Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 58

　　"Wow? Who is that?!" Julie Tan heard one of her college friends ask.

　　She was actually having her early lunch with her college classmates to catch up with everything going on with each other's lives.

　　For the rest of the girls, they are close friends, for Julie Tan, they're just some girls who she needed in order to maintain a good reputation of being friendly and of course, following the standard rule of social protocol.

　　On the outside, she looks like she's having the most fun but on the inside, she's feeling disgusted by these girls who think they could also stand on the same level in society as her just because they're friends with her.

　　"Wait, she looks familiar!" Another one of their friends added.

　　"By the looks, indeed she is. But I haven't known anyone with the same red hair as well, oh shit waittt!" The girl moved to have a better view, "Damn girls! That's senior Veronica!"

　　All the three girls on the table except Julie Tan gasped in wild surprise. They turned to look at Julie who, they remembered, had never been close to this senior because of that event when they were just freshmen in college.

　　They themselves never tried to get close to Veronica Wang but still remained civil and nice to her out of respect of being a senior, afterall, Veronica Wang was already a fourth year and graduating while they were just freshmen.

　　The first girl who mentioned Veronica, named Tina turned to look at Julie.

　　"Julie, do you still remember Senior Veronica? And did you hear it? The Sy Madame said she's her future daughter in law?! Oh my gosh! Shocking news!"

　　Another girl who mentioned that Veronica Wang looks familiar who's name is Carla added, "Our batchmates need to hear about this news! So amazing for senior Veronica ah! Just wow!"

　　Meanwhile, Julie Tan, despite her years maintaining her soft and kind facade, was almost at the edge of snapping out just hearing these parasitic friends admiring her ultimate nemesis, Veronica Wang.

　　Julie couldn't understand it! How come that it's hard for her to maintain her facade now?!

　　She thought she had perfected the art of putting up a fasçade and yet here she is, almost at the last piece of her rationality to cause havoc in the restaurant.

　　'This is all that bitch Veronica's fault! If not for her, everything would have been smooth sailing, but not that she only destroyed her day but also seemed to return back to Country P just to destroy her future as the future Madame Sy?!'

　　Julie Tan suddenly stood up.

　　"Hey girls, I'm going to the comfort room first", ulie Tan said weakly.

　　"Julie, are you okay? Wait, let me accompany you", Tina offered her help seeing as their kind and nice friend looks too pale.

　　"No, no, it's alright. I can manage, finish your meals. I'll come back right away", Julie Tan said weakly with a nervous expression in her face as she look over Veronica's side "stealthily", afraid that anyone might catch her from doing so, which did not escape from her friends eyes with which, Julie Tan intended to do so in the first place.

　　When Julie Tan was gone to the comfort room , the three girls started to talk about her and her sudden nervousness after seeing their best friend in this state after seeing Veronica.

　　"What happened years ago must have really taken a great toll on Julie", Carla said with pity.

　　"Yeah, indeed, it must have even caused her trauma, you know. It's just sad. Julie was our kindest and sweetest friend and here she is, getting all nervous just by seeing senior Veronica", Tina replied.

　　Meanwhile, the last girl who kept her silence the whole time finally sighed and said in a hostile manner.

　　"You girls kept on giving that Veronica compliments in front of Julie, the one who caused her trauma! Of course, she would feel sick! I don't think that she'll ever get over it. I remembered after that day, Julie seemed to have changed."

　　"What do you mean, Ally?" Tina asked in confusion.

　　"It's that Veronica's fault! She caused Julie's depression at that time during our initiation! And besides, she acted all high and mighty and the karma goes around that bitch! See her father was accused of graft and corruption a few years ago and her family just disappeared afraid of getting caught. But anyway, look at her now, trying to get closed and curry favour out of the Sy Madame. Maybe, Rawlf Sy doesn't even know her personally and is just using Madame to be close with Rawlf Sy!"

　　Carla and Tina were "enlightened" after a realization dawned on them!

　　Ally indeed has a point. If not for her reminding them, they might even have forgotten how Veronica acted so righteous in front of them when in the end, her own father was accused of a graft and corruption case!

　　"But the case was dismissed eventually though", Carla argued, trying to be rational anyway. ''There will be no smoke if there's no fire", Ally replied in disgust.

　　"Wait girls, don't you think the Sy Madame knew that her father was once involved in that political scandal??!" Tina blurted.

　　"I don't know. But considering how kind the Sy Madame treated her, maybe that woman concealed the truth from her", Ally replied in a spiteful manner.

　　"I think it's our perfect chance to avenge our poor Julie this time." She added when an evil idea appeared in her mind.

　　"But she's with the Sy Madame. Maybe some other time if she's on her own, Al", Tina said nervously.

　　"What other time, today is the perfect moment! Ally is right. Julie had been nothing but kind to us. At least in this manner, we can show her the sincerity of our friendship", Carla said in a spirited tone like she's fighting for a great cause.

　　Tina, who was eventually persuaded, conceded. "Alright, how will we do it?"

　　Ally finally having the support of her friends smiled and laid down her plan on how to humiliate Veronica in front of the elites of the high society and of course, most especially to Madame Sy.
