Chapter 677 Here Comes Veronica (40)
It had to be.
It must be Raymond.
In the entire Peace City, other than Raymond, no one else could make the entire city's foreign trade companies and translation firms reject Veronica's application.
But... why did Raymond do this?
At that moment, Veronica's cell phone rang.
Veronica looked at her cell phone. It was Dora.
Dora's name on the cell phone made Veronica's expression change slightly.
Veronica answered the call.
"Hello."
"Hello, Veronica." Dora's soft and charming voice came through the cell phone.
"What is it?" Veronica asked.
She didn't forget what Dora had said when she was chased out and arrived at the door of her uncle's home. She still remembered those words. Veronica naturally wouldn't have a good attitude toward Dora.
"It's like this. The last time you came to my house, you left a book at the door. I happened to pick it up. There seemed to be Shirley's signature on it. I know that you used to be a fan of Shirley, so I want to ask you. Do you still want this book?"
A book with Shirley's signature.
Veronica suddenly widened her eyes.
The last time she went to Dora's house to look for her book, she thought that all the books were collected. But when she arrived at the Cordova family's villa, she found that she had lost a book. No matter how hard she tried, she could not find it. At that time, she thought that she might have accidentally lost it somewhere. Later, she thought that she would lose the book forever.
Veronica subconsciously asked, "What is the name of the book?"
Dora smiled mockingly, "Do you think I lied to you? It's called How to be a Good Translator. Do I have to lie to you about a poor book?"
Veronica didn't trust Dora, so she asked what the book was called.
After hearing Dora's words, Veronica finally relaxed a little.
"That is a book written by Shirley. It is not a poor book." But she was still a little worried. "Since you already picked up my book, why did you only call me after so long?"
"I picked it up a long time ago, but I forgot to call you. I suddenly saw it today. So, I called you."
Dora's explanation was flawless.
"In that case, I will go to your house to get it now."
"Wait," Dora smiled tenderly and said. "Your book is not in my house."
Veronica frowned. "If it's not in your house, then where is it?"
"Do you know about Summer Hut in North Mountain?"
North Mountain ... was a mountain about twenty kilometers to the north of Peace City. Because there were many primitive forests, the mountain became a natural preservation zone. But there were not many parts of North Mountain that were developed for tourists to visit. Summer Hut was a small wooden house closest to the primitive forests in North Mountain. And the terrain near Summer Hut was more complicated and could be called a maze. That was why Summer Hut was also called a maze hut.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Veronica's expression changed slightly when she heard Dora mention the hut.
"What do you mean by mentioning Summer Hut?"
Dora smiled and said, "I put your book in it. If you want to get that book, come to Summer Hut to find it."
"What?"
Before Veronica could finish, Dora hung up.
Then, Dora sent her two photos.
The two photos were Dora's selfies. One was outside the hut, and the other was inside the hut. Inside the hut, Dora stood there with Veronica's book in her hand, and she placed the book on the table inside. After seeing the book on the table, Veronica became angry.
Dora indeed put her book there.
After seeing the two photos, Veronica called Dora angrily.
Dora quickly answered the call.
Dora's lazy voice came from the cell phone. "How is it? Did you see that book?"
Veronica shouted angrily, "Dora, you did too much. How can you put my book in that kind of place?"
Dora let out a soft laugh. "What's wrong with me? I picked up that book of yours. It's my freedom to deal with it. I can't possibly hold it in my hands and wait for you to come and get it, can I? I went to Summer Hut last time to play, and I happened to bring it there. So, I left it there. The book may even want to thank me because I took it to travel."
"Dora." Veronica didn't know how to describe her feelings at that time.
"Come on. I know you miss me very much now, but I don't miss you at all. Oh, by the way..." Dora smiled and reminded Veronica. "It seems to be raining tonight. What about Summer Hut? It happens to be unguarded against the rain. I placed the book near the window. If it rains, I don't know how the book will be soaked. In addition, the wind on the mountain is strong. Maybe... the book will be gone tomorrow morning."
Veronica had been thinking that Dora was just joking with her, but she now confirmed that Dora was deliberately fooling her.
"Why?" Veronica suppressed her anger. "Dora, why did you do this?"
After Veronica said so, Dora's voice suddenly changed. "Why? You tell me. I'm messing with you. Can't you tell?"
Veronica said, "I have no enmity with you. Why are you messing with me?"
Dora gritted her teeth and said, "How could there be no enmity between us? I was the one who fell in love with Justin first, but... he didn't even look at me and followed you every day. Didn't you rely on your seducing face to make him dizzy?"
Veronica laughed, "Justin? But there was nothing between him and me."
Dora said, "Liar. He helped you get food and water time and time again. If there was nothing between you two, how could he do this for you?"
Veronica shouted, "You are unreasonable."
Dora answered, "Just take it as me being unreasonable. Anyway, your book is now in Summer Hut. Do you want it or not?"
Dora hung up the call.
While looking at the cell phone in her hand, Veronica was so angry that her heart pounded.
Because Justin always helped her, Dora was jealous and deliberately fooled Veronica.
For ordinary people, that book was just a book. So even if it was broken, it didn't matter.
But the book was special for Veronica. It was Veronica's favorite book because the content of the book encouraged her many times. Every time she was sad and disappointed, she would be cheered up by the book.
And there was Shirley's signature on it.
...
Dora probably knew this. It was why she had deliberately placed the book there.
Veronica had to get the book back.
