Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 59

　　Veronica and Madame Vanessa Sy were enjoying their delightful lunch when some presence stood near the table.

　　When Veronica look at them, somehow, they looked a bit familiar.

　　Seeing as they're looking at her and not to the Sy Madame, Veronica felt obliged to give them her attention. Although it's not necessary, since she's with the Sy Madame, she felt the need to "behave" and not to embarrass her.

　　"Yes?.. Anything ladies?"Veronica asked right away with confusion filling her face.

　　Even Madame Sy who was enjoying her lunch was now back at her stoic, ice cold expression after sensing troubles from these girls.

　　She was about to say something when Veronica looked at her in a subtle way as if telling her she could handle the situation.

　　"Hello Senior Veronica Wang! It's been a long time! We came to pay you our respect!" The three girls said in unison which also caused some buzzed off from the other elites who were then observing the two women who had been the center of attention since their arrival.

　　"Veronica Wang?! You mean that daughter of that politician who ?" Although in a low voice,

　　Veronica could still hear the sudden change in the atmosphere of the elites inside the restaurant.

　　Some already were judging her character based on her father's political scandal, some who felt envy towards her earlier now are having their schadenfreude moment while the few wise ones reserve their judgement and keep their silence.

　　However, Veronica was not the least worried and even wanted to laugh loudly at these girls' antics.

　　'I mean, who are they? I don't even know them.' Veronica thought in amusement. Since these girls wanted to have fun, what's wrong with not joining them, right?

　　"Oh thank you ladies...but you are ? I can't seem to recognize any of you." Veronica replied in

　　nonchalance.

　　Disregarding the buzzes of other people in the restaurant. Deep inside, she's mad because those people were judging her father's character out of that dismissed case.

　　The trio who were confident earlier were feeling slightly embarrased, after all, the restaurant is filled by the elites of City I and them, they're just nothing but middle class workers.

　　"Oh, we were your freshmen in college, Senior Veronica. It's actually surprising to see you back here in City I after.... your family's dissapearance from five years ago. I'm Ally by the way and

　　my friends here are Tina and Carla."

　　"Yes, Senior Veronica. I hope your father is finally okay too you know…", Tina looked at the Sy

　　Madame to confirm her listening to their conversation and continued, "after the political scandal he was involved in, that time. But I hope justice prevailed in the end, right Senior?"

　　Tina was trying to trap Veronica from saying yes by adding the last line and of course, would confirm herself, that indeed, her father was involved in a political scandal. Both Carla and Ally's eyes sparkle in excitement.
