Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 98

　　Rudolph Sy was pacing back in fourth out of frustration. He was also unceasingly smoking.

　　For the past few days, his company had been suffering from an attack and unfortunately, if not because of his maternal cousin, who happens to be the vice-president of Ming Corporation, the company would have surely faced bankruptcy.

　　If only Rudolph Sy was capable enough to lead an old company like Ming Corporation, the attacks couldn't really have done worst but because of his mishandling, misappropriation of budget and all kinds of 'miss', it won't be too long for the Ming Clan to lose their ancestral earned legacy, the Ming Corporation.

　　On the other side, in the ancestral house of the Ming, Allia Ming is in a big fight not only with her father but with the rest of the Ming elders.

　　Allia Ming felt aggrieved. After exhausting all reasons as to why her son, Rudolph shouldn't be removed in his position, she could only resort to reminding her family of the benefits she and her son once brought to the Ming Clan when she was still with Robert Sy. Actually, she and Robert Sy never had been together or lived together under one roof, it's just that her continued threats using Rudolph that she was able to gain benefits from Robert Sy and the Sy Corporation. All throughout the years of Allia Ming's "hard-earned" by her son's corporation, in reality, if not because of the Sy Corporation and if not because of her older brother's son as the

　　vice-president, the business circle could have long turned its back from Ming Corporation.

　　The old master Ming's face changed slightly after hearing this 'reminder' from his own daughter yet he needed to calm himself and could only stand by her side.

　　Even knowing the incapability of his own grandson, the old master Ming must turn a blind eye because after all, indeed, his grandson is a Sy.

　　He knew that he was taking a huge risk but this huge risk also could give them huge benefits. If only the old master Ming knew that this decision would later lead to the fall-out of the company he so loved and worked hard to maintain, he should have abandoned his sense of gratefulness towards his daughter and grandson.

　　On the other side at Sy International, Rawlf was sitting calmly while waiting for the man opposite him to finish reading a copy of his contract. All throughout, the man shows no sign of emotional expression. After some minutes, the man finally put down the contract and looked at the man in front of him. Rawlf Sy, the most powerful figure in Country P is offering him a big deal where he is the party that could gain more benefits.

　　"I didn't expect that President Sy would offer this lowly person a deal where he could gain more. This scares this lowly person as to what the powerful President Sy's motive is?" The man speaks directly yet clothed with a euphemism.

　　"Vice-President Joshua Ming sounds tacky. President Joshua Ming sounds better." Rawlf replied.

　　The temptation is apparent.

　　Joshua Ming smirks. "President Sy must be joking. Meng Corporation is worth nothing to me."

　　"All throughout the attack, if not because of its capable vice-president, Ming Corporation should have long turned into ashes. Or maybe this President has guessed wrong considering the capability of its vice-president, the weak, provocative attack shouldn't have even done much damage."

　　Rawlf paused and continued in a slow manner, "Unless someone intentionally stood back."

　　Joshua Ming glanced once at the man sitting in front of him. Then he turned his line of sight to the transparent glass window with the panoramic view of City I.

　　"It seems that President Sy did his research well. Although without President Sy's help it won't be long for this lowly person to take Ming Corporation soon. However, this lowly servant also doesn't want to make an enemy of the President."

　　Joshua Ming picked up his glass of scotch on the table and sipped from it slowly. "Deal."

　　Rawlf smirks and the two men shake their hands. One is known to be very powerful. While the other whose power is yet to be known.

　　For the past days, Veronica was busy at Bael Headquarter and at the same time, with her Law Firm. Basically, in her busy days, Rawlf would bring the kids in the company. Hence today, she decided to stay at home and spend time with the kids.

　　It is a rainy morning as the wet season has started. She was in the living room with the kids when the house's telephone rang.

　　One of the house maids was quick to answer. "Young madam, it's the old madam."

　　Veronica walked to the telephone table and took the phone from the maid.

　　"Good morning mom. Is there any problem?" She greeted and asked at the same time.

　　"Good morning. How are the kids?" Old Madame Vanessa asks for the kids like she never saw them when in fact, she just played with them yesterday in Rawlf's office.

　　Veronica turned their heads to the playing children and smiled gently. "They're doing just fine mom. Would you like to talk to them?"

　　"In as much as I want to but I'm having my spa as of the moment. I'll visit them tomorrow. Anyway I called because I would like you to accompany me tonight to one of my friend's fundraising events. I forgot to ask you last time and only remember about it now. I already asked Rawlf that he should come home early tonight to accompany the kids since I'm inviting you out." The old Madame talked straightly leaving Veronica no reason to say no. She was about to reply when the old madam continued,

　　"I also already ordered a dress for you. It will arrive this afternoon." The old madam giggled then once again continued,

　　" don't worry about the size, the dress's materials are body hugging and stretchable. It will surely

　　suit you!"

　　Excitement apparent in the voice of the old madam.

　　Oh how nice it would be to have everyone see her daughter in law's goddess figure with the fact that she already gave her grandchildren.

　　The other old madam of another family would surely envy her fortune to have such a daughter in law!

　　Veronica couldn't help but smile with the old madam's cheerful attitude. It's the very opposite of how she was known for her public frosty attitude.

　　"Okay mom, no problem."

　　"Perfect! I'll fetch you tonight at six. Kiss my lovely grandkids for me. Ba-bye!"

　　Veronica was never given the chance to bid her goodbye as the old madame already dropped the call.

　　Meanwhile, in a luxurious suburban mansion, the beautician who was currently giving the madam a spa was having an incredulous look. This is her first time to witness this kind of attitude from the madam!

　　She had been the madam's private beautician and such cheerful attitude from the madam is too unbelievable that if she didn't witness it first hand would consider it as a baseless rumor.
