Chapter 222 (2): The Offense and Defense Reverse
“How dare he? I’ll teach him a lesson later. Don’t worry, Wayne. I won’t believe a word out of his mouth.”
“You’re the best, Master.”
Wayne looked touched, while Veronica gave him a derisive look.
Yes, Trash Sr.’s words were bullshit and should be disregarded, but so were Trash Jr.’s nonsense. Mother was being led around by two scumbags. When was she going to become mature like Veronica?
“Forget that bastard. Let’s get back to the auditors. I’ll deal with the known ones, but you’ll have to convince the secret auditors on your own. I’m guessing that the church will assign you a mission recently. Do well and show your best.”
Silvia added a warning, “Flora, the former Holy Maiden, has been trying to get a quota from me. She won’t let this chance go. Behave yourself and don’t give the auditors a bad impression.”
“You, especially, need to control your temper, Veronica. Don’t get easily riled up by others’ nonsense.”
“How about Wayne?”
“There’s nothing to worry about him. He’s a remarkable candidate, so he only has to keep a lower profile and try not to be too perfect.”
(Ծ‸Ծ)
Just tell me that you and Trash Sr. gave birth to him, and I was adopted. You only raised me to marry me off to Trash Jr. so that he can inherit the family legitimately, didn’t you?
“Don’t worry, Master. Veronica won’t be eliminated with me keeping an eye on her.” Wayne patted his chest and promised. “The former Holy Maiden has stayed at the church’s headquarters for more than ten years. Does she know the auditors? Is there a risk of Veronica and me getting dropped in the preliminary selection because she exploits her connection?”
