Before the clock makes it to eleven, Madame Vanessa's car is parked in front of the mansion's gate.
The madame no longer decided to walk out and instead wait for her daughter in law to come over.
The ice cold queen Sy Madame was clothed with a stoic expression which will later on change to the kindest and pampering one once her lovely future daughter in law arrives.
After some minutes, Veronica was already outside the car and one of the madame's body guards opened the door for her after bowing.
Meanwhile, the observant driver and bodyguard were trying to hide their surprised look after seeing the one hundred eighty degree change in their madame's expression! Is this still the ice cold queen Madame Vanessa Sy?!
But of course, those were only their exaggerated thoughts and only stayed silent and calm while preparing to leave.
"How was your first night in the mansion dear?" Madame Vanessa asked in a thoughtful tone.
"It's comfortable auntie. I had a good sleep. How about you? You still went back last night even when it's already late. You should have just stayed over", Veronica, realizing how she sounded imposing, realized her mistake and was about to say sorry when the madame suddenly cried, or better explained, cried dramatically.
"It's really good to have a daughter in law! Dear, you should call me mom! We will end there eventually right? Right?!"
Veronica tried to hide her amusement. True to Rawlf's words, the mother was trying to trap her with her son. "Aunt-," when Madame Vanessa instantly raised her head with disappointment, Veronica could do nothing about it but let herself get defeated, "Mom, it's alright", Veronica knew the woman was just acting but also knew that the longing is sincere because of the lack of attention she received from her son.
"Oh how nice! Mom is really happy Vivi. You are the most loving daughter in law!"
Veronica, who doesn't know what to do, what to say, or how to react, just kept silent and smiled while rubbing the old madame's back who was 'sobbing' in her embrace.
The two women instantly caught the attention of everyone else in the Háohuá mall. The mall was actually to attract the rich and powerful elites of City I although it's open to everyone else as long as the people strictly followed the rules.
One, no picture or video taking of any elites or celebrity people inside the mall's premises and two, no disturbing of the elites or celebrity to ask for their photograph or a picture with them. Buttomline, no disturbing of the customer or fellow customer unless otherwise, you are personally acquainted with them.
Those set of rules indeed attracted the celebrity or elites who just wanted to stroll around or relax and live a normal life sometimes without the fear of being huddled up or disturbed by their fans.Those who disobey the rules would for eternity be banned inside the mall plus gets to fine a huge amount of money. This is legal because all customers, including the staff, were asked to sign the contract first that they will follow the rules before they are allowed the job or entry and then were each given a pass card.
Fans who just wanted to catch a glimpse of their idols would only be content to look at them from afar but that's the only thing they could do, unless they would want to pay the huge fine and suffer in poverty.
Members of the media were banned in the mall unless they're off duty and just strolling around to relax.
The security was also very tight in order to ensure that no paparazzi were able to enter and so far, no one successfully made it.
Veronica changed her facial expression into a kind one as soon as they entered the mall and because she knew and expected that she would attract attention from the people. After all, this was also a part of her plan. To attract attention from other people which eventually, would attract the attention of her enemy as well.
She felt the need to speed up the process of this whole thing because likewise with Rawlf, it is to guarantee their cubs safety when they are to arrive in Country P.
The sooner the better. Veronica thought.
Even without a pass card she was let for an entry because she's with the mother of the mall's owner.
Yes, Háohuá mall is a subsidiary of Sy International!
Some elites who saw the Sy Madame nodded at her in acknowledgement if they're lucky enough to catch her eyes.
