Chapter 84: You're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?

There was silence in the dining room, only the sound of knives and forks contacting the plates.

Veronica was making a lot of noise on her side, stabbing the steak with her fork and sawing it back and forth with a serrated knife, her eyes dead set on Wayne without uttering a word, as if the beef on the plate was the man himself.

Wayne, "What a coincidence, you're having dinner too!"

Veronica, "This is my home!"

Wayne, "Dad's got great food!"

Veronica, "You bastard, just wait."

Upon suddenly learning that her mother had taken a student from outside and was bringing him home for a family banquet, Veronica was a bit stunned. What was this about suddenly having a student, and one her mother valued so much?

There was a sour feeling in Veronica's heart as she felt that a portion of the motherly love that belonged solely to her had been split away. She inquired whether Mister Lando was aware.

Mister Lando's face darkened as he described the student—social trash.
