Ian shook the wine glass in his hand. The red wine swirled in the glass, leaving a bright red stain. Looking at the stain, Ian smiled. "Mr. Cordova seems to be very clear about my purpose in coming here."
Raymond leisurely leaned back in his chair, with his deep gaze carefully sizing up Veronica's sleeping face. His eyes were filled with affection.
Veronica could sleep soundly wherever she was.
"Before you came, I already knew your purpose, just as you know mine."
"How is it? Do you have any interest in cooperating with me, Mr. Cordova? I will offer you a price five percent higher than that you can get from the underworld."
Raymond was no longer patient. He walked to Veronica's side, took her up in his arms, and walked to the door of the private room. Before he left, he said, "I won't cooperate with you. Also... Stay away from my girlfriend."
Then he left without turning back.
Outside the hotel, Devin was already waiting there. Then, Raymond carried Veronica into the car, but when he was about to place her down, he suddenly threw her forcefully.
The sense of falling instantly woke Veronica up. She immediately got up. However, the roof of the car was not high enough. Before she could stand up, her head slammed into the top of the car, forcing her to fall back down. She covered the back of her head in pain and fell into the seat.
Raymond sat in the car expressionlessly. Just as he sat down, he coldly ordered, "I'll drive!"
Raymond started the car, while Veronica, who once again tried to stand up, fell heavily back to the seat. Only then did she realize where she was.
Rubbing the back of her head, Veronica remembered that she had just been thrown into the car by Raymond.
"What are you doing?" Veronica grimaced in pain. "Are you trying to kill me? It hurts!"
"You can feel the pain now?" Raymond said coldly, "Are you clear-minded now?"
"I have been sober all the time."
"If you're clear-minded, you wouldn't be with Ian."
"What's wrong with me staying with him? He helped me. We are friends. Besides, the two of us didn't do anything shameful," Veronica retorted.
"If you had done something shameful with him, you wouldn't be only suffering from a headache!" Raymond glanced at her coldly.
Raymond's anger was inexplicable and mysterious to Veronica. And she had just been awakened from her sleep, so she was in a bad mood. Thus, Veronica turned her head away and did not speak to Raymond.
"Why aren't you talking?" Raymond's deep and questioning voice sounded.
"What am I supposed to say?"
"Tell me how did you know Ian?"
"Why ask? Do you care about that?" Veronica did not answer but asked.
"Why do you think he tried to get close to you? Are you that stupid? First, it was Rodger. And now it is Ian. When will you learn to be a little smarter?" Every word of Raymond revealed his fury as he shouted.
Veronica widened her eyes.
Being scolded by Raymond, Veronica was annoyed. "You're right. I am stupid. I am not as smart as you. Are you satisfied now?"
"I am telling a matter of fact!" Raymond frowned and reminded her in a deep voice, "Ian is not a good person. You're not allowed to see him again. Do you hear me?"
Veronica looked out the window grimly and did not reply to Raymond.
"Veronica!" Raymond's voice was even louder, and he insisted on getting an affirmative answer from Veronica. "Promise me that you won't see him again!"
