Chapter 662 Here Comes Veronica (25)
Because her feet were suspended in the air, Veronica was scared and immediately struggled.
"Put me down. Put me down!"
While she was struggling, she constantly kicked Raymond with her legs and clenched her hands into fists to punch Raymond.
However, Raymond completely ignored Veronica's movements. Veronica's attacks didn't hurt him at all. Raymond carried her straight into the villa. Because when Veronica was being carried by Raymond, she kept struggling and shouting. Louis and Marie, of course, noticed that.
Seeing Raymond carry Veronica into the villa, Marie hurried to come over.
"Mr. Cordova, what happened? Why are you carrying Veronica?"
Seeing Marie, Veronica seemed to have seen her savior and hurriedly waved to her. "Marie, Marie, save me! Save me! Let him put me down!" Hearing Veronica's cry for help, Marie was even more certain that Raymond hurt Veronica. She immediately walked to Raymond and blocked his way.
"Mr. Cordova, no matter what Veronica has done wrong, you can't treat her like this. Please put Veronica down!"
Raymond took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He looked at the woman behind him. "Do you want me to put you down? Okay."
After saying that, Raymond put Veronica down from his shoulder.
As soon as Veronica's foot touched the ground, it hurt so much that she gasped.
Seeing that Veronica was in so much pain that she could not stand well, Marie quickly supported her.
"Veronica, what happened to you?" Marie asked Veronica with concern as she looked at Raymond warily. It seemed that Marie thought Veronica had become like this because of Raymond. "What happened? She went out to be a waitress and twisted her ankle!" Raymond said with a sullen face.
Hearing that, Veronica could not help but angrily look at Raymond. "If it weren't for you, my ankle wouldn't have been sprained."
"Me? How did it have anything to do with me?" Raymond looked at Veronica amusedly.
"I was wearing high heels. If you hadn't pulled me, how would I have twisted my foot?" Veronica retorted.
Raymond paused for a second.
What Veronica said seemed to be true.
Raymond was speechless for a moment and then immediately retorted, "I wanted to save you because I saw you being taken advantage of by someone."
"When did I get taken advantage of?"Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Raymond directly said, "Before I pulled you away, the man who helped you tripped you on purpose. When he was holding you, he touched you. Don't tell me that you didn't feel anything at that time." Previously, because she was angry with Raymond, Veronica had not thought about it. Now, she recalled her memory and did feel that she had been touched back then.
When Veronica realized that, her face turned a little pale.
Moreover, that man also had a wretched look on his face. If Raymond had not pulled her away, Veronica couldn't imagine what else the man would do to her. At that moment, Veronica's phone rang.
Veronica took a look. It was Stella calling. Veronica answered the phone immediately.
She guessed that Stella called her to ask her why she had suddenly left the manor. Veronica apologized to Stella the moment she picked up the phone.
"Stella, I'm sorry. I left the manor early because of an accident. The situation was special, so I didn't tell you."
"Ver... Veronica..." An urgent voice suddenly came from the phone. Because the voice was soft, it could barely be heard clearly. "Help... help me..." Although Veronica couldn't hear Stella's voice clearly, she heard Stella's last few words.
Stella was telling Veronica to help her.
Veronica was confused.
She anxiously gripped the phone in her hand. "Stella, what's wrong? What happened?"
"I... I feel so uncomfortable now. My body is hot. I don't have any strength at all."
Veronica suddenly recalled the matter that Raymond had told her about Rex before.
She looked at the time. The party was about to end.
Raymond had said that if Rex took a fancy to any girl, he would make a move before the party ended.
Veronica wondered, 'Stella...'
"Stella, did you drink or eat anything before?" Veronica asked nervously.
"I ... I drank a glass of juice that a guest handed me. Because that guest was too difficult to deal with, I drank it."
Veronica didn't know what to say.
Hearing Stella's words, she was extremely worried.
What Veronica did not want to happen the most might have happened.
Veronica took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm. She told Stella, "Stella, listen to me. You may have been drugged."
"What? What ... what should I do now? Stephen is not in Peace City tonight. I can't get through to him. What should I do?"
Veronica clenched the phone in her hand. "Stella, don't be afraid. Listen to me. The person who drugged you may come to you soon. What you need to do now is find a safe place to hide first. Try to find a place where people can't find you. Hide as long as possible. I'll go over right away."
"Okay."
After Veronica hung up the phone, her body was still trembling.
Veronica looked at the man in front of her with a pleading gaze. "Mr. Cordova, can I ask you a favor? My classmate, she might..."
Without waiting for Veronica to finish her words, Raymond made a phone call, asking the driver, who had not left the villa, to drive the car back.
After the call, Raymond said to Veronica, "The car is outside. Let's go."
Veronica nodded her head repeatedly and then hopped out of the villa like before.
Raymond took a look at Veronica's posture and carried her up directly again.
However, this time, Veronica did not call for help. Louis and Marie watched Veronica be carried away by Raymond.
On the way to the manor, Veronica did not dare to call Stella again. She was afraid that the ringing of the call would be heard by those who wanted to find Stella.
Raymond, who was sitting next to Veronica, called Edwin. However, Edwin's phone was turned off. Raymond called the other two people who might be able to help, but no one answered.
At that moment, Veronica received a text message on her phone.
It was from Stella.
"Veronica, what should I do? I heard them. They are looking for me. They're almost here!"
