Looking around the room, she lowered her eyes in disappointment. It turned out that everything was a dream instead of reality.
Her throat felt dry and sore, and her forehead felt like it was on fire. Her face turned pale, and she coughed weakly and leaned against the headboard.
Continuing to sit this way would not solve the problem and would only worsen her condition, so she forced herself to get up despite feeling tired and slowly went downstairs.
It was just that something unexpected happened when she went downstairs. When she dragged herself to the corner staircase, she met eyes with Wilson, who was sitting on the couch in the living room, Eden with the beautiful woman she saw in the restaurant, and Cole.
Her face turned paler in an instant. She instinctively turned around and wanted to avoid them, but it was obviously too late. Cole, who was anxious to instigate and see chaos, said, "Snow White's stepmother, come down and say hello!"
Hearing her voice, everyone looked up at the stairs, and their encounter became inevitable.
"Since you're downstairs, come over and say hello," Wilson looked at her and said.
She knew very well that Eden would one day know her identity, but she never thought it would happen in such an awkward situation.
What she did not expect was that she would reveal her identity in front of his girlfriend. If only she had known that he and his girlfriend were sitting downstairs, she would never have left her bedroom!
But there were no ifs in life, so her thoughts would not turn into reality!
Their meeting was inevitable, so she sighed, bit her lip fiercely, and went downstairs.
There was a flicker of surprise in Eden's kind eyes. He seldomly looked at Verena in shock.
"Mr. Lawson." She pinched her thigh with force to make herself look as natural as possible.
After she spoke, Wilson looked at Eden curiously, "You've met Miss Moore before?"
Before Eden had a chance to speak, Verena hurriedly replied, "I am Mr. Lawson's assistant..."
"I see..." Wilson nodded. "It's good that you already know each other."
"Hello, my name is Ruth Baker." Ruth introduced herself to Verena with a smile and extended her beautiful and milky white hand.
Verena was taken aback for a moment and quickly bent down.
Verena shook her hand awkwardly. "Hello, my name is Verena Moore."
Once Verena took a closer look at her, she realized that her face was gorgeous and looked smaller than a palm, just like a girl from a shoujo manga. Her eyes were big and beautiful as if they were an ocean of wonder. She also had an indescribable unique charisma.
Not only was she beautiful and her name beautiful, but her hands were also beautiful. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as delicate. She was beautiful like an angel.
"Why are you at the Lawson family's villa?" Eden was very curious and glanced at her.
Verena clenched her teeth, not knowing how to answer the question…
Cole leaned back lazily on the couch and whistled. "Brother, haven't I told you? Snow White's stepmother..."
Hearing this, Verena felt that her body becoming hotter. Her nails dug into her palms while she forced a bright smile as if she was simple-minded.
