114: Chapter 84: You’re quite pleased with yourself, aren’t you?_2 114: Chapter 84: You’re quite pleased with yourself, aren’t you?_2 “Huh?!”
Veronica’s eyebrows shot up, this wasn’t the answer she was expecting.
“Alright, the truth is, I shalessly begged her to take on as her apprentice.”
“That’s more like it.”
Veronica pointed to the sofa across from her, and once Wayne was seated, she continued her interrogation, “No making things up, what really happened?
I rember when you were fleeing Lundan, being chased by that high-ranking person, how did you suddenly beco my mother’s apprentice?”
“Is there a possibility that the high-ranking person is your father?”
“What?!”
Veronica was stunned for a mont, and upon regaining her senses, realized that indeed, that could be the case.
No wonder Mister Lando was always unsuccessful, every ti he inquired it was soon, almost there, nearly finished—he didn’t want to clear himself up, which would result in the sa outco, wouldn’t it?
“When did you offend Mister Lando?”
“It started over three months ago, I was at ho enjoying a potato feast when a Magician Girl in a black robe burst into the Detective Agency.” Wayne said with a sigh.
Veronica understood, stood up angrily from the sofa, “This is outrageous, what is he thinking, that I would fancy a piece of social trash?”
“Hard to say, after seeing enough sons from high society, you might want to try sothing heavier.” Wayne mocked.
“Shut up, I won’t allow you to speak of my mother’s apprentice like that.”
Veronica sat back down, “Continue, how did you et my mother?”
“The night I left Lundan, the teacher and I were on a train…”
Wayne shrugged, “Rember when you sent to the train station?
Although I don’t want to burst your bubble, the teacher took as your boyfriend, and after that, we got acquainted.”
“This is nonsense, are they all blind!”
Veronica was furious, furiously angry, including outrage.
It’s said that parents understand their children the best, so why didn’t hers understand her at all.
As she said this, she glared at Wayne, who cooperatively slumped onto the sofa, presenting himself like a deadbeat freeloader.
“This is infuriating!”
Veronica grabbed her hair and scratched wildly, seeing Wayne’s infuriating look, she took off her coat and threw it hard at his face.
“Damn it, why are you inhaling so loudly, give back my clothes!”

Bang!
In another large room, as soon as Austin closed the door, Hefei grabbed his collar and pinned him against the wall.
The Lady of Dragon Blood possessed incredible strength, but Austin was used to it and didn’t even think about resisting.
He knew all too well that resisting would only excite her more, and then he would end up flat on the ground.
“Hefei, calm down.”
“Calm down?
You think you’re so clever, don’t you?”
Hefei said coldly, “What was that look you had during dinner, has the bank gone bankrupt or what?
Do you realize how embarrassed I was in front of my students?”
“I’m sorry.”
“What’s the use of apologizing now, I really don’t understand, why must you oppose in everything?
I won’t talk about the past, but what’s wrong with Wayne?” Hefei grumbled angrily, “you have no idea how popular he is.”
“He’s not bad, but…”
Austin’s expression showed a touch of displeasure, “Don’t you feel, he resembles a little bit.”
“Stop flattering yourself, which part of you is anywhere close to being excellent?” Hefei said, almost laughing out of anger.
“My wife is perfect, and my daughter is outstanding.”
“…”
That’s actually true!
Hefei was stunned for a mont and realized she was too close to the scoundrel, and that the shaless man was still trying to press his cheek against hers, so with an over-the-shoulder throw, she flung him onto the bed.
Wait!
Why is there a bed here?
Hefei raged, “Why did you bring to the bedroom?”
If you were unwilling, could I have dragged you over here?
Austin secretly argued internally, but plastered a smile on his face, pointing to the wall opposite, “I don’t know; maybe I haven’t looked at this photo with you for a long ti, I couldn’t help but reminisce.”
On the wall was a large wedding photo with a suit and bridal gown nestled together.
Underneath, on a long table, there were several fras capturing beautiful monts: photos of the couple, a mother holding her daughter, and family photos of the three of them.
The photo’s emotional impact was off the charts, and Hefei’s imposing aura imdiately dissipated by a good half.
Austin seized the opportunity, approaching his wife and speaking softly, “You haven’t been ho in a long ti, the last visit was brief, and you only had dinner with Veronica.
You have no idea how happy she was that night.”
“Don’t say those things, I know what you’re trying to do.
I’ll make it up to Veronica in the future, it’s my fault, and I’ll fix it myself,” Hefei turned her head, feeling it was too late for emotional appeals now.
“Of course, but if I were there too, Veronica would definitely be even happier.”
Austin took Hefei’s hand, and she struggled slightly, her movents betraying her Dragon Blood strength.
This is in the bag!
Austin raised his hand to embrace her shoulder, “I’m very happy you’re back, and so is Veronica.
I swear I’ll treat you better from now on, don’t leave, at least, co ho for dinner every night, let Veronica see you every day.”
Hefei’s spirit completely dissipated, the image Austin described was exactly what she longed for in her heart.
But then…
“I’m now the High Priestess of The Church, are you okay with that?”
“I’ve thought it through, I should not have always tried to constrain you, I shouldn’t have kept you bound to this house.”
Austin spoke passionately, “If my love is a wild horse, I will create a prairie for her, if my love is a bird yearning for freedom, I will build her a forest.”
Really, are you even my husband?
Hefei looked at Austin astonished, and as he shalessly moved closer, she raised her hand and pushed him away with a slap.
