Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Chapter 113

"Then I'll come with you", The Sy Madam paused and continued,

"Just treat it as another vacation since I also need one. I'll also stay with you so at least I could

personally get to know your parents. After all, we'll soon become a family." The Sy Madame cheerfully

added.

She's happy with her own idea.

She no longer needs to miss her most lovable grandchildren plus, she will also get to know her

beautiful daughter in law's family.

Indeed what a perfect idea!

"If that's the case, then I'll also come over."

The other three people both turned their heads towards the old master Sy.

"What? I also wanted to spend time with my grandchildren. And since both of you are already

engaged, then it's only proper for the groom's parents to visit the bride's family!" The old master Sy,

was quick to justify his not so original idea.

"Then do you also plan to stay there until we can get the twins back here dad?" Rawlf asked

carefully.

"Hmp, it depends on my mood. I don't need any of you to assist me. When do you plan to leave by

the way?"

"Next Monday. We'll be boarding Veronica's private plane so it will be convenient for the twins."

"Alright! Then I'll get going to prepare my things first!" The old master then stood up to walk out of

the study room.

When the old master Sy left, the three silent people looked into each other's eyes. "Is that okay

with you mom?" Veronica asked Vanessa.

"Hm. Just let that old man be. He may not have been the kind of husband but he's been a good

father to Rawlf. The conflict between him and me is only just and would only just stay between us. I

won't let it affect my adorable grandchildren."

Veronica stood up to sit beside the Sy Madame. This time, she initiated an intimacy with the Sy

Madame by hugging her to show her gratefulness.

"Thanks mom."

'If only all people were as rational as the Sy Madame'. Veronica thought.

She already admired her when she found out that instead of acting as a miserable martyr with her

husband's infidelities, she rather acted on her maternal instinct and safeguard and prioritized her own

son.

And now, instead of dwelling on her pride, she didn't make a fuss out of the old master Sy's plan to

also come with them back in Country R and was generous enough just to not make trouble.

What a strong, rational and admirable woman. She not only admires and respects the Sy Madam,

Veronica is starting to also fall in love with her, as an individual, and soon to be, her mother in law.

While Veronica is hugging the Sy Madam, Madam Vanessa Sy and Rawlf look into each other's

eyes. Both eyes held a happy glint.

Three kilometers away from the heart of City, there stood a five story building that served as a

relocation site for the slum people of City I.

The building was established two years ago, under one of the fundraising events organized by Li Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Madame as she is known to be a philanthropist.

The said project was strongly supported by the local government of City I, the reason why it was

also a success.

And of course, one of the biggest contributors of this project is Rawlf Sy through the Sy Madam.

This is also the reason why the Sy Madam had been friends with the Li Madam, it's because of her

kind nature which the Sy Madame, even if she won't publicly admit, liked about the Li Madam.

Li Madam as the head of this fundraising project named the public residential place as Hope

Residence.

In line with its given name, the building indeed gave hope to the people who reside there. Because

of course, the housing was given for free among the eligible people, technically those who used to live

in the slums.

But it doesn't mean that their electricity and water were free.

Not everything is for free. But all in all, these people are still fortunate to have been given a proper

place to reside.

Located at the third story, there was a small apartment at the far end. Inside that small apartment,

there lived a lone woman.

She looked older than her actual age of forty three. It must be the cause of hard labor. But only the

woman, who decided to live alone since she lost her only son many years ago, could tell that it's not

because of the hard life she has gone through all alone, but because of the guilt, pain, and regret she

carries on every day of her life.

The woman was stirring the rice porridge which would serve as her meal for the whole day when

she heard a knocking on the door.

The woman ignored it thinking it must be one of the neighbors asking for salt, sugar, or whatever

they lack.

Generosity is good but when you experience lacking and having no one to run to, you would also

learn how to live selfishly for your own survival.

The knocking wasn't stopping anytime soon which irritated the woman and decided to open the

door murmuring, "This is the last time."

"What is it?" She asked right away and paused after seeing the man outside.
