Chapter 299
Veronica‘s dead phone was fully charged and ready to use after she packed everything.
She turned on her phone while sitting on the sofa and saw that she had received numerous messages,
and the phone was continuously buzzing and vibrating.
However, she ignored the messages and went straight to the news.
‘Encounters Bridal Store smashed due to yesterday‘s incident‘; ‘Encounters Bridal Store was smashed
and staff were injured‘; and ‘Encounters Bridal Store is in trouble. Kingses stated they will not interfere…
Veronica frowned even more after casually scrolling through some news.
Conrad stopped her from going to the wedding store at the time. She simply assumed that there would
be reporters blocking the store‘s entrance.
However, it appeared that things were even more serious than she anticipated.
At this point, her phone vibrated once more.
When she looked down, it was a call from Shirley.
“Shirley, how‘s the store‘s condition now?” She asked as soon as she answered the phone.
“Oh, Ron, you finally picked up the phone. There was a mishap. Monica was injured this morning during
the chaos, and her amniotic fluid ruptured, so she was rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, she gave birth
to her child safely. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Monica was a wedding planner who had been hired temporarily by Encounters Bridal Store. She was
pregnant and was about to give birth, but she had no idea there would be such an incident.
Veronica was full of mixed emotions; she felt gloomy and depressed.
She couldn‘t help but sigh, knowing she should have asked Master Crayson to come to Bloomstead
sooner.
Outsiders could not enter Encounters Bridal Store if he was present, and this kind of incident wouldn‘t
have happened.

“Yeah, Jonas, Luna, and Claude were hurt as well. Moreover, all of our previous customers canceled
their orders last afternoon and this morning, and they were asking for refunds.”
Shirley briefly explained everything to Veronica on the other end of the phone.
Hearing that, Veronica raised her hand and rubbed her temple. She was stressed out.
“Allow all the staff to leave as safety is critical. After that, call the cops.”
“I called, but only two or three cops came, and it was impossible to maintain order at all.”
Shirley replied emotionally.
Through the phone, Veronica could hear the noisy background on the other end of the line.
“Listen to me. Evacuate everyone. Lives are way more important than the equipment,” Veronica said
immediately before hanging up the phone.
Then, she left with a backpack.
She didn‘t go anywhere but headed to Encounters Bridal Store by foot.
When she arrived at the store, she discovered that the door had been violently demolished, and a large
crowd had gathered at the entrance to cause trouble.
Veronica approached the crowd, looked at the group of troublemakers, and patted one of them on the
shoulder, saying, “Excuse me, what happened here?”
She was dressed as a man and spoke in a man‘s voice so that she could not be
recognized
“What else would it be? A bride and groom were injured in the store, and the person in charge has yet to
come forward. Thus, the Leonards ordered us to destroy the
store.”
While waving his fist, a man shouted, “Compensate! Compensate! We‘ll smash everything in your store if
you don‘t compensate.”
Veronica remained unconcerned and then inquired, “Hey bro, how much are you paid per day? Can I
join? I‘m an electrician, and I don‘t make a lot of money every day. This can be my side hustle.”
“Shoo, shoo! We don‘t need anyone else now. We are only responsible for wreaking havoc in this place
for a day. It costs two thousand per person, and such a good thing cannot be yours
The man muttered.
Only then did Veronica take a step away, watching a few police officers struggle to maintain order and
more than a dozen people standing at the entrance shouting loudly.
The Leonard Family hired people to cause trouble?
Her clear eyes narrowed slightly, and an instinct told her that the whole issue was not as straightforward
as it appeared to be.
If the Leonards were retaliated against by the Finley Family, they should seek an explanation from
Damien rather than argue for compensation at the entrance of the store.
Did the Leonard Family and Finley Family appear to be financially strapped?
Not at all!
So why were they doing this?
Veronica considered two possibilities.
First and foremost, she was now Elizabeth‘s godgranddaughter. If the Kings Family did nothing during
this incident, it would only have had a negative impact and caused financial losses to the Kingses‘
company. Second, did these people have the intention of messing with Encounters Bridal Store, or were
they trying to cover up the true culprit behind the scenes by causing chaos?
For a while, she couldn‘t figure out what they were up to, which caused her headache to worsen.
She stood outside Encounters Bridal Store, watching the wedding company she had managed for half a
year, and into which she had poured a lot of hard work and dedication, crumble into nothing.
This was probably her biggest regret.
If there had been an accident like the last time, her wedding store might have been able to salvage the
situation, but this time, everything was predetermined.
No one would want to work with a wedding company that had a history of mishaps.

Because it meant unfortune!
She then dialed Shirley‘s phone number and said, “Shir, please notify every employee that they will be
paid three months of salary in advance and proceed to let them sign a resignation contract. In the case
of our injured colleagues, I will
personally visit them in the hospital. You are not required to deal with it.”
Shirley nodded upon hearing Veronica‘s instructions.
Then, Veronica transferred some money to Shirley for her to handle the company‘s affairs.
Meanwhile, she made a call and went to the police station again.
Veronica went home to remove her makeup, change her clothes, and go to the hospital after she was
done dealing with everything.
She first went to the hospital to visit her injured employees and Monica, who had just given birth.
When she entered Monica‘s ward with the nutritional supplements she had brought, a man carrying a
baby approached her quickly.
“Are you Moni‘s boss?”
The mediocre–looking, dark–skinned man was Monica‘s husband.
He handed the baby to an old woman beside him, then walked angrily toward Veronica, before raising
his hand to punch her in the face. “Do you know that you nearly killed my son? If my son.”
She saw his hand swing out, but she didn‘t feel the pain. Instead, she gripped his wrist tightly with her
bare hands.
“Mr. Watson, what happened to your wife was an accident. I understand your rage, but hitting someone
is wrong.”
Veronica, who stood 5‘5 tall, walked in high heels and wore a trench coat. She gave Monica‘s husband a
cold look before shaking off his hand. “Today I came here to apologize and compensate. Why are you
making such a fuss, Mr. Watson?”
When Randall‘s mother heard the compensation, her eyes lit up before saying, “Hahaha, I see you‘ve
come to compensate. Randy, let go of her hand and see how she will compensate.”
He snorted coldly when he listened to his mother‘s words. He then turned around and walked into the
room.
