CHAPTER 126

When Rebecca was having lunch, Veronica came home crying and ran to her room.

Rebecca followed her into the room with a worried look on her face. Veronica had jumped onto her bed and buried her face in the pillow as tears kept flowing out. “Veronica,” Rebecca sat down and grabbed her arm. “What happened? Why are you crying like this? Did someone say anything bad to you?” Blood rushed into her eyes. While she might ignore insults thrown at her, she found it hard to digest when his sister was the subject of pain. “Tell me his name. I’ll go and put him in his place!”

“Don’t make things worse for me, sis. Just go.”

“Don’t speak like that. Tell me what happened. It will lessen the burden on your heart.”

“Leave me alone, please.”

“Veronica. Nothing will change from crying, “Rebecca sat down and tried to console her.” Only your health will worsen. So, please listen to me. Tell me what happened, and I’ll try to give you a solution.”

After crying some more, Veronica sat up. Rebecca wiped her tears off, but more tears leaked out nonstop, even though she wasn’t crying out loud anymore. “Who hurt you this much?” Rebecca was trying her best to not break something in rage.

“I went on a date with the son of the billionaire Ferver family,” she explained, her mouth turned down. “And he said nice things about dad, mom, brother, and you, but then he said I’m worth nothing because I’m not successful like you three.”

“He dared speak that way to you?” Rebecca’s blood boiled. Her chest size began to increase with every breath. “Who does he think is? Just because his father’s a billionaire, he thinks he can talk trash to you? I will go and” “He isn’t wrong,” Veronica’s head was tilted forward.

“What?” Rebecca was surprised. “I don’t have a job, sis,” Veronica’s forehead puckered as her sister lifted her head by the chin. “I’m still living off of our parents’ money. I’m pathetic, just like he said.” Her heart ached, and she began sobbing again. “No, you’re not,” Rebecca pulled her closer and hugged her. “You’re not a loser. You’re just slow compared to others because we all doted on you since you were young. That guy knew nothing about you. He had no idea what he was talking about, so don’t take his words to your heart. But… who even arranged a date with such a person?” “M-Mom…”
