After Sabrina departed, Veronica made her way upstairs, powered up her computer, and imrsed herself in work.
Nearly an hour passed before Leon sent over docunts requiring her review.
Veronica opened the files and scanned through them thodically. Imdiately, her attention was drawn to three newly added properties, their locations precisely marked on the maps provided.
She paused, studying the details more carefully.
All three properties were vacant units situated within the Murray family's residential neighborhood, positioned remarkably close to the Murray residence.
Truth be told, even though Cullen had previously arranged for her to purchase the house directly facing the Murray residence, that single asure hadn't completely alleviated her worries.
Mary enjoyed her daily walks around the neighborhood. Even with the Mack family no longer living directly opposite them, sharing the sa community ant encounters were inevitable.
This possibility had constantly troubled Veronica. But now...
Examining this new agreent, she couldn't help but wonder—was Cullen deliberately addressing her unspoken concerns?
While he might simply be expressing gratitude and preventing her from overthinking the situation, these three properties seed almost perfectly aligned with her needs.
As for any deeper implications, she refused to dwell on them. Instead, she moved to the next docunt.
It outlined Cullen's intent to transfer two billion dollars to her account as operating capital.
Despite having witnessed his wealth firsthand—at the auction and when he purchased hos for the Crystal family—seeing him casually move billions still caught her off guard.
After confirming everything was in order, Veronica contacted Leon.
Shortly after signing the agreent, the funds appeared in her account.
Regarding the properties, Cullen's attorney inford her that ownership transfers were still being processed, and within days, the property deeds would be delivered to her personally.
By the ti everything was finalized, morning had already slipped away.
Cook had recently undergone surgery, and Mary worried about her friend feeling isolated. She decided an afternoon hospital visit was in order.
Veronica volunteered to accompany her.
Starting Monday, work would consu her completely, likely preventing any hospital visits for the foreseeable future.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Veronica imdiately spotted Niall.
She'd previously dismissed any concerns about Niall and Cullen's relationship. The last ti she'd seen Niall standing outside the car waiting, she hadn't given it much consideration.
Today, however, despite the biting cold and gusty winds, Niall again stood outside, clearly positioning herself deliberately for Veronica to notice.
The ssage was unmistakable—she and Cullen remained perfectly fine together. Whatever Veronica did, she would never co between them.
Veronica offered a small smile but...
She glanced worriedly at Mary, unsure how she might react to Niall's presence.
Fortunately, Mary had lowered her head and hadn't noticed the woman.
Veronica kept quiet, linking arms with Mary as they walked toward the hospital entrance.
If Niall was waiting downstairs, Cullen must be inside.
Indeed, when Veronica and Mary entered Cook's room, Cullen was there.
He acknowledged their arrival with a greeting. Veronica maintained a carefully neutral expression.
Cook, however, brightened considerably upon seeing them. She grasped Mary's hand warmly and said, "I've troubled my dear old friend to visit again."
"We've been friends for so many years—why say such things?"
Veronica and Mary settled into chairs beside the bed. Both won noticed Cook appeared significantly improved today, with healthier color in her cheeks and a more animated deanor than before.
Seeing this transformation, they finally felt a weight lift from their shoulders.
