"If you didn't witness it with your own eyes, how dare you say that my boyfriend had hit him, Madam Amelia?" Vera glanced at Quill with an unconfident look when she said the word boyfriend. Although they kissed last night, they still couldn't be considered a couple, so it was better that she clarified it.

Thinking of this, Vera added.

"And, when I said I don't have a boyfriend, I meant it. I will never go on a blind date when I already have a boyfriend. Madam Amelia, you are slandering me; ruining my reputation."

Amelia didn't expect Vera to be so eloquent. She was stunned for a while before she said arrogantly, "Don't deny it. Sheridan told me everything. He said your boyfriend beat him up so badly that he had to be sent to the hospital. He even said that you're the kind of person who would goon a blind date even when you already had a boyfriend. Vera, all of us here have watched you grow up; we can be considered as your parental figures. You can't do this to us."

In fact, Amelia was confident that Vera would not mention what happened the night before to protect her own reputation. What was more, the news she got was that Sheridan had only tried to kiss Vera, but she disagreed and slapped him in the face.

Amelia took it as a matter of fact that comparing a slap and being beaten up, of course, the latter would be more serious.

Parental figures?

After hearing that, Vera sneered in her heart. Did these people feed her or gave her money to spend? How dare they say such things?

Just as she was thinking, Quill, who was next to her, suddenly moved a little, as if he wanted to stand up for her. Vera reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and he looked over at her.

Vera hinted at him with her gaze, telling him not to do anything. She could settle such a small problem on her own. He had gone too far for her the night before; she couldn't trouble him further.

Quill pursed his thin lips slightly. Seeing that the young girl was full of confidence, it seemed that she knew that she could solve the matter easily.

Since that was the case, Quill stepped aside, intending to sit back and watch how Vera would win this match.

"Oh, look at the way you two are looking at each other, and here you're saying he's not your boyfriend?" Amelia began criticizing again. She sneered at Vera and said, "Just admit it, Vera. He's the one who bea Sheridan up, isn't he? I'm sure it's him. How can you two do such a thing?"
