Chapter 334
Veronica’s POV
A small remote town
We managed to come to a small remote town and booked a small lodge.
We chose this town cause it was far from the city and had very few commuters.
We needed to understand how our enemies were connected and decide how to tackle them once and for all.
At the same time I was also relieved to get some time alone with Jonthan alone.
After spending some casual time, we were back in our lodge.
“Jonathan, we have three people who are responsible for all the suffering we ever suffered p>
“Fredrick, Imelda, and Alex p>
Jonathan listened in on as I spoke.
“First, we should separate what we know from what we suspect, so our plan is based on facts and not possibilities p>
I made sure my anger was controlled as I wanted to think with a clear mind.
“First, Frederick p>
“Fredrick has manipulated people from day one p>
“He would often threaten me with Janet saying he wouldn’t care if she’s a girl if I came in the way of you and Imelda p>
“What??” Jonathan said, shocked.
“I know, I never told you,” I said.
“But at the time, I felt you favored her over me, and I thought he knew you would allow it or else why would he p>
“Nicky,” Jonathan said.
“That’s the reason Fredrick and Imelda took advantage of you p>
“You never told me anything p>
“But about the manipulation part,” Jonathan said.
“He did scam lots, be it orders, his connections or even his role in the attacks on some jewelry houses back then p>
Anger was rising inside of me as I recalled Fredrick’s doings.
“Next is Imelda,” I said.
“Even now I can remember the day she first kidnapped me p>
“I was driving to pick Janet from her school, when a car rammed into mine p>
“Two men came over, whom I assumed came to help me p>
“But the next moment they dragged me into a car, and took me to that abandoned building p>
“When I regained conscious, I overheard one of themes speaking on the phone p>
“He said, “Ms Imelda, we did as you said, and have already called Jonathan and told him his wife was kidnapped p>
“Then she came and told them to make it look like we both were kidnapped p>
“She also said, today I’ll know my place in your heart and can give up completely p>
I saw him clench his fists in anger.
“Jonathan,” I said, placing my hand on his.
“Control your anger, when the time comes, we’ll unleash it on the ones who deserve it p>
“Veronica,” he said.
“It’s not only about the kidnapping, but everything about her p>
“The way she used that night to make me believe Adrian was mine p>
“They way she manipulated me in making you live like a widow even though I was alive p>
“I can’t tell how I felt when I would watch you serving at the parties, or Janet looking from the kitchen door, waiting for you to come p>
“And the times she tried to become my wife, and now p>
“She’s gone beyond any imagination p>
“I hated her, but now thinking that she lived in my house as me, I feel sick thinking about her, and that too when she was the reason I was in that metal room p>
“I really don’t understand p>
“Is it Fredrick’s upbringing, or is it her blood p>
“And Alex,” Jonathan said.
“He financed Imelda and Jen’s face surgery so she could come over and access the vault to get the Blue Heart p>
“Alex is the one who gave that representative to bid for the necklace and tell about me not being able to recognize my wife p>
“Back then he came for the Blue Heart p>
“He thought it belonged to the Harmon’s, the reason he was pampering favors p>
“Yeah, he even tried to make me leave you p>
“Jonathan?” I said.
“Come to think about it, he knew about us back then p>
“Exactly, he’s known about us from the beginning, and all cause he’s Vale’s son p>
“Jonathan, you did understand who the main target was in his schemes, didn’t you p>
“To be honest,” he said.
“I was suspicious about him the moment he pestered you for a contract, yet seemed distant towards me p>
“Later on, from the time my inheritance was announced, my business position, my connection to the River vault p>
“All of these, made me his target p>
“He deliberately used jewelry representatives forcing me to open the vault p>
Even though everything happened before me, I really didn’t realize he was suffering so much.
“Why didn’t you tell me p>
“Nicky?” He said.
“You had your own matters, forgot you just met mom and found out about Fredrick p>
“I didn’t want to burden you with all these matters as you were already struggling with your parents’ matter p>
“Anyways, our last enemy is Fredrick p>
I nodded agreeing.
“Regarding Fredrick, we have too much on him,” he said.
“I know, when you began collaborating with him, he was fine at first p>
“But after some time, he changed,” I said.
“He started threatening me to keep my distance from you p>
“And would always tell Imelda was his daughter, she changed his life, and won’t let anyone interfere with her happiness p>
“He even once said, if I know what’s good for Janet, I should divorce you p>
“Is that why you once told us we should separate p>
“Yes, but when became collapsed, the doctor said you were emotionally unstable and not to cause any stress or it could be dangerous p>
“Fredrick stopped threatening me, only made sure I wasn’t too close to you p>
“He knew you were his daughter, yet he allowed Imelda to mistreat you p>
“It was his backing then that Imelda dared kidnap and got you involved in those car accidents p>
“Jonathan, we have proof of his financial misdoings, and about his abandoning me p>
“But he did use Imelda for his own benefit, and now dumped her p>
“This man really doesn’t have a heart p>
“Then it’s decided p>
“What’s decided?” Jonathan asked me, confused.
“I’ll deal with Imelda p>
“Nicky p>
“Jonathan,” I said, cutting his words.
“Before was a different matter p>
“Now she’s using my face against me p>
“That’s going to be her biggest flaw p>
“I’ll expose her for who she really is p>
“For now let her continue staying over at Rollings House p>
“We’ll strike when the metal is hot p>
“Alex is your matter p>
“After all from day one he’s been after the Blue Heart, and the River treaty p>
“I believe you understand these matters better p>
“Okay, but don’t underestimate Imelda p>
“Don’t worry, and aren’t you beside me?” I said, smiling.
“As for Fredrick,” I said.
“We need proof, so I think we can tell Daniel, Vance and John to take over him p>
“Daniel had connections in the business world p>
“Vance has law connections p>
“And John has the network connections p>
“Fine then,” Jonathan said.
“We have three enemies, so we need three plans as well p>
“We can’t deal with each one in the same way p>
