Before the clock makes it to eleven, Madame Vanessa's car is parked in front of the mansion's gate.
The madame no longer decided to walk out and instead wait for her daughter in law to come over.
The ice cold queen Sy Madame was clothed with a stoic expression which will later on change to the kindest and pampering one once her lovely future daughter in law arrives.
After some minutes, Veronica was already outside the car and one of the madame's body guards opened the door for her after bowing.
Meanwhile, the observant driver and bodyguard were trying to hide their surprised look after seeing the one hundred eighty degree change in their madame's expression! Is this still the ice cold queen Madame Vanessa Sy?!
But of course, those were only their exaggerated thoughts and only stayed silent and calm while preparing to leave.
"How was your first night in the mansion dear?" Madame Vanessa asked in a thoughtful tone.
"It's comfortable auntie. I had a good sleep. How about you? You still went back last night even when it's already late. You should have just stayed over", Veronica, realizing how she sounded imposing, realized her mistake and was about to say sorry when the madame suddenly cried, or better explained, cried dramatically.
"It's really good to have a daughter in law! Dear, you should call me mom! We will end there eventually right? Right?!"
Veronica tried to hide her amusement. True to Rawlf's words, the mother was trying to trap her with her son. "Aunt-," when Madame Vanessa instantly raised her head with disappointment, Veronica could do nothing about it but let herself get defeated, "Mom, it's alright", Veronica knew the woman was just acting but also knew that the longing is sincere because of the lack of attention she received from her son.
"Oh how nice! Mom is really happy Vivi. You are the most loving daughter in law!"
Veronica, who doesn't know what to do, what to say, or how to react, just kept silent and smiled while rubbing the old madame's back who was 'sobbing' in her embrace.
The two women instantly caught the attention of everyone else in the Háohuá mall. The mall was actually to attract the rich and powerful elites of City I although it's open to everyone else as long as the people strictly followed the rules.
One, no picture or video taking of any elites or celebrity people inside the mall's premises and two, no disturbing of the elites or celebrity to ask for their photograph or a picture with them. Buttomline, no disturbing of the customer or fellow customer unless otherwise, you are personally acquainted with them.
Those set of rules indeed attracted the celebrity or elites who just wanted to stroll around or relax and live a normal life sometimes without the fear of being huddled up or disturbed by their fans. Those who disobey the rules would for eternity be banned inside the mall plus gets to fine a huge amount of money. This is legal because all customers, including the staff, were asked to sign the contract first that they will follow the rules before they are allowed the job or entry and then were each given a pass card.
Fans who just wanted to catch a glimpse of their idols would only be content to look at them from afar but that's the only thing they could do, unless they would want to pay the huge fine and suffer in poverty.
Members of the media were banned in the mall unless they're off duty and just strolling around to relax.
The security was also very tight in order to ensure that no paparazzi were able to enter and so far, no one successfully made it.
Veronica changed her facial expression into a kind one as soon as they entered the mall and because she knew and expected that she would attract attention from the people. After all, this was also a part of her plan. To attract attention from other people which eventually, would attract the attention of her enemy as well.
She felt the need to speed up the process of this whole thing because likewise with Rawlf, it is to guarantee their cubs safety when they are to arrive in Country P.
The sooner the better. Veronica thought.
Even without a pass card she was let for an entry because she's with the mother of the mall's owner.
Yes, Háohuá mall is a subsidiary of Sy International!
Some elites who saw the Sy Madame nodded at her in acknowledgement if they're lucky enough to catch her eyes.
Some would even continue staring at her just to catch her eyes and to let her know that they acknowledge her.
Madame Vanessa is known to be the ice cold queen of high society, the queen of the elites because of her son so they have of course, are obliged to pay their respect to her.
Although there is also another thing that caught their eyes and interest.
Who was the beautiful red haired woman beside the Sy Madame?! She looks a bit of a foreigner but still, there's still somehow a feature left in her that can identify that she's also a person of Country P. "Oh, a half breed". But the main question is, who is she and what is her relationship with the Sy Madame?!
"Dear, we should eat our lunch first. Then we can stroll around afterwards", Madame Vanessa said while looking all over the mall.
Her son is indeed the best for maintaining the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere inside the mall. Despite the number of elites and celebrities of high society, the fans were just around, in the corners, just watching their idols from afar and just letting them be.
"Sure thing aun-,... Mom."
Madame Vanessa clapped her hands elegantly.
"Perfect! I have a good restaurant in mind where we can eat. The foods are not as heart warming as Chef Boris but it's not bad for us to taste the luxurious and delicious ones from other five star Chefs."
Veronica nodded her head while smiling at the madame. As a foodie herself, Madame Vanessa's words are agreeable.
The two women only entered the restaurant leaving the bodyguards outside. As soon as Madame Vanessa was seen, the manager himself went out and assisted the Sy Madame.
"Good morning madame! It's nice to have you back! And to you as well, Miss?" The manager looked at the red haired woman beside the madame and turned to look at the madame to ask through.
"Oh, thank you Marco. Oh, and I am with my future daughter in law. She's Veronica." Madame Vanessa said, revealing the truth right away. A moment of silence just occurred inside the restaurant as soon as the words left the madame's mouth and even the manager was stupefied. 'Daughter in law?! But she only has one son and that is the scary and powerful and unreachable Rawlf Sy of Sy International!' The manager was shocked.
He then turned to look back at the young woman. Indeed! Very beautiful and seductive.
The mixed race in her genes truly compliment each other giving thus her this "the more you look at her, the more you'll be under her spell" kind of beauty.
Realizing his impoliteness, he suddenly bowed his head to show regret and respect.
Everyone in the high society knew very well of Rawlf Sy's capability and fuck prejudice, he's better off giving the possible future Sy Madame a respect than to be another stupid, self entitled and irrelevant person in the lives of these giants ah!
On the other hand, another woman was in the state of going on a rampage and it took her a great amount of self control just not to lash out right there and then!
Beside her aunt Vanessa, her future mother in law, was her most hated Senior, Veronica Wang who was just called by her future mother in law as her future daughter in law?! What about her?!!!!!
Julie Tan had the urge to storm right away in front of the two women who already caught the attention of the rest of the elites of high society who were also having their meal inside the restaurant and slap her no and kill her!
Yes Julie Tan was thinking about murder! But realizing her thoughts running wild and out of her control, Julie Tan paused and slowly calmed her breathing.
Then in her desperation, an idea to embarrass that bitch of a woman formed across her mind.
"Indeed, the higher you get, the harder you fall. Let me destroy you Veronica", Julie Tan thought as she looked at the two women walking their way on a table as led by the manager and patiently waiting for her right moment to pounce on her prey.
'I am the future Madame Sy, not anyone else and definitely not you, Veronica Wang.' Julie thought in full delusion.
