Chapter 333
Veronica’s POV
Rollings House
I walked into the kitchen to make breakfast and found Imelda waiting impatiently sitting on a chair.
“Is this the time to wake up?” she retorted the moment I walked in.
“Is this how you work p>
“Honestly look at this maid, can’t even provide food on time to a family member p>
I was shocked at her audacity.
She was actually treating my home as her own and even throwing authority around.
“Imelda, first of all, I’m not that server who walked around holding her head down p>
“I’m the lady of this house p>
“And even if I do cook, I cook for my family, because I love to p>
“You want to eat food? Hire a maid to cook for you p>
“Oh, I forgot, you don’t have any money p>
“Cook it yourself p>
Imelda began to laugh.
“Veronica, you should remember I have your face, out of his house, everyone will believe I’m you p>
I exhaled as I refused to let her dictate me in my own house, especially now when Jonathan is beside me.
“Of course, you are free to leave whenever you want to, I can take care of our, my home for you p>
I was shocked to see her confidence.
I did want to confront her, but I also realized how dangerous she is since she has my face.
What if she harms someone in my name?
Today was the first time I realized the matter was more serious than I expected.
“So, do you think you can ignore me?” Imelda snarled at me.
A chill ran down my spine as I studied her face. The resemblance made me realize she can enter anywhere as me and god only knows what she’ll do.
“You, I’ll be going out tonight, make sure my footwear is clean p>
“I’m not sure which one I’ll be wearing p>
“You can leave,” I gestured to the maid to go.
“Imelda, even if she was hired cause of you, she is the Rollings House maid p>
“Not someone you can boss around p>
My anger was growing as I saw she was actually trying to control me.
Barely a few hours had passed, and a maid called me downstairs.
“Don’t you hear what I said?” Imelda was yelling.
“I told you to throw this vase, I don’t like it p>
“That vase was specially bought by you, now you’re saying p>
I realized the staff is also having trouble recognizing us.
“I am Veronica Rollings and the lady of this house p>
“When I want to bring something, I will p>
“When I want to throw something, I will p>
“Do you understand p>
“Or should I have Jonathan confront you p>
I could see the smugness on her face seeing the staff confused on who the real Veronica is.
“See,” she said, turning towards me.
“I can make promises, create scandals, or even damage your reputation if I want p>
“I could also commit a crime with your face p>
“What do you think p>
She was no longer a person with my face, she was a direct threat to me and my family.
“Do you think you’ll survive if you do anything against the law?” I asked her.
“It doesn’t matter,” she said.
“At least your reputation will be ruined, that’s all I want p>
“And when I go out? Won’t everyone believe I’m you p>
I already knew the matter wasn’t as simple as it looked.
Imelda now was a wounded wolf.
She could attack any moment and the consequences could be far more severe than we could ever imagine.
She could and can ruin my reputation with only one attack.
She actually made me feel insecure in my own home.
Jonathan should have made her leave the house the day she came.
But I knew his reason was the same as mine.
As long as she’s in front of us, we can keep an eye on her.
But her reasons were becoming unreasonable.
And I wasn’t sure if she was doing all this on purpose considering she did tell, ’I can leave if I want to and she can take care of the house for me.
Just then Jonathan entered and noticed the tension in the air.
“She’s misusing my face and ordering everyone around p>
Imelda feigned normal pretending our conversation was anything but harmful.
“I don’t know what she’s talking about p>
“I was only teaching the staff how to work, that’s all p>
“Imelda, if I’m allowing you to stay here p>
“Is only so you don’t cause trouble outside p>
“But if you dare use Veronica’s name or face in or out of the house, I’ll make sure you have no place to hide p>
I sighed as I realized Jonathan understood the seriousness of the matter.
“Jonathan, I was only telling what I can do with Veronica’s face, that’s all p>
“Nicky, let’s go p>
As I walked upstairs with Jonathan, I could see she was pleased after the mess she created.
I also realized Alex’s help had really given her a lot of confidence.
I also realized we can’t go on and keep on reacting to every threat that came our way.
“Jonathan, we need to deal with this matter p>
“I only realized she is more dangerous than I imagined,” I told him as we sat on the bed.
“With Alex backing her, she’s like an unstoppable bullet train p>
“We can’t wait for what she’s going to do next, sitting doing nothing p>
“I know, that’s why I called you to come up p>
“We need to make a proper plan before we confront her p>
“And this time it has to give her a full stop in using your face p>
“I agree, and I’m with you p>
“But if we discuss anything here, or anywhere in the city p>
“She may find out p>
“I suggest we pretend we’re going on a vacation and use the time to discuss on our enemies p>
“I agree,” Jonathan said.
“We have to make a plan and fast at the rate she’s going p>
I got up and closed the door as I could still hear Imelda yelling as the maids weren’t listening to her.
“Jonathan, she’s not the only one p>
“Fredrick and Alex should be dealt with as well p>
