A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

After the doctor left, Raymond looked at Shirley with a little pity.

At this time, Raymond's phone rang.

Raymond looked at the number on the screen, and his eyes darkened.

"Have you found Rodger?"

"Mr. Cordova, I haven't found him yet!" the person on the other end of the line said respectfully. "Mr. Cordova, don't worry. I have sent our men to look for him everywhere."

"You don't have to report to me when you find him. Just follow our routines!"

"Yes, Mr. Cordova!"

After hanging up the phone, Raymond still looked gloomy.

Rodger was Raymond's classmate in college. Rodger was also his rival at that time. Rodger always competed with Raymond for first place in everything, but Rodger lost every time. Rodger had always held a grudge against Raymond. Raymond didn't expect that Rodger would become the representative of the Fortune Group from Cloud City.

When Raymond was about to put his phone away, he saw a message.

It was from Edwin.

"I just passed by and took a picture."

A photo was attached to the message.

Seeing the photo, Raymond suddenly changed his expression.

It was because the person in the photo was Veronica, who was leaning against Justin's arms. Justin was about to carry her into the car.

Raymond recognized the car at first glance. The car in the picture is one of the Bernard family's cars.

Raymond stared at Veronica in the picture, who looked docile in Justin's arms.

He thought, 'Didn't Veronica say that she already had a lover? Why is Veronica with Justin?'

In the past, Raymond suspected that the lover thing was just a lie, and Veronica wanted to break up with him. Now... Veronica turned around and threw herself into another man's arms. Raymond had to reconsider her true motivation.

Thinking of this, Raymond called Veronica.

When Veronica received the phone call from Raymond, she had just returned to her apartment.

Seeing the name Raymond on the phone, Veronica felt a sting in her eyes, but she still answered the phone.

Veronica answered the phone while opening the door.

"Hello?" Veronica said briskly.

"Where are you?" Raymond's low voice was a little colder than usual, and there was a hint of questioning in his words.

Veronica slammed the door.

"I just arrived home," Veronica answered honestly.

Of course, Raymond heard the door close. "Why are you so late?"

"Oh, I had to work overtime tonight. I stayed in the company for a long time. I just got off work!" Veronica lied.

'Veronica was lying!' Raymond thought.

Raymond lowered his voice, "You said you worked overtime in the company today?"

"Yes!"

Raymond asked indifferently, "You have been in the office all the time and didn't go anywhere?"

Veronica replied, "Yes, I've been working overtime all the time. Where can I go? Besides, we two have broken up. Mr. Cordova, you don't seem to have the right to ask about my whereabouts, do you?" Raymond said in a low voice, "But I want to care about you."

Veronica's heart softened at his words.

"Where are you now?"

"In the hospital. Shirley was injured and is still in a coma," Raymond said flatly.

Veronica thought, 'When Shirley was injured, she would probably want Raymond's company, wouldn't she?'

"Is she seriously injured?" Veronica asked with concern. After all, Shirley was her idol.

"Yes, a little. One of her legs is broken, and she also has a slight concussion."

"Then, Mr. Cordova, you should spend more time with her!"

Veronica thought, 'Shirley did this for Raymond. It seems that Shirley really loves Raymond, so she sacrificed herself. Any man would be moved by such a woman. So Raymond and Shirley should be happy together...'

Veronica suddenly felt sad.

On second thought, Veronica thought that the two of them had already been engaged. Even if they were together now, that was no big deal. She should bless them. After a pause, Raymond said, "You really just worked overtime tonight and didn't go out? And you didn't meet anyone?"

"No!" Veronica said firmly.

Raymond's voice suddenly lowered. "OK, I see."

"You should stay with Ms. Hopper in the hospital. If Ms. Hopper wakes up and sees you, she will be very happy," Veronica said thoughtfully.

However, as soon as Veronica finished her words, Raymond hung up the phone.

Hearing the beep sound on the phone, Veronica felt her heart sink.

Veronica wondered, 'Raymond couldn't wait to accompany Shirley, could he?'

After hanging up the phone, Veronica felt more pain.

Maybe it was because when she picked up the phone, she tore the wound on her body.

At this time, someone knocked on Veronica's door. Stella's cheerful voice came from outside. "Veronica, open the door. I'm here to see you."

Veronica thought, 'Stella, why is she here at this time?'

Though confused, Veronica still walked to open the door.

Stella was holding some fruit in her hand.

"It took me some time to find your place. You..." As soon as Stella entered the room, she saw the bandage on Veronica's forehead. Stella suddenly changed her expression. "Veronica, what's wrong?" Veronica replied flatly, "Nothing."

"We are best friends. Do you still want to hide it from me? Tell me, what happened?"

With Stella's persistence, Veronica had to tell Stella what had happened briefly.

After hearing Veronica's words, Stella scolded angrily at Veronica, "You're too stupid. You saved others, but you put yourself in danger. If it weren't for that Mrs. Comte you mentioned, you might have died. Do you understand?"

"I'm fine now," Veronica said briskly.

"Well, what a silly girl! You don't look like you can take good care of yourself. You can move to my house. When you feel better, you can move back."

Finally, Veronica had no choice but to go back to Stella's place with her.

On the other hand, Raymond's phone rang again. It was the number of the person he sent out to look for Rodger.

"Have you found him?"

"Mr. Cordova..." A howl of pain came from the other end of the phone. "We only found the bodyguards of Rodger, but we didn't find Rodger."

"Keep looking."

"Yes, sir!" The man on the other end of the phone suddenly paused. "By the way, Mr. Cordova, I heard from the bodyguards that a woman saved Ms. Hopper."

Raymond thought, 'A woman saved Shirley?'

Raymond frowned, "Who is that woman?"

"I don't know. I was told that she was wearing a waitress's clothes. Maybe she was a waitress in the hotel, but that woman disappeared from the hotel after she saved Ms. Hopper. The hotel staff doesn't know who she is."

That hotel was a big hotel. Generally speaking, the management should be strict, and it should be easy to locate an employee.

"Call the hotel and ask them to find out who she is. After that, ask the hotel to reward her well. The reward will be paid by the Cordova Group."

"Yes, Mr. Cordova!"
