âAlright.â Vera tied her apron and started to cook, reminding Ramon, âDonât cry if you end up overfeeding yourself.â
Ramon snorted, âWith my charm, Fl be the focus of the attention wherever I go.â
Vera nodded. âYes, getting fat would indeed be attracting undue attention.â
Ramon looked somewhat disheartened. âCan you be nice?â
Vera, slicing potatoes, replied, âIâve always been nice and enjoying our conversation.â The only one not enjoying it was Ramon
Ramon felt speechless at her words.
Neil, upon hearing this, covered his mouth and burst into laughter.
He had moved his drawing board and art supplies to the kitchen. Wherever V
Vera was, he would be with her.
âMr. Ford, you have a guestâ Since Ramon had given an early headsâup, the servant brought the visitor directly to him.
Vera recognized the person. He used to work for her brother and later was employed by Ramon. That man was capable and
reliable
After nodding at Ramon and Vera, the person left before putting down something.
Vera noticed that he had brought a phone identical to Averieâs, which cost 30 thousand dollars. She didnât believe Ramon was so kind as to give Averie a new phone.
Sure enough, Ramon pulled out Averieâs damaged phone when there was no one in the kitchen.
âHow did it end up in your hands?â Vera inquired.
Ramon raised an eyebrow and said, âWhen all your attention was on Neil, 1 quietly kicked the phoneâ¦
He kicked it under the table, then retrieved it when no one was around.
He had noticed that Averie had more than one phone in her bag and when they left, the other phone in her bag rang.
The caller seemed quite angry, and it sounded like someone from the film crew urging her to return to set.
Averie was currently shooting a bigâbudget movie directed by a famous director, and the main cast had joined with award- winning aspirations. Averie, a star with a significant following, had secured a role as the second female lead with considerable effort.
She frequently took leave, arrived late, and left early. It was natural for the producers to be upset. Hearing the urgent call. Averie had to leave, and she wouldnât have time to look for her phone.
âWhat are you planning to do with it?â Vera asked.
âMake the most of it, of course, Ramon said, and like dissecting a body, he swiftly disassembled the damaged phone.
He then used tools brought by his subordinates to back up the phoneâs data onto a new chip.
After inserting the chip into his newly laught phone, he asked Neil to hit it again with the same force as in the morning.
Ramon replaced it in secret and sneaked back to the dining room. He tossed the new phone he had bought under the table. When the servants found the phone, they would find an opportunity to return it to Averie. Even if they didnât, Averie would

After all, it was so expensive.
to buy âCanât Avene afford to

one?â Vera asked, not to mock Ramon but out of concern that his
efforts might be in vain.
âThe Powell Group has long been unsustainable, especially in recent years with mounting delats. It relies heavily on Averieâs income. As a topâtier star, she barely kept up appearances. Ramón sipped his coffee.
âSo, Averie is a âfilial daughter in this sense? Vera mocked.
âShe earns money to support the Powell family, all to be on equal footing with Carlosâ social standing If the Powell family fell, Averieâs status as a wealthy heiress would be gone.
Ramon wasnât interested in talking about Averie. Everything she wore and used was highâquality imitations, with not a single luxury item being genuine.
If it werenât for the fact that phones couldnât be imitated, she would have bought a fake one to keep up appearances.
