After the dramatic scene, Veronica and Madame Vanessa spent the rest of the day strolling and buying here and there inside HaoHua Mall.
That was when Veronica realized that the madam loves to buy jewelry, above all else, but interestingly enough, was not even wearing too much in her body as of the moment.
Veronica on the other hand felt the need to buy a pair of cute clothes for the cubs in line with their 'fashion style' as far as Veronica could understand.
When Madame Vanessa felt tired from almost a whole day of strolling, they both decided to have a snack before finally going back home.
Veronica on Elegire exclusive subdivision. And Madam Veronica in her private mansion in the suburbs but not really far from the heart of City I.
So Veronica decides to go with Sy Madame as per her invitation, (insistence), to come over to her own mansion. She already called Rawlf and the man told her that he would fetch her personally after work.
The two were busy chatting at the backseat when Veronica suddenly felt a sudden rush on her instinct. "Out!!! Now!!"
Veronica shouted suddenly that even the driver and bodyguard were taken aback but instinctively enough, followed her words.
"Bam!"
A loud explosion was heard on the road right on the way just some feet away from the car and if Veronica were any later to find a mishap on the surroundings as she caught something on her peripheral views, who knows, they might be uniting with the explosion!
Although the car they were in was an armored one, but that doesn't give an assurance to their survival much that the explosion was huge.
Veronica jumped on the sidewalk then hurriedly rolled down the bushy part of the roadway to hide while protectively embracing the Sy Madame.
The Sy Madame who was shocked by what happened wasn't even to utter a single word although an unmasked sharp look appeared on her eyes. Then she looked at the woman who still held her in her arms.
"Mom, listen. Don't move. Stay here and wait for my return", Veronica's carefree attitude suddenly turned calmed, alert and serious as she asked the Sy Madame to stay put in order to ensure her safety.
The bushy area was thick enough to hide the figure of the Sy Madame as long as she wouldn't try to move and Veronica was sure that nothing would befall her as her target was some feet ahead of their current location.
She's not sure what happened to the sole bodyguard and driver but Veronica was sure that the person responsible for the explosion on the road earlier was the same person who she saw on her peripheral view that ran along beside the bushy sideway ahead of them to the said explosion area.
And that's her target. Veronica's eyes turned deadly..
Seeing this change in her daughter in law's expression, Madame Sy couldn't help but be worried and at the same time, slightly uncomfortable.
But as expected to the Sy Madame who had experienced her fair share of assasination much during her younger days as the Sy Madame, she calmed down and remained clear headed.
"But where are you going? How about we wait?! I have other men who were trailing behind us. They will be here as soon as possible!" Madame Vanessa said, worry for her daughter in law prevailed.
That's better. Veronica thought. That way she's assured that help is coming their way, much to the Sy Madame's safety.
