Chapter 331
Jonathan’s POV
Rollings House – Later that day
As I returned home, I was expecting to spend the evening alone with Veronica.
But what I saw was the last thing I thought I would see at home.
Imelda was seated on the sofa, and quite comfortable.
After seeing her so many times alongside Veronica, I realized she had a different look.
It was like with twins, family members can always differentiate between them.
She was ignoring the guards who were going easy on her as she was a woman.
“Boys, stay nearby, and make sure this person is never alone with Veronica or the kids p>
“Yes sir,” they said in unison.
“What the hell are you doing here p>
“Of course,” she smiled.
“I’m here to live p>
“Look, as you can see, I have Veronica’s face now p>
“No matter how much you dislike me, but now when I go out p>
“Everyone confuses me for Veronica p>
“I could easily pose as Veronica and even put her behind bars by doing something gravely illegal with her face p>
“But I won’t do anything as such p>
“Should I thank you for that?” I asked her.
I was furious as she was still using Veronica’s face for her favor.
“Jonathan, you know if I walk beside you and enter a room full of people p>
“Everyone will assume I’m Veronica p>
I realized she was using her face as a weapon to target us.
“Now that I can’t get my face back, I have to live with this,” she points to her face.
“If I fight, it will only embarrass you p>
“People are already accusing you of living with an imposter, that you didn’t even know p>
“And I also don’t want to misuse Veronica’s face so I can have a safe future p>
“So, just accept me living here, that’s all p>
Then she reached for her purse and removed a chain and wore it.
The chain had her name engraved on it.
“See?” she said, pointing towards it.
“I’ll always wear this so everyone will know I’m Imelda and not Veronica p>
I was disturbed as to how casually she was talking about taking Veronica’s face.
“Even if you have Veronica’s face or wear that chain p>
“It’s no excuse p>
“Having that face does not give you the permission to live here p>
“Permission?” Imelda laughed.
“Do you think I need permission to live here with this face p>
“How many people will you go about explaining who the real Veronica is p>
“Don’t forget, this face belongs to your wife p>
“You already had one person questioning you, want more p>
Her words were simple, but the threat behind them was solid.
“Guards!” I called out.
“Yeah, throw me out, and I’ll make sure everyone knows you kicked Veronica out for Imelda p>
“You are not and can never be Veronica p>
“Having her face alone is not enough p>
But the more I tried to study her, the more I realized she was not just here to provoke me.
Her confidence suggested she still had a backer.
First the representative accused him in public.
Then I found out he was a pawn of Alex.
Now I went and told him where the Blue Heart is.
So, it could also mean Alex had abandoned her so this is the only option she has left.
“Do you know Alex p>
“Is he helping you p>
She didn’t reply immediately, or take his name.
But she did speak.
“There is someone who knows the value having Veronica’s face means p>
“You may not know this, but there are others who want something from you p>
“You mean to say Alex’s obsession with the Blue Heart p>
“Alex hoped you would come here posing as Veronica p>
“And access the River vault, and once you would open the vault, you could bring the Blue Heart out, and hand it over to him p>
“But, Veronica was saved and your plan failed p>
Even though we had won, I knew this fight was far from over.
I also knew Veronica was still in danger from both Alex and Imelda.
This also made me realise as long as Alex and Imelda have a trump card in their hands, I and Veronica will always be in danger.
I had to find a way to change this fact and fast.
I refused to argue any further with Imelda.
“I won’t allow you to stay here, let alone control my family p>
“As for now, boys,” I told the guards.
“Keep her away from the bedrooms, and lock the study p>
“Give me a report of her every action p>
Imelda began to laugh.
I knew she was thinking I was getting intimidated by her.
In reality I refused to let my enemies dictate how I or my family would live or what we would do next.
I took hold of Veronica’s hand and went to our bedroom.
“The kids?” I asked as I locked the door.
“Adrian took them over at Daniel’s, Isabella thought taking the kids out would freshen their minds p>
I sat and called John on the phone.
“Imelda is here saying she’ll stay here as she has Veronica’s face p>
“I’m not sure but I think she still thinks Alex is with her p>
“But one thing I’m certain of, she may confuse the public in making them believe she is Veronica p>
“And she may do anything to ruin her reputation p>
“Looks like we need a strategy that can overcome the leverage Alex has on Veronica’s face,” John said.
“I’ve already told him the Blue Heart is at the Federal vault p>
“So, Imelda is of no use to him p>
“But I don’t think she knows that, but either way, she is a risk for Veronica p>
“I can’t sit back and wait for Veronica to be attacked again p>
“That’s why I’ve decided to make an announcement p>
“You want to tell everyone the Blue Heart is at the Federal Vault?” Veronica questioned me.
“No,” I said as John said, “I was going to ask the same question p>
“I plan to tell everyone who Imelda is and what she planned to do p>
“I’ll also clear the fact about the Blue Heart so no one else rises to question why I won’t open the vault p>
