Chapter 31

Russell suddenly burst into sarcastic laughter. “I was just messing with you, Veronica. I didn’t expect that it was actually true. You’ve got some skills.”

This was what Patrick taught him. It was called entrapment.

Veronica’s face changed. “Even if you know, what difference does it make? After all, the whole internet knows about my attempt to commit suicide by slashing my wrist, and you don’t have any evidence. Don’t even think about dealing with me by using audio and video recordings like Violet. Remember, they searched you when you came in, and that’s exactly what I was guarding against.”

She said so, but her lack of confidence was obvious.

Russell stared at her coldly, saying nothing, and sneered inwardly. But no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t outsmart Patrick.

Suddenly, Veronica grabbed a fruit knife and made a cut on her wrist. Blood immediately began to flow. She used her other hand to press a call–for–help button.

Russell was completely taken aback by her actions. He looked at Veronica with a mixture of emotions. “You…”

Veronica sneered. “This time, I really slashed my wrist. Do you think you still have any leverage to threaten me?”

“I truly underestimated you.” Russell no longer knew how to express his shock at this moment.

Veronica coldly snorted. “What’s the alternative? Let you find out and try to blackmail me? I’m not that foolish.”

As soon as Veronica finished speaking, a doctor rushed in. Russell was quickly pushed aside.

In the afternoon, the internet was once again in an uproar by a piece of breaking
