He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 477

Quentin was temporarily stunned by his daughter's screaming, taking a moment to process her words before calmly explaining.

"Mr. Croft prefers to keep a very low profile. He specifically requested that his identity remain strictly confidential, which is why I never brought it up. Why do you ask, sweetheart? Did you run into him?"

"Run into him?! That's the understatement of the century!"

Still boiling with fury, Veronica unleashed her grievances, heavily exaggerating the events at the hospital to paint herself as the ultimate victim.

Normally, Quentin spoiled her rotten, blindly taking her side regardless of right or wrong.

Veronica was fully confident that her father would back her up and help her get revenge.

Instead, as she finished her tirade, Quentin's face drained of color. His voice cracked with sheer terror.

"Veronica, are you out of your mind?! You actually offended Mr. Croft?!"

"I... I've clearly spoiled you too much! Why don't you ever use your brain?! Do you think just anyone can get a room in that VIP wing? If he didn't have earth-shattering connections, he'd never be there! And... you actually tried to kick his friend out?!"

Quentin paced frantically, his tone drenched in panic.

"Mr. Croft is the savior of the Thorne family! During the financial crisis, several of our developments tanked. Our cash flow was severed, and Thorne Industries was literally days away from bankruptcy! It was Mr. Croft who stepped in and bailed us out! Without him, we would have nothing!"

"Veronica, Veronica... what am I going to do with you? You go home this instant! You are grounded for three days! Do not take a single step outside without my permission!"

Quentin delivered a blistering lecture before slapping her with the grounding order.

Having grown up wrapped in bubble wrap and luxury, Veronica had never been scolded so severely by her father.

She was completely dumbfounded. She tried to argue back, but Quentin hung up on her in a blind panic.

Veronica was so angry she thought she might explode. Yet, amidst the rage, an overwhelming curiosity about Julian Croft took root in her mind.

She immediately tapped her network, urgently ordering a deep dive into Julian's background.
