Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 93

　　Both the twins after sometime became comfortable with the old master Sy.

　　Too comfortable that Baelfair was now seated on the old master's lap while Baelfire was just contently seated beside his grandfather asking him questions about the business world which the old master Sy readily and willingly answered.

　　Some information is even the highly confidential ones which should have remained secret between Rawlf and Robert as those concerned the Sy International yet, the old master Sy was giving it away, in the open, for Baelfire to absorb.

　　Baelfair, on one hand, was once again munching on her oatmeal cookie while listening rather too intently with her grandfather's words.

　　This does not escape Rawlf, Veronica, and even the old master Sy's observation.

　　The three were seated on the other side of the sofa lounge while on the separate side seated Veronica and Rawlf who was constantly caressing Veronica on her hair, back and sometimes, in her arms. This too, did not escape the old master Sy's observation.

　　He was observing this future daughter -in-law and with the way she carried herself, the old master Sy clearly saw confidence and power in her.

　　'So far so good. He liked this daughter in law. What's not to like anyway?! She already gave him gifted grandchildren! And yes grandchildren! Not one but two grandchildren!!' The old master Sy thought to himself.

　　Based on the information his men gathered so far, this future daughter in law's family reputation wasn't doing good.

　　Her then vice-governor father was painted with a graft and corruption case that caused the family to escape abroad. That is the surface story. But with the old master Sy's connection, delving into his future daughter in law's family, the history, and the factualness of what happened years ago was easy to discover.

　　It turned out that Eddie Wang was accused wrongly, a political maneuver of his contra-partido. There's no basis on the filed lawsuit and later on was dismissed. The family didn't escape abroad but rather, Eddie Wang's wife sought the advanced medical treatment for her husband. The old master Sy only has that information because his men told him that after the family went abroad, they seemed to have vanished just like a smoke.

　　This made the old master Sy very curious and was determined to know the truth from this future daughter in law.

　　"When will your parents return home for the marriage?"

　　Veronica suddenly coughed and Rawlf helped her by rubbing on her back.

　　"Veronica and I still have a lot of things to finish first, father. But once everything is settled, we'll have the wedding."

　　The old master Sy remained silent. But after a while, he asked once again, "Then, when are they returning back to the country?"

　　"My parents decided to settle in Country R for good, uncle. My father is still undergoing his rehabilitation and traveling is not yet fit for him", Veronica replied with sincerity.

　　Veronica's answer confirmed the information which the old master Sy's men gathered.

　　So Eddie Wang was indeed abroad to recuperate. And now, it seemed, they decided to leave everything in Country P and rather chose to settle in Country R in peace.

　　"Your father has a relative in Country R?"

　　``Rather my mother's brother."

　　Other information has been confirmed, thought the old master Sy.

　　This future daughter in law's maternal descent was from Country R. That explains the unique feature and hair color not only of this future daughter in law but of his grandchildren as well.

　　Contrary to the other conventional Country P high society who looked down upon the mixed races, the old master Sy does not mind this factor at all as he himself is libertarian and modern.

　　"What's your uncle's work in Country R?"

　　"Father, that's not important for now. You can ask Veronica about that next time."

　　Rawlf butted in, he couldn't take it anymore as to how his father probed his woman in front of him.

　　This is what he finds unacceptable and decides to intervene finally. However, Veronica touched his arms as if telling him it's okay.

　　Rawlf took her hands in his and looked at her. Seeing the calm look into hers, he sighed to agree with her in silence.

　　"He works for the government", Veronica answered and finally looked at the old master Sy directly in his eyes as if telling and warning him that they're already talking about her family and she won't take any disrespect of any form be directed to any of her family members.

　　"Interesting", the old master Sy replied.

　　"Let's talk next time if you'll excuse me. I need to give all my attention to my grandchildren", He said then indeed, started to once again talk with the twins, totally ignoring the twins parents.

　　Rawlf's mouth twitched, on the other hand, Veronica just shrugged off her shoulder. After all, they're talking about Robert Sy here. Not just any man but Robert Sy.

　　Veronica is not expecting any gush-about meeting with the old master Sy just like what she had with the madam Vanessa Sy.

　　With or without the gender card, there is indeed the difference with how men and women act and react over a situation.

　　As long as the old master Sy is civil towards her, is treating her children properly and does not negatively talk about her family, then Veronica would treat the old master Sy with respect.

　　Veronica's thought regarding the difference between how men and women react to situations is indeed true with the old master who the entire time thought, 'Why would I still need to please my daughter-in-law!!? That's my own son's job in the first place!'
