Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 117

　　Ric only paid her mother a short visit and proceeded to Dragon Mansion.

　　Since he will have the week to come home to his mother, he chose to arrive early at Dragon Mansion to catch up with his Senior Vivi and to play with his nephew and niece.

　　He first checked if the gifts he bought from City M were on the car before starting to drive.

　　When he arrived, there were already two cars near the mansion's main gate so he decided to park his car on the other side of the street just under a tree he couldn't distinguish.

　　Butler Ru was already waiting at the gate. "Let me help you with it, young master Ric."

　　"It's alright. These are for my nephew and niece. The gifts for the older people are back in the car. Please help me have some people carry it inside." Ric then gave the car key to the butler and proceeded inside.

　　"Ric!" Ric heard the voice of the woman he was quite familiar with. When he raised his head after changing his shoes to house slippers a maid gave him, he grinned widely.

　　"Wow! I don't think that I would be able to still distinguish you if you didn't call me first, Senior!" The two hugged afterwards and Veronica led him to the living room.

　　"Ric is here!" Veronica announced.

　　The Sy Madam is early because she no longer needs to do other things. Since Rawlf and Ric's relationship turned better, naturally, the Sy Madam also became polite to Ric.

　　After all, she realized that the young man is kind natured and didn't pose a threat to her son so slowly over the years, she accepted Ric as part of the family.

　　"Auntie, how are you?" Ric greeted the Sy Madam with a bow. The Sy Madam smiled.

　　"Good boy, it's good that you're back. How is City M?"

　　"It's alright Aunt. Oh, I only brought the gifts for my nephew and niece. The rest are in the car, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that you would be here much earlier than me." Ric apologized good naturedly.

　　"It's alright. Come and sit. The children are still in their room changing. They'll be here soon. You're older brother on the other hand is still in the study. He'll be downstairs soon as well."

　　Ric nodded and sat down at the end of the couch. A maid gave him a glass of cold apple juice. "Thanks."

　　"Edward is here with us."

　　"Wow,I never knew that the guy was back here as well."

　　"He's in the kitchen messing up with people there." Veronica frowned in exasperation,

　　"Wait, since you're here, I'll call him so that you guys could talk while the children aren't here yet."

　　"It's okay, Senior. I better call him myself."

　　Ric then excused himself to the Sy Madam and to Veronica. "Alright."
