Chapter 122: Chapter 122 The Wrong Bodyguard

Veyra’s glass was still in her hand. The water was warm now. The tears had dried on her cheeks. She had just thanked Dorian for everything he had done for her. She had meant every word.

Dorian set down his glass. His face was calm. Unreadable.

"You don’t need to thank me," he said. His voice was flat. "Dr. Harrison appreciated you because of your own abilities. Not because of me."

Veyra blinked. "That’s not true."

"It is true."

"I was nothing before you found me."

"You were never nothing."

Veyra shook her head. "I was trapped. I had no money. No resources. No hope. You gave me all of that."

Dorian’s jaw tightened. "I gave you a place to stay. The rest you earned yourself."

Veyra looked at him. His eyes were distant. His voice was cold. He was trying to push her away.

She did not let him.

"I know why you’re doing this," she said.

Dorian’s expression flickered. "Doing what?"

"Pushing me away. Making it seem like you don’t care."

Dorian said nothing.

"I’m not going to let you," Veyra continued. "You changed my life. You gave me a chance. I’m going to be grateful, whether you like it or not."

Dorian’s mouth twitched. Almost a smile. He suppressed it.

"You’re stubborn," he said.

"I’ve been told."

Wesley watched the exchange. His eyes moved between them. He was curious. Intrigued.

"Mrs. Thorne," he said. "You mentioned you have a life plan. What is it?"

Veyra turned to him. Her voice was steady. "I’m going to build a pharmaceutical company. With Xavier Lala. We’re going to develop new drugs. Save lives. Change the industry."

Wesley’s eyebrows rose. "That’s ambitious."

"I know."

"And you think you can do it?"

"I know I can."

Wesley leaned back. He studied her face. "You’re very confident."

"I’m determined which is a big difference."

Wesley smiled. "I like that."
