And from the previous situation, it seems like they have a deep connection.
It wasnât until Jasper, Veronica, and William had all left that the two of them seemed to snap out of it.
Mabel couldnât help but say, âWho exactly are you, my assistant?!â
Angelica actually wanted to ask the same question, but in front of Mabel, she instead put on a smug smile and said, âIt seems that Miss. Holt is in trouble now. I wonder if Miss.
Reed will be angry with you for treating my assistant that way earlier!â
Mabelâs face changed and she said, âDonât you use your assistant as a scapegoat? Youâre not any better than me. Miss Reed might blame you first!â
Two women stared at each other, and after a moment, they both tacitly turned their heads and began to calculate their own thoughts in their minds.
Jasper and Veronica arrived at the lounge where there were all the necessary amenities for washing up. Jasper asked Veronica to go ahead and freshen up first.
âIâll have someone bring the clothes to be changed in a moment,â said Jasper.
âJasper, thank you,â said Veronica.
âSister Veronica, youâre being too polite. Please go and clean up first,â said Jasper.
Veronica nodded and walked into the restroom.
Jasper then walked out of the lounge and saw William standing outside. âIâve sent someone to get Veronicaâs change of clothes,â William said.
âI didnât expect Veronica to be Angelicaâs assistant. She should still be in college,â Jasper muttered.
The Barlow and Reed families have had little contact in recent years.
Veronica only visits the Reed family before New Year each year, and is rarely seen otherwise.
She heard from her mom that although the Reed family promised to cover all of Veronicaâs tuition fees, after she went to college, Veronica said she didnât need the Reed family to pay for her tuition anymore and didnât need any assistance from them, and she was very insistent on this point.
So, the Reed family couldnât say much more and could only express that if Veronica ever faced any difficulties in her life, she should feel free to come to them for help.
And later on, she also found out intermittently that Sister Veronica had been working hard to support herself through college.
She used to feel strange, wondering why she had to make life difficult when she could have lived easily.
Later, her father said to her, âBecause sometimes, in some peopleâs eyes, maintaining dignity is more important than enduring hardship!â
âShe became an assistant. You can ask her yourself to find out,â said William. âBut what about those two female celebrities earlier? What do you plan to do?â
âWhat to do?â Jasper hesitated for a moment. If it were her before, she would have thought about how to stand up for her sister Veronica.
But now, she knew that if she acted recklessly, it might actually cause unnecessary trouble for Veronica. After all, she could protect Veronica for a while, but not all the time.
âThen letâs find a way to let them know that our family has a good relationship with Veronica,â Jasper said after thinking for a moment. In the eyes of outsiders, having the Reed family as a protective umbrella could also prevent some people from making trouble for Veronica.
âOkay, I got it. Iâll help you with that,â William said.
Jasper smiled and said, âThank you, William!â
Just then, someone brought in the clothes that Veronica wanted to change into, and Jasper walked back into the lounge.
Jasper knocked on the bathroom door and said to Veronica inside, âSis Veronica, Iâm coming in. Please put the clothes in the changing room.â
After saying that, she heard a âokayâ from inside before walking in.
