Veronica's POV
After Tony finished helping Leonardo get dressed and wheeled him out, Daniel and I prepared to make our way to the main house for dinner.
When we reached the dining room, Daniel and I stepped inside first, discovering Hanna, Whitney, Kathrine, and Ashley had already gathered there.
Ashley was busy spreading gossip to Hanna, dramatically embellishing how I had supposedly mistreated her and the others.
The moment I entered, Ashley immediately declared, "Hanna, you need to defend me!"
Hanna gave a nod, and after I had walked in, she demanded, "Veronica, explain yourself. Did you create problems for Ashley and her sister-in-law at Queen11 today? How could you behave like that?"
With Cecile away from home, Hanna had assumed the role of household authority, fixing me with a stern glare as she interrogated me.
I shot back icily, "That's none of your concern."
