She almost lost her life. We don't want your thanks. But would you please leave her alone? If you can stop calling Veronica, then we will appreciate it."
Raymond had been waiting for Stella to finish her sentence.
He couldn't help but frown when he heard Veronica had almost lost her life to save Shirley.
"Is she with you now?" Raymond asked again.
Stella was annoyed. "Mr. Cordova, did you not just hear me? I'm telling you. I won't let Veronica answer the phone. Give up."
Stella did not see Veronica at home when Raymond was speaking.
Stella's eyes swept around the living room. Usually, Veronica would sit on the sofa and practice her pronunciation. But today, Stella didn't see anyone. She looked into the bedroom. Veronica was not in the bedroom, either.
It was late at night. And Veronica didn't bring her phone. Where could she go?
