The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1724

"Who said that? Am I not one?" Moran retorted with a touch of irritation.

Veronica blushed. "Enough, stop teasing me! I need to check what stunt Patricia is pulling now. I have a feeling that she's going to cause trouble."

Moran merely nodded, keeping silent as he quietly kept Veronica company in their observation.

They noticed that Patricia was having a serious conversation with a man across the table, occasionally gritting her teeth as if they were discussing something of importance.

The man, who appeared to be in his forties, kept nodding and bowing as he listened to Patricia. The two clearly had an unequal master-servant relationship.

About fifteen minutes later, the man across from Patricia stood up and left.

Left alone, Patricia took a few sips of her coffee and seemed lost in thought for a while before she, too, departed.

After watching Patricia leave, Veronica wanted to follow her, but Moran stopped her.

"We'll be noticed if we follow her like this."

Restless, Veronica said, "I want to see where she's going. I need to know whether she's going back to the Howard family or meeting someone else."

As an outsider, Moran was more rational. "She's already left. It should be easy for your family to check her whereabouts. Following her now could scare her off and do more harm than good."

Upon reflection, Veronica realized Moran made a lot of sense. Following Patricia in broad daylight would be too conspicuous and could easily spook her.

Thinking this over, she immediately called Ida, asking her to help investigate when Patricia left and what she had been doing recently.
