In Ornard’s villa, Veronica didn’t get up until nine o’clock and went downstairs for breakfast. In the dining hall, no one could be seen except for the servants.
She drank milk and asked the servant, “Where is Mr. Laban?”
“He went to the company,” the servant replied.
“Where are Aurora and her son?” Veronica asked again.
“Miss Caison and her son went out to play and said that they’re not going to be home for the whole day.”
The servant’s words made Veronica smile noncommittally. Going out was not real, but instead, they were out with Ornard, right?
Aurora must be angry after the scene of Veronica and Ornard yesterday. Ornard must have been out to comfort her.
In the past, Veronica would have been able to investigate Ornard’s position without any problems. She would have been able to make a scene and scratch Aurora’s face. But now, things were different.
She knew about the relationship between Ornard and Aurora, yet she could only pretend to be blind about it for now.
Ornard and Aurora didn’t even know that Veronica already knew the whole truth. They were still thinking of deceiving her, but it wouldn’t be that easy this time.
She was Veronica, and her goal was to make Ornard pay for using her like a tool.
After filling her stomach, Veronica got up and went upstairs. She hadn’t thought of killing Ornard and Aurora’s illegitimate children by herself before yesterday, but now, she just wanted to do it by herself. This would be the best way for revenge.
If that bastard was dead, then Ornard would be in despair. Seeing Ornard suffer would make Veronica the happiest.
Veronica went back to the bedroom and found the poison she had put last night. She had to put it into the bastard child’s food without anyone noticing.
The most important thing now was to figure out what the bastard child liked to eat so that she could carry out her plan.
Veronica went to his room. She placed the poison in her pocket and went to the kid’s room.
Looking at the layout of the child’s room, Veronica was so angry that she gnashed his teeth. This was not how a borrowed room should look like for a kid.
All the decorations were extravagant and luxurious! Ornard had planned this all along, right?
Veronica looked around the room with hatred and opened the drawer of the bedside table. In the drawer, she saw several bottles of vitamin gummies that children would normally eat.
It seemed that Aurora’s son ate this everyday. If she put the drugs on the soft candy and the child took it, he would not be able to survive until tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Veronica immediately took action. She mixed the colourless powder with the gummies, and the powder quickly stuck on the surface of the vitamins. It didn’t look any different from before.
Veronica then put the gummies back into the bottle and then quietly left the child’s room.
In another villa, the kid was playing with a servant in the garden. Ornard was in his bedroom coaxing Aurora. “Don’t be angry, Aurora. I didn’t do it on purpose. That bitch came to me on her own accord and she didn’t give me any chance to refuse!”
Aurora’s eyes were swollen from crying. “Even if she’s pestering you, she can’t pester you for a whole night, can she? You stayed in her room for a whole night. Do you know how I survived the night? My eyes were wide opened the entire night and it was such a torture!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to come out. That bitch just held me like a koala and didn’t let me go. She woke up as soon as I moved, and I couldn’t do anything about it. Look, I’m going to take you and your child out of here soon. I only want you, and she can’t compare, can she?” Ornard explained with a flattering smile.
“I believe that you can’t get rid of her and that she shamelessly pestered you. But do you plan to go on like this? If she asks you to accompany her every day, what are you gonna do? Are you going to accompany her every day and upset me?”
“Am I not thinking of a solution now? Let me see how to work it out first.”
“What else is there to think? She’s not your sister either way, just get rid of her!”
“I can’t do this as she knows a lot of my secrets. If she exposes all the secrets she knows, I will be doomed.”
“Then just kill her and be done with it!” Aurora was not a nice person either.
“Now is not the time to take action. The Floyd family has already targeted me, and they have begun to suppress me everywhere. If she dies, the Floyd family will be the first to think that I killed her in order to silence her. Then I will never have a peaceful life in the future.”
“This won’t do and that won’t do. Then you have to come up with a solution either way, right? I don’t want to live under the same roof as her. Either she moves out, or I move out with my child.”
Ornard sighed and said, “Okay, I can understand that you don’t want that, but it’s not realistic to kick her out. Veronica is very cunning. I can only rest assured if she is within my sight. Or, you can move out first, just for now?”
Ornard’s compromise was to have Aurora and her child move away, which made her unhappy. “She’s much more important than me to you, isn’t she!”
“She can’t be compared to you. Believe me, I’ll leave all of my assets to our kid. You’re his mother, so of course I won’t treat you badly.”
In order to stop Aurora from arguing with him, Ornard gave her a sweet promise. “Well, I’ll buy you a new house. You can choose any property you want.”
Ornard’s words made Aurora happy. “You promised! Don’t you dare go back on your words!”
“Am I a man like that? Look at how petty you are. Go wash your face and freshen up. Bring the baby home early in the evening and I will be back a little later. Just pretend that she’s crazy at home.”
For the sake of money, Aurora agreed to Ornard’s request. Ornard had something to do in the company, so he left.
Aurora washed her face and applied a mask to her eyes. After putting on her makeup, she brought her child out for shopping.
It was impossible for her to go back. She didn’t want to see Veronica’s disgusting face. First, she would have fun with her son outside for dinner before going back.
Aurora took her child to the amusement park in the afternoon and went to a high-end restaurant to have dinner. Then she took him home.
When they got home, Veronica was having dinner in the dining room. Aurora held back her disgust and smiled at her. Then, she took the kid back to the room upstairs.
Her child sat on the carpet and began to play with toys again. Remembering that he hadn’t had any vitamin gummies, Aurora opened the drawer and took out a gummy, and handed it to him.
He ate the gummy. Aurora was a little thirsty, so she got up and went downstairs to get some water. When she returned to the kid’s room with a glass of water, she found that he was lying on the ground with a purple face and he was making hissing noises. Aurora screamed and threw the glass, jumping towards him.
