Chapter 647 Visit
Veronica rang the doorbell, and a pudgy, bearded foreigner approached her. He asked in Chinese,
“Who are you? Are you looking for someone?”
She answered in fluent Chinese, “I’m Veronica, Yvonne’s friend. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer know I’m
coming.” “Oh, it’s you. Come in.” The man cracked a smile right after she announced herself. He
opened the golden gates and welcomed her. “Please get into the car, Miss Murphy. I’ll take you there.”
“Sure, thank you.” She got into the car, and the servant drove her through a few vineyards before finally
arriving at the castle. “Weird. Where are the other servants?”
The Spencers had ten thousand acres of land, yet there was barely anyone around. It felt forlorn, even.
Like the place was abandoned.
“The manor’s sold. The master and madam will be moving out soon, so they sent most servants on

Veronica was shocked, but she decided not to ask any further. She got out of the car and followed the
servant into the great hall. The moment she entered, she saw a couple on the couch talking about
something.
“Sir, Madam, Miss Yvonne’s friend is here,” the servant approached them and announced. The
Spencers looked at her and stood up.
She went up to them politely. “Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, I’m Veronica. Yvonne’s my friend. I just landed in
Castron, so I thought I would swing by for a visit.”
The Spencer couple was in foreign attire due to them living most of their lives here.
Mrs. Spencer’s short hair was tied up in a bun. She was wearing a black wool sweater and adorned a
light grey shawl made of mink fur. She was nearly fifty years old, but the lady kept herself well, and a
hint of beauty remained. Unlike the other ladies in the upper society, she didn’t bother with
resplendence. Though she had light makeup on, it couldn’t hide the harried and sorrowful look in her
eyes. She looked at her husband solemnly before approaching Veronica. “So, you’re Veronica?”
“Yes.” Veronica handed them a little gift and said, “I’m sorry for the sudden visit. I hope I’m not
intruding.”
“Oh, you didn’t have to buy us anything. Come in. Sit.” Mr. Spencer invited her in. He looked a lot
friendlier than his wife was.
Veronica headed to the couch and looked at the second floor. “Is Yvonne still asleep?” Too many things
were going on at once in her life lately that she had no time to see her friend.
She told the Spencers what happened to Yvonne before she was married to Matthew. Then, she heard
that Yvonne was saved after that. She only called Yvonne once, and they stopped staying in touch after
the incident at the wedding.
“Um…” Mrs. Spencer stammered. She seemed to find talking about this difficult.

“She…” Mrs. Spencer shook her head and heaved a sigh. “She’s gone.”
“Gone? Where’d she go?” Veronica looked a little surprised. This is her house. Where else could she
be if not at her home?
Mr. Spencer, whose name was Hensen Spencer in full, adjusted his glasses and took the seat across
from Veronica. He also shook his head and sighed. “This is a tragedy. I failed to protect my daughter
from all those suffering.”
A servant approached Veronica and handed her a cup of tea. She said thanks and kept on listening to
Hensen’s story.
“I sent my men to save her right after you called. We did bust her out, but that b*stard, Zac, has that
scandalous video of Yvonne. I… I…”
