He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 926

At the same time, he shouted into the phone, "Veronica, stop acting crazy! Do not let them spray water at an elderly woman! Someone is going to get killed! Wait for me! I'm coming over right now!"

But Veronica was already blinded by rage. Hearing his voice only reminded her of their disastrous fight earlier, fueling her fury even more.

"Oh, so now you remember how to call me?" she spat. "Didn't you storm out because you were throwing a tantrum? What do you want now? Don't bother coming. It's my site, and I call the shots! I've had a terrible night, and I'm going to take it out on anyone who crosses me!"

With that, she hung up.

Listening to the dead air, Yardley felt his heart drop into his stomach. He knew how psychotic and stubborn she could be. That wasn't an empty threat. He stepped on the gas, speeding up even more.

Back at the construction site, Veronica coldly glared at the righteous elderly woman standing in the dirt and snapped, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you moving or not?"

Madeleine stood her ground right on the boundary line, refusing to budge a single inch, looking entirely prepared to die for her cause.

The night wind was freezing, and her frail body trembled slightly, but her spine remained perfectly straight. "I will never let you destroy a historical monument that has stood on the border of Bay City and Sutton City for a thousand years!"

"If you want to keep digging, you'll have to do it over my dead body! I'll guard this place with my life if I have to!"

Veronica narrowed her eyes, a vicious, venomous glint flashing in them. With a cruel smirk, she waved her hand. "Alright. Playing tough, huh?"

"Let's see what's tougher—your frail little bones, or our industrial water hoses."

"Just to be clear, we are merely washing the dirt tonight. We are not aiming at you. If you happen to get caught in the crossfire, well, my apologies. But since you're the one trespassing on our site and refusing to leave, you only have yourself to blame."

With that, she gave the order.
