Mia hesitated for a moment before speaking honestly, "I can't deny that I have personal motives. I... I know you don't like Eviette, and I want to... work together with you. Shall we deal with Eviette as a team?"
She was aware that she couldn't handle Eviette alone. But if she joined forces with Veronica, there might be a slight chance of success.
"I do appreciate nature, but when it comes to cooperation..." Veronica, who had been silent for a while, glanced at Mia. "I won't cooperate with you."
"Why?" Mia was puzzled. "Eviette almost killed you, and you're not planning to fight back? Veronica, you're being too cowardly."
She suddenly questioned her perception of Veronica. She had believed that Veronica was fearless, capable, and vengeful. But the situation had changed.
"Being cautious can save lives, and there's nothing wrong with that." Veronica didn't bother to explain further and got up to go to the dressing room.
Reconciling with Mia would be beneficial, but scheming against Eviette with her seemed futile. Mia didn't know the true background of Eviette, so how could Veronica lead her into a dangerous situation?
"Being cautious is one thing, but Eviette is after your ex-husband. Aren't you afraid she'll really take him away?" Mia persisted, doing her best to persuade her.
This time, Veronica ignored her.
