"The Prosperous Group?" Veronica was shocked.
It was a famous big company in Umbrella City, and the boss was Harold. His status was higher than that of a first-class family; he was from the second most influential family after the three famous families in Umbrella City.
Veronica did not understand why Harold was against her. He had no way of dealing with such a person.
Later, Veronica asked someone to get Harold's phone number and call him.
"Mr Corwin, nice to meet you. I'm Veronica. Why did you do that?" asked Veronica in a low voice.
"This is Veronica. It doesn't feel familiar to me when you call me that. We'll be a family in a month. You should call me uncle," Harold said with a smile on the phone.

She continued, "Quinton helped me. I don't know this person. Someone has asked Quinton to help me, but I don't know who did it.""It must be Mr Jaxon. He comes from an influential family.
