A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

"Excuse me, I have something to ask you. Can you come out for a while?" The neighbor didn't dare look into Veronica's eyes, and he seemed to be in a difficult position.

Veronica was puzzled. "Ask me? What is it?"

"Come out for a moment," the neighbor suddenly said urgently.

Veronica didn't know what the neighbor wanted to do, but she still walked out boldly. The neighbor was a man, and Stella was still bathing. Veronica was afraid that the man would see something he shouldn't see when Stella came out of the bathroom, so Veronica closed the door.

But just as she closed the door, a few people suddenly jumped out from the dark corner. In an instant, a knife was pressed against Veronica's back. "Don't move."

Behind the neighbor, a man with a knife appeared. His face was covered with black cloth. He shouted at the neighbor, "This has nothing to do with you. You can leave now."

The neighbor looked at Veronica with guilt in his eyes. "But, she..."

"If you don't want to die with her, go back home."

Everyone was afraid of death. The neighbor was frightened. In the end, he opened the door of his apartment without looking back and slammed the door shut.

"Who are you?" Veronica's cold gaze swept across the men who were rushing over. "Why are you arresting me?"

"We are just following orders. You know whom you have offended." After these words, the man tied Veronica's hand with a knife to her neck and dragged her into the elevator. "Come with us."

When they entered the elevator, Veronica found that the surveillance camera in the elevator had been destroyed. No wonder these men dared enter the elevator so brazenly.

Veronica was forced to follow them into the elevator.

...

Because there was a dinner party at night, Raymond left the hotel after eating something. It was already around ten o'clock at night. After checking the time, Raymond found that there were several missed calls on his cell phone.

It was a man from the underworld. Raymond sent the man to investigate Rodger a few days ago.

Devin drove to pick up Raymond, and Raymond got into the car.

"Mr. Cordova, where are you going today?"

Raymond remembered that he hadn't visited Shirley in the hospital today. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the hospital."

"All right."

Devin turned the car around. Raymond called Shirley on his cell phone. When Shirley heard that Raymond was coming to see her, she happily said that she was looking forward to meeting Raymond. As soon as Raymond hung up the call, he received a call from the man he had sent to investigate Rodger.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Hello, why are you calling me?" Raymond asked.

"Mr. Cordova, I found it."

"What did you find?" Raymond frowned, and his slightly cold voice carried a trace of impatience. "Speak clearly." "Didn't you ask me to investigate the person who saved Ms. Hopper in the hotel last time? I've found out."

It turned out to be this.

"If you find it, do as I say. The hotel will reward her, and the money will be paid by the Cordova Group."

"But that person is not an employee of that hotel, and..."

"And what?"

"This person is not a part-time hotel employee. It is said that she replaced the clothes of the waiter and went in. After checking the surveillance video, I am sure that she is not an employee of the hotel." Raymond was surprised.

Could it be...

He suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He gripped his phone tightly and asked in a low voice, "What is her name?"

"Her name is Veronica." The other party paused for a moment. And then he continued, "When I investigated, I found that someone was also investigating this woman."

Veronica?

The name kept circling in Raymond's mind.

If Veronica saved Shirley, then, why did she lie to Raymond? She lied that she had been in the company. Raymond wondered what she was hiding.

Raymond held his cell phone calmly. "You just said that someone is also investigating Veronica. Who is it?"

"The man is also from the underworld. It is said that someone bought information about Veronica at a high price," the other party immediately said what he knew.

Raymond suddenly thought of a possibility. "Check where Rodger is right now. Give me his whereabouts as soon as possible."

"Yes, Sir."

After hanging up the call, Raymond didn't look good with a darkened face. And he looked grim. While sitting in front of the car, Devin did not know the specific content of Raymond's phone call. But he knew that he would not be criticized if he focused on driving.

Raymond had just hung up when Edwin's call came in.

Raymond had just answered the call when Edwin's chattering voice sounded on the cell phone. "Aren't you too busy? I called you so many times yesterday, but you didn't answer. I have to call you a few more times to get through today."

If it wasn't for Edwin's photo, he wouldn't have misunderstood Veronica. But... Veronica was indeed in Justin's arms. How could this be explained?

Raymond's words sounded somewhat impatient.

"Why did you call me?" Raymond's tone was unkind.

"I have something when I call you. I asked you to call me back. Why didn't you do that?" Edwin complained.

"I called you last night, but you were drinking with someone. I heard what you said. You preferred to drink than answer my call."

Edwin hemmed and hawed for several seconds and immediately said, "Come on, I was drunk. How could you take a drunk man's words seriously? Then why didn't you call me later?"

Anyway, it was right to blame it on Raymond.

Raymond's tone became even more impatient. "What do you want? Say it.'

Edwin was stunned by Raymond's attitude.

After hearing Raymond's words, Edwin suddenly did not want to tell him the truth, but for Stella's sake, he still explained to Raymond, "What I want to say is about Veronica."

Since he didn't hear Raymond's reply, Edwin awkwardly pinched his nose and continued, "A friend of mine said that he saw Veronica rescue Shirley from the room. Six strong bodyguards chased behind them. They ran down the stairs."

"And then?" Raymond asked in a low voice.

"Later, my friend felt that they were in danger and wanted to help. But they had already disappeared. Later, my friend took the elevator to the first floor and found Veronica standing in the hotel lobby. I also heard my friend say that at that time, the bodyguards on the other side of the stairs wanted to catch up with Veronica. Justin, that gigolo, accompanied Mrs. Comte to have a meal at that time. Mrs. Comte let Justin carry her to the hospital," Edwin said.

"Go to the hospital?" Raymond's eyes narrowed.

"And then?"

Edwin lowered his voice. "Then, my friend found that Veronica had blood on her body. And she was badly injured. She couldn't even stand properly. I was only able to see the blood on her body after I enlarged the photo I took."

Veronica was injured, but... She said nothing about this to Raymond.

And she lied to Raymond.

A series of evidence pointed to an answer that Raymond was wrong about Veronica in his heart.
